10/06/25 What We Created Together Under the Harvest Moon 🌕

 


There was a moment, just a few days before our Transforming Our World: A Full Harvest Moon Gathering, when I almost canceled.
Ticket sales were slow. Only two names were on the list. And I’ll be honest—it was discouraging.

But something deep within whispered, no… hold the space anyway.
So I did.

And then, the most extraordinary thing happened.

People began to walk in. One by one.
By the time we gathered in circle on Sunday afternoon, there were eight radiant guests and five incredible practitioners—all together, thirteen souls held in a room filled with golden light, tears, laughter, flowers, and frequency.

It was nothing short of transformative magic.

The tears, the connection, the love, the uplifting, the hugs, the flowers, the sharing, the support given and received, the learning, the unfolding of it all… absolutely, undeniably incredible.

I’ve been flying on that energetic high ever since.

And tonight—under the light of the actual Full Harvest Moon—I’m reflecting on just how powerful it is when we choose to show up anyway.
Even when it’s uncertain.
Even when the numbers don’t look “successful.”
Even when doubt whispers that maybe it’s not worth it.

Because it always is.
When hearts gather with intention, the medicine always arrives.


With deepest gratitude to the circle that made this magic possible…

Patty Young — For bringing the wisdom of the ages and welcoming our grandmothers, grandfathers, and ancestors from all directions into the sacred space. The depth of your wisdom was felt by all.

🌈 Jaci Dayley — For guiding us through the Colour Mirrors and helping us see the messages our souls were calling forth. The clarity and truth that surfaced were breathtaking.

🎶 Elise Burrows — For being the maestro with the singing bowls, blessing us with solfeggio frequencies and the high vibration of fresh-cut flowers. (My kitchen counter still hums with color and light thanks to you!)

🎤 Keturah Allgood — For opening hearts through song and story, and reminding us how deeply we are connected through sound and courage.


The Full Harvest Moon energy pulses strong. A new phase begins—and with it, an invitation to keep letting go of what no longer serves, while welcoming in what’s new… with hearts full of gratitude.

This, my friends, is the way.
And I believe we truly did transform our world—one circle, one moment, one open heart at a time.

May we continue to gather, to grow, and to remember that even the smallest circles can hold the greatest light.
With love and gratitude,
Rachel Dickson

10/04/25 The Remembering

 


Just over a year ago, Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina and left her mark on the land and in our hearts. So much changed forever — forests reshaped, rivers rerouted, lives altered in ways big and small and lives lost.

Today, while riding along the newly reopened Blue Ridge Parkway, I was reminded of just how Blessed we all are to be able to experience the majesty found along the BRP again. At one of the pull-off overlooks, among the rugged edges of autumn, I saw them again — tiny clusters of Smooth Aster, their violet petals swaying in the wind. Just like last year, when they caught my eye in the middle of grief, they whispered the same message:

“We are here to remind you of resilience. Even after the storm, beauty finds a way.”

As the Full Harvest Moon rises tomorrow night, I feel the weight of memory mixed with the promise of renewal. The moon has always been a mirror — illuminating what is ready to be released, and what longs to be welcomed in. And in times like these, ceremony matters.

That’s why I created Transforming Your World: A Full Harvest Moon Gathering — a space for us to gather, to pause, and to reconnect with what is sacred and steady within us.

Together we will:
✨ Open sacred space with Cherokee descendant Patty Young
✨ Receive color-inspired guidance through the Colour Mirrors Bottles with Jaci Dayley
✨ Soak in the healing vibrations of a live crystal bowl sound bath by Elise Burrows
✨ Journey inward with a guided meditation led by me, Rachel Dickson
✨ Carry it home with a downloadable Gratitude Journal for ongoing reflection

This is more than an event. It is ceremony — a circle of remembering, healing, and transformation under the light of the Harvest Moon. Please join us!

📍 Elk Haven Wellness Center | Brevard, NC
🕑 Sunday, October 5 | 2–4 PM
🎟 Tickets: $35 (includes Gratitude Journal PDF)

Come as you are. Leave with renewed energy, clarity, and connection.
