  SPEAKER_00: our feet sinking,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: calves relaxing,
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: knees rolling out,
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: thighs just binding ourselves to the bone of our thighs.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: And feeling all the fat and the muscle and the flesh just dripping away till
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: there's just bone there,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: just bones.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Letting everything else soften and melt.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling our pelvis, feeling, feeling, feeling.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Our whole pelvis like a bowl that's full, full, full, full to the brim.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Like we're carrying the whole weight of the world is being
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: filled into our pelvis and then let it go.

• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So much space.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: So much space, just feeling our bones.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing else, just bones.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Everything else dropping, dripping, dropping.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: And the shoulders, heavy.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: And the head, the earth catching the weight of our head.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: Holding, nestling, supporting the weight of our head.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: And feeling along our fingers and up our arms and back to the shoulders, dropping it all.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: And in this relaxed state,
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: calling in,
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: summoning,
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: imagining anything that might support us to imagine,
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: to dream.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: Anything we like to
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine it could be a great yew tree or it could be a rainbow or it could be a
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: grandmother long dead and in the stars or it could be a favourite pair of socks.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: This is your journey.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: This is your journey.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gathering around you all that you need for this journey.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: And in front of you,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: With your feet,
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: your journeying feet,
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: your imaginary feet firmly planted on the ground whilst this other body of yours
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: lies quiet and safe.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: These feet, these journeying feet see a forest.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: And before you step into the forest, just feel behind you.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Feel behind you the things that haven't felt right and don't feel safe in your life.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Think of anything that's worrying you,
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: things that you want gone,
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: things that you want changed,
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: things that you want different.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: People, situations, worries,
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Think of those things.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Think of anything that you're worried might not wish you the best.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Feel them all crowding, crowding, crowding, crowding, crowding, crowding, crowding around you.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: And when I shake my rattle, you're going to step into the forest where they cannot reach you.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: And all of it will stay behind.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: So feeling them all.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Any attack, any jealousy, any movement towards you that you don't feel safe with.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: And you're in the woods now.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you're lost.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: But the trees are such good company.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Somehow you know the way their roots are crisscrossing under you.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: That they're cradling you.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: And you walk through the woods.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: And you look at the branches of the different trees.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: And you take in the colours.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: And you feel the forest floor under you.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: And you breathe now and it's a different kind of breathing.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's a pine-scented deep breath.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: And you know that every breath is healing you.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Every breath is filled with the herb and cedar of the woods.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's healing you.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's nourishing you deeply.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: softening, opening, wandering in the woods.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a warm breeze that's blowing gently through your hair, blowing gently on your face.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's blowing gently on your body.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: And that warm breeze, it seems to be permeating you.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: filling you with warmth as you walk through the canopies of these trees,
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: as you feel yourself lost in the mystery of the green,
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: of the emerald green,
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: of the dark green,
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: of the lush green,
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: of the verdant green.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: And all of a sudden and all at once you feel the life in this forest, that under your feet there are
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Creatures and crawlers and four-legged and furry ones and birds and squirrels and
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: foxes and hares and badgers and moles and hedgehogs.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: All around, living.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's full of life, this forest.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: And you can feel the life around you.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: As you keep on wandering with the soft warmth around you,
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: with your feet touching the forest floor and another step and you see a mushroom
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: just seem to pop up and you look around now and you can't believe you haven't seen
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: them before,
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: but there are mushrooms everywhere.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's as though a spotlight has suddenly been turned on and the mushrooms are all around.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you know that each mushroom is connected all across the forest floor.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: And it seems to you that the mushrooms are like star constellations.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: that they all have their own patterns and you wonder for a moment,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: if you looked up at the stars,
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: if it were night and you were looking up at the stars,
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: would they be making the same shapes?
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: And in and out, these patterns come.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: The geometry of the mushrooms, of the shapes, of the way they cluster together and spread apart.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: They seem to be revealing themselves to you more and more and more.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: And as you feel them pop and shroom, so you feel things growing on the inside.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Places that have been dormant for a long time.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Places that you haven't given your attention to for such a long time.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: You feel them coming to life again.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: And you just feel that energy of you
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: of the landscape of you.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling the relief of giving yourself some attention.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling the relief of playing with colour and picture.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: And you keep on walking.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: And now as you walk, you feel like you're walking deep inside yourself.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like this forest is a place deep inside yourself.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you're walking.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you're not sure where you're going.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: But somewhere you know.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: And you're not sure.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: But somewhere
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: you know and the trees seem to thin out until you're in a clearing and you're
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: surprised to notice that as you look around it's almost exactly the shape of a
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: circle you get the feeling that once there was a house here but now
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: it's a clearing grass filled clover filled and you know that this was once the home
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: of the seven dwarves and you look around the clearing as though it's a clock
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: And you can't see very clearly, but at each, in seven places around the circle, there's a tree.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: And each of the trees different,
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: different shaped leaf,
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: different seed,
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: different trunk,
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: and you don't recognize them.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Some you do, others you know you've seen before, but you don't know the name of them.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you don't know if you're thinking it or if the tree is saying it,
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: but there's a voice coming from the first tree.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Seven Doors.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: I am the Keeper of the Seven Doors.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: In your world this story has been changed and you call us Dwarves because in your world you have been
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: marginalising this power for so long.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: But not here.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: Here we allow you to see us in our magnificence, in our fealty, in our honour.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Here we allow you to see us as we stand proud to support you on your journey.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: And we know that everyone has this support,
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: that everyone has the grove of doors,
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: of the seven doors where they can come and they can receive what they need.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so the first door speaks.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: And the first door offers in its hand an acorn.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: This tiny acorn is your longing, your hidden longing, squashed and packed and tucked away.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: This tiny acorn
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: is yours and you feel the acorn in your hand and as soon as you feel it you can
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: feel it pulling on a place on the inside this tiny acorn needs to grow it needs to
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: grow so much be fed so deeply
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: that the hard casing on the outside cracks, that the new tender shoot unfurls.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: There is no end to the growth of this shoot.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: And as you hold the acorn still, you can feel
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: All the packed tight places inside you.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: All the unmet places inside you.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: All the hidden places.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: The waiting to be seen places.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: And a soft, soft rain begins to fall.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: And you realise you're crying.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: And this soft water falling around you.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: you know will nourish your acorn and so you hold it and you can feel so much moving
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: inside you and you know that it doesn't have to happen all at once it can take its
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: time
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: And as you breathe and as you hold the acorn, the wind blows again.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: And a frond of blossom passes your eyes and you look to the next door.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: And the next door is full of the blossomiest blossoming blossom.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: And as the blossom begins to fly around like confetti falling off the tree, you can see the buds.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can see the buds of the seeds and it's an apple tree.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Beautiful, beautiful apple tree.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Look at my fruit.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: Look at my fruit, but really it's just protecting the seeds deep, deep, deep on the inside.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: So I make and I make and I make with my fruit.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I delight as the children bite into me and I delight as my fruit is made into
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: crumbles and chutneys and cakes and cider and vinegar.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that the more my fruits are used,
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: the more that they are cooked and baked,
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: the more seeds that will be scattered around me.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: So share your gifts, says the apple tree.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Share your gifts.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: And you can feel the sweetness of the taste of the apple.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: And you bow your head to the apple tree.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: Because there is a tree next to the apple that has caught your attention.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's shivering.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: Quivering, the aspen says.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm quivering.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm vulnerable, the aspen says.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I am allowing myself to be moved.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: Find yourself safe spaces this winter where you can open enough to be as vulnerable
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: as the Aspen,
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: where you can allow the quivering places to move and shiver and shake like me,
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: the Aspen says.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: And you find your body moving with the Aspen, quivering with the Aspen.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: around the circle turns and you look up large leaves and great candles of flowers
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: on top and you know that you've arrived at the horse chestnuts
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: And the horse chestnut,
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: with its promise of glossy conkers,
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: makes you smile and remember the child inside.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Play, says the horse chestnut.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: Play.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: Delight.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: These are the qualities that I bring to you.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: Joy and play and delight.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: And the chestnut shows its leaves like an open hand.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: And it lifts up its leaves like open hands.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: And you find yourself lifting up your hands too to join the hands of the horse chestnut.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Connection.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Play.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Play.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: And your heart lifts and a place inside that you'd put down long ago makes a promise to play.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you can feel for a moment your older self reaching in to your younger self,
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: lifting it up,
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: swinging,
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: playing with it,
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: connecting.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: And then onward, the circle turns to the next tree.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: And the next tree rises deep and high into the air.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: Higher and higher, higher than a mountain it goes.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: And it appears to touch the sun, the moon and the stars as it goes up so high.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: And you feel your whole body expanding.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: as you rise up to try and see the tip of this infinite tree.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then light starts to drizzle down from the tree, crackle and spark.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: And you feel the planets all around you, the cosmos, the vast, vast cosmos.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: And the tree seems to be nodding and saying, yes, you're part of it all.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're part of this beautiful celestial dance.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're part of it all.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: And as you connect.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: with the Milky Way, with the sun, the moon, the stars, all the stars, all the stars, all the stars.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: You feel yourself expanding and expanding and expanding and expanding to touch,
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: to receive every star,
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: all parts of you,
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: all the thing that you are made of,
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: all the thing that you are made for.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: And still you open and connect and open and connect and open and connect.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: Vast, vast, vast, vast you are.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then you feel as the circle turns.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like you're bringing all of this light, all of this magic, deep, deep, deep into your body.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: And you see another tree.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_00: And it's grey like an elephant's trunk.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it's rooted deep, deep into the ground.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_00: You can see some of its roots lifting up out of the ground, thick and sturdy.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then right down deep into the ground.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: You just know because the canopy of the tree above you is thick.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: so vast and so huge and some of the branches coming out are almost as big as the
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: trunk itself and you feel you could climb climb climb up it and as soon as you
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: think that there you are on the lowest branch
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: And you're climbing,
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: you're climbing,
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: you're climbing until you find yourself in a really comfy place in the tree.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: And you can put your arms around that vast trunk.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: And as you put your arms around that vast trunk, you feel how solid it is.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: how grounded it is.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: You feel the roots deep into the ground and as you're holding that tree,
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: you can feel the tree all the time receiving from the earth and receiving from the
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: earth and all of the sap rising up through the trunk.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: You can feel it coming past your arms,
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: past your body as you're there and you know that you can do the same.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_00: So with your arms around the trunk, you feel yourself
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: commanding the energy of the crystal earth,
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: the energy of the salt earth,
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: the energy of the mineral earth,
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: the energy of the ochre earth,
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: the energy of the deep sooty peaty earth coming up into your body,
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: strongly,
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: strongly,
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_00: strongly up into your body as your arms around that beech tree
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: And you stay there for a while with your arms around the beech tree until a sound distracts you.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_00: You see the willow tree bending next to you.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: You see the willow tree
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: moving and being moved by the wind.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: You see the willow tree and its roots deep in water, drinking, drinking up.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: And you just know that that willow tree is full of so much water.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_00: And as you wonder what it's like to drink directly from the roots into the river,
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_00: you can feel it happening to your body.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's becoming water.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's becoming a flexible, waving dance.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: You get lost in that movement.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's as if you and the willow are dancing together.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: You're dancing with each strand of its beautiful branches.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: And it's shaking and laughing and saying, they call me weeping willow.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: Don't they know I'm shaking with laughter?
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_00: Don't they know?
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: and the mirth of the willow tree continues and continues until it starts to shake
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: into tears and it starts to cry and cry and cry and cry and cry and then again
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_00: laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and so the circle goes around and
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: around and around and around and you dance with the willow tree and you turn around
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: the circle and you dance around all the trees
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: And you're moving with the trees in all different ways, surprising ways and silly ways.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: Waves of self-consciousness running over you and disappearing and reappearing and
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_00: disappearing and still you dance.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: And they say, we are the grove.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: We are the grove of the seven doors.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_00: And as you look around them again, you can see
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: Stout figures, yang figures, guardians, protectors around each of the seven trees.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_00: And they all have gifts for you.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: They all have messages and whisperings and statements and promises and suggestions and humbly.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: One by one, they offer them.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: Humbly, as the drum beats, you see these yang beings with their practical honouring.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_00: One by one, you meet them.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: one by one one
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: one by one
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: They sing to you.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: They honour you.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: They laugh with you.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: They dance with you.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: But they give you some practical plans.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_00: They give you some practical advice.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: From the knowledge of their strong hands.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_00: From the wisdom of their years.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_00: From the age of their earthwalk.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_00: And they tell you they'll be there.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_00: They tell you they're here.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_00: They tell you to look around, look them deep in the eyes.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so you turn and you look each one deep in the eyes and they nod.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: And your heart is gladdened and filled.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: And you're by yourself in the Grove.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't feel like loneliness.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: It feels like a richness.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_00: and you remember that you laid your body down somewhere and you walk back out of
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_00: the woods and in to your body wherever you are listening to my voice being with me
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: back back into your toes
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_00: back into your shoulders, back, back in to your body.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: And as you come back into your body, just yawn and stretch.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_00: And know that any time
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_00: you want to plug in with these places, you can listen to this recording again.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_00: Just know that any time you're feeling disconnected, you can listen to this.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_00: And offering great thanks to the trees and the guardians of the trees and the doors,
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: the dwarves,
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_00: to the stars,
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_00: to the sun,
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_00: to the moon,
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_00: to the great chalk circle around us that kept us safe,
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: is keeping us safe,
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_00: and to your willingness to listen to this journey,
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: to all of the hearts that are connecting around this listening.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: Go well.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_00: Go simply.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_00: Go peacefully.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: Blessings.
