The death of toxic belief systems | The Mountain Mystic Weekly Newsletter


Whatever you do to Her,
you do unto the whole web of life:
The one that connects to you,
the one that weaves through you,
that becomes you,
that is, you.

~ From "To Grow A Forest"


Hi there,

I've been thinking about this little piece I wrote last week. I wrote it for one of the books I am writing, but it has since made its way into a blog post, and its message is pouring through anywhere I show up.

The thing is, we have this narrative in our world, and it tells us all the ways we are separate, disconnected as isolated parts. We then live life in disconnection: mind from body, self from nature. Humanity, as its whole, remains divided, continuing to weave stories based on falsities that further divide and perpetuate hate and harm.

The fact of the matter is, we live in a divided world; when, in truth, we as a biological web are interwoven.

No wonder we feel so ill.
No wonder our forests burn.
No wonder our waters fail to sustain life.

I've said it before, and I will say it a thousand more times. The mass of the problems facing our world today are not separate, isolated issues to be solved. Rather,

it is all the same damn festering root system.

A root system, one that has been plagued by stories of separation, of disconnection, and of isolation; of superiority and less-than.

These stories need to die out. Actually, more like... these stories are ready to die out. No, that's not it either.

These stories are already dying out.

As they do - as these narratives leave the neuronal and other cellular connections that hold them in our very own bodies - they need to be replaced by something better:

Narratives that resemble something far closer to the truth.
Narratives that continuously reach towards the light.
Narratives that honor harmony, and the light of all of life's expression.

This is our work here: Co-creating a brighter, more beautiful Planet Earth for all of life.

While that old, toxic root system and the entire dark forest dies out.

It is already happening.

Be with me as we amplify this dying out;
and, this co-creation of a brighter, more beautiful new.

New Blog Post: Embodiment is our Collective Path of Healing

In this post, learn about embodiment as our central body of work: Connecting you skillfully into self, and further into the whole of life on Planet Earth that leaves you able to move through it all with more skill and more grace. It is along The Embodied Path that we move through the healing and light-filled transformation that we are ready for. More than this, it is along this path that we become capable of showing up for this world outside of self (our families, our communities, our ecosystems) in ways that matter most.

New Blog Post: Invoking The Mountain

There is an aspect of the mountain that is Her ability to hold us all. As she grounds deep into the depths below, and as she rises up, up and up above it all. Meanwhile, we live here in the in-between. Sky above, Earth below. She spans it all, and we live here, being held between it all.

This is life, here. Living within it all.

There is another aspect of The Mountain that has to do with her beckoning, Her calling us on a journey upwards. Up, up, up to Her! An ascension journey: one that beckons us to leave our comfort in The Forest of our lives and to move with our will and our might upwards...

Hi! I'm Katie

I am writing to you today from 10,000 feet above sea level, after deciding to spend a good chunk of this month up high in the big mountains of Colorado! Summitting peak after peak.Running through one forest after the next.Dipping my fingers in all the wild crystal ice creeks.Taking time to rest beside alpine lakes. I have returned from running mountains to spend a few days of focused work. I have a book I am writing, plus I continue to put out opportunities to join me in conscious connection:...

Soul Fire It is the phrase that holds my attention as we move through this powerful time - one that is ripe with opportunity to lean into the spaces that matter most to you; To step off of the wheel that guides us all in a slumber; To step into a life of conscious co-creation, with your head on your shoulders and your heart and soul guiding you to where you best be going. With this, I find myself in the fires of creation as I continue to bring you more ways to step into this potent space....

I know it down into my bones that there is a brighter, more beautiful path through this life, and the choices that...
