This past August I moved Tulku and I to the mountains of Colorado. It all occurred very suddenly and unexpectedly—and looking back— I believe what really happened was that I was swept up by a divine tornado and very gently and precisely dropped.
I landed in a beautiful new home in a magical place I call Rainbow Mountain. Aside from receiving the welcome of a rainbow arching over the sky soon after I arrived, the name is because under my feet I imagine the earth is filled with gold and fluorite and stones of every color. I can feel those colors rising up through me, filling me with inspiration and juice.
Looking out over the 9,000 foot prairies from here, the surrounding mountains look like dragons. I figure that’s because they need to guard the many treasures here. Tulku is decidedly in the right place and in very, very good company.
The people I have met in nearby Boulder are warm and open and curious about what I do. They seem to love Tulku and everything it stands for. They also tend to recognize its unique power and authenticity pretty immediately, which is particularly delicious for me.
This weekend, I am doing a trunk show at a wonderful iconic bead place in town, called Nomad Beads. The hosts are incredibly generous in wanting me to have success. I have a new coach and friend who asked me what I want to achieve with Tulku this month— and aside from the ever-present need for sales— I found myself answering that I want to build community.
So here it goes, the statement of my intention, out loud and shared with the world—
I want to connect with like- minded people and introduce Tulku to this community.
I want to work and create and adventure with my Tribe.
I want to invite people over to my house to work with dreams.
I want to share the medicine of Tulku and my favorite part— which is going deep—matching a person to their amulet.
I want to journey together to the symbols and archetypes that are alive for each of us— the special ones that invite us to use them for support.
To align more deeply with this intention, last night I decided to work on an image for my Tulku Oracle deck (work-in-progress). I wanted the card I worked on to be based on an amulet that relates to the energy of building community. What came to mind was Honey Bee. This is one of my favorite newer amulets as is it is not only beautiful and masterfully carved by Rajendra, but what it represents is profound. Among other things, the huge creative force which is the work of Honey Bee, depends completely on the interconnectedness between the bees and their environment.
As I begin to put down roots in a new landscape and I learn about this place, I am reminded by Honey Bee of the importance of looking to who and what’s around me to help me create the honey that I want to share with the world.
I am excited to open up this month with the trunk show at Nomad, and to start to build my local community. Something tells me there are a lot of flowers out there for me to discover. If you’re in the area, please come say hi!
