CYWY offers events that support conscious choices!

Aging to Saging

I’ve just begun a six‑week workshop with my friend and gifted “Sage,” Rosemary Lohndorf. The workshop uses the book, From Age-ing to Sage-ing, by Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Ronald Miller.

The timing feels perfect: each year, my birthday coincides with the 4th of July celebrations. This year, I turn 68, and the United States celebrates its 250th.

Both invite reflection, renewal, and possibility.

What is Sage-ing?

Sage-ing reframes aging as a sacred, intentional stage of life. Rather than seeing aging as decline, sage-ing invites us to become spiritual elders — people who consciously harvest the wisdom of our lived experience, share it generously, and step into a deeper sense of purpose.

Sage-ing widens us.

It widens our perspective, our compassion, and our ability to see beyond the moment into the larger patterns of life.

It encourages us to pause, reflect, and ask:

▪ What is the wisdom I carry now?
▪ And how might it serve?
What is the wisdom I carry now?
And how might it serve?

As the United States reaches its quarter‑millennium mark, it too stands at a threshold. A nation, like a person, can mature. It can reflect on its past, acknowledge its missteps, and choose a wiser, more compassionate path forward.

Sage-ing reminds us that growth is always possible — for individuals, communities, and countries.

For those in the US, as you celebrate the 4th, I invite you to step into a sage’s posture — grounded, hopeful, and willing to offer wisdom rather than fear, clarity rather than noise, compassion rather than division.

The future needs elders who are awake, intentional, and willing to guide with heart.


CYWY offers opportunities to explore “seeing” yourself — what you need, what choices are available, and how those choices can open pathways to transformation that support your growth.

The question for you right now is:

Which event is right for your next step?

Capricorn Full Moon 6.29.26

Accepting Reality - Dreaming a New Dream

Highlights from https://elejrnl.com?p=4293228

We are in a collective and personal transition.
A raw, vulnerable sense of change is in the air — we are no longer who we were, and not yet who we are becoming.

“We no longer are who we once were and have not yet become who we are growing and evolving into.”

Old identities and patterns are breaking down.
People‑pleasing, self‑abandonment, and over‑giving are being exposed so they can be released.

“The identity of the former sense of self no longer fits.”

Relationships and mirrors are revealing unconscious wounds. Interactions with others highlight patterns of self‑rejection and unworthiness.

Mental and emotional energy is heightened.
Fast, electric Gemini energy has stirred the mind, revealing communication patterns, internal dialogue, and duality.

Deep emotional messages are surfacing.
Recent lunar energies have asked us to communicate needs from the heart, feel vulnerability, and honor sensitivity.

Chiron’s shift signals a new healing focus.
Themes move from identity and self‑trust (Aries) to safety, stability, self‑worth, and embodiment (Taurus).

Wounds around desire, value, and receiving are activated. Even wish‑fulfillment moments have exposed deeper layers of self‑worth and rejection wounds.

Cancer season calls us home to emotional truth.
We’re asked to mother ourselves, tend to our hearts, and create internal structures that support emotional flow.

Capricorn full moon emphasizes responsibility, boundaries, and structure.
It highlights authority, discipline, and the need for grounded foundations that support long‑term growth.

Saturn and Neptune bring realism + vision.
We’re asked to balance dreams with practical steps, accept “no’s” as redirection, and trust divine timing.

Reparenting the inner child is essential. Meeting disappointment with compassion rather than shame is part of the healing path.

Outdated goals and structures are ready to be released.
Capricorn energy reveals what no longer supports our long‑term vision and what needs to be rebuilt.

Jupiter expands heart‑centered truth and authentic expression. As it moves into Leo, it encourages courage, visibility, and shining our unique light.

Karmic release fuels soul growth. Letting go becomes fertile soil for what’s next.

The full moon invites commitment to purpose, legacy, and authentic living. We are asked to build the life we truly want — with patience, devotion, and resilience.

Final message: You are the architect of your soul’s path.

“Let. Your. Life. Be. The. Dream. Come. True… You. The. Architect. Of. This. Soul. Map.”
