In every relationship, both partners often crave connection. However, an invisible barrier frequently drives a wedge between them. This...

THE PORTAL ON THE LAND There was an energy portal on this property. One day when we’d first moved in, the three of us, my son included, had a special fire at his fire pit in the center of this big earthly bowl of the property. The entire mountain-top property had a big dip in the center, something that this ecologist ex-partner of mine had said was very unique and the reason he’d bought the house and acreage.  As we were sitting at his fire site, pretty much exactly in the ce

The home was on top of a mountain and he owned seven acres of property. Well, the bank owned it, but I had no rights to the property, of course. I was just the girlfriend that had moved in. I had no contract.  Women over time have made agreements - both spoken and not, written and not, legal and not - both for love and in exchange for the resources that they and their children have needed.   Think about it. In the last three generations of your family, what were the women’s r

Alone in a house for the winter holidays on top of a mountain in rural Marshall, North Carolina, I sat at my computer and opened my...

"It seems like when I don't have anything left, that's when someone else wants something from me." A woman said this to me last week at a...

Last year at this time, I lived beside this overflow at the bottom of the lake and heard this continuous waterfall all of the time. A few months prior to this, a local male elder died who I had always wished I'd known better. When Keith died, I had just gotten back in touch with the circle he was affiliated with and so it was a bit unique that I even knew that he had died. And then, even more unique was that I was welcomed to come to his four day fire and as I sat with his pa

When you’re tired of the nine-to-five, and you have a dream of working for yourself, the go-to strategy is often to become a “coach” in...

"Exchanges" is a new creative project by Sarah Poet. It's a compilation of vignettes about various dynamics of energy exchange, collected through experience, for the reader to contemplate. 1) What was the exchange? 2) What resources - monetary & non-monetary- were involved? 3) What was spoken and what was unspoken about the exchange agreement? I am fascinated by the topic of human exchanges. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. When I’d moved in with D, his bed wa

You're ready to leap. You can't stand the constriction of the status quo anymore, and you've got something in you that says, "I'm here to...

A case study of what embodied couples therapy looks like, and how it can show you so much more than standard communication.

In this Together We Seek podcast episode, host JJ DiGeronimo interviews Sarah Poet about her insights on earth grids, feminine energy,...

I think more and more, women are keen to know when a situation is primarily transactional, and we’re opting out of it. A few years ago I...

Last week, I attracted something to me through a wound I still carried. It was a fascinating experience and the insight came quickly, which I’m grateful for.  While I knew I still had residual pain about the topic, I could only see that I’d attracted through that pain when on the other side of it.  And after I’d chosen differently.  It’s like in relationships when we attract the same thing to ourselves, over and over, as an opportunity to work out what truly exists within us.

I am an earth-mystic.  Soil and water are my magic potions. My own body and that of the mountains are made of the same stuff. I see how rivers flow multidimensional waters of plasma and blood, of crystalline potential.

On my journey as a woman the past decade or so, I was noticing a steady depletion occurring in my energy specifically in relationships...

One day last year, I found myself in a circle of people (a literal circle, seated on the ground) which unfortunately included a man who I...

AND SEE WHAT GROWS IN ITS PLACE. A therapist friend of mine let me know this week that a major theme she’s currently noticing in her clients is grief. I intuitively responded, “Everyone is grieving what we thought life would be like, what we didn’t manifest.” She tilted her head to the side to consider this, followed by, “Well, that’s interesting, because the second most common theme is consumption.” (Healing consumption is the first code in Heartland .
