Spring is here — and what a potent time it is.

Can you feel it?

The scent in the air has changed.

I love hearing the birds again, walking barefoot, wearing softer, thinner dresses that tickle my skin as I move. I’ve been watching the giant pink-petaled magnolias open — as they always do around this time — signaling that my birthday is near.

Clearly, a spring-born babe over here. This season makes my heart dance.

I love the soft, vulnerable, yet fiery and erotic energy that it evokes.

I can feel the Earth’s aliveness and vitality,

yearning and unfurling —

opening to kiss her beloved Sun.

We’ve just transitioned from the dreamy, watery tenderness of Pisces into bold, lightning, action-oriented Aries — welcoming the astrological New Year. It can feel exhilarating, and also a little shaky in the shift from water to fire —from liminal dreaming to wide awake.

All the more reason to root down into intentional mornings, grounded nature hikes, proper hydration, deep breaths, warm baths, and quiet moments of presence and gratitude.

We can’t control what’s happening in the outer world, but we can choose how we meet it.

We are in the season of the Maiden.

The Maiden archetype often gets a bad rap. So many of us are encouraged to “evolve” from Maiden to Mother, and yes, there are times when we must outgrow our immaturity and embody more of our elder, wise woman wisdom. No question here.

But the Maiden is sacred.

She has her rightful place on the wheel:

Maiden (Spring), Mother (Summer), Queen/Sorceress (Autumn), Crone (Winter).

The Maiden carries powerful medicine for us.

She brings innocence and excitement because she’s just emerged from the darkness.Like Persephone returning from the underworld, her joy is born from rebirth. She reminds us of renewal, of possibility, of the beauty of beginning again.

What is your relationship with the maiden?

Does she rule your life or has she been buried and shamed?

How do you wish to honor the maiden within you this season?

Last year, I created and facilitated five new courses — YIN (Winter), Be Yours (Valentine’s Day), UNFURL (Spring), ROSEWATER (Summer), and VELVET (Autumn). Each one was deep, rich, and transformational — guiding women into a more embodied relationship with the seasons, the elements, and the ways these natural cycles mirror their own inner lives.

Each course held 20–30 women of all ages, from all corners of the world. Week after week, we gathered in sacred space — practicing, remembering, and spiraling together through each threshold aligned with the unique themes of the course.

Holding these containers taught me so much — about devotion, creativity, feminine leadership, and the quiet power of consistent presence and sisterhood. I witnessed women soften, open, release, reclaim, and remember themselves in the most tender and powerful ways. It affirmed my belief that when women gather with intention, healing happens and magic unfolds. It’s been one of the greatest honors of my life to guide these journeys and tend to the sacred spaces where this kind of transformation can occur.

This year, I’ve been called to go inward — and deeper — with fewer people. My focus has been on private 1-on-1 mentorships with women who are ready to walk the path of remembrance and reawaken their feminine wisdom with devotion and courage.

If you feel the call to journey together, you're welcome to book a discovery call so we can explore what’s possible. I have more options now for how this container can look.

As we enter this new season, I feel the creative stirrings once again… Something new is blossoming — and I can’t wait to share it with you in the coming weeks.

I’ve been in a big life transition — one that’s polishing me like a diamond.

Another move across state lines and a closing with a great, soulmate-kind of love. I have been integrating eight potent years of deep esoteric study and a series of initiations that has rerouted my entire operating system, carving new pathways within my soul. If I had to name this most recent chapter in three words it would be integrity, alignment and essence.

I’m learning what it truly means to build a foundation within myself.

To listen — really listen — and trust my intuition.

To be fiercely discerning and protective of my energy.

To alchemize my love for others into fuel for my own creativity.

To understand my true desires, and where they come from.

To stop chasing or avoiding, and instead, meet life in equanimity.

To keep my heart open, even while it bleeds.

To honor and follow my deep inner knowing.

To know, deep down, what is truly mine to do and experience in this lifetime.

... and of course many many others.

When I left Santa Fe, I let go of about 80% of my belongings. It felt like shedding a skin — and now, I feel like a newborn… raw and tender, but also clear and strong.

I can feel a maturation of my voice as an ambassador of the feminine spirit —

a ripening and refinement of my craft, as I become more anchored in essence and truth, wielding the sword of discernment with reverence and devotion to the Sacred Rose.

Whatever comes next — I welcome it with open arms and an open heart.

I’ll be making art and harvesting wisdom from it either way— the pain and the beauty.

This is what we humans do in times like these.

I hope to meet you somewhere along the way.

With all my love,

Rachel Rossitto
