TISHREI: When Time Becomes an Altar
Beginning again by remembering what time is for. There are moments when a new season arrives and we assume the most important thing is to decide what we will do next.

Tishrei: Let Us Partake
There are moments when you can feel a season changing before you can explain why. Something in you knows that you are standing at a threshold. Excitement and terror hold hands.

The Journey to El-Nahara: It’s Not a Brand — It’s a Living Movement
How did we arrive here — to this ever-expanding work, this luminous community we hold so dear? I say we and not I, because none of this would exist without Chris, my amazing husband — his faith, often stronger than mine, his steady covering, and his unshakable belief in what God has called us to build together. My journey with anointing oils began back in 2008. It has been a path of discovery and deep learning — an unfolding relationship with the Spirit through the language o
