“Wings and Roots.

We need both.

Becoming whole involves reconciling these opposing forces and coming full circle.

The “Magical Flight” stage of The Hero’s Journey is when the hero/heroine returns home from their adventure to share with community the treasures gained along the way. This crucial step signifies that true transformation has occurred.

Our personal journey is never only about us. Once you have been liberated from your own cage, the first thing your heart wants to do is to share the keys.”

Inner Travel Guide Shannon Nicole Bobo of Laguna Beach CA has been staying on Whidbey for over 6 months at her cousin’s vineyard seeking out future retreat spots and hibernating from COVID madness.  Her explorations included a visit to the Sculpture Forest and produced this abstracted view of Greg Neal’s Attacking Eagle wing.

Thank you, Shannon and Greg!
