The Healing Tree: Creating A Vision of Your Sacred Task

By Vanessa Timmons

As the days begin to lengthen I am reminded that the tides have turned and that the inward journey of winter gives way to a season of emergence and returning light. Spring is a birthing season.

To birth is to emerge, to call forth and bring into being something not yet seen. It takes energy, intention, and nurturing, to give birth to the new. It is big work, a sacred task, and the calling of everywoman to give birth to the vibrant and powerful wise woman that lies within each of us.

Spring is a wonderful time of year to do intentional visioning. Take a moment in your journal to write about the vision you have for your life. Here are some writing prompts and journaling activities for the season.

Spring Journaling Activities:

• Write a poem to honor a wise woman in your life
• Make of list so heroines that you admire
• Take a nature walk and note in your journal all the harbingers of spring in your area
• Make a collage that illustrates the people, places, and things that you are calling into your life

Writing Prompts; answer the following questions in your journal:

• What am I calling into my life?
• What am I giving birth to?
• What is my sacred task?
• How am I honoring the best vision of myself?
• What are my actions and behaviors supporting?
• What is your passion?
• What is emerging from within you?
