Saturday Oct 31, 2020
This is 15 minutes of relaxed visualization.
Stella Starwalker and her wolf, Neon, journey through the star scape. They drink from the Milky Way, see Pleiades and other storied constellations, and rest by The Tree of Life. What does a star wolf dream of when he finally sleeps? Star bunnies, of course.
Be well, Darlings.
