2024 : INSIGHTS for the year ahead
Welcome to 2024.
On New Years Eve I was invited to share the Oracle Board technology with a small group of friends here at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. We dove into the energies of the year ahead and it felt relevant to offer what came through our community reading with you here.
Thank you to every one who shared their insights and transmissions this evening and to Isis Indriya, founder of the Academy of Oracle Arts, who brought the Oracle Divination Board technology earth-side.

There were 3 questions that came through our group:
How can we clear our vessels to show up in benevolent leadership in this time of change?
How can we foster optimal conditions to create symbiosis between our relations in the same way that is seen in well functioning ecosystem?
How can we offer the finest service to our communities while honouring our individual roles?
A lot of information came through. I almost sent this solely as an email, and realized it would be best to have it saved somewhere to be able to refer back to throughout the year. Please bookmark this page and save it for future reference!

This year we are being asked to honour who we are as individuals. Our lives have each been a series of initiations that if we observe, hold the keys to our role within the collective (through which we can be most of service) will become very clear.
Now is the time to implement the lessons of the initiations we have undergone individually; acknowledge where youโve come from and take an inventory for what life has presented you with.
The more clearly we can see ourselves the more clearly others can see us too, and the nourishment between relations can flow with greater ease.
๐ฃ
Be patient.
Much of our collective structures are still being dismantled and transformed. We cannot get on with building a โnew earthโ until the slate is cleared and a strong foundation has been rebuilt.
Slow down.
It is important not to skip steps.
This is a year to be very methodical. Take stock of the most necessary steps, focus on those, and implement them WELL.
We must be disciplined with how we are expressing to ourselves and how we are directing our energy.
Simplify things.
Even though you may have a lot of ideas and inspiration, this year we are called to get comfortable with WHAT IS HERE; tend to what has been set in motion already before moving on to the next step.
๐ฃ
We may feel restriction.
But this is actually for our benefit.
When it comes to tapping into mutually beneficial relationships, we donโt need to look as far as we may think. Mutually symbiotic relationships are closer than we imagine.
Again: the more you see yourself, the more others see you.
journal / reflection prompts ๐
-Based on the initiations youโve experienced in the past, what do you see your role being within the collective?
-What are practical steps you can take to embody this more?
-Where do you feel expanded in life?
-Where do you feel contracted and restricted?
-Is there a possibility that within these restrictions an opportunity might lie that is opening doors with the relationships in your life? What does this look like?
๐ฃ
2024 is a year of deep tending. Let yourself slow down in a new way.
What happens when you give yourself time to be more of yourself?
Not who you were.
But who you are now.
๐ฃ
We called to slow down because the general collective cosmic energy is HOT. There is a lot of information and energy to navigate. There are many fires burning.
For us to be clear leaders and pillars in our communities we need to anchor down and be very discerning about what information to take in.
Tend to the simple ways of life.
Tend to your closest relationships, because of those arenโt good than the fabric of all your other relations will be frayed.
At this stage, it is our sacred responsibility to prioritize connection with others committed to this level of tending.
๐ฃ
This is the second community reading in the last few months where this next theme has emergedโฆ
If you are going to honour any moment on the wheel of the year, there is a strong suggestion to commit to honouring the Summer Solstice:
Part of our journey of returning to our roots as earthy beings is to work with the cycles of the seasons. These transcend all cosmologies and religions; it doesnโt matter what your beliefs are, your life will be impacted by the cycle of the sun and the balance of light (hello seasons).
Honouring this procession of light helps us to keep our vessels clear and in symbiotic relationships with the earth.
The more we are in a symbiotic relationships with the earth the more right relations will come into our lives.
Honouring the solstices will help to reconnect the ancient threads of time and wisdom that have become a bit frazzled.
๐ The Obstacle of 2024
Our obstacles are our protection.
The biggest collective obstacle right now is staying grounded as we navigate massive change. Change is by nature unstable, uncertain, and unpredictable.
We must learn to adapt as we go and expect the unexpected.
Because the fabric of society is undergoing incredible transformation, there are many clashing energies at play. This is the reality of being at the pivot point.
The challenge may be to stay focused and not get distracted by information overload and conflicting energies. Avoid getting sucked into unnecessary conflict.
Plant Ally to Balance the energy of the Obstacle
Sage: If you can find it ethically sourced. Otherwise some menthol containing plant like peppermint or camphor to soothe and cool the mind during times of overwhelm, conflict and overstimulation.
๐ The Gift of 2024
With discipline and commitment we become refined and mature. This year we are rewarded when we focus on working wisely instead of blindly working hard.
When you tune into the above questions (in bold), the work ahead is clear.
We know what we have to do.
This year is about being steady and consistent.
One of the blessings about staying focused on what our work truly is, is that when we focus on what is truly OURS TO DO, it opens a new perspective on work.
As our perspective on work shifts, a more beautiful expression of โworkโ may emerge.
There is no rush.
Instead of overcompensating and over extending, when everyone honestly knows themselves and takes care of their piece without over doing it, than everyone can also take care of their piece.
Spaciousness emerges.
With enough space for everyone expand into their full potential.
Reciprocity can flourish.
๐ The Way Forward: Be Guided by the Wisdom of Water
This year we are invited to trace our way through the waters of our bodies, the waters of the lands, and primordial waters of the heavens, and reconnect with our original blueprint.
We all come from the water. It holds innocence and beauty. When we trace with our consciousness back through all the layers of what has been keeping us from truly being in our essence, that remembrance of our place in the web crystallizes.
Work with the waters, they are here to help keep us clear.
Remember that you are the water, we are water.
As such we must forever learn how to be better stewards of the water, and support other in this remembrance.
This year we are called to ever more devotion in keeping the waters clear regardless of the sacrifice needed.
Stay in service to purifying the waters for the future generations.
๐ A message from the Ancestors
Nourish yourselves and trust that your friends have your back,
Within all of our lineages there is cellular memory of extreme challenge. All of our ancestors are survivors. Yet some how we have all made it.
Even if you feel under-resourced, everything in taken care of.
Life is not about to get cushier. It is time to shift our perceptions around comfort and luxury:
Who do your beliefs serve?
This is key to not getting caught in the static of what is going on.
Donโt take anything too seriously.
๐ Keys for 2024
Stay focused.
Keep it moving.
Keep taking steps forward.
Keep letting go.
Be strategic.
Do not rush: the future is inevitably on its way.
๐ Where we find our strength
In 2024 we find our strength in the unknown, in the liminal, and in the spaces in between.
We are reminded to stay connected to the bigger picture.
We must find ways to remind ourselves that we are not in service to self but in service to a collective evolution.
What helps remember is working with the seasonal cycles of the earth: the solstices and the equinoxes. Tracking the sun helps us stay connected and remember when we forget.
๐ What we may have forgotten
A clear path emerges from internal clarity.
In times of external chaos, tend to the inner garden first.
