"The creative path is often a circuitous route that can be mapped only in hindsight. It requires faith in the process itself if we are to continue."

     Hi!  My name is Sarah Felker Soltow. I am a professional educator, teacher of energy modalities, and passionate artist.  My spiritual journey took a serious turn around the turn of the new century.... 2001.

      About that time, I encounted the power of dreams that offered me guidance. In one dream, I was painting dragonflies on pieces of slate... so I did that. In another dream, I saw the difficult issues of my childhood as squirmy creatures dwelling in my basement... so I set about to heal them. I studied, explored, and embraced the Divine Feminine. I worked through anger issues; I found Reiki and began to practice. I learned how to swim and how to play the guitar. I continued to push the boundaries of whatever limitations I felt bound by. 

     Now, more than 20 years later, my husband and I live on 15 acres of wooded land near Richmond, VA. As we spend our days and months restoring the land, I find healing resonance with all that we do. We cleared the old trash dump-by-the-creek, and it has become the Heart Garden. We dug the Sacral Pond out of a small mucked-up puddle. One area is called the Dancing Field, and I love to spread my wings there. That land speaks to me and I respond. The land heals, and so do I.

     The abundance of the land surprises me with sweetgrass, blackberries, milkweed, acorns, and the presence of an indigenous and endangered Long-Leaf Pine tree. From her abundance, I create pine needle baskets as an incredibly grounding and personally fulfilling art form.

     The creative spiritual path has called to me since I was a child and was buried within for a long time. Now, as an Elder, I embrace it as fully, as openly, and as joyfully as I am able. I do so knowing that there is always more... more fullness and joy to be experienced on the path to one's true self. The spiritual path is creative; the creative path is spiritual. And so it is... and so it has always been.
