Total Lunar Eclipse images
On the night of December 20th, a group of 12 inspired, dedicated, and celebratory men and women gathered at my home near the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School in Southern Arizona to hold vigil for the total Lunar Eclipse occurring just hours before the December Solstice.

Stephanie Forest presenting APDM
Now, here in this moment,
