Trust as an Ally: September News from Eva Tree & Tree Star Health


Dear Reader,

The turning of the season is here and I hope this note finds you well in your heart. Autumn is asking us to slow down and begin to crystallize our intentions and harvest the gifts given from our gardens.

Coming home from the coast, where I launched both of my children into their first year of university, means a return to the proverbial empty nest. This feels extremely tender and also potent terrain, and I’m thinking of past TSH themes, where together we have traversed liminal thresholds and explored the void space as a potential for infinite becoming.

As I tackle cleaning their rooms, I am struck by the importance of trust as an essential ingredient to my day, and one I use again and again as worry assails me around them being on their own. Are they eating? Are they feeling grounded and safe? My Mama heart feels tender knowing they are so far away, but when I trust myself, I am more able to trust them and their own intelligence and capacity. Then I feel trust becoming an Ally to transform worry into discernment, gratitude and action.

I am using Shamanic tracking to show me my worry patterns quickly, before they become chaotic and dense energy, ‘hucha’ storms, and when I consciously call in trust, I come back to the simple Ayni of Breath and alignment.

Trust as a Pathway to the Stars and Back

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time


When my daughter called in tears after missing one of her first lectures, I spiraled into that worry and quickly realized how heavy it felt to doubt her ability and my own, and how quickly the monkey mind was happy to assume the worst. With some deep breaths, I chose to shower her in love and to commit to working with my own stuff on the topic of school, success, etc. By the following day, I felt so much lighter for taking accountability for my own doubts and alchemizing them into a bigger essence of trust.

I was super delighted when, the next afternoon, my daughter called again with excitement and newfound confidence as she shared how she had strategized and moved forward from her setback.

Trust is not a bypass mechanism, but rather a way we can pendulate between risk/growth and trust in ourselves, to even ask the right question or take the next step before us. In this sense, Trust becomes a bridge to activating our will and discernment in knowing our No and knowing our yes in life.

My teacher Maestro Puma says, ‘trust yourself first and last,’ and I know how powerful this practice is when we truly endeavor to work with it daily.


Trust

Here is a Trust Song/Mantra born of this practice. I invite you to place a hand on your heart and read or sing it out loud. Notice whatever may arise in your body.

What does the energy feel, look and taste like?

Trust ~ Eva Tree

I trust my life and where I’m going.
I trust my heart and what I’m knowing.
I trust my path, I trust my healing,
I trust my bones, I trust my feeling.

I trust myself I trust my worth
I trust my life I trust my birth
I trust the mountains, sky and sea
I trust the love inside of me

I trust my yes, I trust my no
I trust my gut to tell me so.
I trust my mind I am aware
I live in service I offer prayer

I trust my voice my song to sing
I trust my hands I trust my wing
I trust my mind I trust my learning
I trust my passion I trust my yearning

I trust my body and how she is feeling
I trust my life and how I’m healing
I trust my life and how I’m living
I trust my hands and how I’m giving

I trust the bear, I trust the birds
I trust my song I trust my words
I trust myself I trust my worth
I trust my heart I trust my birth


Trust as a Pathway to Healing

Learning to trust ourselves again after a big loss, disappointment or health crisis is one of the key components of reclaiming our power and the ability to heal. So many of us have become deeply destabilized due to shock and trauma and may have lost our ability to trust ourselves.

If this feels true for you, please reach out, as there are many ways I can support you to re-strengthen your energetic field so that you can return to the buoyancy of trust and self-healing. Together we may explore Nature as a pathway to trust, Soul loss, and how we can come into an active process of Soul recovery.

Activating and waking up trust as an ally in your life doesn’t mean bypassing your sorrow or fear, but rather amplifying your own somatic awareness and energetic capability for discernment as you move forward with your choices.

Building trust that had been broken due to my own childhood trauma has led me, step by step, to where I am today, and I’m grateful for the ways I continue to learn to dance with trust and risk as a bridge for growth.

As Puma says, when we trust ourselves first and last, we ask our body, we ask our awareness, and we ask those in our circle and community. We inquire all the way up to the stars, gather the information we need, and ultimately bring it back to ourselves and our own heart, where we affirm our trust to inform our life path choices.


The Stars Within Women’s Retreat

Trusting ourselves to the stars and back is what prompted an upcoming women’s retreat. There are still a few more seats, and you are warmly invited to this circle. We have extended the early-bird pricing to new participants.

This intimate women’s retreat invites you to reconnect with the sacred feminine through ceremony, embodiment practices, Andean cosmology, rest, and time on the land. Together we will explore ancestry, grace, ritual, grief, love, and the Chaska Runa—the Star Beings within and around us—as pathways of remembrance, empowerment and healing.

October 16–18, 2026​
​For-Rest Retreat, Salmo, BC

If you have not sat with me before, then please set up a pre-ceremony session here:

12-Day Women’s Plant Attunement

October 21–November 1 • Online

Continue the journey in a sacred 12-day container with daily connection and guidance, including three live ceremonies via Zoom.

Sending eternal blessings and great love to your heart.

Dear Reader, October finds us with the first scent of frost in the air, the turning leaves ablaze with colour, and an invitation to turn our gaze inward. During our recent Equinox gathering with the Mesa Munay Ayllu (family), we each called three things into our lives. One of mine was movement and dance! It never ceases to amaze me that when we open our hearts and ask Creator for guidance, we are given precisely what we need, often abundantly so. I am now three dances into a beautiful...

Soul Song & Remembrance : August 2026 Remembrance • Grief & Aliveness • Monthly Circle • Women's Retreat Dear Reader, White Flower Ceremony How are you faring in the intensity of these times? One practice I love, is to give myself the liminal time in the morning to put pen to paper and allow 15 minutes of creative free writing. Within this practice, I have fallen in love with a simple structure of Tanka poetry. The syllable flow is five, seven, five, seven, seven. This simple practice aims to...
