"Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address
Greetings to the Natural World
The People
Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each other and all living things. So now, we bring our minds together as one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as people. Now our minds are one.
The Earth Mother
We are all thankful to our Mother, the Earth, for she gives us all that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her. It gives us joy that she continues to care for us as she has from the beginning of time. To our mother, we send greetings and thanks. Now our minds are one...
The Creator
Now we turn our thoughts to the Creator, or Great Spirit, and send greetings and thanks for all the gifts of Creation. Everything we need to live a good life is here on this Mother Earth. For all the love that is still around us, we gather our minds together as one and send our choicest words of greetings and thanks to the Creator. Now our minds are one..."

Greetings everyone!!
 I write with immense gratitude in my heart for each and every one of you. I am also grateful that the spirit of this holiday, of Thanksgiving, has experienced an evolution of sorts. I appreciate the shift to focusing on gratitude and of also honoring the history of the first nations peoples of the Americas, my beloved lineage. To honor them, I have created a diverse Spotify playlist of traditional and contemporary songs by first nations peoples from across the Americas (North, Central and South) and provided a link to the full Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address excerpted above. This is the address I will read on Thursday.
 For those of you that attended one of the Dancing for Hope & Healing workshops (or the Sunday morning Hope Nia class in Seattle), thank you for the donations we collected and made to both Amazon Watch (for Brazil) and Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen (for the Bahamas). My husband and I will be continuing to support both of these organizations with our personal donations.
Above right is a photo collage of our Dancing for Hope & Healing ArcanaDance workshop in Seattle. Huge heart thanks to all those who came to shine their own light of hope and to Lisa Hirotani White and Tai Velasquez for co-creating such a sacred experience. I didn't know that the day after the workshop I would be faced with news that truly knocked me down and yet I was filled with the hope from our workshop - it became medicine that carried and sustained me for weeks to come. Tai is also now a taking individual appointments for Vibrational Sound Therapy. I had a session with her before I left Seattle in September and it was incredible. My nervous system felt like it was reset and I can't wait to go back and have another appointment with Tai.
As many of you know, the past two and half a months have been particularly challenging for me on a personal level. As it has been for so many of you that have shared your experiences with me. I hear you. I see you. I feel you. I am with you in solidarity. Lately, a confluence of things have drawn me inward. I have put a pause on a number of projects (including delaying the launch of the ArcanaDance Shadow e-course...no worries, it is coming!) and am spending more time reflecting on where I am and how I want to contribute and serve in my years ahead. I turned 44 in October and have had several people I love dearly go through life-altering experiences. I just can't bring myself to proceed with "business as usual." I am looking closely at my values, beliefs, and intentions and how they reflect (or don't) the work that I do. I sincerely want all that I do and share to be meaningful, supportive, accessible, and in many ways practical for anyones evolutionary path. I will be carrying this inquiry with me through the winter months.
 On my birthday I chose the Death card in a reading I did for myself. The card is called "Successive Transformation" in Chris-Anne Donnelly's Sacred Creators Oracle. I LOVE the change in language from Death to "Successive Transformation." I love the idea of feeling empowered to guide my personal transformation and evolution in successive ways and choosing the size, momentum, direction, and depth of each curve in the spiral. Uninterrupted, fluid, interconnected, sequential, intentional and building the myth of my life. I have been working with this card for nearly two months and will be sharing my learnings with you in 2020. I am grateful to Chris-Anne for influencing a new perspective (for me) about Death. It's so good!

 If you'd like to hear more about my journey with tarot and... some other meandering thoughts, feel free to listen to my podcast conversation with our dear Michelle Wong, creator of the Sacred Emergence podcast. Michelle also interviewed several other of my most favorite people in the world, including Jill Pagano and Susan Tate . I love Michelle's podcasts - she is such an easy, warm, and engaging conversationalist. She knows how much I'd rather stick my hand in a light socket than be on a podcast. HA! But she made me feel so at ease - so much so that I forgot we were recording. Enjoy our conversation and the many others she's done since the launch of Sacred Emergence.
There's so much to share in this newsletter but mostly I wanted to express my gratitude to each of you, for being part of my life and life's journey and for the ways you've lit up my world <3. Thank you.
Below you will find announcements about classes and workshops in Orange County CA, Seattle WA, Yucca Valley (near Joshua Tree), and an online offering.

Nia in Irvine and Newport Beach, CA
If you are in Southern California, I am teaching this week on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30. This week, I am teaching the Nia routine, Soul, choreographed by my beloved Nia trainer, Britta Von Tagen. The music is influenced by Native American Sounds and the routine has deep meaning for Britta, a narrative she shares in this 26 minute video. I absolutely love this routine and thank Marilyn Tradewell for asking me to teach it this month.
BONUS: I am also one of 8 teachers teaching at the Thanksgiving morning Gratitude Jam in San Diego. Flyers below.

NEW DATE in 2020 for The Dance of Presence: Embodying Wholeness with Tarot & Movement! Mark Your Calendar!
The Dance of Presence: Embodying Wholeness with Tarot & Movement - in Irvine, CA
 During this ArcanaDance™ workshop we will explore, through tarot and movement, how to cultivate, strengthen and deepen our experience of presence in mind, body, heart and spirit.
Presence is a state of generosity. It is the practice of being in the moment and giving our full attention to whatever it is we are experiencing. When we are present we are saying to life, “I am here. I ready for anything.” With our arms, heart, mind and senses wide open, we bring to the here and now our awareness, attention, awe, allowing, acceptance, and appreciation.
In the tarot, the World card is the culmination of living fully and deeply, amidst an understanding of the tension between life’s limitations and potentials. As the archetype for wholeness, the World ask that we see the value, beauty, power and possibility in all of our life experiences and interactions. The World says to us, “be present with your body, breath, sensations, pain, pleasure, grief, joy, sadness, conflict, your loved ones, your adversaries, your dreams…all of these aspects contribute to the wholeness and fullness of life.”
Join us for this exploration of presence guided by the framework of the archetype of wholeness, the World.
The Dance of Presence: Embodying Wholeness with Tarot & Movement
Date: Sunday, January 26, 2020
Time: 1PM – 3:30PM
Location: SoulPhysio Wellness, 17805 Sky Park Circle Suite F, Irvine, CA 92614
Cost: $40 in advance/$50 at the door

Special Online Course
 ArcanaDance Presents: Mothering & Bringing Forth, a Self-Guided Online Course Using Imagery, Tarot, Movement, Music & Ritual
A couple of months ago I unexpectedly created a self-guided online course titled Mothering and Bringing Forth. The course is designed to evoke the archetype of the mother and is for any woman who has experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, or has hopes to birth someone/something into being.
All of the materials in the course were crafted using my ArcanaDance techniques (archetype, tarot, imagery, guided movement and music) and was inspired by a recommendation Dr. Jean Houston made for any woman wrestling with her own journey to motherhood, mothering, or bringing forth something creatively. It includes 3 hours of audio instructions and 3 hours of music playlists.
This self-guided course helped me to transform deeply-held pain and sorrow around infertility, lost pregnancies, and my own path to identifying what it means to mother and "bring forth" life. I have much greater clarity about what I am bringing forth in the world and know I can lean into the support of the archetypal mother for the qualities I need to bring it forth. The course was equally powerful and transformative for the women who experienced the pilot with me last month. If you are or know of any women in your life who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, or hold hope to bring someone/something forth into the world, please let them know about this course.
Mothering & Bringing Forth is offered as a self-paced online course, intended to be completed in a 3-4 day window with about 2-3 hours set aside each day. I truly want it to be accessible to as many women as possible. There are range of payment options.
Please contact me via email at jennifer@jenniferluceroearle.com if you are interested in receiving the course materials or want to gift the experience to a woman in your life.

My schedule for sessions is rapidly filling up but I do have a just a couple of time-slots open between November 29 - December 10 and one appointment on December 16. If you miss this window no worries, sessions begin again on January 8, 2020. I am already booking into early February.

Tarot Consultation Packages
There are several tarot packages to choose from, including options for multiple one hour to two hour sessions throughout a one year window.
Long-term One-on-One Sessions
 I have been so fortunate to serve as a guide/coach for several of you. I am only able to work with a small number of long-term "coaching" clients per year. I will have 3 spots opening in 2020. All sessions are held via video and are recorded. This long-term commitment will resonate with you if you are working towards self-healing, self-empowerment, intuitive leadership or greater somatic/embodiment or development. If this is something you are interested in, email me and I can schedule a short call with you where we can co-assess if we are a good fit for one another. Learn more about coaching here.

 I have a small stack of printed gift certificates. If you'd like to give the gift of a tarot reading to someone in your life, follow these steps:
