In this episode of Nine Keys, Narinder slips into her storytelling magic to share the true tale of how Seven Moon Cove came to be.Seven Moon Cove is an intimate space for fringe folk, makers, new-world dreamers, death workers, and grief walkers, (aka the cool kids) to explore together for seven moon cycles and to meet up in the mystic's sandbox. Narinder facilitates play spaces full of secret doors and treasure boxes designed by the Great Mother. Playfulness, creative dreamscapes, flirting with whimsy, and leaning into the journey Great Ma has for us - are all access points to inspiration, fortification, LIFE, healing, groundedness, and ease. Playfulness with the divine is a big way to reclaim ourselves from a system that is hell-bent on keeping us bogged down with personal ambition, stress, and scary uncertainty. Run through a meadow of daydreams (while giving the middle finger to the gross systems, as we do) and meet Narinder in Seven Moon Cove.
