Lessons from the Road: From Mountain to Desert, A Spirit-Walk Between Worlds
“A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary… a constant state of transition.”
— Gloria Anzaldúa
Lake Tahoe, Da’oh’aga—Cave Rock
I just returned to Southern California from Lake Tahoe, my spirit still echoing with mountain winds and medicine songs.
For the several months, I’ve been immersed in the sacred work of building the foundation for a nonprofit devoted to Washoe spirituality—an offering rooted in land, story, and ancestral wisdom. It’s a quiet fire behind the scenes, working to uplift and support Northern Native American communities with grace, humility, and deep respect.
This work teaches me every day how to listen. How to walk gently. How to honor a path that is not mine to lead, but one I’ve been invited to support.
As a woman born in California, carrying Mexican lineage and Indigenous roots, I often find myself living between spaces—cultural, spiritual, geographical. I walk in many worlds, carrying medicine that does not always have a singular home. Weaving, bridging, living a prayer. This in-between is where I’ve learned to pray with both feet on the ground and my heart wide open.
Holding space is powerful. It is also, at times, isolating. When we create space for others to heal, we also confront the quiet corners of our own longing—for connection, for rest, for a place to fully land; a place to be.
And yet, in these spaces, Spirit moves. I carry prayers for unity, for healing, for a remembering of who we truly are. Through ceremonial retreats and online sessions, Reiki classes, yoga and breathwork;I offer what I can—tools, wisdom, presence—sacredness of being—for those ready to meet themselves in a deeper way.
The road teaches me that service is not always loud or visible. It is often the soft work of showing up, listening, and letting the land guide the next step.
With love from the in-between,
Badger Moon Woman
