Thanks for submitting!

GRATEFUL for my voice & the right to use it. If you are, too, and you’re sick about the current state of affairs, this is for you.

I’d love to see impeachment or the current POTUS deemed unfit to lead. Neither of those things are here and now answers.

CONGRESS must pass a war powers resolution.

It is the only measure we have - in immediate terms - to exercise ANY real control over the war on Iran.

Yesterday I called 5 senators. Today I emailed 10.

It can be incredibly hard to know what to do, who to call, what to say in an email. Since I did the legwork for myself, I’m sharing it here for you.

IN MY BIO, you will find a link to a Google document I created. It gives a list of the 10 Republican senators who, based on voting records and voiced concerns, have the most prospect to support a war powers resolution.

It also includes my email (if you need inspiration or an example) and EASY INSTRUCTIONS for exactly how to email each of these 10 senators.

A resolution limiting unilateral decision-making must be brought to the floor again. It must be passed.

Presently, only one Republican senator has voted to limit Trump’s unilateral power. That is Senator Paul Rand. 👏🏻

We need to get through to 6 more.

If we want the United Ststes to curb the potential catastrophes that have been directly threatened - with intent - by a dangerous President, we must ask them to put more measures of control in place NOW.

This is NOT about political preference.
It is about constitutional integrity and authority.

👉🏻 READ the document now through the link in my bio.

👉🏻 Use the information there to contact the people who matter most right now.

👉🏻 Share it widely, and ask for support.

Things are unraveling. Let’s keep re-weaving, together.

With love,
Charity

Who are the persuadables? Why does it matter right now?

This is a dangerous & unprecedented time. I’m immensely frustrated with even some of the most powerful figures, simply regurgitating what we all already know into the ears and eyes of those who already know it.

What a waste.

That’s never going to get us anywhere.

We need Republican members of Congress to dig deep, reconsider their positions and exercise their power to limit Trump’s power.

His social media post on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 should be all any of us need to see. He threatened to annihilate an entire civilization.

He threatened genocide against Iran.

It’s beyond unstable. It was sickening, and we can never lay down our guard or let off the gas until this is under control.

Do I like the idea of the 25th amendment and impeachment?

Yes, I sure do.

Those aren’t fast enough, and those measures are too strong for any of the Republican representatives whose power matters right now, to get behind.

We need to ask for the most powerful measure of protection and change that is *WITHIN REACH*, because two weeks isn’t enough time to shoot the moon.

I’d love to be wrong.

Every single day I am going to do the ONE thing that I feel makes the fastest and most impactful difference in preventing the current administration from a catastrophic abusive power.

CALL THE PERSUADABLES: this is an essential concept right now. 100% of the effort toward change needs to be focused on people who might actually be able to listen, integrate, and shift for the greater good.

Scroll through above for more details on what I mean, why it matters, and exactly how I’m putting this into action right now.

Please join me, share this and keep the faith.

Charity

Our Lady of Knock: a famous apparition of Mary in Ireland, witnessed by 15 people, in August of 1879. Said to be there for the consolation of the Irish who were suffering from severe economic hardship and near-famine conditions.

What’s unusual about this apparition, historically, is that not only was Mary central and accompanied by St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist, but also, she was silent.

Silent, yet so powerful.

In my own journey of inner work, shaped largely by Internal Family Systems (IFS), I’ve encountered one powerful part within who is stoic and elegant(not unlike Mary) who does not speak.

It’s the only part in my system (and the only one I’ve encountered in others’, during my therapist years) who has no words, apparently on purpose. But she’s always bearing meaning. She always somehow suggests things that end up being important, if I am still and observant enough.

When I encountered this stature of Our Lady of Knock, in Wallingford, Vermont, and read her story, I was struck by the connection.

Isn’t she just stunning?

Hi there, I’m Charity. If you’re new here, let me introduce myself:

I’ve been an artist all my life, have studied sacred feminine spirituality for thirty years but - like so many women - invested in an outward-facing career that fit neatly into the linear landscape, in my case mental health.

While I loved the depth and intimacy of being a therapist, and found channels to interweave my art there, it lacked space for all that called to be included - particularly spirituality. For years I maintained a private practice in one space while training as a Priestess and holding ceremonies in another. Eventually, this rift felt like a rupture.

During the pandemic I closed my practice, and eventually took a job in emergency mental health. I leaned into my own artwork, training in surface pattern design. I held circles and ceremonies for women locally, training further in ceremony. My heart’s desires were expanding, but each one on its own.

I longed to integrate these things - art, ceremony & psychology - because within me they were already merged. Externally, I had a linear, clinical career but I held circles and ceremonies by night. Integration was calling, but so much in the world says this isn’t allowed…

Perennial Heart is a body of work devoted to individual, relational and collective wellbeing - where art, objects, guidance & gatherings meet the deeper layers of human life. Here, I embody and encourage sacred, creative living through curation, creation and the art of inner relationship.

This is a space to cultivate right-relationship with the material world while nurturing your connection to what lies beyond it. To learn and love the creative process as a language for full self-expression. To embrace our inner multiplicity and love what’s “in the way”.

Integrating all we love into the one life we’re given is messy, magical work, and I’m here for it. I’m so glad you’re here, too.

✨Follow here @perennial__heart ~ I’m so glad you’re here.

In love & devotion,
Charity

Parts-work / IFS for the win! This clip levels me every time! 😂

#internalfamilysystems is so much more than therapy. It’s really a whole world view and a skill set for inner & outer relationship.

My mental health work right now is all emergency / community based (ie: I’m on leave from therapy), but I interweave IFS here in my reflection work, ceremonies & expressive art offerings.

👉🏻If you’re “IFS curious” beyond the couch, follow here @perennial__heart for more 🙌🏻🧩💛

Dahlia daydreams. Six more weeks, and yes, I’m counting the days.

These gorgeous blooms from @edenbrothers were grown the summer before last. Last year, at my building lot, they didn’t do quite as well. But here’s the good news:

They’re packed away carefully in their cozy box in my cellar, finishing their long sleep, and getting ready to go in the ground in May.

These beauties grow from tubers, which here in the north, we must dig up and put away for the winter. Each year I replant them, and they get bigger - every few years you can divide them to keep your crop growing, or to share.

Looking forward to an abundant season ahead.

More snow in Vermont this morning calls for a review of summer’s best parts. Wildflowers + creative whimsy + beach days + flower crowns + sun hats.

Shown here is my suede & metal flower crown frame - a little something I came up with to make adorning with fresh flowers easier.

It’s crafted from soft leather and stiff yet bendable metal and easily receives flower stems to be worn as a crown or hat band.

More of these available later this spring.

Starting some perennial flowers from seed is as close as I’ll get today, but I’ll take it.

Also, the birds are singing like crazy, snow squall aside. They know it’s still spring.

Stick season / Stone season. This Moondoggie worked herself into a lather chasing “special stones” through the leaf litter at our building site this week.

You’ve never seen a dog more gleeful than this one immersed in her essential work. Every time we go to our land, she finds one specific rock and chases it all over the hillside.

It’s actually better (for me!) than an invisible fence. I can do my work for an hour and a half without even checking on her because she will be doing this nonstop the whole time.

Occasionally, she pauses her digging and chasing frenzy to bring it to me and show me. So proud.

But other dogs can go by and people can walk up the path that borders our property and she doesn’t even bat an eye.

Too busy. Hard at work.

The snow was obviously cramping her style all winter. Now that it’s thawed and she’s back to work, her pile of rocks next to the door of our rental house is growing because she’s got to bring THE rock home each day.

What a noodle. A whole show on 4 paws.

I’m going to be introducing a new custom commissioned art option for the fur-baby set very soon. Stay tuned, and follow @perennial__heart if that’s your kind of thing!

First time / New favorite! This artful plate pays tribute to an amazing dinner I had Florida recently. I recreated it when I got home and If I’m honest, mine’s better! 👌🏼

I like to share a recipes here once in a while that draw us into slowness and reverent living. This one hits the high notes.

It’s a plum-glazed ginger chicken, over cilantro-lime black beans & rice with tropical pico (the rainbow part). It has a little sweet-n-sour angle, with the beans & rice, grounding it, and the pico delivering a bright zing.

Not at all hard to make, but the kind of recipe needs some sit at the table time for.

It’s the pico that calls for this - it’s really the star of the show with a very rogue mix of colors, textures and flavors. I love unexpected friendships.

I suppose I put in a solid hour of methodical tiny chopping to achieve my fantastic little rainbow side. It was the best part.

There’s plenty of nights when I need to make something quick + easy. And then there’s times when it’s nice to sit at the table and slow down and be methodical about food preparation. My son sat with me and we chatted and watched the bowl get prettier and prettier…. I have this weird rule about not tasting anything when I’m doing this so that the anticipation and mystery build ;)

There’s something special about falling in love with a dish the first time you make it. It’s a lifetime love you can take to the bank…..😍 Then every time you make it thereafter, especially with slow food, it’s like a far away friend coming to visit.

If you’d like to make this, drop a comment and I’ll send you the recipe ~ not enough room here!

Sending love to all in these strange and painful times. Let’s all keep grounded, slow and intentional about safeguarding some joy & connection in the midst of it all.

With love,
Charity

Warm wading with coffee. Heavenly.

I’m a morning person. My brain, upon waking, is always ready to take in the world. I enjoy a kind of mental clarity between 5am and 8am that I simply cannot access at other times. Ever.

It’s the penultimate window of sacred balance between being wakeful and being “on” for the world. It feels like being in my own VIP lounge (at least cognitively) and I savor it.

It’s a time when I sit in empty presence, receive, observe, think with crystal clarity…. So I often go right for my computer and write. Yes, even on vacation. These are never things I want to escape - they are cherished parts of my time here.

But I caught myself today, pressed pause and took my coffee outside. Into the waves and breeze just steps from my door. We’ve had some cooler, windy mornings since arriving, but this one was still and balmy and called me.

There was a moment when a “shoulding” part of me rose up, chiding for my internal orientation in this externally glorious place. But then the gift came through:

What a blessing it is to cherish inward time. To be at peace with myself. To live without compulsion to escape my thoughts and inner state.

Not everything in my world is as I’d like it to be. I have irons in the fire on many fronts - work, health, relationships. But there’s no sense of incompleteness. None.

This is the result of fusing IFS (parts work) with sacred feminine spirituality. They’ve come together in my own life-navigating practice in a way that’s so supportive. And I’m so grateful to have leaned to care for myself in such a rich way that neither could provide alone.

What a moment - realizing that the most beautiful surroundings, literal paradise, does not exist in polarization to my inner sanctuary. To know that they are equal, even if not the same.

I’m a Vermonter at heart but I can’t say I mind skipping out on the end of February.

The color of the water here in the keys is intoxicating. More fishing, state-park exploring and adventuring ahead.

I haven’t been to Florida since I was about 10. Being here with my kids is fun already. Fort Lauderdale is comfy and polished but I’m a state park kind of girl….so we’re headed for the Keys momentarily!

I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Whiting Sterling Silver Footed Centerpiece Bowl 55.5oz 13” Antique Compote 1941

🏈 I guess it’s a big day in sports…(?) THIS is my sport: hunting treasure. I discovered this magnificent sterling centerpiece dish while gallivanting with my good luck charm, @kelly.ccreations.16 last week.

This is such a special piece. It’s about 13 inches across and sits on pretty little floral feet with a gorgeous fluted detail all around. I adore the beautifully inscribed message on the bottom, a 25th wedding celebration gift.

Made by Whiting Co. and gifted in 1941, this magnificent piece stood out to me as a beautiful altar base. However, it turns out it is solid sterling, so I will be selling her on her own to a collector, for sure.

The thrill of the hunt.

🎶This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice.

This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices two.

This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of voices three.

This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind, it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of all of us.

This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice.

Version heard here recorded by The Wailin’ Jennys
Songwriter: Ruth Moody.

I’ve long loved this song, in several different versions. It’s a beautiful song for singing together, and one I love for ceremony & gatherings.

These are such difficult times, for so many reasons. It can be really hard to stay grounded. Regulated. Connected.

Especially connected.

Sending Great Mother love to all this morning.

✨I SURRENDER. I RECEIVE.✨

To the one heart. 💔⚔️🪷🌱🌞

🎶This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice.

This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices two.

This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of voices three.

This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind, it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of all of us.

This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice.

William Morris x Wes Anderson? Somehow it just works.

Art Garmentry project underway featuring everyone’s favorite William Morris pattern: ‘Strawberry Thief’.

The center fabric on this crazy quilt block is a William Morris print on a fine lawn cotton by @libertylondon. I’ve had some yardage of this print in my text collection for many years. I used it in a quilt long ago, but right now it’s featuring prominently in a wearable art project that I will share here soon.

✨Follow here @perennial__heart for updates!

This lil’ Moondoggie is a curious creature. And despite two bursting baskets of antlers, horns, bones, puzzles & stuffies… an altar reset is an event of pure fascination.

Is my sacred space full of treasure and rare, special things? Yes.

Is my fur bestie allowed to wonder and be charmed? Also, yes.

Lunabelle is a thinker and she likes to be involved in all the things I’m doing. It’s too much work to disallow her, not that I would.

She’s incredibly gentle so I let her enjoy the sensory experience of all my little treasures. Sniff. Lick. Taste. Trade back for half-dismembered purple dragon.

This little sea urchin, on this moon’s altar for its womb-like qualities & to channel with the sea, was top tier for Lu. She was enrapt.

She had to revert to her own collection after a fashion but she sat so quiet & polite, craning her neck and sniffing so gently…. I finally gave in and let her have a proper look.

Saturday morning new moon vibes. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally take the tree down. No promises…

Endings & beginnings, seeded right in the same space.

Missing my full collection of altar curio (most of which is in storage). But as luck would have it, as we move into a new year, my next archetype is abundant in her energy throughout my home.

These images are from two years back and lately I’ve been dearly missing my beautiful tall windows and my built-in altar space in the 16” thick walls of my old bedroom, overlooking the street.

In the depth of winter, remembering the new beginnings that are starting in the dark and waiting to be cultivated as an important practice. Right in the middle of the dark, seeds stir and life sparks, readying to gestate in the great mother, who is almost here.

Union, Freedom & Grace - The Alchemical Goddess holds all this & more. Yes, and. Nonduality.

Antique Irish Linen, hand-dyed in watery blues.

Revisiting some footage of my all-time favorite textile dyeing project. This antique Irish linen is the softest, silkiest most fluid fabric I’ve ever held in my hands. It is so very like silk but heavier.

The damask pattern is one of broad stripes and big polkadots, woven in Ireland on traditional looms by the best of the best, circa 1890’s. The overlay of blue dyes on this fabric, blended with its satiny nature, makes it look truly like water when it moves.

And that hand embroidered incredible crest you see at the end? That was the family insignia that would have been stitched into all of the finery that dressed the household’s tables. Exquisite beauty handed down through generations.

A few years later, I still haven’t made the kimono out of this that it is intended for, but I think this may be the year.

Lots brewing with handmade garmentry, rare vintage, soulful project kits, and more.

Stay tuned, loves. Despite all the garbage brewing in the world, 2026 still feels like a big turning of the page.

Xo,
Charity

Throwback to a true gem among my vintage collection. This superfine, daffodil-yellow wool coat, c. 1968, was such a stellar piece.

Sold a few years ago, this one lingered in the studio for ages before I managed to part with it. The hand of the wool was impeccable and the structure was so classic.

I’ve been tapping into some small caches of vintage treasure I have in storage and will be listing some new beauties soon.

Stay tuned! 💛

Vegan lasagna: maybe the most love-infused dish I know how to make. What’s not seasonal about that? It’s also gluten-free, grain free and dairy free. But don’t let that fool you…

I made a few pans of this lasagna last week for lunch with a very dear old friend at my place, one to send home with her & one for a little family gathering at my parent’s new home.

I’m not vegan or a vegetarian, but sometimes my body just craves simplicity and the clandestine energy of food not involving other living beings. Maybe some of you relate.

But even as a seventh generation Vermonter, the elder hunters in my family, such as my father, who have filled more freezers with venison then you could count… they LOVE this!

If you don’t know anything about cashew ricotta, you my love are in for a treat. It takes some time to make but when finished you have this velvety, rich & creamy layer to go in this recipe (or others) that truly dazzles.

Paired with very thin slices of zucchini, summer squash, and the quiet star of this dish, sweet potatoes, this all melts down into a really hardy, filling recipe that can hold its own as an entrée or be serve served as a really elevated side.

I’ll post my way of making this shortly. Credit for the original recipe to the queen of loving intention, @mandymisagal and her wife, my dear cousin, @galadrieltalk. My food heroines and two of my favorite people.

Apart from the delicious outcome, making this recipe can be such a ritual and experience of communion. It’s a wonderful thing to sit at the table and visit over while slicing and prepping.

It’s also a marvelous, meditative solo activity, as it was for me (with my Luna, of course) on a 16 hour overnight shift, listening to Christmas carols and watching snow fall.

I noticed this year. The run up to winter solstice has not been quite as heartstring tugging as it sometimes is in the dark of the year. Tomorrow is solstice and thereafter we welcome the sun’s slow return. This recipe was a nice hold over in the depth of the follow time.

☀️Comment YUM to get a printable copy of this recipe when I share it shortly!

The full moon, overhead at 1AM on this clear winter night is illuminating my little glass bedroom like a streetlight.

Wool blankets, down comforter, electric blanket. Almost like camping and I’m happier than a pig in sh!t.

Luna, however, got overheated and went the rug for a cool-down ;)

The fresh snow makes this moon so magical.

Happy Fall & (almost) Halloween! The flowers, wild & cultivated, are hard at work on their season finale.

Hoping my dreamy peach foxglove comes back in the spring.
And the green + white echinacea.
And the black hollyhocks.
And the bluebirds…

We didn’t start the house this season but we started my perennial gardens, and that’s something ;)

Golden hour couldn’t be more golden than in the fall in Vermont. Took a scenic detour on my way home from the ER Saturday - a nice energy reset.
