🌈 A DREAM TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING!

I am absolutely ecstatic to officially introduce 🌈 Wild Indigo Aura Photography!

After struggling to bring Aura Photography onto 🪻 indigo forest farm last year, Andrew and I decided it was time to create a little magic of our own.

With my vision and Andrew's incredible gifts in software development and engineering, we brought our very own custom-built 🌈 Aura Camera and Aura RX experience to life!

An invitation to witness yourself in color, explore the unseen, and celebrate the beautifully ever-changing subtle body.

We're now bringing Aura Photography to private sessions with pets, pop-up events (subscribe to our newsletter for upcoming announcements), wildllife centers, retreats, festivals, and commUnity gatherings!

Here's to following those little whispers that never quite leave us, trusting the winding road, and watching a decade-old dream finally bloom.

Cheers to a 🎨 colorful new chapter & another business with a long ass name!

🪻 Explore Wild Indigo Aura Photography at wildindigoforest.org to schedule, collaborate on a pop-up event, or book us for your Retreat!

GINORMOUS shout-out to 🌷 Restoration Acres for taking our vision for a logo and bringing it to life so beautifully! Aubrey is the real deal, an Appalachian folk artist weaving imagination, heart, and a little everyday magic into the world, one illustration at a time.

On November 7, 🌀 The Receiving Retreat came to life in the forest at🪻Wild Indigo

People who arrived as strangers were sharing stories, laughing, supporting one another, and making plans to see each other again. Some of those friendships are already growing beyond the forest.

There was no hierarchy between guides and guests. Just humans showing up for one another. That is commUnity. Where we don't have to hide our humanness to explore our spirituality. Where caring for ourselves and caring for one another aren't separate.

The humans who came to receive also gave so generously of themselves. Not because anyone expected them to, but because that's what happens when we allow ourselves to receive nourishment. We, in return, share the love we have for ourselves outwards. We become less self-centered and more commUnity-centered.

What a gift it was to give. What a gift it was to receive

Fellow guides were washing dishes, tending to guests, putting food away, and helping wherever they were needed. Guests were stepping in to lend a hand without being asked. When we unexpectedly found ourselves down a guide, .rae.yoga stepped in to teach yoga and help hold the container, even though she came to receive herself.

🎻 joined me for an incredible after yin yoga & meditation sound bath and continued helping with all the little things that needed attention throughout the day. Including running 🏃🏽‍♀️ up our k**b to the driveway entrance!

💆🏾‍Mama Kim and Katie of shared their M A G I C hands, offering bodywork, care, and space for our guests to rest and heal. Noteworthy mention, being pro dishwashers of our three meals feeding over 20 people!

& shoutout to my husband and behind-the-scenes guide for building us a badass Aura 🌈 Camera Business , that captured everyones subtle body and souls essence.

To every person who helped make 🌀 The Receiving what it was, thank you. My heart is on fire ❤️‍🔥 with appreciation.

Love, Elise Dixie Jane

"Inside all of us is hope, fear, and adventure. Inside all of us is a W I L D thing."

A Halloween 🎃 Samhain filled with equal parts remembrance, reflection, and play!

Spent the day with sisters & some of my favorite commUnity hangs .stop.shop , which led and I to explore the Napoleon Boulevard Halloween Art Installation! We even met the sweet family behind the ⛵️ Where the Wild Things Are installation!

Where the Wild Things Are was my favorite childhood book, and in many ways, I've spent my life trying to embody its spirit.

Like Max, I've known loneliness and the longing to find a place where you're loved and accepted exactly as you are. That feeling has shaped the vision behind🪻Wild Indigo Forest Farm.

To create a place where our wildness is welcomed rather than tamed. Where we can reconnect with nature, cultivate meaningful relationships, and find our own commUnity of Wild Things.

Naturally, I had to ask the family if they'd consider selling their creations... Turns out beat me to it by ONE HOUR!

I'm gonna eat them up (iykyk) 👻

So, Bernheim, perhaps we could arrange a forest-to-forest shared custody agreement? Six months in your 🌲 forest, six months in ours?!

We are named W I L D, after all!

Our grassroots organization is working to rewild and reconnect folks with nature, creativity, and one another.

We're entirely self-funded, and while grant support has yet to materialize, we're cultivating this vision from the ground up, in the belief that nature, imagination, and commUnity can profoundly plant seeds 🌱 of hope and change lives.

Perhaps there's an opportunity for our two forest centers to collaborate and share the wonder these Wild Things inspire...?

Bernheim Forest and Arboretum , would you consider taking a chance on🪻?!

After all, even the Wild Things need a place to belong.

Grace & Gratitude,

🍁 There's been a beautiful shift in my days lately, with more space to return to the rhythms that nourish and ground me.

After navigating the busiest season of my life, there's so much to celebrate. The meaningful gatherings, deep connections, and experiences brought to life at🪻Wild Indigo have been extraordinary gifts.

There's also a deep sense of pride in the personal capacity, organizational structure, and abilities developed to bring these visions to life and sustain such a vibrant season of gatherings, with looming deadlines overlapping one another - while literally running eight businesses in one 🤣.

As that capacity shifts with autumn's 🪾 embrace, the focus is turning toward honoring my health, creating more spaciousness for winter's hibernation, and being intentional about the energy devoted to the gatherings ahead.

And with that spaciousness comes the opportunity to reconnect with the practices and places that restore me. Unhurried mornings with tea 🍵 beside the pond. Wandering through the forest without the constraints of a schedule. Foraging without watching the clock. Simply observing, connecting, and being fully present with the land.

There's a profound difference between continually creating space for others to receive and allowing ourselves to receive, too.

Right now, I'm grateful to be experiencing both and re-learning to care for myself while stepping into a larger commUnity role of caring for others.

If you're feeling called to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the restorative gifts of the forest, we have one remaining space for our November 7th Receiving Retreat at🪻

My heart ❤️‍🔥 is brimming over with eternal gratitude

To every beautiful soul who joined us for the sound bath at with , thank you for bringing your time, energy, and openness into this little corner of the 🪻 forest.

We not only sold out, but went beyond sold out, welcoming 27 beautiful souls to our largest gathering yet! I'm continually moved that you choose to share two of your most precious gifts 🌙time and energy🌈 with us.

Cat, thank you for sharing your gifts 🎻. When your violin begins, the energy shifts, inviting us into your witchy 🧹 world of wonder. .paints for bringing your magical paintings into our lives, and Mama Kim for caring deeply about each human and providing Reiki during the Sound Bath.

To Mary, (former owner of Louisville's magical Wild Dog Rose 🍵 shop), thank you for helping prepare, welcome guests, and support Cat. And to , thank you for helping Cat on that uphill journey (especially after foot surgery)!

Thank you, sisters. We couldn't have done it without you.

An enormous thank-you to Karla of (incredibly fresh 🐕 food w/ additional nutrition and herbs for specific health conditions), for so generously donating her incredible 15-by-10-foot khayamiya, a beautiful piece of traditional textile 🪡 artistry! This gift will become part of our future gatherings, creating a cozy space for everyone to come together, stretch out, and enjoy one big commUnity cuddle puddle! Your generosity means so much, Karla, and I'm beyond grateful to think of you with every cuddle puddle - that will more than likely also be shared with you!

To friends old and new, these gatherings are about more than an experience. They're about connection, intention, and finding commUnity amid the horrors unfolding in our country and around the world 🌎.

Thank you for growing this Wild Indigo commUnity with us. The forest 🌲 is even more magical because you're part of it.

With love and gratitude,
