Remember to forgive yourself for choices you might wish you’d made differently. There are no mistakes along your path. Your new understanding replaces previous misconceptions, and like beautiful new fractals born of this moment, they could not be without the cornerstones laid before them.

Our newly formed ISD Oneonta drum circle, Earth Beats, will offer a guided meditation, blessing of the seven directions, and a shamanic drum circle. Earth Beats, with co-hosts Tom Landon and Karin Murphy, is offering this event at ISD as an outgrowth of their shamanic drumming experiences with another local drum circle led by Suzanne Summers. Participation is open to anyone who hears this calling to them.

ISD Sacred Council Message:
Keep your guard up nowadays and don’t let things pull you off center. There are a lot of things out there right now to cause the wise person to slow down and analyze with your feeling sense rather than with logic before coming out into the open with your full self.

ISD Sacred Council
When conditions are slippery, we walk carefully. We hold onto others… We go slow.
Right now, more than ever, the extra care and light we are asking you to bring into your daily experience is that of extra attention to being careful, kind and using dedicated communication with those around you. Really give the exchanges the extra time in the beginning and end and attention to what they are saying as well as giving careful consideration to what it is that you really want to say, before doing so. There is so much merit to be gained from this right now, everything that you care about will benefit!

ISD Sacred Council Message- The simple truth of the matter is that it’s all about perfecting our relations and lifting things to higher and higher octaves. One of the best ways to do this is by getting intimate with gratitude and appreciation. It is important to generate the positive flow of thankfulness that can bring joy into someone else's life.

Seventeen members and friends gathered on Sunday, January 18th for our ISD Oneonta's 2026 Annual Convention to review our progress in 2025 and set our goals and intentions for 2026. Joann Wormuth chaired, as acting President, until Jaya Buckland can resume that position. We are very pleased about the growth since we arrived at our beautiful new space at 297 River Street Service Rd in Oneonta.

ISD Sacred Council-
We are most truthfully revealed in how we speak to those closest to us. Chat time with our loyal friends is the clearest measure of who we actually are—and a mirror we can use to better know ourselves by listening to how and what we say to those nearest to us.
