Loto Journal
An evolving exploration of consciousness, spirituality, relationship, and what it means to flourish together.
Through personal storytelling and curious inquiry, we explore consciousness and the Self, contemplative spirituality and mysticism, psychology and somatic healing, creativity and relationship, and our connection with nature and the living world. Along the way, our Founder, Jennifer, shares letters from her travels as a digital nomad, exploring the people, places, traditions, and sacred landscapes that continue to shape her journey.
Reader’s Note: In an attempt to bring a conscious sense of responsibility to our language (where inclusivity and equality matter), in our Loto Wellness Collective blog content, except for direct quotes, the pronouns often used for God are They/Them in reference to Great Spirit, the I AM, the Universe. Also, we have taken the liberty of capitalizing the term “True Self” or “Self” so you will know that we are not referring to the “false self” (psychological egoic self), but the foundational Self that we are in God, Imago Dei.
Biblical Feasts: Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) - Awakening
On Rosh Hashanah, the trumpet's cry is not for battle, but for the soul. It interrupts forgetfulness. It calls us back to awareness: God is King, life is fragile, and every breath is holy. "Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance." (Psalm 89:15)
Biblical Feasts: Shavuot/Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) - Illumination
Shavuot is about abundance and revelation. The land yields its fruit, and God yields divine wisdom. The feast weaves together earth and heaven, bread and word, body and spirit.
