Meeting Sky Series

Something New has emerged from the conversation with Dark Mystery I’ve been engaged in for a few years now…

As I’ve rehydrated ancient Chinese characters and cosmologies, delving deeply within the actualness, I’ve found myself engaging intimately with something much earlier and more broadly EurAsian, tapping my way into Neolithic and late Paleolithic layers of remembrance, of ways of being, where Sky and Earthen Mound are singing their songs and dancing their dances, and we humans are singing and dancing along…

We’re continually being invited to commune with Life as a way of becoming more actually human, invited to revitalize by emergently originating, experiencing ourselves beyond the defining and colonizing constructs of empire (I’m lookin’ at you Dude Standardization Project), learning and living our way into this alive storied Universe, here and now!

And so, I’m offering a seasonal series of intensive explorations of ecosystemic aliveness through early Chinese characters, writings, mythologies, and cosmologies.

Some excerpts from our first session…

We’ll be bringing layers of Early Cosmology into current experience for YiJing/I Ching aficionados, and Inner Martial Arts, Chinese Medicine, and FengShui practitioners, as well as Anyone interested in Cultivating Presence in the real real world, which is right here, and has been the whole time!!

No prior knowledge needed. Anyone with beginner’s mind is welcome!

The Meeting Sky series began in Autumn ’25 ~ Living Divination, situating ourselves in conversation with the ongoingness of the living divinatory dance, engaging with the actualness of meeting and coming to intimately know Sky through the dances of Sun, Moon, and Earth.

The Meeting Sky Series continued in Winter ’26 ~ River Crossing Festival Dragon Tiger Dance, gathering together to sing the Equinox River Crossings, seeing Azure Dragon arise and White Tiger set, and following Moon as it journeys the lunar lodges!

The Meeting Sky Series offers another round in Spring/Summer ’26 ~ Northern Dipper & Weaver Woman, including the storied shifting of the North Star through the ages…

So much intimate richness to be experienced!

We go deep into experiencing cosmos alive here and now
while connecting with cosmos alive thousands of years ago!

Autumn ’25 ~ Living Divination Recordings
This is the foundational ecosystem building of the whole series!
And so, this is highly recommended to weave in,
even if you join us in another round of the Series!

Winter ’26 ~ River Crossing Festival Dragon Tiger Dance Recordings
This round brings you deeper into knowing the Chinese starry sky and the rich ecosystem of cosmology.

Spring/Summer ’26 ~ Northern Dipper & Weaver Woman ~ LIVE Course starting soon!

Cultivate ecosystemic aliveness
through learning early Chinese cosmologies

For more than two decades, Stargazer Li aka Cheryl “Li” Walter, Ph.D., has been Conversing with Universe and Keeping Time as a way of life. Her highly unique approach involves deep presence in engaging with the unfolding story of the moment, living natural rhythms, offering starry experiences under the night sky, making and sharing planetary essences and essence elixirs, and generally geeking out on the amazingness of life.

Li has conversed with the YiJing for more than four decades. Her deepening into living Chinese cosmology developed through a decade of living inside a home and land (where she built an open-field Stumphenge aligned with the solstices and equinoxes) that was daily storied by the living cosmology of black Sun birds cawing in the Mulberry tree of East in the mornings and flying in from all directions to honor sunset in the Ruo tree of West, before overnighting along the convergence of two creeks in the watery North. This experience shaped her being through a profound experience of mythopoetic grace.

In recent years, Li has been invited by Life into reading and remembering cosmological experiences and ways of relating from which the ancient Chinese characters and bagua emerged, and has since been deeply engaged in learning, rehydrating, teaching, and expressing an intimate, Dao-ish sense of ecosystemic aliveness.

I've found that I"m beginning to be able to approach the days, and what before has seemed like more own personal happenings within them, as more of a conversation and I feel anchored, within all the motion, in a way I didn't before.

I feel like being in touch with the calendar (and the I-Ching) that i'm now giving myself permission to change way more than I have before. And the word comforting comes to mind. I find it all so comforting to really begin to feel myself tethered to this unfolding, and participating, everyday, (despite myself sometimes!) and to have a place to turn to help me begin to articulate how I'm hearing/speaking/living with the unfolding of the days/seasons/cylces/years . . .and I love too how this calender can both help bring into my awareness the small patterns, and much much larger cycles that are all simultaneously going on.

It's also nice to notice how much more the calendar makes sense to me! I used to look online and try and notice the day and what that was feeling like- but it's been a huge help watching the videos and hearing you tell stories about the calendar to bring me in a little deeper, and I love how you share tidbits of cycles within cycles that you've begun to notice in the calendar over the years- it reminds me that this is something that is ongoing, with a constant unfolding and learning.

Since beginning the Time Traveling 101, this speaks to where/how i am journeying and dancing and being danced: 

A mistress in the art of living, draws no distinction between her work and her play, her labor and her leisure, her mind and her body, her education and her recreation. She hardly knows which is which.

She simply pursues her vision of amazingness  through whatever she is doing and leaves others to  determine if she is working or playing.  To herself, she always seems to be doing both.

I love what you said last call about how challenges are amazing when we are in our aliveness, remembering this has helped me a lot to choose pathways to realignment - over and over again.

I am thoroughly enjoying the path you are offering. I love the language of it and I love how you weave together so many different perspectives, traditions and divination tools.

I enjoy the opportunity to think so big and so specific all at once. This class has taken me back into awareness of my place in the larger story, and with it, a deep, all encompassing faith and trust in my journey in this lifetime.

At times, during the course I felt like I was stepping into a sparkling whirling vortex of Stargazer Li energy that contained much more grounded life force and intent than I had ever felt in my own energy field.

It was exhilarating and awesome and also a bit disorienting, which is all good because then re-orienting to a new way of being became possible.

I am so much more in my body, grounded, and feeling vibrantly alive than when we first started.

Before participating in your classes, I resisted change and viewed most all changes in my life as detrimental and to be avoided. I felt like I was clinging to a rock on the shoreline - angry, frustrated and resistant to the flow of the river of Life. And weirdly, I was completely ungrounded. Perhaps that's why I clung so desperately to the rock.

Since your first class, I find I am no longer on the shoreline. I have jumped in the river and am LOVING it. I somehow woke up and realized all I needed to do was to be present and flow. I guess this is living the story. And it is oh, so WOW!

I notice I am more awake and aware of all that is being and changing around me. Nature speaks to me all the time and I'm finally listening with a more open heart, freer of expectations. How many WOW's can possibly describe these experiences?

Working and learning with you is just the most zingy-filled fun time I've had in quite a long time.
