Along the mighty Mississippi River, there once was what some would call mystic beasts, others say it was a family of dragons that ruled the St.Louis river valleys. There home was in Alton IL. The natives named the creatures, Piasa Birds.

Piasa means “he who devours man” in the indigenous language.

Dragons embody all the elements. The Piasa Birds were described to have a fish like tail, antlers like a deer, wings and a beard like a man. All dragons breathe fire.

We go into the birth place of these dragons. As in our pursuit of finding our gold inside ourselves, knowing it’s not going to be easy.

The dragon (ego / shadows) is always fighting to protect the gold. Always there, waiting.. for the day we decide to face them and take back our power.

Running from our shadows is always going to perpetuate the inner demons hold on us. The generational trauma that so many have avoided to face, we now see it’s time to face these dragons.

And In this pursuit collectively, side by side, we take on these dragons.

Together we rise.

Join us brothers & sister. All humans welcome
