HEYOKA DIARY: Book 1

The Heyoka Diary is a personal and reflective journal that spans twelve years, from 2013 to 2025. Initially written as a private diary by a man documenting his encounters and evolving relationship with a group known as the "forest people," the early entries were later shared publicly through a blog titled My Lady of the Woods.The diary captures deeply personal experiences, conversations, and spiritual insights that emerged from this unique connection. In 2025, the author revisited the work, adding new material, updates, and conclusions to previous open-ended reflections. These later additions brought renewed clarity and depth to the earlier writings, rounding out the narrative into a cohesive, long-term account of transformation, mystery, and connection with beings of the natural world.Ultimately, The Heyoka Diary is a chronicle of awakening and relationship—both human and more-than-human—written across more than a decade of lived experience.
