Spring rolling in with the promise of blossoming. Welcoming the colour and fragrances returning to our cognition, as the sun climbs towards it’s mid-point on March 19.
The light is returning, new life emerging, our shadows are shorter.
The wheel pivots to rebirth, and we turn again to the youthful vitality of Springtime.
This Winter offered many opportunities to sit with some really heavy, dark and confusing aspects of our human experience and, the space to contemplate.
What deep process are you emerging from?
What is coming alive in you?
Are you ready to show up vulnerably to what is calling you to grow and expand?
Winter has been harsh on the collective as we witness the atrocities unfolding on the planet. It’s not an easy time to be human. I have another Substack drafted with other ‘March Musings’ as I was prompted by the imprint this month carries post 2020… but it’s a much longer article, so I’ll dive into that more there + publish later.
I will share here; that on both sides of 2020 my WHY has been and is the same. To cultivate myself, daily - physically, emotionally, spiritually, and offer space to share compassionate + transformational tools that have helped me, so others may experience their own healing.
This was my why when I stepped on the path of yoga, 20 years ago. To help others, source more freedom, like this practice has given me.
It was my why in opening a Temple space + yoga centre for folks to share in spiritual practice 10 years ago. To provide a community space for healing.
It’s the why behind why I see 1-1 clients for breathwork + on-going mentorship. Healed people - help people.
It’s why I work with frequency to help others restore their energetic baseline in relation to their traumas, stories + desires. We all have the capacity to live in vibrational alignment with who we really are.
I’ve been reflecting on the last 4 years alot lately, and I can really see all that I’ve been through, let go of and forgiven in myself and in others, was so I could continue to hold space for others.
My mission is the same. I want people to heal, I want to help. I want people to feel better. I want people to feel like they are more of themselves.
I believe when we feel good, we make better choices and we do more of what we love to live enriching lives.
I’d love to trust in the knowing we all want to leave this Earth a little better than we found it.
My intention in the containers I create is to allow for spaciousness. For you to show up as you are, bring what’s on your heart, and let it move through as necessary.
In my experience, my work has been to welcome back all my parts, sit in the emotions authentically + and then move them through my body. This is a daily practice.
For this, the somatic practices of yoga and dance have been my vehicle, which I why I offer these tools in a ceremonial space.
To feel, own and transmute energy is to acknowledge our birth right in a role as powerful co-creators.
We are moving with Spirit. We are moving with the blood of our ancestors. We are moving with the land.
When we can gather at these potent times within the season’s change, take space and honest inventory, look to nature to acknowledge where we ourselves are located within the cycle of birth, life, death + rebirth, we can move with our authentic energy, offer our efforts, emotions + prayer in reverence ~ we receive so much from this sacred gesture. It is how we renew our Spirit and cultivate our vision. It’s about claiming the time to honour our life.
The upcoming VENUS PORTAL will be such an opportunity.
My sister, artist, friend Ananda Enns and I co-host this offering of intentionality, spaciousness and the opportunity to commune with medicine in a safe and sacred way.
