Conversations by the Fire

so… here i am. at the very edge of the snake year. I can feel it in my chest - that quiet pressure, like weather gathering behind the ribs. a threshold day. tomorrow the hinge turns. dark moon. eclipse. and the fire horse at the gate, breath warm, hooves restless against the earth. and i can feel her. of course i can. sagittarian heart. earth horse bones. there is something in me that wants to greet her already - to toss my head, to feel the heat rise, to move. but today belo

Halfway through a Womb Surround, a circle of eight women, and my heart is quietly full. Laughter spilling out where words once couldn’t. Tears finding permission. Stillness that says more than anything spoken. Long, poignant silences and the gentle joy of unfurling. I’m in awe of the beauty this work brings... the ripples it sends outward, seen and unseen. Life moves through us like a river: marking us, shaping us, carving us open. We are born this way... initiated into life

The hammer rests by the forge today. The shoulders drop an inch, then two. It is the sound of the pottering, the tea, the quiet home that says: the nectar is already here.   A seed is not a worker. It does not strain to be a flower - it simply unfolds because the soil is warm.   I give the ache to the flame - the tightness in the jaw, the lie of the lone wolf, the old story of the arid ground   I leave it for Brigid to turn into ash. And in the space that remains… there is La

There is a lot of noise right now about "fixing" or "hacking" the nervous system... but from a somatic and PPN (Pre- and Peri-natal) perspective, your nervous system isn't a problem to be solved. It is the most sophisticated, biological intelligence on the planet. It is a living story. This story didn't begin with you... it is a long, ancestral epic passed down through your lineage that found a unique new expression in the fluid of your mother's womb. Every nervous system car

Sisters… of the heart, of the blood, of the ancient remembering. We come as we are unyielded, unpolished, unmasked carrying our laughter like lanterns, our tears like the salt of the sea that shaped us all. There is no striving here. No need to tuck away the trembling part, the doubting part, the part that still believes she must earn her place. Here , every part is welcomed, every part belongs. We enter the circle like stepping into warm earth: barefoot, slow, letting the a

A Somatic Path Through Resistance and Softening Gratitude... Some days it feels effortless - a state of consciousness, a natural river I can slip into with ease. Like the other morning, when out of nowhere - or at least it felt like nowhere - I stood at my window suddenly aware of how grateful I was simply to be alive. For the breath moving in my lungs. For the colours of the day rising outside my window. For the sense that, somehow, I was in right relation with Life hersel

Have you ever noticed moments when you softened your voice or said “yes” even as your body quietly whispered “no”? Perhaps there are times when your own needs took a back seat in the pursuit of harmony . Tomorrow’s Libra New Moon offers a rare, sacred pause... an invitation to gently explore these patterns, release old tension, and reconnect with the sovereignty of your own soul . This pause is more than a moment of stillness; it is a subtle call to spiritual sovereignty , t

Practices for Balance, Resilience, and Healing Trauma Balance... Regulation... What do these words really mean? How do we live from a place of steadiness while the world keeps spinning, while life continues to rise and fall, expand and contract, glow and dim? These questions have been alive in me lately, personally and in my work with others. Perhaps it’s something about the shift into the darker seasons, when life calls us inward. Or perhaps it’s that so many of us, amidst t

This morning I woke with an ache in my chest, a widening in my heart, and a hush in my bones. What a strange paradox we carry… to ache...
