If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the bustle of daily life, it’s time to consider a retreat.
Winter Reign and I are now preparing for our 5th Retreat (we go to Joshua Tree, 20 - 23 Sept). I’ve learned, these long weekends provide me opportunity to step away from the routine of my life, to lay down the hats of my responsibilities (and my phone) and touch back to my ground.
Read MorePlace 2 pendulum clocks on the wall together, set them off at different rates, and within a day or so they will synchronies to the same rhythm. This principle of synchronization, called Entrainment, was first noticed by physicist Christian Huygens in 1665, and has since become a well accepted principal of Physics. The principle is universal, and appears not just in mechanical pendulum clocks, but also in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry.

Sounds simple right? And maybe it is …
I personally believe this little motto may hold the key to health and well-being.
When we are living in alignment with our calling, the energies of our lives open. We are living and working what we enjoy, and our path unfolds. It’s a space in which contentment arises, being happy to be where we are, and it results in an elixir of harmony which cascades across mind, body and soul promoting holistic nurturance, balance and ease. This, in my view is what it means to be well.
Read MoreFinding and nurturing the threads of personal growth, is the focus of Life Energy Mandala, a group mentorship program designed to support women stepping into new chapters.
Life is dynamic, not static. Things are meant to shift and change. It is a normal part of our path to grow. Inspiration is a key part of our guidance, and the journey flows most easily when it is joyful!
However to what extent are these wisdoms front and center as we make choices in our lives? Do we cultivate space for growth? Do we nurture movement and change, or do we resist? Are we actively listening out for inspiration and making choices on this basis? Are we stepping into what brings joy?

Read More“Meet at Moonrise at 4.18pm …”
Excited for the happy coincidence that our Women’s Retreat in Sedona was falling on the Virgo Full Moon, and even more excited to realize our Saturday afternoon expedition would look to the rising moon … it all seemed like an extremely special sign.
However, where the specific time of 4.18pm for Moonrise came from was something of a puzzle … yet, the words came from my mouth, and no-one questioned, and so we joyfully rode out in our caravan of cars to the hiking trail for Kachina Woman Rock.

Read MoreI consider the practice of self observation to be a fundamental starting point when establishing a healthier relationship to ourselves. This process of receptive awareness, which can be found in many meditation practices, is a bit like like slowing down the speed dial on a record player. By slowing the speed, there comes a point where it is possible to clearly hear each note. Then to slow a little more, it becomes possible to hear the space between the notes.
Imagine doing this with your mind. Slowing the mind, first to hear the individual thoughts as they arise. Then to hear the space between the thoughts.
Read MoreThe most powerful aspect of my work as a life coach, is supporting my clients to appreciate that what they feel of their lives to be stuck and immovable, is only seated in their perception. Transformation is possible! It begins right now, and follows a path of unfolding.
The butterfly’s journey of becoming from being a caterpillar, is a symbol of the transformational pathway across many indigenous traditions. If we reflect on this process of change it is nothing short of miraculous. Caterpillar builds her cocoon, within which she makes a complete transformation, to emerge with wings and an ability to take flight.
In the same way, when we approach the process of transformation in our own lives, we require something of a cocoon. Perhaps more energetic in nature, this cocoon must hold a space of possibility - free of doubts, disbelief and judgements.
Read MoreWhen I introduce myself as a meditation guide, a common response is "oh, I can't meditate. I can't stop my mind!". I usually respond something like "yep, that's normal" and go on to share my perspective - that the primary focus of meditation is not about stopping the mind at all, but more so about bringing awareness to what the mind is doing.
In my response, I hope to open a window of possibility for those who have already decided meditation isn't for them. Then I remind that meditation isn't about sitting on a cushion and closing one's eyes (although this can help), that everything has the potential to be a meditation - from walking, to listening to music, to standing in the Post Office line, to washing the dishes. I consider meditation more as an attitude of approach - an opening into becoming present to what's happening right here and now!
