How Remembering Our Roots Beflowers our Authenticity
This week’s post is sit-down with Reema Rachel, Wellness Tech Visionary and Founder of the HIRA Collective. I love how Reema shares her story: from FaceTime-ing her grand-uncle and chatting with her grandmother about health and Yoga, through the moments of experiencing non-integrous “spiritual”...

Disposable Cups & the Descent into Underworld
Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Do you find yourself in the same patterns again and again, despite your good intentions and rational thinking? I have. One of mine started with a frustrated grip of a disposable coffee cup, when I had 8 reusable cups sitting comfortably in my...

Loving the Unloved Parts
Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app. Today’s video kicks off the Sun-kissed Leo season. I’ve been sitting with the feeling of authenticity, rather than what I think and how present. It reminded me of a practice that an energy healer...

Intelligence of Ceremony
Thank you to everyone who tuned into this week’s live video! _________________________________________________________________________ When I first sat in Ceremony, I loved the part where the Elements and Directions were called in. Back then, in my newness, I felt like this act was profound but...

Who Am I Around Others
Working towards self-love and authenticity is certainly something that starts as a solo journey, but we need others to see and experience different parts of ourselves. Sitting in Ceremonies helped me with this in truly surprising and unexpected ways. Ceremonies are sacred containers, and what is...

Summer Solstice - Rise of Ceremony
Happy Summer Solstice & the start of Cancer season. The waters of Cancer relate to our emotional bodies, our need for nourishment, rest, comfort and nesting. This Solstice that feeling has been as strong as my desire to make plans, do things, organize life differently. All my opposite natures…

Capacity to Communicate
Communication is relational, sensory, and subtle. Today’s video explores how the complexity of every byte of information we take in with our sense organs as we navigate our day, and how it shapes our expression—verbal and non-verbal. In a way, how we communicate is the output of what we’ve taken...

Pixels of Perception
This Week’s Invitation:Gemini—sign of the twins—invites us to become aware of how we perceive the world. The way we perceive our surroundings shapes our mind and, ultimately, how we communicate—and in this second week of this air sign, we’re reminded of how the flood of information (sensory,...
-
Textures Of Our Thoughts
The energetic invitation of Gemini—a mental and air sign—is to become aware of the quality of our thoughts—where our thoughts are sourced from, how they scatter or loop, how that feels, and how they shape our choices. I’m noticing a certain windy quality on my thoughts—uncharacteristically all…

Lamentation & Doubt—Part of the Magic!
Alright, you’ve all felt this as I have right? Stuck, doubtful, or like nothing you're doing or creating matters, that feeling of drudgery as one mundane day bleeds into the next. Today’s video is NOT about ‘fixing’ that. Watch and let yourself: * Learn why doubt, frustration, and/or creative...

The Lie of Success Metrics
We set measurable goals, we work toward them, and often… we actually reach them!Then what? I have chased the imagined feelings of achieving my metric-based goals. But my own history shows me, that when I reach them, I don’t feel those feelings. Instead, I just move onto the next project or expand...

Break the Burnout Cycle
Chronic burnout and exhaustion are standard and accepted states of being. It is considered normal. It is not. It is not a happy or sustainable way to move through our days and weeks. When I found myself in this place, I realized that my creative process was misaligned from who I actually was. In...

The Missing Piece in Your Creative Process... You!
Traditional advice on ‘how to manifest your dreams’ has not always worked for me. It has worked sometimes, and made me feel great; other times, it has crashed! Eventually, after a lot of trial and error, I figured out why! This video explores my more sustainable, and personalized approach to...

Intimacy of Opposites & Immovable Truths
Congratulations friends, we made it through the seas of our inner unknowing-ness and formlessness (Pisces season)! Huzzah!!! I know 12 videos this month was a lot, but what can I say… there is a lot happening and going to unfold as we move through 2025, so I hope this series supported your…

The Master Creator
Our journey through Pisces season comes to its pinnacle today when the Moon is in full illumination in the sign of Virgo. Today is also a Lunar Eclipse—when the shadow of the Earth falls on the face of the Moon. Virgo and Pisces are polar opposites. While Pisces is…Formlessness, the Dream, and...

The Marriage of Love & Will
To recap… we’ve been journeying through Pisces season and getting friendly with Formlessness—as an aspect of Creation. In the last video, we explored receptivity and nourishment while the Moon moved through the watery sign of Cancer. This energy is required if we desire manifesting our Essential...
-
Be Nourished by Receptivity
The mental, psychological and emotional exhaustion a lot of us feel, comes from our practices of over-thinking and over-doing; which is another way of saying that we are not great at receiving restoration, and nourishment that regenerates us. The Moon in Cancer over the next couple of nights…

Harmony from Owning All Our Faces
Why have we been following the zodiacal guidance of the Moon through through Pisces season? Because the like many wise ancient cultures, we are choosing to harmonize with cosmic frequencies, so that we can stabilize internally through times of great change. The Moon’s energy archetype is...

Aligning Beauty with Responsibility
We’ve been following the zodiacal guidance of the Moon—the celestial archetype of our unconscious, our hidden motivations and our past programs—through this 2025 Pisces Season. Today, we are at the halfway point, with the Moon transiting through Taurus, which lies opposite to Scorpio, which is...

After Union, Individuation
After a New Moon, we enter what is called the waxing phase, where we start seeing the silvery smile across the evening sky. After the Pisces New Moon, we move into the elements of desire, manifestation, will and action as the Moon transits Aries. This lunation holds the keys to existing as an...
-
The Waters of Healing & Realization
The element of water is often related to our emotions. It is also the element of deep connectivity where we realize our healing—both personal and collective. On the New Moon in Pisces, every one of us has the opportunity to align our inner waters with the waters of our world. My favourite Moon in...
-
Solutions Birthed through the Union of Consciousness & Matter
Our problems and dramas are created through a fragmented or disjointed view of Creation and our place in it. New Earth solutions that are unifying, compassionate and healing come from celebrating union within us. The festival I mentioned in the video is called MahaShivratri, which falls as the…
more -
Being Stewards of Our Bodies
We can’t control or adjust what is pre-conscious. We we can do is be open, willing and build awareness to tune-into subtle messages, especially as they manifest through the physical body or our physical environments. As the Moon transits for a couple of days through the Earth sign of Capricorn…

What Our (Unconscious) Thoughts Create
Learning to relate to Formlessness supports us with creation and manifestation. The Moon in Sagittarius is all about being in right relationship to our thoughts, beliefs and mentality. But, how do we get in right relationship to our thoughts when they are unconscious? How do we know, what we…

Learning to Navigate Formlessness—Power & Emotions
Through 2025’s Pisces Season, we are journeying through Formlessness, the unseen and unknown depths of our pre-consciousness. Formlessness, like manifestation, is an aspect of Creation. We need to be in right relationship with it. Why? Because on the path of self-liberation, we need to learn...

Illumination & Dissolution
From Aquarius… We are coming to the end of the Inner Revolution journey, through the weeks of Aquarius season, and transitioning into the cosmic waters of Pisces. Though the Sun is shifting signs, the revolution to tune-into our inner guide, our temple or monastery within is still very much…

Dawn After the Dark Night
Dark nights and deep awakenings may seem eternal, but they do have an end. All things do. With the Sun (our conscious mind) still moving through Aquarius, this week we have the Moon (our unconscious) burning brightly in Leo (our Soul’s creative pursuits), which is Aquarius’s opposite. This firey...

"I want to, but I don't want to...!"
This week we are feeling into the second petal or gateway into the Quantum Human. We move from the firey Activation place, to the the earth and soil of our being, in the phase of Sustained Awakening. Coming to ground, deepening into the soil and rooting into our present reality, in our body is...

Activating the Inner Revolution
Today, joining the Sun and Pluto in sign of the water-bearer, is Mercury and the New Moon. This can feel like a lot of mental energy—wild new thoughts, atypical solutions to problems we’ve had for a while, sudden and unexpected synchronicities—all of which sound like a good time. Excess mental...

Starting an Inner Revolution
As the Sun and Pluto start their journey in the sign of Aquarius, we are inviting in the energies of the Inner Revolution. I call this the Quantum Human, or living as the Quantum Self, where the decisions and direction in our lives comes more from our inner knowing authority, rather than the…

'It hasn't happened yet!'
We all want to manifest our desires and dreams and live as powerful, awesome Creators! But when we dream, intend and action things, and they don’t happen as time passes, what happens to all our creative, infinite energy? Time is one of the three dimensions we get to learn and play with, as part…

Our Relationship to Time, Sets Our Truths
The New Moon in Capricorn opens up a little contemplation of our relationship and experience with time, especially with the coming to 2025. In this video I share a short passage from a Alan Lightman’s Einstein’s Dreams. Capricorn energy is often felt as heavily material, obvious, and 3D. Its...

Bridging What Is Separate
The Gemini Full Moon is on December 15th. 2024. It’s a truly delightful invitation we receive from the Universe to bring our higher and lower minds into coherence, through the transformational practice of Allowance. Separating our spiritual self, activities and perspectives from those are not,...

"Why Has God Abandoned Us!"
In exploring Mysticism, we eventually have to face Great Mysteries, and the roots of our deep-seated, often ancient beliefs and patterns that lie there. One such root I had to face is the abandonment of a Higher Power that I felt. In this video I share the emotional journey of my experience with...

Alchemizing Frustration | Coming to Truth & Power Within | Liberation

Where Power Lies Across Time
I re-started online dating some weeks ago. It is often not a place that feels particularly powerful. For me, my past with dating held the template where power lay solely with my needs and wants. After a while, it evolved and started to lie with other people (whether they wanted it or not). I…

Releasing Projections & Pulling Our Power Back
I’ve been dating for the last few months and have felt disinterest, short-lived excitement and frustrations. This led me to face some inner truths, especially around wounding and projecting on others. This is what I learned: when the locus of our power stems from our need, our lack and unmet...

Living Our Power—Learning from the Scorpion, the Snake & the Phoenix
This video starts with a small honouring to our Ancestors, the ones who have walked before us. I share this because when we accept where we have come from, we get to know who we are and can make more empowered choices on where we want to go. We then move into the power and transformation animal...

Being Liberated by the Power of Our Deep Truths
As Libra season gives way to Scorpio, we meet the trinity of Truth, Power and Transformation with this archetype. In this video, we look at the power-over dynamic which we see almost everywhere in our world, that we have inherited, and that is probably still alive for each of us. I share some…
