- Happy Autumn Equinox -

Today marks our Southern Coast Equinox. It’s the time of the calendar wheel where the length of our day and night is equal.

It’s the moment where we celebrate the quiet balance between our light and dark.

These seasonal changes offer us opportunities to check in on where our humanness fits into it all. Nature is transitioning. So we are asked to follow her lead. You will notice Earth’s energy is moving downwards and inwards. Trees are dropping their leaves to the ground in order to feed into the soil. Today’s equinox asks us to contemplate our relationship with balance. And to consider what we too can drop into the compost of our journey.

Tomorrow’s dawn brings the gentle shift into our longer nights. With the ground so dry and the light moving away, we are reminded of the impermanence of Life itself.

It’s time to let go of the excess,
it’s time to shed.

So get ready to get out of the skin that doesn’t fit you anymore. Anything that is too small, too big, or just doesn’t make you feel like a rockstar,

Get ready to take it off.
Be bold enough to get out of it.

Trust that what’s coming for you is nothing short of fabulous. Let yourself be held by Nature herself.

Her colour palate to dress you in is divine.

Ok peeps,

Our March full moon is about to shine. This One’s aligning with our Virgo crew AND she’ll be eclipsed in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

Tonight our Moon offers a gentle gesture to park up and step away from the inner critic. The perfectionist the control freak and the over thinker in you are kinda being asked in vibration to f**k off.

Eclipses are powerful times to release what’s not serving you right now. So if shadow Virgo energy runs deep within you, cut yourself a little slack.

Remember, if it doesn’t align with your higher values and how you want Life to feel, it’s not for you. Let it go.

So tonight. Find the Earth within you.
Get onto it in bare feet.
Stand loud and proud.

I’ll be howling with you. xx

Happy New Moon peeps.

Yep, she’s in Pisces. So the vibe is kinda dreamy. Sleep may be pretty wacko and thoughts really vivid. Intuitive gut forces are strong and today, they won’t want to be denied.

All this means you maybe feeling:

- spacey
- foggy
- emotional
- tired
- asking too many big questions

Or. Let’s flip it and You are allowing:
- room for intuition
- thinner veils between the realms
- being real
- trusting yourself to unravel
- asking the questions we collectively need

Get near some water my friends.
Let’s float and flow together xx

Our Autumn retreat is more than a sleepover with a yoga sesh or 2

Woven into the tapestry of the considered and quiet asana practices, you will find endless invitations to contemplate and integrate the work we do.

Included in your 3 day immersion are infra-red sauna sessions. Usually, saunas are genius little sweaty spaces traditionally designed for deep relaxation and detoxification. However THIS sauna space is cocooned within the Otway ecosystem. Offering opportunity to settle into and BE an integral part of the intelligent forest masterpiece.

A gentle reminder that beauty is not something we merely observe.
It’s something that we are an intimate part of.

Let us hold space for your system to remember itself.

Today we are under the magic full moon of Leo.

Ruled by the Sun and under the element of Fire, Leo’s energy is loud and proud. This moon is asking us to remember our purpose and to honour our process. Her energy is one of strength and confidence. She gifts us an opportunity to embody our own inner Lion - our King / Queen of the jungle.

Today is about remembering the power that you are.
To step up and lead the pack.

So get out there pocket rockets.
Be the best You.
We’re ready.

Good Bye Tuesday

28/01/2025

So, today marks our first New moon of the Year down here on the Southern Coast. New Moons are thought to be the times in our cycle when the energies are ripe for new beginnings.

It’s our seed planting, dream wandering and truth speaking time.

This New Moon falls in the sign of Aquarius - the water bearer - and coincides with the Chinese New Year of the Snake.

The water bearing sign of Aquarius wants us to envision new realities and break free from old patterns or attachments. It marries nicely into Snake energy: that which embodies wisdom and introspection. Snakes are known for their ability to transform themselves and shed their skin.

All this suggests that we are moving into a pretty potent energy time. One that suggests transformation and renewal. And all this while remembering that hey, it’s not that we’re broken.

Rather, with this portal of deliberate, patient and powerful movement, we shed the s**t that Life sometimes throws at us while we pursue our deepest seed dreams, values and goals.

Happy new moon my sky gazing friends. xx
