By golly this feels scary.

There has been so much inner resistance around this - soo many reasons that I used to pull back.

But the truth is, something shifted over the last 48 hours. And when I know something, I really know it.

Some things happen quickly, it’s a like a switch is flicked and suddenly I’m chomping at the bit to get going.

The podcast was like this - I had the idea, chose a platform and recorded the first two episodes in one day.

And now, here I am, doing something I genuinely never thought I would do.

I’m retiring this account.

It’s time, my heart tells me, to truly begin.

This account is almost 10 years old - I created it when I was 19 years old.

And it contains the threads of every iteration I have been within that time.

My first un-captioned, Instagram-edited photos of my pets // My days when I dabbled at university // My beauty YouTuber days // My wellness blogger days // My I-don’t-really-know-who-the-hell-I-am days

And it always felt important for me to keep it all.

Deleting any of it seemed like a denial or a removal of all the different versions I have gone though to get to the Me I am today.

I kept every post as a badge of honour (even the cringy-est).

But here’s the thing.

There are a hell of a lot of threads from the past in this space.

There are a lot of ‘followers’ from each and every phase who just won’t be aligned with who I am and the work I do now (if they were to actually SEE my posts in their feed at all!)

I COULD do a clear out - but honestly, why do I strive to hold on?

This heart of mine is growing; it’s clearer than its ever been.

It’s been shedding and opening; and it’s masterfully been taking me along for the ride.

My vision is clearer. My voice is stronger.

And it’s time.

To begin.

Truly and fully.

Without ties to the past.
Without the clutter of what-has-been.

I honour the way the space has held me.

And as I put it to rest, I’m stepping into clear, luscious, more expansive lands.

Come and meet me where the kindling has been laid, and the fire has just been lit.

I’d love for you to pull up a stump and join me

Three ceremonies. Three gatherings. A date with the Sacred that you can pencil into your calendar each month. Perhaps you notice the butterflies in your belly as each ceremony approaches; the gift of anticipation, imagination and time devoted to yourself.

This is a simple space. Picture yourself arriving, cuppa in hand. I’ve already built the fire, but I’m throwing another log on for good measure. You sense the rest of our wild kin gathering too.

There’s nothing for you to do. Nothing you need to know or learn.

In fact, in a world obsessed with growing, improving and moving onto the next thing/course/book, Wild Kin is a place to grow still. And deepen. To re-member the wisdom of your body, heart, womb, imagination, soul.

We arrive, and we got on a journey together. You can ease your hands off the wheel, as I guide you in.

If you feel this resonance within your being, if Wild Kin is speaking to you somewhere in that beautiful body and soul of yours, I invite you to join us.

The doors are open, and your wild kin are already gathering.

As of today you can take your spot around the fire for the special early bird price. The link in the bio will take you there.

The May Vibes 🍂

Better late than never 😛

The vibes are strong, the call is deep.

Anchoring roots, doing the Things, finding nourishment by the Hearth.

What does May hold for you, beautiful soul?

Adding another to the list of must-read books🩸

I had to stop myself highlighting every page 🙊

I’ll be coming back to the wisdom in these pages for a long while.

And the whole time as I sat reading it, I pictured myself handing this book to my daughter one day 🤍 The mark of a true Guide.

Have you read Red Moon? 🩸

Happy Earth day 🌱

All my sentiments are wrapped up in the most beautiful words which you can read in the 2nd slide 🤎

There is much to do.

But re-membering how to be in humble relationship with the world around us starts very small.

A garden is a balm.
A seed is a miracle.
A plant is kin.

And today, like every day, I choose hope that we re-member. One heart, after another. So that we, our children, and our children’s children, know what it is to be in and of this earth. That we weave ourselves back into her wild embrace and know our Home and Place in it all 🤎

I’d love to know your favourite ways to connect with the earth + weave yourself back into nature! Pop em in the comments! 👇🏻

Can you surrender the high energy of inner Spring and Summer in complete trust?

Can you let the shift into Autumn happen without resistance KNOWING that, in its cyclic nature, the energy WILL return?

AND can you not only surrender to knowing that the ‘high vibes’ will return, but ALSO in complete trust of what the descent itself holds for you?

The descent is the surrender.

The Autumn and Winter phase of any cycle cannot be forced or controlled. You can’t decide what it’s going to teach you or how long it will last.

THAT is the ultimate medicine. In whatever way, and in whichever area of you life, there will always be an element of surrender and letting go in order to BE MOVED and changed. Divinely changed. Something is always cast aside in order to make space for something new.

The change that comes within these times are not by your own choice. They come by the creative forces of life and death that know exactly what needs to die in order for new life to sprout.

And that can be scary for us humans. That goes against our immediate better judgment because of the way we’ve been brought up to seek and value consistency and certainty.

But our cycle TEACHES us to trust this rhythm.

It teaches us to EMBODY this rhythm. To know and recognise the different shifts.

It teaches us to pay attention and learn what is most supportive to us throughout these phases.

A new moon-th. A new mood-board 🍂

April for me feels quiet AND expansive.

I’m feeling called to quieten my external output and projection (juuust a little) in order to focus on all that is brimming within ✨

And there is MUCH brimming.

Ideas and creations that have been yearning to be brought into tangible form. This is the month that I’m honouring them.

It feels as though April has some big lessons and reveals in store - and will ask me to reach my edges and be willing to take up space there.

To drop into the places I’ve ignored, avoided or escaped in the past and be willing to lean in there.

To stay firm in my commitment, while remaining soft, soft, soft.

Devotion over discipline.

Full-hearted commitment.

Just wait until you see what is ready to be birthed as we see out the end of this month 🙏🏻🙌🏻🔥

Your desires are the holy fire which lights your path - follow them

Aries New Moon - Friday 1st April @ 5:24pm AEDT

Aries is the initiator.

It’s the first sign of the zodiac and heralds the new astrological year - a new cycle, a beginning.

But Aries is not so much the ‘marker’ of the new year, as it is the *spark* of new life itself.

Aries is hot and fiery. It lands feet first and ready to hit the ground running. It comes with drive, passion, motivation. It’s head strong, ready and willing to meet any challenge.

The mantra for Aries is “I will…”

It holds its mission clear in its sights. Aries holds passion and conviction in what it is here to do. It knows its purpose + objective and is intent on making its mark.

This new moon is calling you to recognise your desires as the holy fire that sets your path ablaze.

Notice where you stifle your inner flame. Pay attention to where you feel frustration in your life.
And how might this relate to the action (or inaction) that you’re taking in your life?

Aries comes this full moon to stoke the fire of your soul purpose and ignite the desires which are leading you toward it. Wait no more, it says. It’s time to begin. It’s time to blaze forth with a fire in your heart.

Give yourself the opportunity to think a little less and honour the desire that’s igniting within you. Sometimes we need to take ourselves by surprise, to leap into the flames and become who we long to be.

You’re going to want to listen to this week’s episode of Weaving the Wild!

In it we explore:
➳ The power that Aries energy stokes within
➳ The shadow of Aries (and how to recognise it)
➳ Action + alignment to soul-full purpose
➳ Energies of the fierce warrior + childlike innocence
➳ Powerful practices to align with this new moon

☾ Plus so much more ☾

TEND TO YOUR FOUNDATIONS

Whenever things feel rocky and you find yourself on shaky ground, return to your foundations.

Find your strongest roots and let them anchor you back into place.

Ground. Open your windows. Wake up with the sun. Look up at the moon. Dance while you cook.

Return to simplicity. Let the basic things in life nourish you deeply.

Never underestimate the power of:

☀️ Plenty of water
☀️ Prioritising sleep
☀️ Fresh, nutrient dense food
☀️ Moving + stretching your body
☀️ Laughter - the very best medicine

Tend to yourself always.

Just because you keep meeting the same lesson over and over again, it doesn’t always mean you aren’t learning and growing.

Our healing is not linear.
Neither is our inner growth.

Our wounds, confusions and life-long lessons aren’t always meant to be healed and ticked off the list.

Some lessons are present in our lives to be consistently integrated and embodied. Deeper and more clear each time we face them.

It is a humbling experience.
And entirely necessary ♥︎

We tend to judge ourselves, get frustrated or slip into despair (“Is it ever going to end..?”) when we discover that we haven’t ‘overcome’ a past challenge like we’d thought. When we find ourselves facing a new version of the same old story/lesson.

But this is one of the (many) ways a linear mindset does us a disservice.

I have had the blessing of working with some of my clients for many months (close enough to a year) and while the journey is varied, each one mostly revolves around 2 -3 core threads. Stories and beliefs that require unravelling. Over and over again the appear in our conversations.

But the woman I see meeting these stories now is, without a doubt, an entirely different person to the one who sat before me 9 months prior.

We are cyclic beings.

We spiral our way through life.

Always circling back to the same points, each time from a different (deeper) perspective.

When we move with consciousness.
When we process and integrate.
When we seek to learn, we always will.

I like to think that we break open a new layer, every time we ‘learn’.
And there’s a certain type of reassurance in knowing that, when the time does roll around and I DO face this lesson again, I’m equipped with everything I’ve learned so far.

And that’s the beauty of living a cyclic life.

This is how we learn to meet ourselves.

Over and over again.

This is where we meet our own Power.

Over and over again.

Let your soul-full expression to flow with devotion

Virgo Full Moon - Friday 18th March @ 6:17pm AEDT

This full moon marks the end, a culmination. And deep healing.

As our final full moon of the astrological year, it invites BIG release before we step into a brand new year.

As it falls just days prior to the Equinox, it weaves balance + harmony back into our lives. (The Autumn Equinox invites us to look at what must be shed + let go in order to create this balance in our lives.)

Woven within all of this energy, is the magick that Virgo rouses as she ignites the full moon.

Virgo is the goddess - she represents the energy of sovereignty + service.

She invites you to tune into your soul-gift (what you came here to share with the world). To bring it into tangible form.

In her highest vibration, Virgo channels the divine into the material world (first through the temple of our body, then our actions).

This full moon asks us to reflect + tend to the areas where our channel is blocked, stuck or stagnant. Where do you hold back, resist or hide? How are you stopping the flow of your own soul-full expression in your life?

Virgo teaches the importance of details. How we show up + what we do every day matters. It’s time to clear any habits that do not serve + focus on those which contribute to your higher vision.

Virgo calls us to focus on creating structure + order so that the energy of our gifts can easily flow + touch the world.

She asks you to surrender the things you cannot control to the universe, along with the doubt + fear that clogs the flow of your gifts + soul-full expression.

You’ll want to listen to this week’s episode of Weaving the Wild!

In it we explore:
➳ The divine role of the Goddess + Virgo
➳ The dynamics of the Pisces/Virgo axis
➳ The shadow of Virgo (inc. control + self-doubt)
➳ Powerful practices to connect with Virgo

☾ Plus so much more ☾
