Stable foundations & pausing to breathe & accept life as it is.

Life has her own rhythm. It isn’t always the rhythm I want but more & more I see plan changes are an opportunity to practice dancing in harmony with life.

We spent the weekend prepping the foundations for a beautiful new geodesic dome that had been scheduled to arrive this week. But I received news today shipping has been delayed & our plans for building the dome on the weekend cancelled.

So it’s time to pause and breathe. And I’ve found myself with space to pause & recommit to this build being a joyful, slow and prayer filled one even though it’s not when I’d hoped it would be.

Even though it’s extra work and time and money. And even though it means it will be a little longer till our 2026 event dates are released.

But it’s ok.

Over the last few years I’ve placed a lot of pressure on myself to keep going when things got hard. I needed to know I could do hard things and I’m grateful to have that trust in my bones again.

But doing hard things is different to pushing through in resistance. Resisting life’s rhythm is painful and exhausting & takes away from the joy of living and creating.

I want to savour the process of creating this sacred space. To feel the joy of being in service to something bigger than me.

And I want to leave space for other hands and hearts to joyfully come to help us breathe this next chapter of Heart of Rest to life too.

So long story short 2026 dates are coming soon….

In the meantime you’ll find me remembering my why for Heart of Rest.

Planting seeds for strong beautiful gentle spaces where we can put down old stories and midwife our Soul Home into the here and now.

And I’m curious has your Heart been touched by something I’ve shared over the years. Or an event you’ve attended at Heart of Rest?

Will you help me to remember Why these gentle spaces are so precious to you too?

I’d love to share your words & gratitude with the land while we’re building something new ♥️♥️

Take a breath & get lost in the moment with me?

This was one of my moments last weekend… on Sunday morning to sit, to breathe, to receive, to be.

Pausing to appreciate the fullness of life right now. That’s the beauty of ritual - it brings a reverence to the rhythms of life. It doesn’t make life any less full or make the challenges go away. But it can help to build our resources to meet the moments of trickiness and trust there are seasons of fullness and seasons of emptiness and sweetness too.

Want to come breathe with me and take a moment to let go of this weird urgency that builds this time of year?

🌱 Sunday 23 November 6-8pm Deep Rest
🌿Saturday 20 December 6-8.30pm Sumner Solstice Cacao Ceremony

Or if you’d prefer some support to pause at home join me for our Online Yoga Nidra & Nervous System Care sessions. We began on Monday but it’s not too late to join as you can listen to the recordings in your own time ♥️♥️♥️

Letting go of urgency allows the opportunity to receive life in this moment. To be replenished and nurtured by life.

What is the real cost of the hustle and urgency culture we’re living in right now?

So much talk about what we need to do to take care of ourselves.

But what if we’re too full of urgency to even receive the gifts life is offering us in this moment?

Take a pause.
A breath.
A moment.
To be here now.

Your to do list isn’t going anywhere
Christmas will come and go
And projects will roll over to the new year

The cost of urgency is so much bigger than we acknowledge.
Because the cost is living
Actually living
Here in this moment
With each other.

Join me for 4 weeks of Yoga Nidra and Nervous System Care online starting tomorrow night or anytime after if you can’t or don’t want to join in live. The sessions will be recorded so you can listen in your own time.

Practices to support you in Pausing. Being. Breathing. And making yourself available to receive life in this moment.

Have you felt the quickening of the year end sneak in yet? That sense there just isn’t quite enough time to get to everything asking for your attention.

How are you caring for your nervous system during the busy season?
How is your sleep?
What do you do in the hours before heading to bed?

Would you consider giving yourself permission to have someone else guide you in a deep relaxation practice?

Maybe it could help you put down the to do list and allow your body and mind time to unravel the tension of the day before bed so you can receive the regenerative gifts of deep sleep.

Every year in the lead up to Christmas I offer a series of slow mindful practices to support us all (yes I also need the reminder to unravel!) in carving out precious moments for Being.

This year I’m bringing the focus to sleep preparation and caring for our nervous system and I’m offering it online so you can listen in your own time and without needing to drive anywhere.

Join me for 4 weeks of Yoga Nidra and Nervous System Care. 90 minutes each week on a Monday night.

🌿Starting Monday 20th November 🌿

Join live on Zoom from 6-7.30pm each Monday night or listen to the replay in your own time.

You’ll be guided in gentle, simple breathing and somatic movement practices to support your physical body in unravelling tension & finding inner safety.

Then you’ll be guided in a 45 minute Yoga Nidra practice including intention setting and body sensing. Yoga Nidra is a practice to allow each body part to relax while keeping your awareness in the space of not quite asleep, not quite awake.

Yoga nidra can create a hypnagogic state, where brain waves slow and the body is essentially asleep while the mind remains aware.

No previous experience needed. Just book your place, find a quiet space to practice at home and I’ll send you all the info on how to join the live call or access the replay.

You deserve a moment to Breathe and Be ♥️
