Grief and Gratitude, how do we hold the complexity of this world we live in,the global events/crises, the personal challenges in our bodies, relationships, lives? Often our parts want the world to be all or nothing, a fairy tale ending, and part of the healing journey is understanding the complexity of being human in these times. May you, as shares in the Wild Edge of Sorrow find ways to release and express your grief, (and anger etc) AND to express and share your gratitude and joy for what is here in this moment. All emotions belong, all are welcome. May you have many moments of curiousity, compassion, courage and creativity with people you care about and in connection with the parts of Mother Earth you care about. I’m having a digital detox to be with grief and gratitude as we transition into the New Year- see you in January 🙏🏼🌱🤗

Thankyou for this post. This could be on of the most accurate visual depictions of therapy I’ve seen, a key question always, in every therapy session is how do we increase our capacity to be with the stress of living in this world at this time? 🙏🏼🌱😊

Really looking forward to gathering this evening to cultivate some Active Hope in a community of practice. Brene Brown in her research found that hope is a thinking process that can be cultivated. Joanna Macy from understood that we need community spaces to allow our grief for what is happening in the world in order to cultivate hope. For our first gathering we’re going to be writing /creating a love letter to Mother Earth with sentence starters from the Active Hope Spiral inspired by my friend Alice🙏🏼😊🌱 I found these beautiful prayer flags of gratitude and hope in Lenah Valley recently, such a great thing to do, eapecially watching the plants begin to burst forth with new life 🙏🏼🌱😊

And just like that Spring has Sprung! Wintering can feel like we’re on pause, resting in the dark, tending to our roots, waiting- this winter I found waiting challenging and long! Then Whoosh it seems so sudden buds, blossoms, flowers, sunshine, a little more warmth, skies are blue, I even saw a seal celebrating in the river!! I’m curious what’s springing into life around you? Or within you? Yesterday I started a new part-time job working with refugees and new migrants, amazing watching a seed sprout and grow!!! Excited for this new challenge and looking forward to continuing to see private clients too 😊🙏🏼🌱

What does living a contented life mean to you? Is it possible to experience moments of grief, gratitude and joy and feel content even as we deal with our individual life issues and global issues? This is one of the questions we get curious about in - how is it possible to hold complexity, the both/and, our grief and our hope? This leads to some deep transformational conversations for our Self and our parts, love IFS work 🙏🏼😊🌱 and thank you for this quote #

Often in Life, (and often in )we’re trying to work out how to get from an old way of being to a new way of being, or embrace something new that is out of our comfort zone whether that’s a new relationship, new habit, new job, new place to live… And this takes a lot of Courage, Curiousity, Compassion with many of our scared parts within saying ‘No stick with what we know, stay the same!’ This language of parts is so helpful for explaining why we as humans find change so difficult! And the hardest part of any journey of change is the transition phase- where we feel we can’t go back and we are too scared to go forwards!! 🫤 This can happen even as we bushwalk in nature! 🌱🍃 I wanted to share a couple of weekends ago I was on and I’d walked a long way when I came across these patches of ice on the track- very beautiful, but for me, very scary, as when I was 13, I slipped on a rock and had terrible concussion….so slippery rocks are something I deeply fear! I had to stand there and ponder my options- if I turned back it would be a very, very, long walk….if I moved forward (out of my comfort zone), I’d need to go very slowly and carefully, feeling my way with each step! I had to reassure my scared parts that we would cross slowly and safely and then I tentatively took step by step not knowing if I would be able to make it!! I was very relieved to make it to the other side, 3x !!!, building up confidence with each step. And this is often what we need to do with a new challenge, reassure our scared parts and take it step by step, slowly and carefully. So I’m curious what’s your current challenge? And what’s the next slow and careful step to the other side?
