Change happens naturally when we allow ourselves to feel.

So often we stay stuck in a pattern — psychologically, emotionally, or even externally — because we get lost in the story of what is happening instead of actually feeling it.

The very first step in changing our reality is to drop the storyline and delve deeper into the felt sense in the body — change will naturally follow. 💛

Last week we had our very first community gathering here on our property in Wilson’s Creek.

We sat in a circle, with a shared altar to which we brought our own ornaments to add to the space.

At some point in our meeting, someone mentioned not having thought of the concept of ‘community’ as being something different from what we were already doing — caring for the land, supporting each other, and attuning to the whole — which says a lot about community being an expression of our human nature; it’s nothing added or created.

Despite the already established felt sense of community we carried as a group, there is always something quite profound and sacred about gathering in a circle that goes beyond our individual selves and the group.

There is a tangible and profound connection to something much deeper and timeless — one that includes nature, our ancestors, and the unknown — and it goes far beyond our individual selves.

The impacts of gathering in a circle with shared intention feel so natural and so foundational to our well-being that I can see how much we lose by not having more opportunities like this in our society.

May we continue to carry this expression of ancient wisdom and not dismiss the power it has to transform our relationship with mystery and the sacred. 💛🌱

So often we search for direction outside ourselves — in advice, books, or others’ opinions — forgetting that our own body holds the guidance we need.

As we reconnect with interoception and learn to listen inwardly, clarity begins to unfold naturally. 💛

Knowing Beyond Thought 🌿

I’ll be offering a talk tomorrow at Lennox Meditation on the theme of direct knowing — the kind of wisdom that arises not from thinking, but from being in intimate contact with our lived experience.

Awakening is an embodied process — a coming home to presence and to the truth that reveals itself when we rest in awareness rather than analysis.

If this theme speaks to you, I’d love you to join.
All are welcome. 💛

Tiny update from the past couple of months.

A lot of movement.

A new home. A new community. A new lifestyle.

A shift in priorities.

Lots of Creativity.

And, most of all — slowness and self-care.

Grateful for life’s gifts and challenges. 💛🌱

Healing unfolds not through striving, but through softening into what is. When we welcome our inner experience with curiosity, transformation happens naturally.

One of my favourite Zen sayings. 🌙

We can read all the books, take all the courses… but in the end, the journey is about coming home to ourselves — to this moment, this breath, this body. 💛

My next Tension and Trauma Release TRE® Workshop coming up tomorrow Saturday 20th Sept 2025 in Mona Vale, NSW.

TRE® is a wonderful method that supports the release of deeply held patterns of tension, stress and even trauma. Also, it supports deepening the connection with your body and mind, leading to a greater sense of presence, grounding and ease.

👉🏻 What is TRE?

TRE consist of six gentle exercises that are designed to stress the psoas muscle that reply purely on the body’s natural ability to trigger tremors. This releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this natural mechanism is activated in a safe environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. This therapeutic tremoring helps the body release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and even trauma.

The TRE Workshops are a great opportunity for you to learn and experience the TRE® method within safe environment.

See details of the session below, booking link via events section.

📍Date: Saturday 20th Sept 2025
📍Location: 63 Bassett Street, Mona vale 2103
📍Time: 10:30-12:00pm
📍Cost: $45

I would love to see you there. Come relax and unwind with me.

Love
Renata

Slowing down is the prerequisite to living in alignment with the truth of who we really are.

It is by doing less, not more, that we create space for our authentic self to be revealed. 💛

Awakening is only complete if it includes our full humanity. 💛

Most of our suffering doesn’t come from life itself, but from resisting the way things are.

Life is unpredictable. Everything changes. Our bodies are fragile, our nervous systems sensitive. These truths aren’t the problem, it’s our resistance to them that creates struggle.

When we accept change, let go of clinging, and stop taking our reactions so personally, life softens. We find joy not by controlling life, but by surrendering to it, moment by moment.💛
