The Goddess Healing Grove

11/13/2024

The Branches has been the studio for me for almost 10 years! I learn about my body with every class I take, I evolve as a teacher with every class I teach, and have learned so much about bodies in movement as I’ve taken many trainings with The Branches, this training being one of them.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out and I can share from my perspective, I also recommend reaching out to them with any questions too!

If you want to deepen the care you offer yourself, your community or your clients through restorative yoga, our restorative yoga immersion and training is the perfect opportunity to gain new experiences and skills.

This 45-hour training takes place over 3 weekends from January-March. It's not just for yoga teachers, it's also for all movement professionals, bodyworkers, psychotherapists, reiki practitioners, RMTs, acupuncturists, coaches, and caregivers.

The techniques of restorative yoga integrate resting postures, breathing techniques, and meditative relaxation, which combined allow the body to gently ease stiffness, gradually unwind tension, and find deep relaxation.

Facilitating this practice for others asks for sensitivity and grounding in YOU. You'll learn to settle your own nervous system in order to hold space for others as you guide them to do the same.

HEADS UP: We are only able to offer this program every other year, and spots are limited, so if you're interested (or want to chat with us about it) please get in touch so we can help you figure out if it's right for you.

Hello all!❤️🙌🏼🌸This is a message for my Reiki Level Two students.

I’m coming in today to share that I’ll be facilitating a ✨reiki master and teacher✨ course over the next year, starting in January 2025!

As of now (I’m still putting some things together) the training will be over 6 months, offered hybrid with some content in person (all Usui reiki manual content) and other workshops offered virtually (the legacy of light content).

It is a lineage mandate that you must have 2 or more years experience in level two before approaching the master and teacher levels. To give you context, I waited 5 years and built up my practice and worked with people to gain wisdom and experience before approaching the master level.

Mastership is about bringing your practice back to you. It’s a time to look at your own healing goals and needs, and to look even deeper at those needs to see if they align with your gift and specialty that you offer to others; even if you’re not planning on becoming a practitioner you still have gold to offer your communities. We will explore this all throughout the course.

If you’re interested in being in this cohort please reach out - even if we’ve spoken before please message to confirm. Deadline for sign up will be December 31/‘24.

✨🌀Why Breathwork?🌀✨

Taking a breath is the first thing we do when we come into this world and it’s the last thing we do when we leave the physical. And in-between the great beginning and end, we have so much power and possibility waiting at the very edges of our lungs.

Our breath is integrated into every system within the body, and yet most of our breath remains subconscious. Many of us know how to breathe to survive, but how many of us know how to breathe to thrive?

activates what we call meaning this style of breathwork shuts off the part of your brain ( cortex) that connects you to fear and triggers your analytical mind and ego dialogue.

When this area of the mind is temporarily shut down, breathwork enables you to enter a deep state in which you can access your subconscious mind and choose how to engage.

This is where, in work, a person can shift from an activated state to a down regulated nervous system. And where we can bring more awareness and regulation, we can actively choose how we want to be, and who we want to be.

Our hope is that we can hold safe space for you to experience feeling and being your true authentic self.

So much is possible.

✨Our Bodies Remember✨

Our bodies remember, even things our minds no longer want memory of.

Our bodies remember how we felt that day, with those words said.

Our bodies remember the falls and scrapes, even after the scars heal over.

Our bodies remember the feelings to the words of your favourite song in grade 7.

Our bodes remember everything.

So, how do we help let go and heal?

Some things are conscious and others are subconscious.

Some things can be freed by verbal acknowledgment and others fall off when we dance or dissolve through a Soundbath.

Our bodies remember.

What helps your body to move through, release, transcend, or integrate?

Share with me in the comments! I wanna know more about YOU and your process!

✨🌊🌀Water🌀🌊✨

I’ve been held within a spiral of steps, that when released have revealed opportunity for connection, rawness, and reclamation.

With each turn of the wheel revealed, I’ve felt myself getting stronger and sturdier. Taking in the ceremonies quietly and for myself was a treat and *necessary* this year after almost losing my life over the new year.

I’m about to go into a sacred ceremony and journey that has been gifted to me by Spirit and my Helpers. Standing where I am right now feels exciting and like I’m at the other side of new possibilities unfolding at my mere fingertips.

I’ll tell you all about it once I get back and after I marry some awesome people and can integrate fully. This journey I’m about to go on is related to everything in these photos. If you know don’t spill the beans yet! But I’m curious what people think this journey is about?

I’m most excited for how the joy and beauty will be revealed on this trip.

As I finish typing I hear myself wonder, “what do I want to share for YOU?” And I thought about it…so here goes:

When we can respond to the universe, meaning our current matrix of energy and energetic connections, we come into union with Creation and Spirit. It’s fu***ng unravelling, incredible, spiritual, energetic!! I’m a groupie for Creator, Spirit, and my Ancestors! I’m here leaving them food and secrets, hoping they’ll help guide me. I’m here for this connection! For this level of energy. And here’s the message, babe: I’m not special or deserving because of x y or z. I just show up and turn inward, then I ask. You can do that too! Maybe you already do. The message that I heard when I asked what needed to come through for YOU was: trust the voice, trust the feeling, it’s speaking directly from spirit to you. Listen. Act from that place of integrity and love.

✌🏼see ya on the other side, loves! And follow along on the journey in my stories❤️🌀🌻

🌻Mother Nature’s Gifts🌻

One of the most beautiful gifts of the home we have are the Goddess Gardens.

This year I’ve set up a flower drying table and I’m thinking it might stay up for the summer’s season.

With our gardens we have flowers blooming all season. So, I’m excited to try drying different flowers and see how they shift through their process.

Today’s walk has me saving poppies, peonies, yellow and pink roses.

Here we goooooo✨🌻✨

🌹An Initiation into the Sacred Feminine🌹

Recently I wrote a blog post about the sacred feminine and the role of archetypal medicine in feminine healing, embodiment, and initiation.

Here’s an excerpt from my blog…

“Since time immemorial our ancestors have been working with these spiritual infrastructures, embodying the characteristics and power of the Goddess to heal themselves and others, and align themselves to their greatest path. These infrastructures give us information through symbolism, somatic patterning, and spiritual teachings.

In my work with women in sacred space I have come to understand the power of the Goddess, “She of a thousand names”, in a new way. As women all over the world meet the Goddess in spiritual space, the Goddess appears to them in many forms, diverse in colour, symbolism, and meaning.

When a woman looks through a deck of Goddess cards, she will feel innate and intuitive attractions to different embodiments of the Sacred Feminine. She may not know why or she may be very aware of what activates her. These attractions and aversions are directly related to the archetypes and what medicine a person needs for their healing path.”

Mmm, giizhik, beloved cedar!

Good morning. Not that long ago, a beautiful Kwe gave me the name of Cedar Medicine Woman. At the time, I didn't understand it, but I sure have grown into it. I don't like to pick favourites...but Cedar....I love Cedar xo
