Feel privileged to have held a Candlelit Candle End of Year Close Ceremony with friends from my community last night.

Grateful for each and everyone of them for sharing her space and all we have done together this year, for her honesty, for her beautiful presence and for bringing her mum Wendy, and for EVERYTHING.

Sharing Winter Wisdom and the value in pausing and resting to make space for integration and celebration of all the big and small moments in life. Allowing us to see out properly the year that has been. Without rushing on too fast to the next.

Offering a Winter Yoga Nidra inspired by ’s Inner Winter Nidra, seeing the body as the night sky with a constellation of stars of visionary awareness twinkling expansively on all the body parts named in the Nidra and creating a liminal space for dreaming and visioning.

And leading a Somatic Walking the Year Ritual, created by my dear that I experienced on the New Years Renewal Retreat in 2023/4 with .e.jackson that brought me such peace and clarity that I wanted to share with others.

Sending much love as you close this year out, for all the seen and unseen growth and experiences you may have felt this year. I’m not one for the new year resolutions Gregorian calendar vibe, but the collective energy is strong, so working with it in a conscious intentional way.

Blessings and love for all that need it today or tonight. Enjoy the rest or the revelry whatever you choose. Closing this message with the poem I read to close our circle.

The Crone of Winter, by Molly Remer

Just for right now,
let the swirling soften.

Exhale into the day,
wherever you are,
whatever is happening.

Allow a cloak of comfort
to settle across your shoulders
and enfold you
with peace and restoration.

Draw up strength from the earth
beneath your feet.

Settle one hand on your belly
and one hand on your heart.

Feel the pulse of the sacred
you always carry within.

Breathe in
and know you are loved.

Breathe out
and know you are free.

Trust that you are carried
and enfolded
as you go along your way.

The christmas, advent, winter solstice vortex- when the days blur, family life swirls all around you every minute, and magic lives in the twinkly lights and memories created I n the darkness. ✨

A random snapshot of some of the things we have been up to as I’ve been largely offline soaking it all in ❤️

Holding. Closing. Friendship and Love ❤️

As the year cycles towards an end, as we approach the centre of the spiral and the darkest point in the Northern Hemisphere at the Winter Solstice, themes of release, making space for what is new, closing and ending seem to be everywhere.

The most perfect moment for Closing the Bones Ceremony for a powerhouse of a woman Nikki to seal her postpartum chapter with her daughter Amara Sage. Just over a year ago after we held her Mother Blessing, with Amara in her belly, at the same location , making it a special full circle moment.

The love that I have for this woman is indescribable, unknowingly she seems to have entered my heart in the most charming and beguiling way. I’ve spent time with her regularly at my Mama and baby sessions, watching them grow, unravel and reform again, with the greatest grace and compassion for themselves and other women around them. Being in Nikki’s company is like stepping into light, and when you have my friendship you never lose it, so I know ours is here to stay.

A Closing the Bones ceremony is one of my favorites to do as it honours the messy, the challenging, the sacred liminal space of postpartum, usually overlooked and unseen in our society. The one that tests us, breaks us and reforges us into a new version of ourselves from the sacred chaos.

Best known as from coming from South America it is a cultural rite of passage that has roots in many cultures. Showing us that the physiological and psychological needs of a woman are similar wherever they are from.

It allows a mother to release whatever needs closure, while honouring the work mothers do—growing, birthing, sacrificing, and reminds us of their value as the caretakers of future generations.

Rebozos (thick woven cloths) are wrapped tightly around the body, closing the physical bones, calling energy back in. Bringing a mother back into body, back to herself.

It can be done months or years after birth and can actually be used to symbolically close any life chapter—relationships, jobs, menopause.

Thank you Nikki and all the other women who co-created this together, it was an honour ❤️

Moments of joy of this month. The practice of celebrating, can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but the more you do, the more you invite in ✨

3. Jake working on the school Christmas stall, raising money for the end of term trip, selling decorations to his Grandma

20. Walking home from the Forrest as the sun sets.

And now the sun sets on November, and we head into Yule season, the twinkly, magical month of December.

My intention is to use this month to fully nestle into the darkness. Using softness, rest and slowness as a means to energetically expand in my business and finances. Which I know sounds counterintuitive but I have a sense it’s possible, let’s see ❄️plus all the magic with my family of course, excited. 💫

This week I’ve been thinking “I haven’t done ANY real work on my projects, I’m falling behind, there’s so much to do and I’m not doing any of it”— and then this morning in my practice, I caught myself.

Because I had been working. Just not in the way the world measures it.

I’d been looking after my sons being sick. Navigating bureaucratic labyrinths that drain your soul (NIE renewal 😱if you know you know).
Winterizing our home so we’re safe and warm.
Supporting the community as we prepare for the school stand at the Christmas Fira this weekend.
Managing the thousand invisible tasks that keep life from unraveling.

And I needed to get quiet to remind myself: This IS the work.

The work that sets the tone for my family’s wellbeing.

The work that creates the foundation from which we all launch into the world.

The work that — when it’s not done — everything else crumbles, especially in these busy build up to thanksgiving/ christmas/ holiday time.

So for all the mums, women, dads, holding it together behind the scenes: I see you.

Your work is not less valuable because it doesn’t show up on a CV. It’s not less real because no one applauds it. It’s not less exhausting because society has decided to call it “just life admin.”

You are building the infrastructure of human flourishing, one unsexy task at a time.

And that is everything.

Uff - is it me or has the world just stepped up a gear?

Expansion is happening everywhere right now!

Works busy, life’s busy, christmas is just around the corner and suddenly everything feels FULL ON.

Here’s one thing I try to do when life feels at capacity to make sure I can keep all the balls spinning.

It’s not speed up.

It’s slow down.

Slow down to the speed of clarity.

To place where you can hear yourself.

To the place below all the noise, where you can commune with something beyond the mind and the busy mental chatter.

To the place where the things that truly matter can be heard.

Then suddenly the rest falls into line.

Find those moments, get that clarity, and energetically things will change and shift. How you approach. How you react. How you “do” the busy will be different.

And I bet it will seem easier too.

Sending love, until next time in circle,

Jo x

Weekly check-ins; One of my favourite rituals of the week on a Monday morning, that in .club asks us to do, is a weekly check in ✨

Writing out and sharing our from the week just gone our
- Wins
- Challenges
And
- Intentions for the week ahead

It’s a powerful and simple process that is keeping me focussed and on track and in a more positive state.

Here’s some of mine from last week:

Wins
* ran 5k race and enjoyed it!
* epic fun weekend of friends, kids activities, and self care
* powerful session with Mel
* said no to an event that wasn’t working out
* Helpful social media audit session with Kat .kat.river , supported Nick get a plan for his business
* Nick helped me get products and payment integration on website

Challenges
* difficult, frustration and premenstrual energy at start of week- disconnection and arguments
* Didn’t do any of the financial defense on list
* Little progress on bloom course

Intentions

* Upgrade house calmly, builder coming in

For me it invites in acknowledgement and celebration, while keeping me moving in the right direction.

Do you do something like this? Would love to hear. If not, why not give it a try… do it for a month and I’m sure you’ll notice changes. You can do a monthly overview one too as it’s helpful to cross reference. Small habits, big changes ✨
