The sacred masculine and feminine are not opposites.
They are partners in a living dance.
The masculine brings presence, direction, and containment.

The feminine brings flow, intuition, and creative force.
When one dominates, the dance falters.
When one is suppressed, life loses rhythm.
In balanced union,
the masculine holds steady so the feminine can move freely.
the feminine inspires so the masculine knows where to stand and act.

This dance lives within us first.
In how we meet our emotions.
In how we take action without force.
In how we listen without losing ourselves.

From a shamanic lens, harmony is not perfection —
it is responsiveness.
A constant noticing.
A willingness to adjust, repair, and return to centre.
When the sacred masculine and feminine meet in balance,
our relationships soften,
our boundaries strengthen,
and our medicine moves through the world with integrity.

An odd swear word doesn’t make someone volatile.
Intensity doesn’t equal instability.
Passion isn’t the problem.
What does erode trust — within ourselves and with others — is a lack of accountability.

In shamanic practice, we learn that true power comes from relationship.
Relationship with our inner world.
Relationship with the people we walk alongside.
Relationship with the unseen.

We nurture healthy internal and external relationships by noticing what needs to shift, rather than projecting it outward, and in shifting if someone needs to scream and shout and swear and thrash then we allow it. Stifling emotion is far more unhealthy than expressing it fully, in a moderated and measured way within safe space.
We shift by taking responsibility for our energy, our wounds, our reactions.

By holding impeccable space — not bypassing, not rushing, not blaming — so the work can be fully felt, integrated, and transformed.
Accountability is medicine.
Presence is medicine.
Integrity is medicine.
This is how healing becomes embodied — not performative.
Not perfect.
But honest. 🌿

Don Alejandro Apaza is coming back to the UK in July 2026.
It all starts and ends with reciprocity ✨
Thinking back to this beautiful day, where we all gathered among the stones in love and integrity to hear the wisdom and share in the celebration of the sun 🌺🌿🌈

Don Alejandro Apaza comes from a long, unbroken lineage of Q’ero Paqos, wisdom keepers of the high Andes of Peru.

For generations, his family has carried the ancient knowledge of earth-honouring ceremonies, healing, and living in sacred reciprocity (Ayni) with Pachamama.
The Q’ero people are known as the “keepers of the Inca wisdom”, preserving their traditions through oral transmission, ritual, and lived relationship with the mountains (Apus), the elements, and the unseen world.
Within Don Alejandro’s family, this knowledge has been passed from grandparents to parents to children, not through books, but through ceremony, apprenticeship, and direct experience in nature. From a young age, Don Alejandro was initiated into this path, learning to listen to the land, the winds, and the spirits that guide the people of the Andes.

Today, he walks between worlds — honouring his ancestors while sharing these teachings internationally, so that the wisdom of the Q’ero may continue to live, breathe, and serve future generations.
We are deeply honoured to receive these teachings with respect, humility, and gratitude.

I mean it.
If the laughter stops, it’s a sure sign your inner and outer worlds have stopped spinning. They’re no longer turning, no longer dancing with life. Something has gone dead. Lifeless.
And the question is simple:
Do you really want to live like that?
A soulless existence where you go through the motions, quietly wondering what else is out there. Where curiosity fades. Where joy feels suspicious. Where aliveness is replaced by obligation, righteousness, or numb endurance.
Laughter is not frivolous.
It’s not a distraction from depth.
It’s a vital sign.
If there is laughter, it’s a sure sign you’re still in relationship with life. That your nervous system feels safe enough to play. That your spirit is moving. That your inner and outer worlds are still talking to each other.
Real medicine hums.
It breathes.
It laughs.
The hummingbird doesn’t lose its lightness on the path—it relies on it. Precision and joy. Discernment and delight. Nectar, not obligation.
So pay attention.
To the spaces you’re in.
To the teachers you follow.
To the work you’re doing.
To your own inner world.
If laughter is alive, stay close.
If it’s gone?
You already know.

The hummingbird teaches us discernment.
It doesn’t land on every flower.
It chooses only the nectar that truly nourishes.
Where in your life are you still feeding on what drains you?
This season, I’m inviting you to slow down…
listen to your body…
and choose what genuinely supports your growth 🌱
✨ What are you saying yes to that feels deeply nourishing right now?

👉 Comment with one word that represents nourishment for you

👉 Save this as a reminder to choose yourself

Stability is not rigid.
It’s the quiet consistency of showing up.
It’s the body knowing where home is.
It’s rhythm, repetition, safety.
In times of change, steadiness becomes medicine — for children, for nervous systems, for hearts learning to trust again.
Today I’m honouring the slow work of grounding, anchoring, and choosing what truly supports growth 🌱

The One Who Sees
In the jungle, the jaguar does not announce itself.
It moves quietly.
It tracks patiently.
It sees long before it is seen.
Those trained in ancient ways learn this too —
not to confront,
not to chase,
but to notice.
Awareness is a medicine.
Presence is protection.
And when the time comes,
the jaguar already knows the path home.

This July, we welcome Don Alejandro Apaza, a Q’ero Paqo from Peru, to the UK.
Don Alejandro carries living Andean lineage wisdom — teachings that come not from books, but from mountains, stars, earth, and direct transmission.
His visit is an invitation to remember:
🌿 our relationship with the natural world
🌿 the intelligence of the body and spirit
🌿 the power of simple, sacred ritual
During his time here, Don Alejandro will be offering teachings, ceremonies, and opportunities for deep personal healing.
This is not about learning something new —
it is about remembering something ancient.
✨ Dates, locations, and booking details will be shared soon.
If you feel the call, trust it.

Some teachings don’t travel often.
Some elders don’t come unless the timing is right.

This July, Maria of .yoga.soulpath and I have the honour of welcoming Don Alejandro Apaza, a Q’ero Paqo from Peru, to the UK.

His work carries an unbroken lineage of Andean wisdom — earth-based, precise, and deeply rooted in relationship with the mountains, the elements, and the living world.
This is not a performance.
It’s not a workshop you rush through.
It’s an opportunity to sit with medicine that has been tended for generations.
To listen more than you speak.
To remember what it feels like to be in right relationship — with yourself, with nature, and with spirit.

Don Alejandro’s visit in July is for those who feel the quiet pull rather than the loud call.
For those who know that some teachings arrive exactly when we’re ready to receive them.
More details coming soon 🌿
If this stirs something in you, trust that.

What actually happens in an osteopathy session?
Osteopathy is a hands-on, whole-body approach to healthcare.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we look at how the body works as an integrated system — muscles, joints, nerves, organs, circulation, and breath.

In a session, I may use gentle manual techniques to:
Improve joint mobility
Reduce tension and strain in soft tissues
Support circulation and nervous system regulation
Help the body return to balance and ease
Osteopathy can support people experiencing:
Back, neck, or joint pain
Persistent tension or headaches
Stress-related symptoms
Recovery from injury or strain
A sense of feeling “out of alignment” in the body
Treatment is tailored to you.

Some sessions are structural and dynamic, others slow and subtle — always guided by what your body needs on the day.

Osteopathy works with the body’s innate capacity to heal, supporting long-term change rather than short-term fixes.
If you’re curious, I’m always happy to answer questions or explore whether osteopathy might be right for you.
