Happy hot chocolate day (just learned it’s a thing!)
bit if you know me well, you will know that one of my foundational beliefs is EVERY DAY IS HOT CHOCOLATE (CEREMONIAL CACAO) DAY.
Here’s an important reminder that the sacred does not ask for seeming perfection, and LOVES real, raw & dirty.
Love you. x
P.S. I’m using - it’s one of my faves & you can use the code “ookushana” for a discount!

I’m almost 40 & I still need holding like a baby.
Cheers to daddy & space holder 🙏
I hope this helps someone today.
Day 1 attempting to dissolve the illusion of needing to show up with absolute presence and without distraction… and allow myself to create and share from my current reality with very real background noise… perhaps sponsored by 😂

This has taken about 5 days to create when the babies are sleeping & I had to delete so many slides to make it fit 😂
I decided to keep some of the juiciest ones for you!
It’s wild to think this does not seem very long ago, and it feels like lifetimes have passed!
Which slide is your fave?
& which alterego would you like to meet most?
It has been cathartic and activating to reminisce, and I’ve been sitting with the question “what does it mean to live?”
Cheers 2016. You were a special one - devoted to life and love 🫶

An important topic - dear to my heart and requiring a lot more spaciousness for nuance IMO.
Holding space for someone else’s healing asks for presence, context, and relational intelligence.
Knowing when to hold. Knowing when to name.
Knowing when to reflect.
Knowing when to guide. Knowing when to wait.
And the kind of knowing I speak of goes beyond knowledge, what is written and/or any method or perspective.
This is the work beneath any method: the art of being an informed and intuitively-led space holder for healing.
This is one of the many topics I explore with my medicine women and mentees.
Rooted only in perhaps my most important teaching this lifetime: There is no one right way 🕯️
Ultimately, honing and trusting your discernment is what leads to meeting the highest potential of your medicine and space holding.

Somewhere along the spiritual path there is a game-changing shift… an awakening that anchors us deeper into our humanity.
Meeting the true messiness and grit of being human is a home-coming like no other.
No pretending to be holier than thou, no wishing away dark thoughts or uncomfortable emotions - but meeting them all with radical acceptance, compassion and love.
and bigger than that… allowing others to meet them, too.
It is the realisation that there was never anything “wrong”, and nothing we were missing - other than recognising that we were already whole.
It’s a bit of disappointment actually…
AND a simultaneous sigh of relief.
2026 is the era of full-frontal humanity.
& to me, there’s truly nothing sexier ♥️

Dropping this here for all the seekers who have felt confused or dissillusioned in recent times.
Truth is multi-dimensional.
It is a living breathing being - that evolves and even contradicts itself.
Truth doesn’t ask for allegiance or even choice, it simply asks for us to stay in relationship with it, to stay connected, open and willing.
When we cling to one perspective as the answer, we stop listening.
Wisdom lives in curiosity and openness, not in certainty.
I feel I’ve been playing this harp for so many years but it’s feeling more and more important, year after year.
You don’t need to choose this theory, or that - wisdom and truth is revealed in fragments over time - through many a vessel and our own lived experience 🫶🌀

Channelled musings on what it is to love another (during a forced and welcomed break from packing to write what was coming through!)
Trusting it will land for those who need it or are ready to receive it in the given moment.
I can’t express just how important it is that we support & celebrate our friends & family in all they do or don’t do, their choices, their moments of seeming madness, their pivots, their achievements, their letting go, their surface-level and their deep-rooted change.
It is so easy to leak our perspectives into our ability to love, support and accept others.
Love - so often - comes with condition.
Love is far too easy to “break”.
And yet, it is never love that is broken.
It is usually our ego, our belief systems and our ideals, revealing our inability to truly hold the “other” in a moment.
No “other” will ever be in complete alignment with our perspectives, ideals & values in a given moment.
Because, as much as we are all one…
no other will ever not be other.
There is no human that mirrors our exact inner world. We are uniquely carved by our experiences, our conditioning and something far beyond our life and ancestry - our soul signature, our essence.
If we look for a love without cracks, shadows and flaws, we will find only loneliness.
Relationship - of any kind - is an art inside a world that is so disconnected.
Of course there is some light nuance here… if someone else’s action genuinely and explicitly hurts another (opinions, projections and assumptions aside) then celebration isn’t the medicine of the moment. And yet, even then - the most potent medicine here would be to hold space for what you are witnessing & allow it to move through a lens of discernment & a personal process, rather than be quick to quietly or overtly condemn.
Unity does not require likeness, it requires acceptance and recognising that it just is.
Unity just is.
And that can be deeply dismantling for us if we are still attached to false belief systems rooted in perfectionism and falsity itself.
P.s. These words are for me just as much anyone else 🫶

Amongst the chaos of this past month… there have been some beautiful moments with my specials ones 🫶
We are amidst packing up our lives (again!) so I’m focusing on all that is right in front of me at the moment… I’m sure I’ll share more on the grid soon.
So much is in gestation for the year ahead… 🌀
Until then, I’m sending so much love, well wishes and abundant blessings to all …

Like most of my shares, this one is for me just as much as it is anyone else… It has been sitting in my Canva App for a while, and today - as we are amidst the solstice stillness - feels an apt time to share it.
In truth, the feeling of urgency has risen more palpably for me in the past few years than it has ever before! and I am fully able to witness its damage, too - the harsh reality of being aware 😂
- an uncomfortable predicament that I know is required for me to truly heal and integrate this part.
That is, the part of me that does not feel she can rest. The part of me that can slip into actioning as if my survival depends on it.
If I want to be cute about it, I call it my “fast fairy mode”. it’s both a blessing and a curse - and yet, neither!
In this “mode” I can get things done, I am productive, efficient… seemingly winning at life. And it does make me feel good.
But there is usually something amiss. And that is my presence for life, and the sweet moment(s)… the things that truly matter.
Since having children, this is - at times, horrifyingly - clear.
I share this in the energy of ownership and responsibility, rather than any false pretence I am beyond my humanness. And I share this in trust of the much needed medicine held within the words in these slides - we need reminding.
We are not supposed to be living in the way we do, and it is why there is so much sadness, loneliness, emptiness and chronic dis-ease.
I also share this message infused with the energy of prayer. May we all be released from the invisible shackles of over-productivity and urgency - at the expense of our body, life and happiness.
With all my love,
Felicity x

For generations, healers and medicine women have carried the wound of imposterhood (often referred to as imposter syndrome) - which is the belief that we are not truly qualified, not truly ready, or not truly allowed to take up space in our power.
It’s within the internal voice that whispers:
“Who do you think you are?”
“You’re not ready yet.”
“Others know more than you.”
“One day they’ll see you don’t really belong here.”
Imposter syndrome is not a lack of gifts, wisdom, or devotion - it is an inherited wound of unworthiness shaped by centuries of silencing, persecution, hierarchy, and exclusion - especially within the healer lineage.
For the medicine women who came before us, this wound formed when:
🔥 spiritual authority was stripped from women
🔥 knowledge was gatekept, policed, or institutionalised
🔥 wisdom was dismissed unless sanctioned by power
🔥 healers were told their knowing was dangerous, wrong, or inferior
🔥 certain voices were amplified while others were erased
In this online ceremony, we journey to the root of the imposter syndrome wound to hold space for unprocessed ancestral trauma and transmute the inherited beliefs that keep us doubting our right to serve.
It is only through integrating the depths of this wound that we can truly return to truth and reclaim our sovereignty.
We will honour the generations of healers whose wisdom was dismissed, stolen or punished.
We will make space for the grief of being taught not to trust ourselves.
And we will begin to reclaim our inner authority.
Through guided ceremony, ritual, embodiment, and intentional energetic release, we will begin to soften the internalised voices of doubt and separation, and restore trust in our lived knowing, intuition, and medicine.
This is less about activating confidence to become louder, bigger, or "more"... it is about coming home to your truth - quietly, deeply, and to a space where you can share your gifts freely without needing external validation.
Imposter syndrome often appears alongside other healer wounds - martyrdom, servitude, saviourhood and persecution - and together, they quietly undermine our capacity to be seen, to receive, and to lead from grounded power.
In this ceremony, we will integrate the ancestral, societal, and energetic imprints that keep us questioning our worth and legitimacy, so we/ you can root into your work with clarity, humility, and embodied confidence.
This is for the healer who feels the call, even while the doubt still whispers.
