So excited to be joining my coach Rohini and fellow Rewilder Guide Mentors in this free webinar series. Take a look and sign up if it speaks to you 💖

Are you a coach, therapist, healer, or another kind of solo practitioner?

Do you want to rewild your practice with joy and inspiration?

Join me and Rewilder Mentor Guides for the free six-week course: https://www.therewilders.org/rewilding-your-practice

It is time to STOP listening to the voices of insecurity in your head that:

- Tell you you need more qualifications
- Say you can’t charge that
- Ask you, "Who are you to do that?"
- Have you give away your time when your responsibility is to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
- Complain it is too hard.
- Lie to you and say you aren’t good enough and don’t have what it takes.
- Have you hide behind busy work rather than engaging in quality interactions that build your practice.

It is time to START listening to the wisdom of your heart so you can be of service and live beyond your conditioning of fear so you can:

Shine your unique light in the world.
Share your work in service to reducing the suffering of others.
Take care of yourself financially so the work is sustainable.
Say “YES” to your dreams.
Honor yourself and your calling.
What is required is straightforward and simple.

You don't need an expert.

You have everything you need inside of you to do the work your heart is calling you to do.

Let’s spend some time together this summer and have some fun starting or growing your practice.

Insecurity and inaction love shame and isolation.

Let’s step into the light together and have love carry us forward as we embrace all of who we are and express that more expansively in the world.

No matter where you are in the development of your practice this course will support you with taking it to the next level because it is about taking you to the next level within yourself.

If this calls to you join me and:

Happy Father’s Day to all courageous men dedicated to their own growth for the benefit of their children

“ALL feelings are safe, even the super intense ones. They come and go in the body. They are not permanent, and they just want to be felt, blessed, loved, offered safe passage, and move on” 🌈✨

I CANNOT LOSE MYSELF

I used to be terrified of feelings, my own feelings and the feelings of others.

I believed that if I went too deeply into feelings, if I let them exist for too long in me, if I allowed them to live in my body, I would go mad, or I would be destroyed by them somehow. Or they would never leave, and I would get “stuck” in them forever, sucked into their dark heart, no way out.

I feared “losing myself” in feelings.

I feared my own fear. I had anxiety about having anxiety. I was angry with my own anger. Like many, I believed that I had dark, sinful, dangerous energies inside of me, and that I had to avoid these ‘demons’ at all costs. This was all a child’s superstition, of course, totally reasonable conclusions for an innocent child to make.

But as I stepped into presence, into my adult and out of my trauma, I came to realise that ALL feelings are safe, even the super intense ones. They come and go in the body. They are not permanent, and they just want to be felt, blessed, loved, offered safe passage, and move on.

I did not have to fear or resist my feelings any longer, even the intense and uncomfortable ones. I could just relax, breathe, open, surrender, trust, and let them pass through.

I cannot lose myself for I am present even at the heart of loss.

Pure potential ✨

DO NOT DEFINE YOURSELF, MY LOVE.

Definitions are dead and of the past.
You are too alive for definitions.

You're not a success or a failure.
You're not a good person or a bad person.
You're not a wise person or a fool.
You're not beautiful, nor are you ugly.
You're not enlightened, and you can't be unenlightened, ever.
You're not any one thing, nor nothing,
nor many things at once.

You are pure potential.
A vessel for life,
prior to any incarnation.

You always knew you were changing
too fast to be defined.

No concept can capture your vastness.

No mouth can speak your name.

No word can capture
your outrageous fire.

- Jeff Foster

Truth ✨

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WORTHY

F**k being worthy.

If you succeed, if you score an A+, if you get the promotion, if you win the race, you won't be loved more. You have to shake off that illusion.

Love isn't something that anyone can give you. It’s not something you have to beg for, earn, or deserve.

You don’t have to be worthy. You only have to be alive, and you are worthy.

Because you are inseparable from the stars, the mountains, the rustling trees in the meadow.

And you follow the breath as it rises and falls. And you make room in yourself for long-neglected feelings of shame, fear, unworthiness, sorrow. You learn to trust the body, its rhythms, the way it tries to protect itself, its unpredictability, its feelings of unsafety. You breathe into the sore places, make them safe. (Safe to even feel unsafe; that is freedom.)

To love the parts that feel unlovable;
that is the love you always dreamed about,
the love you never have to “deserve”.

✨You Were Made For This✨
~ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing.

We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.

The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these -- to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.

Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. [...]

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.

Highly recommend💖🌸

Following last week’s warm response, we are very excited to announce that we will once again offer the free Webinar next week. As many of you expressed interest in attending but were unable to due to its inconvenient time, we are offering it again later on the day. We hope that this will better accommodate your schedule and look forward to seeing you there.

Invite any friends, family, or whoever you think might like a little self-care time for themselves.

With love,
Christel & Bec Steele

❤️ this! “You are enough simply in your being”
Effort and busyness does not equal productivity and productivity does not make us more worthy, we already are just by being here ✨

LET YOURSELF REST

If you’re exhausted, rest.

If you don’t feel like starting a new project, don’t.

If you don’t feel the urge to make something new,
just rest in the beauty of the old, the familiar, the known.

If you don’t feel like talking, stay silent.

If you’re fed up with the news, turn it off.

If you want to postpone something until tomorrow, do it.

If you want to do nothing, let yourself do nothing today.

Feel the fullness of the emptiness, the vastness of the silence, the sheer life in your unproductive moments.

Time does not always need to be filled.

You are enough, simply in your being.

This promises to be a wonderful retreat with an amazing line up of teachers and practitioners ❤️

Hello beautiful people!

As part of my second year training as a Rewilding Guide / Coach and Mentor I have the challenge of completing 50 coaching sessions in a limited timeframe.

I have decided to offer 20 free conversations to people on my page here on Facebook.

For whatever reason you have found your way here and I am grateful for your support. This is an opportunity to experience a coaching session with me.

Please get in touch if you would like to:

- Understand how we create our experience of life and get back to your true nature
- Create space for yourself to be fully supported and listened to
- Experience greater ease in your relationships with yourself and with others
- Gain clarity on a particular issue you’re dealing with
- Experience more peace of mind around your parenting

If none of these apply to you but you’ve read all this way, please still reach out and we can explore how a conversation can be supportive to you.

These are not sales conversations, there are no strings attached. The only thing that is required on your part is commitment to show up at the agreed date and time and show up fully for yourself; show up with an open mind and ready to see or hear something in a new way.

When something is offered free, we can easily consider it of little value and spare our commitment or cancel at short notice.

This is not one of those offerings.

I value my time. The service I offer and the space I create are sacred to me. It means a lot to share this space with you!

Are you prepared to commit this time for yourself and show up fully? If the answer is yes, I’d love to hear from you.

Ps. This offer is open until mid Jan 2022
