This morning, I woke up long before the sun said good morning, and was lulled into watching the world wake from this little dock on a land that holds so many of my family’s stories, memories and shadows.

The lake, the sky, the stillness all pulled me in gently, reminding me:
connection isn’t something we find;
it’s something we feel when we intentionally slow down and become present to the moment.

This moment. The only moment we have.

As summer edges toward its unofficial close,
I feel the ache and the beauty of it all—
the turning of the wheel of the year, the tenderness and resistance to a different schedule come September,
and the invitation to be in deep intimacy with myself, with others, with this precious life.

There’s a lot brewing in my cauldron over the next month, but as we meet here on the first full day of eclipse season,
it’s time we ask ourselves:
How can we consciously create more space in alignment with the nature within and around us? ❤️

At the end of my life, I don’t want perfection or anything close to it—I want the story of a soul that descended and rose, again and again. Messy, raw, human. I want to say: I trusted the unknown. I surrendered. I lived it all🔥
⁣
If these words speak to something in you, come journey with us. Join The Descent and Rising virtual book group—where we learn to fall and rise, together in community.

We begin next month. You can join from both and events pages on websites.

She who allows herself to walk through the fire.
The one who stands in and owns her power, her body—
and surrenders to awakening herself on every level.
She is the one who trusts in divine timing,
and assimilates the lessons along the way.
✨
One of the greatest lessons I’ve come to embody on my journey has been the practice and dance within this great cycle of life
And to wear our wings as often as possible 🔥

📕 I can feel the potency of this next book group cohort coming together for next’s month initiation.

It is within the deep mystery of our journeys—
where we are brought to tears and laughter simultaneously—
that we truly surrender.

I’m keeping this group intimately sized, and it is already half full.
Don’t wait to join.

You can join from both and ❤️

✨ Descent & Rising — our next book group journey — is open and we begin next month.

Last year’s Wild Feminine circle was more than a book group. We held three different journeys because it was potent in connection. It was a portal. Deep sharing, soul remembering, and friendships that are still rooted and growing. It even led to a restorative winter retreat.

✨Descent and Rising meets us where we are: in change, burnout, initiation, transformation. Through myth and story, it reminds us that descent isn’t the end — it’s sacred ground for becoming.

If you’re craving honest, heart-led connection and spiritual depth in community, come join us. We begin soon. 💗

📢 FYI.. I am keeping this to an intimately sized cocoon and it’s already half full from those who read my newsletters and take action ❤️

Save your spot through both SK and event pages.

One of my favorite thresholds of the year — the slow exhale at the peak of summer.
A time to soften, to return to what truly nourishes.

✨ We eat, we pray, we love…

To ground. To root. To savor.
To settle into the present moment — because that’s all we have.

A tradition for us every August 15th…

We gather together, send our prayers out into the world, let the ocean currents soften us and are reminded of the sacred impermanence in life❤️

“Praise and gratitude to the sacred waters of the world, to the oceans, the mother of life, the womb of the plant life that freshens our air with oxygen, the brew that is stirred by sunlight and the moon’s gravity into the great currents and tides that move across the earth, circulating the means of life, bringing warmth to the frozen Arctic and cool, fresh winds to the tropics. We give thanks for the blessed clouds and the rain that brings the gift of life to the land, that eases the thirst of roots, that grows the trees and sustains life even in the dry desert. We give thanks for the springs that bring life-giving water up from the ground, for the small streams and creeks, for the mighty rivers. We praise the beauty of water, the sparkle of the sunlight on a blue lake, the shimmer of moonlight on the ocean’s waves, the white spray of the waterfall. We take delight in the sweet singing of the dancing stream and the roar of the river in the flood.
We ask help to know within ourselves all the powers of water: to wear down and to build up, to ebb and to flow, to nurture and to destroy, to merge and to separate. We know that water has great powers of healing and cleansing, and we also know that water is vulnerable to contamination and pollution. We ask help in our work as healers, in our efforts to ensure that the waters of the world run clean and run free, that all the earth’s children have the water they need to sustain abundance of life. Blessed be the water.”

Beach Yoga Journeys…

Join us tomorrow morning 8/3 8-9am 📍 Strickland Beach, Bay Head.

I don’t know what it is that’s shifted in me, but I keep diving deeper and deeper, and being reminded of the sacred impermanence in life ..

We’ve only got this moment … let’s embrace it with breath, movement, and with our eyes focused out on the beautiful horizon in those early August energy.

How aligned .. honoring Lammas today with this CSA bounty.
Ahh, this time of harvest and wanting to relish every moment as August starts ticking her ⏰.

Today, we honor the turning of the wheel of the year and celebrate Lughnasadh / Lammas (in the Northern Hemisphere).

This is the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox. It is considered a sacred Harvest of Gratitude and Abundance towards Mother Earth.

There’s an energy that beckons us to connect with her. Walking barefoot and sitting quietly, feeling the pulsation beneath our feet. To honor all that Mother Earth provides to us.

I love this time of summer. The land is ripe with beauty and vitality. The crickets have begun their annual medley. There is something so precious about this time of year. It’s Leo season, the season of courage, play and transformation.

🔥May we relish in all of Mother Nature’s blessings of the season🔥

25/07/2025

Tomorrow. Let’s gather. 7-8am.

Let’s move. Let’s breathe. Let’s be present.

Summer’s already rounding the bend and August is already on the horizon 😩

Strickland Beach—our usual place.
The replenishment has shifted south..
