Sometimes healing doesn’t ask us to do more —
it asks us to enter the darkness.

In yoga philosophy, shamanic earth-based wisdom, and archetypal traditions, this is often described as entering the void —
a liminal space.
A womb-like pause.
Leaning into the arms of the divine.
The place where roots form before anything breaks the surface.

This isn’t stagnation.
It’s incubation.

The nervous system softens here.
The body exhales.
And truth — the kind that can’t be forced — begins to speak.

This season has been inviting me to lean into that space.
To slow down.
To soften.
To allow rest, solitude, and restoration without needing to explain or justify it.

If you’re moving through injury, burnout, grief, or transition —
you’re not behind.

You’re in a necessary phase of incubation. A pause before becoming.

🤍
DM me if you have questions about rest, recovery, or the practices that have been supporting me during this time.

Every December, I hear the same thing from so many people:
“I love the holidays… but I feel exhausted.”
“I’m trying to be present, but everything moves too fast.”
“I just want the magic back.”
I felt that too—until I discovered a sacred practice that changed the way I move through the end of the year.
It’s called the 13 Holy Nights, an ancient ritual of reflection and renewal practiced during the darkest nights of winter.
A time when the world slows down… and your intuition becomes louder.
For thirteen nights, I sat in stillness.
I listened.
I wrote.
I breathed.
I paid attention to the signs, symbols, and synchronicities that appeared.
And something shifted.
The holidays stopped feeling heavy.
I felt guided.
Connected.
Clear.
Inspired.
Held by something bigger.
Since then, I’ve shared this ritual with others—
and every year, people tell me the same thing:
“This changed my entire New Year.”
“I finally felt peace during the holidays.”
“I’ve never felt more connected to Spirit.”
If your soul is craving that too, I would love to guide you through it.
🌙 The 13 Holy Nights Experience
A sacred journey of meditation, journaling, and intuitive connection.
Deck + non-deck options available.
🕯 Start with the Free Intro Session: The Sacred Pause
Experience the energy of the ritual before the journey begins.

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Shamanic journeying is a wonderful and potent way of accessing spiritual wisdom.
