WE ARE HERE
by David Whyte
‚We are here essentially, to risk ourselves in the world. We are a form of invitation to others and to otherness, we are meant to hazard ourselves for the right thing, for the right woman or the right man, for a son or a daughter, for the right work or for a gift given against all the odds. And in all this continual risking the most profound courage may be found in the greatest risk and the greatest vulnerability, and perhaps, the greatest prize of all, the simple willingness to allow ourselves to be happy along the way …‘

‘I think it was Brene Brown who told a story about a village where all the women washed clothes together down by the river. When they all got washing machines, there was a sudden outbreak of depression and no one could figure out why.
It wasn't the washing machines in and of themselves. It was the absence of time spent doing things together. It was the absence of community.
Friends, we’ve gotten so independent.
We’re “fine” we tell ourselves even when in reality we’re depressed, we’re overwhelmed, we’re lonely, and we’re hurting. “We’re fine, we’re just too busy right now” we say when days, weeks, months, and years go by without connecting with friends. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s so easy to say even when it’s not true.
We’ve become so isolated and it’s hard to know how to get back. It’s so hard to know how to even begin to build the kind of relationships our hearts need. And I think In our current culture, it’s just not as organic as it once was. It's more work now.
Because you know, we have our own washing machines. We don't depend on each other to do laundry, or cook dinner, or raise babies anymore. We don't really depend on each other for much of anything if we're being honest.
In Brene Brown’s book Braving the Wilderness, she says that being lonely effects the length of our life expectancy similar to smoking 15 ci******es a day. I don’t say that to freak anyone out, but to let you know that the longing for connection is LEGIT. I think we’ve treated friendship like a luxury for far too long; friendship isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
We don't want it. We kind of need it.
Be independent. Be proud of it. But be an independent woman who realizes the value and the importance of opening the door to other good women.
You can do it alone, but you don't have to. Islands are only fun for so long.
There is true magic when women come together and hold hands and share ideas and share stories and struggles and endless bowls of salsa. You use your gifts, and I'll use mine, and then we'll invite that girl over there who brings a completely different set of skills to the table we are building, and we'll watch together as something miraculous unfold.’

Because we can’t talk and learn about it enough. For ourselves and for our children 🖤
Sometimes we feel like our happiness depends so much on others. On being able to physically be with others and on them, providing us with happiness.
What if the most important person to make you truly happy is you? What if in order to function for your loved ones, you take some time just for yourself, to nourish your body and mind?
FOR A NEW BEGINNING
In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
JOHN O’DONOHUE
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.
- Jeff Foster
May your 2021 be filled with light, health & love ❤️

It's a beautiful day for the winter solstice. The difference between night and day, cold and warmth can be so stark in the winter months and standing with my feet in the frost and my face in the warm sun, was a beautiful reminder of life being able to contain and embrace all contrasts at once. How the much needed frost is an invitation to rest and restore, while the winter sun already sends word of the return of much brighter, longer days ahead.
Let’s come together in the deep knowing that slowing down an turning more inward now, will prepare us for a more energetic and bright time in the new year...

Connecting women to their intuitive wisdom, innate power & creative energy.
Empowering women to reconnect to their intuitive wisdom, innate power and creative energy by planting seeds of joyful self-care through yoga, mindfulness, coaching and connecting like-minded women.
Nora’s YOGA SESSIONS are a joyful fusion of gentle yet strengthening asanas and meditation, reconnecting you with your energy and inner tenderness. Focusing on balance, breath and alignment she strives to create a physically and emotionally safe space for students of all levels, inspiring them to move with joy and intention. Practicing FAMILY YOGA with her daughter and her husband regularly, Nora deeply understands the needs of parents to reconnect with their own breath and bodies while connecting with their children and other parents in a cheerful way.
Especially in her WILDFLOWER WOMEN’S YOGA CIRCLES Nora offers compassionate acceptance and nourishment. Throughout her own journey Nora has realized that there is something truly magical about women coming together and creating new energy by sharing their yoga practice, laughter and wisdom.
In spring 2018 Nora completed her YOGA FOR FERTILITY specialization with the Founder of Yoga for Fertility Lynn Jensen. Yoga for Fertility uses specific yoga postures and breathing practices to stimulate and tone the reproductive system, enhance the flow of energy and circulation through the body, and balance hormone levels by improving endocrine (glandular and hormonal) function. Nora feels honored to spread her knowledge on how to de-stress and get life force flowing to support women or couples who are trying to conceive, either naturally or through assisted reproductive technology.
Through INTEGRAL COACHING Nora will empower you to investigate your relationship with your body, mind and emotions and help you realize limiting habits and patterns of your interactions with others. Nora will help you increase your self-care and reconnect you to your intuitive wisdom, innate power and creative energy. Coaching will increase your ability to take on change and be your true self.
Nora started her yoga and meditation practice in 2001 and got addicted to daily yoga in Paul Dobson’s vibrant classes in London. In 2011 she completed her 200-hour Certification in Thailand with Lucas Rockwood (Yogabody) and Pimrat Swatewacharkul (Yoga Space Bangkok).
Regarding yoga as a lifelong pursuit, Nora draws daily inspiration from very different forms of yoga, mindfulness practice and most importantly humans and their very personal way of being. That’s why in her work as a coach and yoga teacher, she thrives to inspire others to embrace themselves fully to reconnect to their intuitive wisdom, innate power and creative energy.
