Return to Self, Cape Town (2025)

I just wanted to share some photos of the gorgeous smudge fans that were made at the workshop on Saturday 🦉🌈🌼

Creativity is strong medicine for opening the communication lines within our being together with ancestors, inner children, poweranimals, higher self. We are together! Thank you Owls for your medicine 🌹 Everyone felt incredible connections with the owls. In the end I had the blessing of spending the day with 4 crones making these wands. Each of them had a profound connection to the owl they worked with. For some it came in with dreams prior to the workshop for others they connected during the drumming journey we did. A day full of magick indeed.

I am very excited to be offering this first workshop in what I hope to be a series of Shamanic Medicine Crafting and Temple Arts Craft workshops.

Intellectually there's a lot going on in our world as we attempt to bridge the gap between Spirit and Science for our minds while the truth is in reality there is no gap to bridge. So what are we to do? How can we come to an innerstanding of these teachings enough to truly embody and give outlet to the innate wisdom and intelligence that glows through is from our ancestors and all of life around and within us?

The medicine lies in walking the path, not contemplating it alone.... That's what medicine is- you have to interact with it, make it your felt experience as the medicine path is animistic in nature, every shell and stone informs.

So come and join me in an immersive full day workshop to meet a spirit ally for your journey ahead.
I know that each of these wings and tails already has a custodian and its already connected with you in the spirit realm. So if you know this to be right for you right now please contact me to book.

All basic materials will be provided and extra special pieces like crystals etc might be sold seperate if there is something that calls to you. However you are invited to bring anything that speaks to you, that you have collected etc to add to your creation.

The day I went to this cave was an important day for me...for my soul....for my ancestors, and the ancestors of this land that I walk together with.

On this day I went to meet the waterspirits of this special place on the most Southern tip of Africa ..... These waterspirits that have been beckoning through my visions and dreams, awakening in me remembrances of technologies for returning more of our soul light to us, to be experienced through our physicality, our soul that wants to experience reality through this particular dimensional experience we have chosen, our soul from which our purpose springs forth....our essence.

Luminescent as these waterspirits is our soul...When we connect into this place we start revealing our true selves often to ourself for the first time as this very essence is often debilitated together with the repression of our sexual energy as soon as we start experiencing it around the age of 4... The moment it is indicated to us that it is not ok to express our sexual nature we switch off the flow of our essence. Like building a wall right at the start of a river preventing it from making it's way to the ocean.

The ocean represents the soul and our origin and thus if we are cut off from the innate intelligence within us that knows how to return us to the ocean, we are cutting ourselves off from our purpose, our own selves.

At this ocean I returned permission to my inner child to be herself, to allow her essence to once again spring forth and guide me back to the ocean.
I gave her back her inner authority, to follow the callings and voice of her soul through it's timeless wisdom with which she is so connected.

This is Sexual Soul Retrieval, This is the work I have been training for. Every turn through the labyrinth of my life has brought me to this moment. Not just for myself but for those who are unable to ignore the siren song of their souls any longer....

I am answering the call to share these powerful processes based on my own life experiences and trainings and initiations. I am here to create experiences of invitation to initiate through the inner realms.

Since last year the dark mother has been visiting me more urgently than ever in my dreams and visions. She appears as Santa Muerte, Black Madonna, Kali, Lilith, Sekhmet, the Sirens and Dragons.
My own journey through this life has been one walking closely with the dark Goddess. The darkness that transmutes everything and the darkness from which everything is born.
The darkness of our subconsciousmind and everything we have banished to the "underworld" of our psyche and society.
My work and life experiences has led me through the spirals of the gates of initiation, to answer the calls of not only my ancestors but the voice of my soul and this has been facilitated through a deep devotion to the Dark Goddess.
She is the one that awakening so strongly now. Individually and collectively. Our illusions around society are shattered, we are hearing louder than ever before the voice of our souls, of our inner children.
And more so we are awakening to the dark feminine, to the fierce compassion of the wrathful dakinis, to the wisdom of our desires and the renewal of our spirit.For eons we have known the rites of passages required to awaken our true selves. The journey we are required to take into the underworld which really is our physical body, our subconscious in order to open the doors of our awareness of our consciousness to the fullness of our being. But we have also been blindsided by flashing lights that never dim, superficial, instant gratification that doesn't allow that quiet voice from within to be heard any longer, numbing our fears, numbing our pain numbing our uncomfortability to avoid looking into the face of our dark mother as she stands waiting patiently at the gates of initiation, of death. For to truly live we have to die.
Die to all that we are not.... Transmute everything we thought we were to see our true selves reflected back to us out of the dark waters of our innermost beings. There where the light is born from total blackness.

Do you recognise the call of the dark Goddess deep within the cervices of your soul?
Do you know that she's part of you?
A deep recessed part of your psyche....
Do you know that she takes care of you inner children when you don't?
Do you know that she knows your power and purpose intimately?
Often she's known as the forgotten lover aspect of the mother.
The sacred pr******te really a temple prophetess or priestess.
In her integrated aspect we see the crones, wild women with silver halo hair, who see the truth to clearly to be anything but authentic and true...
She speaks to animals
without words
her body
a prayer
on the
song
of the winds
whom she makes love to under starlit skies
as the thunder that roars through her blood meets
the Truth of God....
Her darkness swallows everything
Loves everything
In her darkness you are One

In this constellation the client wanted to constellate around a feeling she had of not being able to step into the world to live her life and share her gifts....

The representing puppet could not stand on her own. Constantly falling backwards against this smaller puppet. This smaller aspect possibly an inner child aspect felt anxious and together they were frozen, paralyzed stuck and completely overwhelmed.

She just couldn't stand on her own. Then some older puppets were brought in. They represented support from an older more mature place( this could be an inner parent aspect or physical elders/ancestors/grandparents) that could offer support.

Finally the first puppet could stand on her own, although something was still missing. A key was brought in and she could hold it easily with a feeling of pride and happiness able to offer the world her gifts, the child felt safe and free to be a child... even playing a little distance away from the unit indicating secure attachment...
The constellation can be interpreted in different ways but we try to not go into the mind too mich... This way of constellating os called Movement of Spirit. Where we try to detach as much as possible from the story/narrative aswell as any preconceived notions of the "right" outcome.

The movements speaks for themselves and by bypassing the critical thinking mind the movements create a profound effect on deeper levels of the subconscious mind and the soul... bringing freedom of flow of energy where previously it was stuck.

The client later reported that she was able to sit down with her business and finances without the anxiety, resistance and feelings of overwhelm that usually went with these types of tasks.

We do this work without attachment to the outcome and thus we can always marvel at whatever changes/improvements develop in the integration of these sessions. The results unfold systematically and individually and continue to unfold in the months following the actual Constellation.

Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship:
Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.
Date nights are a must.
Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.
Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.
Learn each others love language.
We all don’t perceive love the same way.
Go to bed mad sometimes.
Don’t force a resolution.
Sleeping on it does help.
When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.
It will get boring sometimes.
Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.
It’s normal.
It will fade.
This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.
Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.
It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.
It’s okay to go to couples counselling.
It helps.
It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.
Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.
Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and just talk to each other.
Ask questions like
“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”
And most importantly, be kind to each other.
Love each other.
Fight for each other.
Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.
But damn, is it ever beautiful, and worth it~

I always find myself drawn a bit inwards before the end of the year... as the energy shifts into the New Year I like to "take stock" of this year that has passed and how my heart feels about it and what stories my mind is telling about it.
Did you know that our subconscious mind accepts the stories we tell about our experiences as the truth when it's hardly ever the full truth rather than our perceived impressions about that event. When we go back and reassess those stories we allow these experiences to integrate and come to completion.
It is good to take an afternoon out with a a lovely cup of hot tea or jug of ice tea in a comfortable spot preferably with a view which your eyes can rest in while your mind works through these prompts.
When difficult emotions arise, sit back take a deep breath in through your nose and into your belly, filling up your heart , stretching your diaphragm and expanding your lungs.
Just welcome the emotions recognising them as ever changing- energy in motion, feel it a a sensation in your body and dont attach to it with your mind. Just feel it for what it is and continue.
Happy New Year Lovelies.

It has been 5 years that I have been practicing Reiki after starting my Reiki journey with my first attunement.
So gentle yet so profound. Many people feel that Reiki is overrated because every second person does Reiki but I feel that THAT is the beauty of this modality. The fact that ANYBODY can have this ability activated in them. A tangible energy that produces profound effects in the sender aswell as receiver.
I believe that my Reiki journey has played a massive role in opening my consciousness to more awareness, more love and more embodiment of the divine I AM.

I look forward to sharing this with as many people as I have the chance to. Contact me if you feel drawn to starting or maybe continuing or reviving your Reiki journey in 2023 for a magickal year to unfold.

The feminine drives a mutative pulse of the human species.
She is under constant pressure for things to grow, to move, to evolve.
She may not even know what she means completely by not going anywhere, just that there is an itch to be following some thread or trajectory that leads to.... More.
More experience. More love. More depth. More consciousness.
If a man does not understand how to meet this impulse... .. To both adapt to her mutative pressure and to create the structure for their forward momentum (often called "leading" in polarity speak, yet I believe this is an inaccurate representation of what is actually happening)... .. Then any woman who is awake to this spark of mutation in her will become dissatisfied, frustrated, resentful and bored.
Ultimately she will leave him or her spark will die.
Her desire to grow is natural, innate and beautiful.
The masculine wants peace.
Yet he does not truly find it in beer and video games and sports and fishing and golf (none of which are wrong).
He finds it through continuously refining, developing and sharpening his consciousness.
And there is no greater pressure that will propel him to his best self than her.~

Years ago when I was sitting trying to think of a name for this "healing practice" of mine the name Return to Self caught my attention and it stuck.. At first I thought what a cliché and true story there are many other healing practices with his name some more cliché than others, but when I sat with it I felt that yes this is truly what we are doing isn't it? Returning to ourselves- calling all the broken off and lost pieces home....
Every person that's been to see me has been completely different, needed something different and reflected back to me aspects of myself... sacred mirrors.
For 9 years I've been adding modalities and studying with different teachers this process have been driven by sure, a need for validation and to prove myself "qualified" or "capable" enough at times, but mostly because I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and understanding of this incredibly exquisite experience that is life.
Every session revealing more of the energy system, how energy moves and manifest and of how we are truly never apart from anything else. How everything affects everything else. How so many of us spend incredible amounts of energy to prevent sitting with our trauma because it terrifies us and then having the incredible honour of sitting with those few when they realise that the life they are losing out on is more terrifying than what it is to finally turn around and face their trauma and finally integrate those pieces.
I bow in honour to those as I get to witness these fire walks in a 1on1 trauma session and see the transformation before my eyes as someone arrives in the present moment after being stuck for so long in that past trauma that it shaped their entire lives.
In that moment they have returned a large portion of their conscious awareness to their present selves to the present moment. The only moment that truly exist. And for every bit of healing we do for ourselves we lso affect the collective and thus I too have returned home once again, deeper, more fully... Because at the end of the day we are only walking each other home....

A sacred site in Stanford. A holy womb cave with a stalactite that has become one with a stalagmite to form a beautiful structure reminiscent of The Holy Mother Mary. Queen of heaven and earth.

This is so symbolic of the esoteric teaching of union when duality dissolves when the to opposing forces cones perfectly into balance and the Christed light frequency can shine through uncompromisingly.

The sacred lives in the every day.
How often we judge things, events, others and ourselves as not being "spiritual" enough.

The obvious secret is that EVERYTHING is sacred. Everything comes from source and it's because we only have a limited perspective of the whole that we aren't able to understand or recognise the sacred beingness of everything.
A matter of perspective. The moon is powerful and sacred and meaningful in everyone of her cycles. YOU are powerful and meaningful and sacred in every one of your cycles.
The difference is wether you are judging at as one or the other.
Mundane or Sacred.

Rest into the knowing that Everything is Changing that is the only constant. In attaching value to one thing and aversion to another is what makes you suffer.
Acceptance in the ever changing tide and in the Sacredness of each one of those shifting states is your key to happiness. Detach from what you perceive to be spiritual or sacred in opposition to that which "isn't".

Greet the moon in all her forms. Bow to the flower that has wilted. Keep recognising the sacred in every moment. The ones you struggle to see has the most to teach us. Deepen your trust in the divine unfolding of your existence.

Returning to Self again and again by connecting with nature through intimate rituals engaging with the elements...

Nature is speaking to us now more than ever- it's echoing our own inner voice...

and we are being asked to listen deeply and observe unattached as to not get swept up in the illusion.

Sitting in Ceremony is one of those things that just brings something to life in me. It's an awareness of the sacredness of this life we find ourselves existing in and the multidimensionality of it that intrinsically connects all manifestions of life.

It brings me to a humility as I bow my head in honour of the divine essence, the guru that resides in all of us and as we cleanse ourselves and step into this sacred space its like stepping into our true nature where we not only recognise our own divinity but also the divinity in everyone and everything around us. And in recognising that we realise that it's that- the divinity that is the golden thread that connects everything. That frequency of unconditional love that permeates all and holds it all together.

My wish for all is to find space- no make space in their lives for more Ceremony, more recognition and more love.

The essence of ritual.

"It’s experiential. A profoundly personal act even when shared, ritual reconditions our perspective. It is the practice of reminding ourselves of the value and power of living. It is that moment in which we stop and, looking around, understand that life is sacred".– Emma Restall Orr, Ritual – A Guide to Love, Life and Inspiration

12/10/2020

Just like we have physical, emotional and mental aspects we also have a spiritual aspect. In fact our spiritual aspect is the basis from which all the other aspects manifest.
We are spirit having a physical experience. When we say "I am not spiritual" we are denying the very nature of our reality. A dissociation at the deepest possible level.
Beyond all things we are spiritual. The only difference comes in with the awareness we have towards the aspect of ourselves.
