In my Facebook group, The Spiritually Conscious Traveller, I asked a question: What do you think surrendering means? These are questions to get you thinking, because we often neglect our higher purpose or higher connection to Source Energy, Infinite Intelligence, The Creator Of All There Is Great Spirit and God, Universal Love, whatever you want to call it! I was just having [...]
Last night I hosted my god daughter's 31st birthday party. It was an absolutely beautiful night with just family. Every year we play a game called for Vertellis. I think it's a Dutch game which offers a bunch of thought provoking questions that inspire better conversation and getting to know people more deeply. We wanted to reflect back on the past year, [...]
Happy Beltane! That was Sunday, May 1st. Many of you may know about the ancient Celtic celebration. Beltane means bright fire. It was a ritual to celebrate the return of summer and the return of fertility to the land. It’s when they usually put their livestock out to pasture and was also seen as a purification and healing ceremony. They'd light the [...]
I'm in the process of rewriting and re-recording my all new 12 week online course called From Fear Into Love. It's run seven times in the past and each time I run it, I learn new things, what works, what doesn’t, and what my students need. As I expand and evolve, naturally my course needs to expand and evolve too. I'm really [...]
People are still lugging around failure, guilt, shame, trust issues, pain, fear, worry, physical and sexual abuse trauma, insecurities, depression, fear of the future, fear of being loved, feeling like life has to be hard or that you're never enough among countless other emotional lead filled bags and sometimes all of that manifests as physical weight. A lot of people, myself included [...]
Celebrating yourself is not to be overlooked. Somehow, and I don't know how this happened, but I'm actually turning 60 this week! It kind of snuck up on me because in my head I'm still in my 30’s. Not only on birthdays do we need to celebrate ourselves, but every day we need to celebrate. On the healing path we tend to [...]
When people say, “it runs in the family,” tell them, “this is where it runs out,” because you don't have to continue repeating the same ancestral patterns. It amazes me that so many people never really think about their ancestors or where they came from. Why we behave the way that we do, why our family works the way it does, why [...]
Today I went to a beautiful medicine circle with a lovely local community. A woman came with an amazing labyrinth painted on a big piece of fabric that covered the entire floor. It was really wonderful to have the opportunity to walk in a sacred way through this labyrinth. If you look up the meaning of labyrinth it says: a complicated irregular [...]
Monday was the spring equinox, which is when the equator is in perfect alignment with the sun and all of the influences on the planet are in equilibrium. The Latin word aequus means equal and nox means night so that's why it's called the spring equinox. I led a lovely despacho and fire ceremony for the Conscious Cafe in Skipton here in [...]
There's a wonderful quote by Stephen Colbert who said, “Thankfully, dreams can change. If we'd all stuck with our first dream the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses.” I love that quote, but in regards to reclaiming your spirit, I'm not talking about remembering ‘what do I want to be when I grow up,’ unless indeed that's still calling out [...]
