"Closer to the earth, the handmade life is uncomplicated by what we should do, how we should look, who we should be, quick fixes, or package deals. It is the old ways made new again, brought back to life by the fire in our hearts and the truth on our lips.
As the constrictive tendrils of an old life continue to lose their grip, a new confidence and sureness is coming in. It is a fierceness, grounded in truth and earned wisdom, and a vulnerability, slowly opening, surrendering, wanting to be seen." Kristen Roderick | Artwork by Piia Lehti

"When women circle, something magical happens. Beyond the obvious social fulfillment is a space that touches the centre of our deepest vulnerability and our greatest power. When combined with structure, mutual respect, trust, and ritual, a circle becomes a space where tentative voices are urged into authority, where dreams are articulated for the first time, where tears mark a rite of passage.
What makes a circle special? Being known beyond the roles that define us, speaking our dreams into existence, mourning what’s been lost, a container for promises, recognition that we are valued, time for honoring our innate connection to the cycles of the earth, the moment of recognition when we hear our own truth spoken by another, a space to call our own."

Kristen Roderick @thespiritthatmovesme and I had such a rich conversation, ranging through concepts of home and belonging, ways in which motherhood changes and challenges us, the ways in which we dry up (like the sealwoman) from too many masculine patriarchal structures on our society and finally to the ways in which our bodies tell us loud and clear when we start straying from our paths.

We started to unravel one of my favourite fairytales about Selkies (seal women) and I loved how she connected it to ideas of home, motherhood, transition and identity.

“Transition is when we take in the impact of the change and allow it to transform us on a deep, personal level. It’s about the internal process of learning from, adapting to and integrating the lessons associated with change. After a transition, we are no longer the same as we once were. Like the butterfly after it emerges from the cocoon- we are transformed. “ Kristen Roderick “The Ground of Waiting” #monarchbutterfly #transition #kristenroderick #spiritualteacher #butterfly #higherconsciousness #reiki #gratitude #magicallife #love

#leadwithlove #day2 is showing me that being committed to #healing & #transformation doesn't imply that the process will unfurl the way I want it to. Fierce but flexible, I'm learning to not trick myself yet again into doing it all 'perfectly' & controlling the exactness of the process. Its what many of us do-only to burn out soon & find our life-force and hope plummet with "messing up our plan" & new, unaticipated circumstances. Trying this time to breathe into the discomfort & find ways to appreciate the wisdom of transition with an open heart and mind. As #kristenroderick says "In the language of transition, we are in the in-between or Liminal Stage- the period that follows a letting go and precedes fully birthing ourselves anew. Often the most tenuous and uncomfortable stage of transition, we are in the throes of something we cannot define, and it has encompassed our lives. Very rarely does the culture in which we live allow this stage the time and space it needs. But rather than filling the void with busy-ness, distractions, regret for what's been left behind, or escapist behaviours, this stage requires stillness, time, patience, and a willingness to listen to the wisdom within to allow a new self to gestate and take shape." #transitions #sisterhood #slowlybutsurely #wisdom #hope #letsdothis #wereallinthistogether
Just two days left for the Early Bird price of my online course Blessing Our Secret Sorrow!
Over a period of six weeks, this course will explore the sacred landscape of endings, tracking old familiar footprints with a new set of skills, bringing reverence and understanding into forgotten places. By accepting the journey, we become initiates, surrendering to the wisdom beneath the fear and returning to an original place of wholeness, claiming that which was always ours.
Begins Monday April 29th.

"The dictionary defines memento as: an object or item that reminds us of a past event; a keepsake; a souvenir. It’s connected to the word remember and earlier meanings of the word referred to objects that served as a warning. .
Any major transition is a journey into the woods, which strips us of pretenses and material safety nets. Found objects from our time there connect us back to who we really are, offering healing, renewal, and comfort in times when we’re most vulnerable. At the same time, it can offer reminders of the perils of the journey – what was lost, things to avoid, or qualities and relationships that stunt the process of becoming." .
