At the end of our Gratitude Experience on Sunday, I felt called to share a blessing by the Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue. His book 'To Bless the Space Between Us' is one I return to often, and if you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve likely heard me draw from its pages before. As we ended our time together, I offered his blessing 'For Courage'. A reminder that as the Equinox ushers in a new season, we too are always changing. Each shift in season asks us to trust the unknown and to call on the light within to guide our next steps. I am deeply grateful for the way this community shows up, again and again, in presence, in heart, and in courage. Thank you for what we created together on Sunday. 🌿✨ FOR COURAGE When the light around you lessens And your thoughts darken until Your body feels fear turn Cold as a stone inside, When you find yourself bereft Of any belief in yourself And all you unknowingly Leaned on has fallen When one voice commands Your whole heart, And it is raven dark, Steady yourself and see That it is your own thinking That darkens your world, Search and you will find A diamond-thought of light, Know that you are not alone And that this darkness has purpose; Gradually it will school your eyes To find the one gift your life requires Hidden within this night-corner. Invoke the learning Of every suffering You have suffered. Close your eyes. Gather all the kindling About your heart To create one spark. That is all you need To nourish the flame That will cleanse the dark Of its weight of festered fear. A new confidence will come alive To urge you toward higher ground Where your imagination Will learn to engage difficulty As its most rewarding threshold! P.S. Long live Catherine O'hara haha 😆

I've been wondering about remaining in the seat of the witness vs just like being the sensation?

Wanted to share this text by Gabrielle Roth (founder of the 5Rhymts), I made this photo yesterday during my 5Rhytms dance session. Our teacher had this hanging under her dj set. I relate to every word of it and it is magical. Together with YogaNidra, this dancing (with a group) has been my source of transformation and healing. And it is becoming more and more ecstatic 🤩 When I dance, I break free. I make up my own steps, Let the beat all the way into my soul. I ride on the waves of the music like a surfer. I bump against parts of myself, Go between, around, strecht what I know. I go where I have never been. Through dance I’ve journeyed Through my body Into my heart Past my mind Into another dimension of existence, A dimension I call ectasy, Total communion with spirit. 🙏🙏🙏

🖤✨ A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the Gratitude Experience yesterday. Your presence made it unforgettable. 🙏 You helped co-create a space of remembrance for the beauty that already surrounds us and the abundance that flows when we pause long enough to feel it. I'd love to hear from you... What was one moment, insight, or feeling that stood out for you? Drop it in the comments... *take a deep breath to honour it now* ✨ This is how we keep the energy moving. Gratitude is a way of being that transforms our relationship with everything. Let’s keep checking in with what’s already here. With so much love and awe for this community.

When we rest together, something changes. Our nervous systems mirror one another. We begin to feel supported, even in silence. Will you make time this weekend to rest? Drop a 🌙 in the comments if you’re prioritizing rest!
