As the dark season gathers and the natural world turns inward, I'm feeling the call to do the same. For the rest of this year, I'll be stepping back from social media and external marketing to turn my full attention toward the deep alchemy already underway inside the Sanctuary.
The dedicated members of this initiatory space are stepping into courageous waters now. We are refining our skills of inner alchemy, the kind that deserves that sacred pause practiced by pre-colonial cultures when stepping through rites of passage. Whether it was a Vision Fast to pray for a sacred instruction, a blood rite to celebrate a young woman's fertility, a ritual dance performed to heal the sick, or a birthing or dying portal, there was always a space of limbo required to enter into Deep Time, beneath the ticking of the clock and the square boxes of the Gregorian calendar.
On the elemental wheel, the movement toward winter is water and the slower oceanic rhythms taking hold again, reminding the body through gravity of our connection with the Lower World, where we can see more clearly into our subconscious, step into our dream body, and unravel the knots of our conditioning to unleash the next layer of our destiny.
WHAT THIS MEANS LOGISTICALLY:
Between now and February, I'll be pouring all of my energy, focus, and creative attention into the current members and active clients within the Body & Soul Sanctuary (including myself!)—tending our nervous system restoration, our breakthroughs, and our metamorphosis in real time.
I will be taking a break from writing this newsletter and from running outward-facing campaigns. I will continue to follow the breadcrumbs I've been given by Spirit to share my story through public media outlets, and if any of those comes through during this time, I will post them on my Facebook page, here: https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.stauder.5 I need to role model the regenerative model I teach, and honor the season of rest, deeper subliminal work, and quantum recalibration.
FOR THOSE FEELING THE PULL...
If you've been circling this work—if something in your body knows it's time to shed old patterns, to come home to safety in your body, to claim your authentic self, to seed what's next in life from a place of alignment and in conjunction with an intimate village of support—this is your invitation.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ENTER.
The Sanctuary doors are still open to join us if you wish to journey inward in community over the dark season.
Joining now means you'll be held through the holidays and winter months—gently detoxing the noise, rewiring the nervous system, and anchoring into the energy that will define your next season of life.
What we do in the inner chamber over the coming weeks will shape what blossoms in the spring.
