"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance." -Japanese proverb

Long enjoyed as part of Winter Solstice traditions across time and culture, dancing can truly be the soul-healing medicine we need to shift our energy during this darkest time of year.

Whether we choose to celebrate the solstice with lit candles and fires burning all night, we can dance as a way to keep our own inner fire stoked and our inner light ...

"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." -Dumbledore

What if death wasn't the terrible, absolute worst-case scenario that we spend our whole lives fearfully trying to avoid?

What if discussing death could actually make us feel better about life?

Autumn is the perfect time for discussing such dark things - the season that ushers in and embraces death in nature's yearly cycle.

And by the end of ...

"A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men." - Roald Dahl

As children, we don't need to define what playing is - we just go outside, let our imaginations take over, and get weird with it.

But, somewhere along the way, it seems we stop knowing how to get weird with it.

Listen along to re-define play as an adult, create your play to-do list, and re-infuse your life with the driving force of play!

May you unleash ...

Within every cell of our bodies, there is both yin and yang energy.

And yin and yang balance each other, support each other, keep each other in check.

But if balance is written into our very cells, then why does it always feel so elusive and impossible to maintain in our lives?!

Just a few days past the Autumn Equinox we are in a state of near-perfect balance of yin and yang energies. And we can use this to our advantage as we fina...

Every year as the summer begins to wane, we look back and think, how time flies!

Our most common sayings about time are speaking to our relationship with Father Time - also known as 'chronos' time, a Greek word for time.

But unlike us, the Greeks also had a second word for the concept of time: 'Kairos.'

"In a Kairos moment, the world stops...and it...

Instead of trying so hard to “be spiritual,” what’s the most spiritual thing you can do? 

Be your true authentic self. 

I believe your soul chose your personality to help you carry out your life mission here. It’s a tool for you to use - but you have to know how to use the tool. 

When we rediscover who we really are at our core and give ourselves permission to live in alignment with that - underneath the conditioning of our wounds,...

This week we celebrate the Summer Solstice! It's a time of celebration, culmination, and basking in the light.

But life isn't just about thriving in the good times, or feeling joy and gratitude when everything is going our way.

The real secret is knowing HOW to find the sweetness during the hard times, the dark times, the times when things aren't going the way we would like them to.

With hummingbird as our guide, this is the perfec...

When the world is awash in springtime abundance, but you're just not feeling it?

It might be a reality check about how you're living your life, and how out-of-alignment you might be with the messages of your soul.

Learn to connect with your intuition - the inner compass that will keep you forever soul-aligned, plus discover the 8 barriers to trusting your intuition that are tripping you up and keeping you from feeling the joyful ab...

We tend to think our purpose here is to make money, or make children, or build a business, or make a name for ourselves, or change the world in big systemic ways.

But do we consider that it might be our purpose to be JOYFUL?

How drastically would we have to alter our lives and our jobs and our aspirations if every day our main goal was to be joyful?

Learn to heed the call of your Soul, have the courage to recognize what is no longe...

"The world is a weave of energy and every human being is a thread on that Great Weave..." -Amantha Murphy, The Way of the Seabhean: An Irish Shamanic Path

The Spring Equinox really marks the beginning of Nature’s New Year, so this is an excellent time for planting seeds of intention; it’s a time to know what we really want!

So with the right energetic conditions in place around us, let’s do some tending to our inner conditions – o...

"The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear." -Daniel Defoe

Consider for a moment that, like a diamond, you too start out in a 'less-polished' state and it is only through the application of extreme pressure, a bit of heat, and the passage of time that your true brightness really begins to shine.

But, unlike the diamond, we have the added responsibility of free w...

If you peel back the “NEW BEGINNINGS” overlay that we’ve put onto January and pay attention to the energy of the season beneath the expectations, you’ll find that we’re smack dab in the middle of the dead of winter.

And winter…is a time for deep rest, restoration, healing, quiet, solitude, stillness.

Not exactly New Year resolution energy, eh?!

So here's what we can choose to do at this time of year instead - that still honors ne...

"There is a crack in everything...that's how the light gets in." -Leonard Cohen

No matter how much our lives become a whirlwind of chaos or uncertainty, the Winter Solstice arrives every year on schedule in the darkest time of year bringing us a tiny shred of light - imperceptible at first! - to each and every day - bringing us the reminder of HOPE.

But may we first wisely use this much needed season of darkness, quietude and resto...

"You don't know who they will be, the ones who open your eyes to life's wild magic..."

How do you perceive the things in your life?

Before judging something in your life as being very very bad, can you leave a little space for the possibility that it is also very good?

It’s hard to know how life will unfold when viewed from our zoomed-in vantage point. But trust that when you zoom out and look down below, there is a plan in place.

When a caterpillar enters the chrysalis it becomes a liquid soupy mess before eventually becoming the stunning butterfly or moth.

The Chrysalis is a phase in our lives that ushers us into our next Becoming. But we have to allow the time and space for it to occur. Otherwise we remain stuck in Caterpillar Land forever.

Let's use this covid time/enforced-chrysalis-phase in our lives to wrestle with some fear and pain and emerge int...

FIRE-AIR-EARTH-WATER: No, it's not Captain Planet. It’s a Myers Briggs Personality Types/Elements of Nature Mashup!

Are you a snail like me – burrowing into the deep? Or perhaps instead of burrowing, you tend to swirl, or ignite, or stabilize?
