The Value of Stillness

Sacred space between – the space between movement and frenetic energy – in the stillness, your inspiration for new adentures are born. The stillness, as well as the movement, is sacred. Both are necessary for the beautiful unfolding of this magnificent life experience. You are drawn to movement. But stillness has played an equally formative…

Sacred Wounds

Last year, my daughters and I did the Asungate trek in Peru, which took us to 17,000 ft. (5,200 meters). Laying in my tent at 15,000 feet, under a full moon, I felt more at home than I would have felt in my own bed.  Motion is my art form. Movement is the thing that…

Overcoming Challenges

The challenges in your life are gifts, specifically chosen for you, to teach you something important that you might otherwise have missed. The nature of this challenge is not important. It may have to do with relationships, finances, career, or health. All challenges have the same underlying energetic function: to help you honor your soul…

Claim Your Sovereignty

Surrender now to love. Release everything that is not this truth: You are the essence of love in human form. The divine breathes with your every breath. The blood running through your veins is sacred. Surrender your illusion of separation. Surrender to the flow of love that is all around you now, in this moment.…

What Measuring Stick Are You Using?

Life doesn’t celebrate what you’ve achieved. It celebrates who you’ve become. When you measure yourself – seeking your value, your worth – according to your achievements, you are using the wrong measuring stick. You will never feel worthy, no matter how much you achieve.

Choose Happiness

Nothing is worth trading for your happiness. Fear is a poor reason not to live the life of your dreams. Don’t allow fear to steal what is rightfully yours. Pure joy, bliss, ecstasy: these are the rewards for living boldly. These are the gifts received when you finally release fear and choose life. Stop living…

Release Control

As counterintuitive as it sounds, your power lies in your ability to consistently, willingly and easily release control. Relax into the space between and turn your body and mind over to your soul’s perspective. Release attachments to the arbitrary life circumstances that form the foundation of your social validation. Achievements, beauty, athleticism, social standing; all…

Call to Ceremony

You are called to sacred ceremony to commune with the Infinite. Your soul longs for this connection. Your spirit is thirsty for the life-giving water ceremony provides.  Ceremony is not the same as ritual. Ceremony is self-designed, inspired by Spirit. The components of ceremony change depending on what your own spirit is craving.  Approach ceremony…

Are You Called to Ceremony?

Ceremony has had its roots in every culture, throughout all of human history. Whether honoring birth, death, marriage, rites of passage, or the changing of the seasons, ceremony marks the passage of time and provides context to our lives. In indigenous cultures, many of these traditions include the ceremonial use of plant-based medicines. The United…

Hidden Agreements

Just over two years ago, my husband and I went through a divorce… and I have yet to go on a date. I told myself many stories as to why that was the case. First, I simply wasn’t interested in dating. Then, a highly itinerant lifestyle prevented me from developing close relationships. When I finally…
