Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Some see this holiday as a purely commercial event, a “Hallmark moment”, focusing only on romantic love and partnerships, flowers and chocolate, and candlelit dinners. As for me, I look at Valentine's Day as a soul work prompt, an opportunity to raise my awareness to ALL the relationships in my life,… Continue reading Celebrate your Self on Valentine’s Day

September Soul Work prompt
Ah, September. This month crept up on me ever so slowly, ever so quietly. I somehow rushed full tilt through July and August and suddenly it’s September. What does September mean to you? As a child, for me it meant the end of summer vacation and going back to school, getting a new school outfit… Continue reading September Soul Work prompt
MoonDay Musings: Meditation in liminal places

Build a relationship with Land

Let’s dance!
Photo by Peter Conlan on Unsplash Today, April 29th, is International Dance Day! There is something wonderful about dancing... moving... connecting to the music and the rhythm... that beautiful sense of letting go of our busy "monkey mind" and just expressing our Self from that wordless place of emotion in our heart and soul.
