What if we could stop projecting others for a moment, catch our neediness, unravel our control mechanisms, slow down the subtle manipulation, notice our pull to retract and disconnect, release ourselves from the pity party, drop the ideas of how things should look and finally see the variety of constructs by which we have unconsciously learned to give and receive love… What if our friends unworthiness and shame have another friend to introduce us to? What if we were to

In the next week I will be heading back to the UK for some precious time with family, friends and to hold circle for a beautiful group of women in London. I can feel the excitement bubbling around re-connecting with soul family and it brings to light something that I have been reflecting on for some time: that Aloneness and Togetherness play key roles in the paradoxical nature of the our individual journeys. No one else can feel our bliss, our pain, allow our hearts to crack

A few years back I recognised how my spiritual journey had actually become a ‘spiritual by-passing’ of a big part of my human existence…I had spent years cultivating in silence, diving into blissful states, detaching and basically avoiding deep parts of myself that longed for healing and love. The parts of myself that make me very human, my fears, my emotions, my judgement, my deep childhood trauma and inherited pain… My cultivation turned out to be great preparation for the

With much longing and love I think its really about time I sent you a little update on whats happening this end… Despite my silence you are all never far from my thoughts and heart and quite frankly my trip back to the UK in Octobe

I remember the first day of my yoga teacher training course and being asked why I had chosen to be there…and my answer was simple…’because I wanted to know Real Love’. Back then I felt so much mystery around Love, I knew I was capable of loving others and being loved in return, I knew I was embarking on a journey of Self Love… but somehow my understanding felt so limited…Love felt mysterious to me…unknown, scary, exciting, I knew there was so much for me yet to experience… Si

Happy Diwali, New Moon in Scorpio, Samhain, Hallows Eve, Day of The Dead! A time to give gratitude to the Light and Life, and embrace the Darkness and Death with the same amount of love and devotion. I’m not talking about that ultimate final death at the end of human life, but those little deaths that we face, often on a daily basis. Death is fundamental for our existence…without it there can be no recognition of the total beauty, wonder and blessing that is Life. Death is th
