Beautiful Soul,
I hope this dark moon and season of connecting with the other side ~ the unseen ~ is treating you gently and revealing many beautiful treasures to you.
We’ve entered Scorpio season — in all ways, this is a time of emptying out, facing the darkness, the void, of going deep, and releasing in order to create space for what’s to come.
What is your body telling you right now as the seasons shift?
For me, it’s a palpable and very visceral shift — within and without. After a very full several months of serving others through retreats, yoga classes, counselling & energy work, my body is guiding me to slow wayyyyy down and do wayyyyy less.
In line with nature’s wisdom and cycles, this is a time to draw our energy INWARD, to begin going into the cave, to pray, to be with the ancestors, to be with God/Goddess.
For this reason, I do find that witches, magical and wise women of all kinds naturally feel very inspired at this time of the year….
🌑 WOMAN IN THE SKY 🌕
Beginning next week on November 7th, I’ll be facilitating the first round of a new immersive coaching program, Woman in the Sky.
For 40 Days, together we will be deeply nurturing and claiming our primal feminine Shakti energy, and the power we have to create ourselves and the world anew.
As a culture and as individuals, in so many ways we are completely burned out, exhausted. Our nervous systems are so overstimulated and dysregulated — often living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn (understandable in the world we’re living in) — that we tend towards trying to do more to feel safe and secure, “fix” things, feel better.
The thing is, we can’t shift a culture or feeling of chronic stress & exhaustion by doing MORE things. Counterintuitive, I know. We can’t create a new reality using the tools or strategies of the old reality.
We must shift our entire way of being.
What kind of world do we want to create for future generations? What is our deepest heart’s wish? Are we embodying that?
We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.
—Einstein
This is about doing less, not more. Drawing our energy inward, instead of directing it outward.
When we as women fight or go against our rhythms, we feel irritable, exhausted, bitter, frustrated, out of sync, much less lit up from within…..
We simply cannot bring our best, be of service to each other and the world when our energy is depleted - when there is no fuel in the tank.
We must tend to ourselves, deeply resting and restoring our powerful & healing feminine energy, in order to show up in the ways we most want to for our communities and the world.
We must nurture ourselves first. Again, often counterintuitive when there is so much need and disarray around us.
Woman in the Sky:
40 Day Immersion to Embody the Woman You’re Meant to Be
November 7th - December 17th, 2024
A woman in her feminine is a woman truly in her power.
What does this really mean? It’s a lived, embodied experience, one that we’ll learn more about and explore in the coming weeks.
The world is too loud, and we often forget that it is our job as a woman to turn down the noise and hear the deeper call — of what the world, and we, truly need.
These things aren’t disconnected. When we honour ourselves, we honour the Earth. This is revolutionary.
Listening to the call within and living our dharma (our true calling and life’s purpose), requires turning inward and communicating with Spirit.
We’ll be learning to connect with our intuitive knowing and the unseen realms of creation.
Through this process, we will experience the rebirth on the other side of Scorpio’s transformative magic, just in time for the Winter Solstice and return of the light.
We’ll be learning to cultivate our inner energy and light during this most dark, yin time of year. We, ourselves, will light up like the lamps that are so desperately needed in the darkness.
The Woman in the Sky has long, beautiful hair and skin that glows. She smiles from a place deeper than the centre of the earth. She has a beautiful speaking voice, and she can sing. She has mothered us all. We have inherited her gifts and her healing powers. In ancient agreement, we have come to this point to remember her together. Like a volcano erupting after years of stillness, we now explode with heat and power and liquid strength.
The Woman in the Sky has entered into us. Like every aspect of the cosmic energy of which she is a part, she permeates the cells of those who have invited her in. She gives us new life, that we might give it to others. Through her power within us, we redeem all things.
—Marianne Williamson
