New Moon in Scorpio — 20 Nov 🌑

A deep, transformative reset is here. This moon pulls us inward, asking us to slow down, feel, and tell the truth to ourselves.

1. Ancestral Connection
The veil thins and the wisdom of those who came before feels closer. This is a powerful time to honour your lineage, call in protection, and receive the strength of your roots.
2. Endings and Beginnings
Scorpio brings necessary upheaval — not to break you, but to clear what has been lingering in the shadows. Old cycles complete so a truer beginning can take form.
3. Facing the Darkness

This moon asks you to look at what you’ve been avoiding. To descend into the inner cave and meet the truth waiting there. In the Year of the Snake, this is the final shedding…the last skins coming off so you can rise lighter, clearer, more aligned.

Suggested Ritual Ideas:
• Sit quietly in the dark or by candlelight and invite your ancestors or guides to draw close.
• Journal on: “What am I finally ready to release?” and “What part of me is ready to be reborn?”
• Write down an old belief or pattern and bury, burn, or submerge it in water as a symbolic release.
• Set one clear intention for the new cycle, anchored in truth rather than desire to please.

A potent moment to release, reset, and step into the next version of yourself.

Tip of the Day: The Power of Breathwork

On busy mornings — after the school run, before clients, when my mind is already five steps ahead — the one thing that brings me straight back into my body is my breath.

You don’t need a perfect setup, a long practice, or a quiet room.
Just a few conscious breaths can shift your entire state. I know you already know this- but this is your reminder 😊

🌬️ A few minutes of slow, intentional breathing can soften the mind, settle the nervous system and bring you back into yourself.
🌬️ A simple round of continuous breathing with short breath holds can create surprising clarity and deep peace.
🔥 A round or two of Breath of Fire can wake up your core, sharpen your focus and spark energy for the day.

But please note: Breathwork is a tool in your toolkit— not a prescription.
Every practice lands differently in every body.
Some people thrive with breath holds. Others feel more grounded with gentle diaphragmatic breathing. And for some, breath restriction can bring up old memories or emotional imprints — especially if breath was part of a past trauma.

This is why we build slowly.
With curiosity, care and respect for your unique system. Remembering you are in charge- adapt and change suggestions so that it feels safe and comfortable in your being.

Once you find the practices your body truly loves…
breathwork becomes simple, free, and something you can weave into any moment of your day.

✨ A powerful addition to your self-care toolkit. ✨

🌕 Ta**us Super Full Moon

Full Moons invite us to let go and surrender. Today, with the moon is in Ta**us energy, it is a potent time to release attachment to the material world — the things, patterns, and identities that once made us feel seemingly ‘safe’ but now weigh us down.

We’re invited to simplify. To let go of the heaviness that comes from over-responsibility or striving for external worth.

As you soften your grip, what do you find that is truly valuable to you?

For me I notice;

The simplicity of the present moment
The beauty that is all around me
The gratitude I feel for life
How when I hold onto excess stuff, I feel stifled and overwhelmed

This moon calls us home to true abundance — not what we own, but how deeply we can feel, rest, and receive.

What are you ready to release?
What truly brings you comfort and peace? 🌿

🌸Meet Your Hosts — Rachelle & Laura 🌸

Some collaborations are born from strategy… and others are born from friendship, laughter, and long walks up a mountain.

We first met when our kids were in kindy — two mums bonding over yoga, meditation, music, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life. Our paths kept weaving together — from kids’ soccer games to our weekly Mt Coot-tha hikes (where some of our best ideas were dreamt up!).

Then it was the year of the Snake 🐍 Laura came to visit Rachelle in Bali — a spontaneous getaway to Ubud filled with yoga, nourishing food, waterfalls, and deep conversation. Somewhere between the jungle air and sunset swims, the vision for Embodied Power Women’s Retreat came alive.

Over the past 10 months, Rachelle has been in Bali finding the perfect places — the villa, the day trips, the balance of beach, jungle, waterfall, and spirit. Each detail infused with the intention to create something different:
✨ away from the hustle and bustle
✨ away from the well-walked paths
✨ and into a space where you can rest, reconnect, and remember your true essence

We can’t wait to welcome you here.
A fusion of friendship, embodied practice, and the magic of Bali — created from the heart.

Today we meet the Equinox — equal light and dark, yin and yang, masculine and feminine. A moment of balance, harmony, and ease.

After a big, tumultuous eclipse season, this is a chance to soften, to pause, and to return to your own centre. 🌗

Ask yourself:
What am I ready to release?
What is ready to be nurtured and grown?
Do you need to focus on letting go or building up to find my balance point?

Let this turning point be your invitation to align with the rhythm of the Earth, to honour both the stillness and the becoming. 🌱🌞🌙

Spring invites renewal — a season of fresh energy, new beginnings, and planting the seeds of what we wish to grow. In Chinese medicine, this is the time to nourish the Wood element (Liver + Gallbladder), connected to vision, clarity, and forward movement. Supporting your body with grounding and gentle detox practices helps balance the upward surge of Spring energy.

Spring also carries the Air element, lifting us into the mind, ideas, and possibilities — but it can tip into overthinking or feeling ungrounded. Staying anchored in your body is key: hydrate well, eat light and nourishing foods, and bring grounding movement into your day.

Take a moment to reflect with these journal prompts:
🌱 What seeds am I ready to plant this Spring?
🌱 How can I invite more clarity and stillness into the rising energy of early Spring?
🌱 What grounding or detox practices could support my body, mind, and spirit right now?

Spring is your chance to align with nature’s rhythm — and step into this new cycle with balance and intention.

To explore this deeper, please join me on Monday 22nd September to breath and feel into Spring. Booking link in bio.

VIRGO NEW MOON + PARTIAL ECLIPSE MEDITATION JOURNEY
Monday 22 September | 1:30pm AEST | 11:30am Bali
Approx 60mins duration plus time for journaling afterwards
Live on Zoom | Replay Available

This Virgo New Moon arrives with a partial eclipse, just one day before the Spring Equinox — a powerful moment of transition and renewal.

After the intensity of winter and the eclipse portal, this is the time when clarity begins to return. As the particles settle, vision naturally arises. Nothing needs to be forced — simply take space, breathe, and allow the seeds of Spring to reveal themselves.

This lunation marks the true beginning of the new cycle — the endings of the 9/9/9 portal are complete, and we are invited into balance, grounded clarity, and fresh beginnings under Virgo’s steady, earthy embrace.

Join me for a one-hour journey of breathwork and guided meditation to settle your energy, find inner peace, and open to the experiences that are ready to unfold in your life.

What’s really going on with the Lion’s Gate Portal? 🦁💫
You’ve probably seen the date 8/8 (August 8) everywhere this week — and heard it’s the “peak of a powerful energetic gateway.” Even from me!

Every year on 8/8, the Lion’s Gate Portal is said to open as the Sun aligns with Sirius — one of the brightest stars in the sky — and Orion’s Belt rises over the pyramids of Egypt.

But what’s actually happening in the stars?

→ Sirius isn’t in Orion’s Belt (they’re close, but distinct).
→ Astronomically, Sirius aligns with the Sun in early July — not August.

So where does 8/8 come from?

It’s symbolic:
🦁 Leo Season + the spiritual meaning of the number 8 (abundance, infinity, cycles) = a potent energetic portal.

Each year around this time, Sirius rises just before dawn — a heliacal rising — and is said to align with Orion’s Belt and the Sun in Leo. This timing shifts slightly each year and depends on where you are in the world. Still, early August holds powerful energetic symbolism.

In ancient Egypt, this rising coincided with the flooding of the Nile — a time of rebirth, nourishment, and divine abundance. Today, many tune into it as a time to remember their cosmic origin, activate soul-level codes, and reconnect with purpose.

✨ And this year brings a bonus:
We have a Full Moon in Aquarius the very next day — August 9 AEST / August 8 elsewhere — adding another layer to the portal energy.

Aquarius invites us to zoom out, witness the collective, and alchemise emotion into vision. It asks:

— Am I walking the path of my true self?
— What outdated emotional patterns am I ready to release?
— How can I express my unique frequency to serve the greater whole?

🌟 I’ll be guiding a Lion’s Gate Meditation Journey to help you anchor these energies.
Think: cosmic connection, soul codes, activation, and integration.

Want in? Link in bio.

✨ BONUS: DM me “LION” and I’ll send you my post-journey journal prompts + affirmations for deeper integration.

LION’S GATE | 8.8 PORTAL

This Friday, the Lion’s Gate peaks — and I’m guiding a midday breathwork + meditation to activate your energy with the full power of this cosmic alignment.

But here’s the thing...

You don’t have to know what you’re manifesting.
You don’t need a vision board or a perfect plan.
You don’t even have to like the word manifestation.

I truly believe that receiving what’s meant for us comes from clarity, surrender, and getting out of our own way.

This isn’t about controlling the universe —
(gosh, who do we think we are? 😅)
It’s about letting it work through us.
Guiding us. Activating us.
Raising our frequency so we can receive more than our minds could ever imagine.

Join me in the fire of your own becoming.

🦁 Friday 8.8
🕛 1pm AEST / 11am BALI
