This weekend I had two events on my calendar, both I would have loved to attend. But I knew I didn't have the energy for both and I would need to make a decision.
In the past, my people pleasing self would have pushed through, ignoring the signals my body and heart were giving me. This time, I listened, I honoured my capacity and chose the one I felt deeply called to and what would nurture me most in this moment.
And today, I gathered in a drumming circle with a group of wise women, under the watchful branches of an ancient grandmother tree. Together we drummed, we sang, we remembered and called in the women who came before us. The matriarchs, the givers of life, the keepers of wisdom, the ones who taught us to stand in our power and listen to the stories carried on the wind.
We planted marigolds with our intentions of what we wish to pass down to those who come after us.
It was a time of recharging, reconnecting with nature, and feeling the strength of lineage moving through us.
Grandmother Tree reminding us that we are part of something so much bigger and that we carry the wisdom of those before us.
I share this as a reminder, it's more than ok to choose you. To honour your intuition, to listen to your body, to follow your heart over your head. To not feel you need to do it all.
Sometimes, the most powerful choice we can make is to pause, listen, and choose what nurtures our soul.
Big heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to for facilitating such nurturing, magical afternoon. ✨💛
