Setting intentions, manifesting visions.
Despite floods and torrential rain, eleven women came together from across Sydney to create their Soul Vision Boards yesterday.
It was fun, sociable, creative... and magical.
Vision boards really are where science and woo meet to bring your dreams to life.
I can't wait to watch theirs unfold!

Thanks to everyone who booked in for the Vision Board Workshop tomorrow. I can't wait! It's going to be fun.
Tickets are closed now.
If you wish you could have come, let me know. If there's enough interest I'll do another one.

Only a few spaces left! It'll be fun - come along!
This isn’t a “cut pictures out of magazines and hope for the best” kind of vision board.
Before a single image is chosen, we slow right down and journey inward, beneath the thinking mind, to listen to what your soul and subconscious are already responding to.
The desires that emerge aren’t always the ones you expected.
But they’re the ones that matter.
And once the board is created, we don’t stop there.
We decode it, uncovering the themes, symbols and deeper messages so you understand what you’re truly calling in for 2026.
This is why women return to their boards again and again throughout the year.
Soul Vision Board Workshop

I've been making vision boards for so many years - and have lots of stories to tell!😄
I've been running them for years too. Women return year after year because they're fun, sociable, creative - and they work!
This year's workshop has evolved a little bit. Come along and see what's different
We only protect what we love. Most of us have forgotten how to fall in love with the natural world.
This is part of the introduction to this book written by Clare Andersen, to help us remember that it's not too late to fall in love with our planet again.
It's full of stories from people whose lives are shaped by the natural world.
These are stories by people who are well known, and people who aren't. Writers, artists,adventurers, scientists, farmers, athletes, and more.
And. I'm in there too! Humbled, honoured, and a bit nonplussed - but proud as well.
It's a lovely book. I recommend you get a copy!

So how do we get people to care?

I hope the beginning of 2026 was rejuvenating and everything you hoped it would be.

It’s Midsummer’s Eve, the Summer Solstice, and a time of big magic.
I’ve borrowed a tradition I first heard about in England, called the 13 Magical Nights.
You write down 13 wishes or intentions on 13 small pieces of paper. These are statements of fact for the year ahead – the life you’re calling in – written as though it’s already happening. Each wish goes on its own piece of paper. Fold them up and keep them somewhere safe.
After sundown on the Solstice, you take one piece of paper at random each night for 12 nights and release it – by burning it, burying it, or letting it go in some other meaningful way.
Make sure you don’t look at it. It’s important that you don’t know which one it is. The idea is that you’re handing it over to the universe to take care of.
On the 13th night – the 2nd of January – you open and read the final piece of paper. This one you keep. This is your responsibility to make real. It becomes something to return to throughout the year. You might put it in your diary or journal, or on your altar – somewhere that feels meaningful.
I like to keep a list of my intentions too, and at the end of the year I come back to them and reflect on what unfolded.

A bit of Solstice magic
It’s Midsummer’s Eve / Summer Solstice – a powerful moment to pause and set intentions.
I love a tradition called The 13 Magical Nights.
You write 13 wishes or intentions for the year ahead – written as if they’re already true – each on its own small piece of paper. Fold them up and keep them safe.
From the night of the Solstice, for 12 nights in a row, take one piece of paper at random and release it without reading it. Burn it, bury it, or let it go in a way that feels meaningful. The idea is to hand it over to the universe.
On the 13th night, 2 January, you open the final piece of paper.
This one you keep.
This one is yours to bring to life.
I love revisiting my intentions at the end of the year to see what unfolded.

Testimonials:
Hi Shan, I wanted to thank you so much for the gift of your RTT session. It truly was wow! Wow! Wow! I am feeling so much better in myself. I am noticing since the session the clawing hunger for food I had seems to have relaxed its grip on me and I am feeling so much lighter. I am listening to the audio each night and feel so relaxed and happy to do so. This shows me that any resistance I had has melted away. How did I get so lucky? I am so grateful and thankful for your working with me and your professionalism. There is nothing I would change at all. Thanks again. - Helena.
I recently had a session with Shan to deal with my fear of being in enclosed spaces and in particular lifts. I’m pleased to say that I’m now riding the lift quite happily and I still have the recording of our session, if I feel the need to listen to it again. I was amazed at how quickly I worked through it. Thank you Shan for your professionalism, insight and guidance. I have no hesitation in recommending Shan - Molly
Fabulous RTT session. The tape recording is brilliant. I listen at least twice a day – once in the morning and when I go to bed. Total relaxation. The feeling of complete exhaustion I have been experiencing for a long time now has gone. FANTASTIC! - Claudine
