I invite you to join me in nature as we walk with intention, purpose and mindfulness. Bring your troubles and your worries, but also your wishes and powerful requests of healing in nature.

There's a quality the east of the Wheel of the Year carries that doesn't get talked about much — common sense.
Not big insight. Not revelation. Just the return of clear, practical thinking that can feel hard to access in the quieter, more inward months of winter.
I notice it every year around early April. Decisions that felt murky start having obvious answers. Things that needed time to sit with are suddenly ready to move on.
If you've been holding something — a decision, a conversation, a direction — check back in with it this week. The clarity you were waiting for may already be here.

Spring has always felt like a retrieval season to me.
In shamanic work, soul retrieval is the practice of recovering parts of yourself that got set aside — usually during harder seasons, when life required you to be more defended or contracted than you naturally are.
Spring has that same quality. Things that went underground come back up.
Sometimes it looks like returning energy. Sometimes it's an old interest that suddenly matters again. Sometimes it's just a quiet feeling of I remember this — a part of yourself you haven't had access to in a while, showing back up.
Pay attention to what's returning for you this season. It's worth welcoming back.

Something worth trying this weekend if you have 10 minutes:
Go outside and find one sign of spring you hadn't noticed yet. Not the obvious ones — look for something small. A single bud. A different bird. The smell of the soil changing.
Then just stay with it for a minute.
Your attention is one of the most valuable things you have, and spring is generous with small things right now. There's something genuinely settling about pointing your focus at something living and new, even briefly.
It doesn't need to be a practice or a ritual. It can just be a moment of noticing.
🌱 Share what you find if you go looking — I'd love to hear.

One thing I ask clients pretty early on:
What's the pattern that keeps showing up no matter how much changes externally?
Same frustration, different job. Same dynamic, different relationship. Same stuck feeling, different chapter.
When something follows you across different circumstances, that's useful information — it means the thing worth looking at is internal, not situational. And that's actually good news, because you have far more access to your inner landscape than you do to external circumstances.
Identifying a pattern clearly is most of the work. Once you can see it, it loses a lot of its grip. It can't run the same way in the light as it does in the dark.
What pattern have you been noticing in your own life lately?

The trees don't leaf out all at once.
It starts with a colour change — that faint green haze you see before any actual leaves appear. Then buds. Then leaves, slowly, over weeks.
There's a sequence to it, and each stage is doing something necessary before the next one begins.
Emergence in our own lives works the same way. The haze stage — that sense of something coming but nothing fully formed yet — is doing real work even when it doesn't look like much from the outside.
You don't have to be in full leaf to be in the process.
Where are you in your own sequence right now — haze, bud, or leaf?

April has its own particular energy of beginning.
The light is actually back. Things are visibly moving outside again. There's something in the air that feels like permission — not pressure, just possibility.
If you've been waiting for a moment that felt genuinely right to start something, this season has that quality to it. Not because of the date, but because your body responds to light and warmth and things growing whether you're paying attention or not.
Something in you already knows it's time to move.
What's one thing you want April to feel like for you?

The birds are absolutely losing their minds out there.
Not in a chaotic way — in a purposeful way. There's this particular aliveness that shows up in the animal world right around now that I find genuinely hard not to smile at.
They're not easing into it. They're just fully in it.
I think there's something in that for us too. Spring doesn't really do half-measures. The light comes back, and everything just responds — fully, and without a lot of second-guessing.
We spend a lot of time managing our enthusiasm. Keeping a lid on hope so we don't get disappointed. Making ourselves smaller than the moment calls for.
What if this spring you just let yourself be a little more alive in it?

I'm going to keep this one simple because sometimes a question is more useful than an explanation:
What would you do this spring if you actually let yourself start?
Not plan. Not research it more. Not wait until the timing is better.
Just — start.
Even small. Even imperfect. Even without knowing where it leads.
The east of the wheel is the place of excited beginnings. It doesn't ask you to have it all together. It just asks you to take the first step while the energy is here for it.
What's yours?

One thing I always notice this time of year — and I hear it from the women I work with too — is this mix of relief and restlessness.
Like something in you is ready to move but hasn't quite found its legs yet.
That's spring energy. That's what renewal actually feels like in a body. It's not graceful right out of the gate. It's a little wobbly. A little impatient.
The trees don't wait until conditions are perfect to bud. They just respond to the light changing.
If you're feeling that mix of ready and not-quite-ready — you're right on schedule.

A little seasonal context in case it's useful:
In the Wheel of the Year — east is the direction of spring. It carries the energy of dawn, of birth, of the first real breath after a long winter.
The qualities associated with it are things like: fresh possibility, glad welcome, excited beginnings, common sense returning after the fog of winter, and a kind of clear-eyed inspiration that's different from the dreamy introspection of the dark months.
It's a time for starting. Not necessarily finishing — that comes later. Just starting.
If you've been waiting until everything felt ready or certain before beginning something, this is the season that tends to loosen that grip a little.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to begin.

Something I think gets missed in all the "new year new you" energy that shows up every spring:
New things are supposed to be tender.
A seedling isn't weak because it's small. It's just new. It hasn't had time to develop roots yet. That's not a flaw in the seedling — that's just where it is in the process.
I work with a lot of women who are hard on themselves for not being further along, for still figuring things out, for not feeling more solid yet.
But if you're in the middle of something new — a new chapter, a new understanding of yourself, a new way of living — tender is appropriate. Tender is actually right on time.
Give new things the conditions they need to grow. Including yourself.
