The Spirit of the Rose - Guardian of the Heart

February carries a lot for me.

My dad's birthday is February 2nd and he has been gone since 2014.
February 2 marked six months since the passing of our son.
My birthday is February 10th. (Another first to move through without you)
My mom's birthday is Febraury 18th and she has been gone since 2002.
February 14th is Valentines day

Last week held many thoughts, many emotions, and a deep need to move gently.

Because of this, February has always felt like my true New Year — It's never been a time of rushing forward for me, and this year has been even more of a quiet turning inward. A time to listen more closely to what my heart is asking for.

This month, I’m bringing in plant medicine and the spirit of the Rose. She's powerful.

The Rose teaches me how to hold grief and love at the same time.
How to stay open without force.
I'm learning how to protect what is tender while still breathing.

On February 17, we also move from the Wood Snake energy of shedding and releasing into the Fire Horse, a faster-moving energy. I am a Wood Snake in Chinese astrology and I felt this to the depths of my soul. I can feel I'm still in the shedding phase. I somehow wish it will last longer. So I am moving with compassion and care for myself.

For me, this doesn’t mean pushing or forcing.
It means choosing methodical, aligned movement.
Action rooted in clarity, not urgency.
Momentum guided by the heart, not pressure.

This is how Sacred Pause Sangha began...quiet, in stillness.
— with gentleness, presence, and attention from the heart rather than intention from the mind.

To open this space, I’m offering a free online gathering guided by The Spirit of the Rose — Guardian of the Heart 🌹

~ Wednesday, February 11
~ 9:00 am MST
~ Online | Free

There is nothing to prepare.
Simply a space to pause, listen, and allow the heart to lead with Rose at the forfront.

This gathering is my birthday gift to you, and the doorway into Sacred Pause Sangha — a monthly rhythm of slowing down, listening deeply, and learning how to move through life without losing ourselves.

Curiosity...My word for my year ahead.

Not the kind that demands answers, rushes to fix, or having control.

But the kind that listens.

This year, I’m letting curiosity lead me back into my body…
into softer questions…
into the spaces where I don’t need to know yet.

I'm sitting with the word Curiosity and allowing questions to reveal themselves.
~What happens if I pause instead of push?
~What is trying to get my attention — not my effort?
~Who would I become if I stop always trying to force the next step?

So much of life has taught us to come from intention —
set the goal, make the plan, do the work.

But curiosity lives in the heart.
It notices.
It stays open.
It allows something new to reveal itself.
This is what I'm so curious about.

This year, I’m choosing curiosity over control.
Presence over pressure.
Listening over striving.

And I’m trusting that what’s meant to unfold… will.

What happens in your body when you sit with the word curiosity.
For me in some ways it's exciting and in other ways it feels a bit foreign to me.

There’s a part of you that remembers a slower way.
A rhythm that isn’t rushed.
A life that allows for stillness, softness, and truth.

Sacred Pause Sangha is an invitation to discover what lives beneath the noise—
To be curious about your own rhythm, your own needs, your own medicine.

You don’t have to arrive with answers.
You only need space.

Space to breathe.
To feel.
To exhale.

This is your sacred pause.
Come home to yourself.

Because without the pause, there is depletion.
Without rest, joy fades.

What would it feel like to belong to a space that celebrates rest as medicine?
To be witnessed in your unfolding, instead of expected to hold it all together?

Let today be your sacred pause.
Let this be your invitation to sit in the pause.

I welcome you to join the community

Sacred Pause looks different at certain times of the day/month/year!

This weekend my Sacred Pause is flying to Kelowna to celebrate with girlfriends.
It will be nourishing being in the energy of people who have no expectations or even an agenda of what this looks like.

Although it’s pretty much a given there will be lots of honest talk, laughter, tears, coffee, order in food, fresh air walks, a scheduled sound bath. And time to just let tge weekend unfold.

What is your Sacred Pause for your weekend?

01/07/2026

There’s a moment in a woman’s life when something inside her whispers,
“Slow down… you’re missing yourself.”

It doesn’t come as a loud demand.
It arrives like a winter snowfall — soft, honest, unhurried —
asking us to lay down what is heavy
and return to what is true.

For a long time now, I’ve felt a quiet invitation growing in my heart…
this longing to create a space where women can breathe again,
rest again, remember again.

A place where we don’t have to pretend we’re fine.
Where our nervous systems can unclench.
Where our rhythms matter more than our productivity.
Where we walk season by season, gently, together.

It’s a space to pause long enough to hear your own truth again — the quiet voice beneath the noise that whispers Mary Oliver’s question:

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

And to finally answer it from a place of steadiness, presence, and deep self-knowing.

Today, that invitation becomes something real.

Sacred Pause Sangha
A year-long sanctuary for women who are ready to reclaim their inner stillness and live with more intention, softness, and seasonal wisdom.

This is not a program.
This is not another thing on your to-do list.
This is a homecoming.

A place where:

your breath becomes medicine

your rituals become nourishment

your body becomes wise again

your heart feels held

your pace becomes sacred

Each month we meet in circle.
Each season we shift in rhythm.
Each week you receive a gentle practice — a pause, not a push.
And slowly, beautifully, something inside begins to thaw…
and open…
and remember.

As I step into this next chapter of my work — of our work —
I feel such tenderness.
Such gratitude.
Such readiness.

If your heart whispered the moment you saw this image…
If somewhere deep inside you’ve been craving quiet, connection, ritual, and presence…
Then maybe — just maybe — this Sangha is calling your name too.

More details coming.
Or if you'd like more info drop a 🧡
But for now… just breathe with me.
She’s here.
She’s arriving with winter’s soft light.
And she’s beautiful.

Sacred Pause Sangha is a seasonal, heart-centered space for women who want to journey along side others to slow down, reconnect, and live in rhythm with themselves again. Through monthly circles, gentle practices, Ayurveda-inspired guidance, and a supportive community, the Sangha offers a sanctuary to rest, regulate, and return to your inner wisdom — one season at a time.

Because your life deserves a rhythm that actually feels like yours.

To your one wild and precious life,

Leslie XO

Grief has a thousand faces, and no two look the same.
Every person moves through it in their own rhythm, their own way, their own sacred timing. There’s no map. No right path. No single expression that explains it all.

Grief is not a chapter you close.
It becomes part of your journey—
not the whole journey, but a powerful, honest part of it —
and you learn how to live a meaningful life with all of it inside you.

It refines what matters, deepens your compassion,
and slowly, gently, it returns you to yourself with a wiser, softer heart. If you let it.

There is one thing almost everyone longs for:
to be heard.
Not analyzed.
Not fixed.
Not pitied.

Just seen.
Just witnessed.
Just met in the truth of where they are.

Most grieving hearts don’t want someone to feel sorry for them — they want someone who can sit beside the pain without turning away. Someone who can hold space, listen deeply, and not rush the process or make it tidy.

Grief doesn’t need comparison or advice.
It needs presence.
It needs compassion.
It needs room to breathe.

And sometimes the most healing gift you can offer someone is simply:
“I’m here. I see you. I’m listening.”

“The heart, when nourished, becomes the seat of courage, compassion, and clarity.”
— Ayurvedic Teaching

10/21/2025

Life is filled with constant change.

And many times, when we experience loss — it’s a change we never wanted to happen.

Yet, I’ve come to recognize that even amidst loss, there can be moments of quiet reawakening. A soft awareness that whispers,
“You can stand again, even in the midst of what feels broken.”

In the raw edges of grief, we begin to touch the deeper roots of resilience — learning how to move forward, not by forgetting, but by allowing love and loss to coexist. Where pain becomes purpose.

Because love and grief are a package deal.
One does not exist without the other.

It is a sacred dance. When there comes a moment when the heart begins to open again — when light slowly finds its way back in.

That’s why I created Eternal Grace: A Healing Ritual for the Heart — a 2.5-hour Ayurvedic experience designed to help you rest, release, and gently rediscover your strength.

Through Abhyanga massage, hot stones, Heart Basti, and Yoga Nidra with sound bath, you are invited into stillness — a place where your heart can soften, and your spirit can begin to mend.

You’ll also take home a 10 ml Eternal Grace Anointing Oil and a Yoga Nidra for the Heart meditation to continue your ritual of healing.

Introductory Special: $300 until October 31 (Regular $350)

Integration Time

Today was my last day at Sitaram Beach Retreat

One last treatment.
One last doctor’s visit.
One last walk to the sea to sit and listen to the waves.

This morning the Brahminy kite appeared once more, circling above — a final wave goodbye.

When I lifted my camera to capture the moment, I noticed a plane flying through the same sky. A reminder it was time to move forward.

Today, on the sacred festival of Dussehra, we honor the eternal victory of light over darkness, clarity over confusion — and harmony over imbalance.

In many ways, this mirrors the inner battle we each face daily: the struggle to find peace, energy, and true rest in a noisy, overstimulated and over all consuming world.

Through the rhythm of Panchakarma, I have had some deep reflections on my life.

For 21 days, I fully embodied the treatments, rituals, and routines. It was not only medicine for my body but also for the mind, heart, and spirit. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual baggage — toxins, grief, old burdens — have been loosened and released into the sea, into the sky, into the earth.

I am forever changed.

Now I ask myself: Who am I? What is my purpose?

I don’t need the answers today. They will arrive in their own time.

For now, I trust the unfolding.
Deep gratitude to Dr. Vignesh and his incredible team of doctors and staff — who work with such diligence, kindness, and devotion, always greeting with a smile and a namaste.

For the lectures that expanded my mind, the chanting that soothed my heart, the yoga that grounded my body, the Panchakarma that purified my being, and the rhythm of routine and nourishment that reset my life when i needed it most— thank you.

I have learned so much that has deepened my love and passion for Ayurveda even more.

Grateful. Honoured. Humbled by the gift of this experience.

Now it is integration time. Just as Dussehra reminds us to let light lead the way, I return home with that same intention — to carry the lessons of balance, presence, and release into my daily life. To weave Ayurveda not just into my work, but into the rhythm of how I live and love.

And so ready for what awaits me on the other side of 29 hours of flights — the arms of my family and friends, the laughter of my grandchildren, the comfort of home. ❤️

Thank you, Sitaram Beach. Until next time.

And in the words of Mary Oliver, I return with this question in my heart:

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
