The life of being an entrepreneur and a helper can feel like a lonely path at times. I know many creatives doing purpose-driven work can relate— especially those of us who are bringing heart-centered ways into systems shaped by capitalism and motivated by false power.
Over the past years, I walked through profound loss. I bore witness to the deaths of my father and other beloved family members and relationships, after long seasons of trauma leading up to each goodbye. My grief was enormous, heavy.
I was navigating compound loss and grief during a season that stretched me in ways I never imagined.
And still—when it felt like too much—birds kept flying in with words of comfort and hope.
The *mothers*.
The spiritual teachers.
The horses.
The mentors.
The ones who kept shining the light, calling, “this way… keep going.”
The one who said “one day you’ll look back at this and be in awe of what you were able to overcome”.

On this World Meditation Day and Winter Solstice, I find myself resting in not needing to have it all figured out. In finding my way back to myself, no longer trying to fit into old, conditioned versions of who I was, versions shaped by internalized harm and self-abandonment.
What shines through most right now is a teaching that keeps learning me:
Never alone.
To witness old belief systems fall away is humbling.
The wounding and the healing exist side by side.
Now, when it looks like I’m alone, I know better.

I continue to discover this by remembering and returning to the present moment where I inter-exist and am interdependent with all sentient beings.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing a new series on Collective Healing—exploring what it means to heal in community. I’ll be sharing teachings on radical interdependence, relational neuroscience, and collective and intergenerational trauma.
More soon 🤍

This was such a beautiful manifestation of what happens when passionate women come together, showing up for each other, in community, moving breathing and healing together. Celebrating and appreciating you Lehla. Thank you for bringing me into your special day in such a meaningful way, and for allowing me to contribute by offering my work.

The very next day was my anniversary event where I discussed my personal journey with Fibromyalgia: how I got to that point, what I did to manage my symptoms and eventually heal, and what I did...

Just an arty tree shot that got me thinking about Light and Dark
without light there is no dark, without dark, no light. Yin and Yang rely on each other.
Inherently, we as human beings have our shadows, the dark, hidden places in ourselves we think we can not, should not expose to the light, for fear of being exposed.
Invitation to bring into the fullness of your experience the dark and hidden places, bring them into your heart with love. Breathe back into the place of self empathy where the dark can become embraced in the wholeness of your being.
Love, light and life

A common response to try and overcome our wounding is to self-protect. This happens on a subconscious level. We try everything in our power to ensure we won’t feel that pain again. The cruel joke here is the wisdom for how to heal our wounds is inside the pain of the scars we carry.

In trying to avoid pain, we end up tensing against it. By attempting to avoid similar situations running on the fuel of fear, we wind up re-creating the same patterns. We end up creating a protective layer around our hearts that inadvertently cuts us off from healing. Our wounded, essential self is still holding the grief and pain underneath the wall we built up around ourselves.

Let’s shift gears for a moment. Imagine yourself, standing on the edge of a cliff. You’re getting ready to dive. What do you do? First, pause. Breathe, feel your feet. Take in what is happening. Notice. Do you run from the fear? Maybe not. Maybe you breathe with fear, you let it become the power that can move you off that ledge into the water below. Then it can be the graceful swan dive that comes from becoming aware and present in the moment.

In doing this, we foster integration. Integration is about befriending and expanding capacity for experiences. When we increase our capacity to hold our experiences, we can live a full and connected life.

What happens next is up to you. But at least you met the fear. At least you learned to be present to your experience and to not run away, at least not immediately. Possibly, you looked around, down, up, all around to see what is there in that moment to support you. And in that meeting of meeting yourself, you created a moment of connection and through it, you met peace, joy and love.

The invitation here is to dive into the unknown with your very next breath. Even with the pain of grief or insecurity, you are whole and complete. And it’s okay for it to take time to trust that.

The question is, are you going to let it stop you?

Full Moon in Leo,
Blessing, take rest, know you are worthy and whole.
May we hold ourselves with care. May we see mind illuminate shadow, the underworld of ourselves that has been excavated. May we shine the light of awareness upon our hearts.

Today, we need practices of intimacy and tools for taking care of ourselves more than ever. In recent times, we have been exposed, whether directly or indirectly to traumatizing events and invasive images. When these experiences get sustained over a period, we may continue to be flooded emotionally and energetically years after the events took place.

The trauma we are carrying is not a personal experience in my view; rather it is part of a larger field of awakening. Systems of trauma are hard to see and it’s how the systems are holding trauma that needs to be looked at. For those of us who are neurodivergent and/or highly-sensitive/gifted, we may be more tuned into the myriad ways our systems are holding trauma, whether those systems are educational in nature, or in our governments, or the general extractive capitalistic structure we live in.

Yoga is intimacy, but not the yoga we think of as yoga in the west today. What I did not know when I went to yoga for the first time is the spiritual path it is and how it would continue to evolve. Over many years of continuing to come back to our mats, we as movement and yoga practitioners can begin to recover a sense of safety and connection with our bodies. We practice meeting ourselves intimately on our mats or on a cushion, and compassion naturally arises. This is radical action. This is waking up. And it is enough to meet the challenges of today by doing less action and more going inside.

It doesn’t have to be one-hour practice of yoga. It can be five minutes sitting against a wall just noticing the tension in your shoulders. It doesn’t have to be the perfect practice, the perfect movement or posture, the yoga is in the showing up. Keep showing up. It’s enough. It’s what we need in our communities today in order to wake up from the collective trance of unworthiness.

The motivation I needed to write this came as I found myself rejoining my zen meditation community in Vancouver. Seeing the familiar faces, the creaky floor boards as we walked silently, the practice felt like coming home, of belonging.
This theme of coming home is a thread, a purpose that has been running through my life. This past year, there has been for me a process of "taking leave". I have felt at times the messy unravelling within an unfurling process of learning to trust myself.

Most recently I feel the warm embrace of homecoming in my various communities and of returning to myself. A mantra I find useful to work with when I am practicing with this idea of remembering is "I am home". Home is not a place but alive in my body, relationships and heart. There are tendrils of light that connect our hearts to one another, whether in this plane of existence or another.

This idea of homecoming may ask each of us, where do we find home? What does it mean to be at home? Is home a place? Is it this planet? If earth is home, how does the way we treat her reflect how we feel and treat ourselves?
When we come into the energy of our heart we can discover the peace that is our true home.
