May this new year unfold with light and promise.
May your body feel strong, your mind feel clear
and your heart remain open to possibility.

May you awaken with purpose in your breath
and rest at night knowing you did enough.

May opportunity meet your effort,
patience walk beside ambition,
and challenges sharpen you
without ever hardening you.

May laughter arrive often and stay awhile.
May love, old and new, grow deeper, truer.

May you give freely without losing yourself,
and receive fully, without hesitation.

And when the road bends without warning,
may you trust the strength you’ve earned
and the wisdom you carry to guide you.

May this be a year of steady growth,
honest joy, and gentle courage,
a future that feels not only hopeful,
but open and welcoming too. 🧡

Happy Winter Solstice and Yule!

There is a tendency to want to hurry from autumn to spring, to avoid the long dark days that winter brings. Many people do not like constant days bereft of light and months filled with colder temperatures. They struggle with the bleakness of land and the emptiness of trees. Their eyes and hearts seek color. Their spirits tire of tasting the endless gray skies. There is great rejoicing in the thought that light and warmth will soon be filling more and more of each new day.

But winter darkness has a positive side to it. As we gather to celebrate the first turn from winter to spring, we are invited to recognize and honor the beauty in the often unwanted season of winter. Let us invite our hearts to be glad for the courage winter proclaims. Let us be grateful for the wisdom winter brings in teaching us about the need for withdrawal as an essential part of renewal. Let us also encourage our spirits as Earth prepares to come forth from this time of withdrawal into a season filled with light.

The winter solstice celebrates the return of hope to our land as our planet experiences the first slow turn towards greater daylight. Soon we will welcome the return of the sun and the coming of springtime. As we do, let us remember and embrace the positive enriching aspects of winter’s darkness.

Pause now to sit in silence in the darkness of this space. Let this space be a safe enclosure of creative gestation for you.

Night Blessing
May December wrap you in
its silvered nights and crisp starlight.
May the glittering Moon illuminate
gentle truths within your heart.
May frost on branches and candlelight
in your home remind you of the quiet magic that
surrounds every moment.
May your days hold warmth, laughter,
and tender presence.
May your heart carry gratitude, wonder,
and the soft beginnings of dreams that
grow quietly, like snowflakes
on still winter air.

This week we focussed on the art of intentionally slowing down. This is the time of the year to go inward, reflect, rest, get cosy and nurture the body, mind and soul. We connected with our heartbeat and breathing to observe what the body feels like when stressed and overwhelmed with never ending to-do lists. We enjoyed the doterra Adaptiv calming essential oil blend, together with mindful pranayama to use the breath to calm the mind. Once the mind slows down, the body follows - the heart rate slows down, the breathing calms down and the adrenals get a break. The asana practice engaged the full lung capacity by stretching the intercostals, engaging the diaphragm, relaxing the jaw and neck and opening the shoulders. We embraced intentionally slow yin yoga poses…. Nourishing, softening, opening, surrendering. When we slow down intentionally, we switch from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system of rest and digest. And THIS is where true healing happens. All starting with the breath…..🫁💜🪷
