This year I seeded a new project called .earth with amazing collaborators , & who answered the call to build collective gatherings for heart-leaders and space-holders with

I’ve been a pillar in the community for nearly 2 decades, and felt it was time to nourish the ones nourishing others.

A common thread that many of Mothertrees feel is a sense of fragmentation, volatility, isolation, burn-out, low esteem and competition based on old paradigms of comparison and hyper-independence.

There is a part in every woman, that feels insecure about reaching out for help.

Reaching for a sister’s hand and leaning in is the most extraordinary medicine I’ve ever received and witnessed.

I undoubtedly know the power of the feminine lies in our ability to share and rejoice in all our unique gifts.

A special connection is made when sisters and strangers sit in ceremony and let their rawness and vulnerability heal old wounds and divisions.

But even in the most nourishing spaces, it can be hard to receive, and be upfront and honest. Even through the discomfort we must keep showing up…

Nurturing community is an act of resilience against the false narrative that success is an individual achievement.

I want my success to feel like a new ecology where we regather with friends and flowers to laugh and rise together.

If you’re a facilitator, creative, space-holder, entrepreneur, mama, or wonder woman, you’re invited to be a SISTER IN COUNCIL on November 11 .ralia

A soirée of aligned activism, where we divine new ways of exchange.

What can emerge when women toast to their inner brilliance, and also courageously hold space for when we don’t always feel brilliant or recognize it in others?

Thanks for capturing our brilliance .leveille 📷

Libra season is often referred to as the season of balance, but it’s really all about beauty!

Beauty is the byproduct of love; the universe is ruled by Eros, a primordial force born from chaos, and desiring connection.

Tuesday, Oct. 21st at 8:25 am EDT is the Libra New Moon! With the Sun, Moon, & Venus - Libra’s Ruler - all in the sign of Libra, exalted by stationing Pluto in Aquarius, it’s going to be a potent week of soulful relational transformations, breakups, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.

It’s about to get even more real, so I recommend getting dressed up for the occasion and having a dance party.

We’re entering the reality-check phase of the year, and what matters most will be coming up front and centre.

This isn’t an alarm to spook you, but rather an invitation to let your velvety heart melt and drip with passion and connection.

Guided by love isn’t a cliche; it’s our destiny. 🔮

Two Rituals For the New Moon

Stepping out of the shadows…

Tonight’s Super Full Moon in 14º of Aries is exact at 11:48 pm EDT. Known as the harvest moon, this bright, revelatory energy is turning up the heat and increasing our hypersensitivity.

It’s a good time to check in and ask what’s ready to be released, healed, harmonized, and actualized.

You are being guided by the stars and the moon to commit to what you love as a means to fulfill your personal destiny.

The shadow play of fear is really desire for greater wholeness; let what scares you become the star that guides you.

Astrologically, October will be emotionally and energetically intense.

It will require potent anti-inflammatory support and heartfelt alliances.

You will need to double down on your soulful nutrients and cut out the crap that feels inauthentic, toxic, harmful, violent, and wasteful.

I’ve chosen to come to Montreal during my favourite Libra/Scorpio shake-down season, when matters of the heart are heightened and the need for relational community support is essential.

I have crafted a series of workshops & rituals this month that will focus on the inner alchemy of the body to create an empowered immunity against the prevailing authoritarian and extreme pressures.

This year, the Equinox opens into a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo—a powerful threshold for miraculous transformation.

Eclipses are moments when timelines shift, allowing us to rewrite our patterns and enter new paradigms. This earthly Virgo eclipse calls us to release the distortions of our past and renew our commitment to healthy embodiment and grounded presence.

🍁In this Free 90 Minute Virtual Ritual, we will:
* Root into meditation, yin yoga, tai chi, & breath expansion to support immunity and release tension
* Reflect on the meaning of Shūbun, the balance of light and dark, yin and yang
* Journey with the Japanese Maple as a seasonal guide and ancient medicine tree with story and myth
* Set intentions for the solar eclipse + new moon to direct the shift, release outdated patterns, strengthen the body-mind connection, and create new rhythms that sustain wholeness
* Receive a live virtual transmission or recording

THE TAO OF YOGA ☯︎
 A sacred blend of Tai Chi, Yin + Hatha Yoga, breathwork and deep listening. We move slowly - with presence.
We ground into the earth - with ease.
We breathe in spirit - with quiet contemplation.

Thursday, August 7 at 7:00 pm .studio

Attune to the Camellia flower essence, which I lovingly crafted in Nara, Japan, near the ancient stone carving of Asahi Kannon Magaibutsu—the bodhisattva of compassion who brings light at dawn.

☀️ Asahi means “morning sun” — this Kannon is etched into the cliffside to bless each new day with mercy and peace. A guardian of the feminine heart, a reminder that stillness can radiate vast presence.

Camellia teaches us grace in stillness.
Soft strength. The resilience of beauty that blooms even in winter.

🌿 Come sip the quiet medicine of movement, meditation, and flowers.
 All levels welcome 🌺Link in Bio

PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE 💗

Today’s lunation, 3:11 PM in 2° Leo, invites bold self-expression and soulful leadership.

It’s not just about setting goals—it’s a soul-level activation to remember who you truly are and step into your creative flame 🌟 !

The moon is stirring up deep transformational motivation to let go of old power dynamics and spark the world with new, fresh, innovative energy!

TONIGHT! Vision Board Workshop at 7:00 pm!

We are going to activate Self-Sovereignty & Creativity, ground our dreams with Courage & Structure, and learn to flow with the path of least resistance by following our heart with Simplicity as Strength!

This is the time to seed the future with ART & AUTHENTICITY! May this new moon in Leo gift you the courage to speak your truth, start a project, sing, dance, write, and build from the inspirations that light you up!

It’s my Leo Moon, and last ritual in the city, so I’m gonna go full out!

I’ve designed my whole life on vision boards since I was a kid. Collages were my first love, and I’ve downloaded and channeled so much wisdom, clarity, and direction with them.

It’s not a vision board of what you want; it’s a vision board of who you are!

🦁JOIN THE CLUB! 🦁

Are you enchanted with roses? 🌹

Do you feel called to Mary Magdalene?

Are you ready to listen to your inner awakening?

Do you feel the pull to soften & open your heart?

If yes, you are a Daughter of the Rose. 🌹

Gather in celebration to delight in the mysteries of Mary Magdalene, receive the light codes of her ministry through wild rose land essences crafted from the temples of France, and open your heart through direct rose transmissions.

Circle with two priestesses, devoted to the rose, Kimiko & , who are dedicated to sharing their stories with Her through their embodied sacred study and soulful communion.

On July 22, it is Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day. A day where we step into the enchanted space of Divine love, and bring roses to the Goddess’s feet that dwell within your being.

You are part of the ancestry of the rose, and it is now time to honour the seat of your calling and dive into the Magdalene’s Embrace.

Join us this Tuesday, July 22 - 7 pm
for a Feast of Roses and Ritual.

This night will be as if you walked on pilgrimage with Her through many timelines.
