The Autumn Equinox Ritual I Love

There’s been a lot of expansion this year for me - both professionally and personally. As a result, I learned that there’s a fine line between inspired action and overwhelm.

Whenever I notice myself walking that line, I’m reminded to come back to my grounding practices. Fall is the perfect time to do just that.

Be Your Own Best Lover

This word... Lover.

What does this stir in you?

For most of my life, this word was attached to a very specific storyline…

A gorgeous man whisking me away to ravish me, adore me and thinks that I’m the most beautiful thing in the world.

Shadow Hunting : Winter Solstice

2019 has been a dive into the dark. I honour this winter solstice, not for the return of the light, for wisdom of the unseen.

Relationship Ritual A Cleansing + Blessing

A few weeks ago, my beloved and I sat before the fire and created a “Despacho” inspired ritual by creating 2 bundles. The first is what we are letting go of, the second is what we are calling in.

Lessons in Love with Grandmama

“Mama, I am so lucky to have you as my grandmother.”

“Really?” She asks, as her eyebrows lift and eyes brighten.

“Of course!” I say, “I am sooo lucky to be your granddaughter.”

She pauses, and with a voice that I have heard weaken over the days and takes effort to get out, she says, “Tell me… why are you lucky?”

What Happens When We Die?

I thought that being here in this transition with my grandmother in her final stages of life would prompt contemplations about quintessential human questions. I thought I would be in deep reflection about life and death, hypothesize about theories I’ve read, DMT experiences that I’ve had, and my own near-death experience. In actuality, I haven’t thought so much about these questions.

Empath Doesn’t Mean Taking On Shit

Being an empath doesn’t mean you take on other people’s shit.

I hear often about how empaths take on the feelings of others. That’s a tendency, not a requirement. To be empathic is to have the capacity to understand and feel what another person is experiencing, a beautiful quality… and, it doesn’t mean you have to take on someone else’s pain.
