Ode to November...

November...
where did you go?

there seemed to be so much going on
I missed you completely
and yet I did not feel rushed, pushed or pulled...
 

the work was on the inside.

A month of letting go
allowing
accepting
moving on
and when I did so
I was met with clarity
fortitiude
honour
strength...

Gathering happened
community
sisterhood ...for that
I feel ever blessed
 

 

 

and this guy came home...
just for a short couple weeks
until he leaves again
for an adventure on the other side of the world!
So happy to have all my men
under one roof.

I am complete!

How was it for you lovelies?

Love and Light

ReWilding Retreats

Once upon a time, 

there were three very different little girls... 

 who grew up to be three very different women. 

But they have three things in common: 

They're brilliant, 

They're beautiful and 

They worked for me. 

My name is Spirit.

And so it was
Feb. of 2014
these three women would come together
for the first time

bringing in the spring
with sacred circle

 

It would be months later

when one would get a tapping
a call

to bring the three together

to collaborate and birth

a space where women

would come together

and rebirth them selves.

So after months of planning,

coming together,

and bearing heart and soul to one another

ReWilding Retreats

has been brought to full life.

This is an offering of our hearts to yours...

from

The Bear

The Elk

The Owl

an offering blessed and over seen by Deer

 Our launch retreat will be 
Friday, April 24-2015 to Monday April 27th-2015
to be held at Mt. Hood, Oregon, USA

"A Soul or Spirit Doula is not the Doula of physical babies but of spiritual re-birth, dream seeds, and artistic/heart creations. 
It has been proven that when a birthing mother has another woman in the birthing space with her, it helps to put the woman at ease and bring her into alignment with her power and confidence; 
this enables her to move through the process in a strong way. 
So it is with spiritual rebirths and creative awakenings amongst women. We are of the mind that having a female support group during any great awakening, re-birthing, or creative unfolding, 
is helpful and healing  while igniting the woman's own strength 
enabling her to bring forth the offerings 
and truths of her own heart." 
~ReWilding Retreats

Collaboration is an unfolding and re-birthing

within itself

and as we move closer to our first retreat, of many

we each continue to rebirth into ourselves

as we learn and grow together

different and yet the same

alone and yet together. 

I have been blessed to be

a part of this call.

It was not something I expected

but I have come to know

that it is those things

that we do not expect

that enrich us the most

for we are able to allow

the flow

just that much more

so what It is can be just that

what It is.

We hope for a long
 and fruitful path of offering

for our selves

and those who join us...

Might that be you?

Come by and have a visit

The Place of Re-Birth 

“Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void.” ― Simone Weil

Allow us to hold the void....for you

Ode to October...

You are my favorite time of year

it is not hard to love you at all.

This is my season

when life begins to fade

and with it comes the amazing beauty of change

and change did come

as it does...

starting with the official ending of a season 

we have been gathering for 3 years

and now the time had come to bring our circle and contract

to a close

bitter sweet

as it is with those things that we love

but as this is the season of death

so it is that all things have their own end

and so it is...

And as one door closed another door opened

as a new dream was birthed...

with two amazing lovelies

I call sisters and friends

ReWilding Retreats went live

and the response was tremendous...

more on this little nugget in a post to come.

And then there is the time of Thanksgiving

which found me on a bus north bound to meet my love and my son...

Oh the lavish land that I live in

 magnificent wild mountain rages

plummeting into deep ancient rivers

and then comes the interior dessert

dry and cool

refreshing for the lungs to breath

and for the eyes to beyold
 

This month brought a re-awakening

of priorities and what really mattered

It brought truth 

Some truths are hard to take

and some the minute you hear them

you know them to be true

but even in the hard ones

there is something to be learned

something to grow from

something to live for

I held my last Shaenalach Retreat for the year

and the first one under the new name...

and it was splendid

a huge blessing!

I love the work I do

I am so blessed by the women who join me

they show such courage and willingness

such grace and compassion

it is an inspiration to me

to keep on this healing path for myself

and to keep providing this space for others
to do the same.

 And in the end

there was laughter

courtesy of 

a child that brings such joy to my life.

October

you were so full

everyday something new

something painful

something beautiful

thank you

thank you

thank you

How was October for you my lovelies?

Love and Light

Sisters of Light...a cutting of the strings

It was September 2011 when these lovelies came together for retreat

the first time...

and this space was founded

(more about that found here )

Sisters of Light 2014

 After that first coming together we gathered

every two weeks

for two years

forging a bond like none of us had ever experienced before.

But it was not to last.

 

During our annual retreat last year

there was a shift made

as one sister felt herself pulled in another direction...

in turn

the decision was made to no longer meet as we once had.

 

Instead 

we met now and again as individuals

and had brunch as a group

a few times throughout the year...

 

A month ago

we came together to retreat

once more

 

I was not prepared for the shift

not prepared for the distance I felt

with some of the sisters.

Looking back I can see it was my own naivety

and my own

"seeing the world through rose coloured glasses".

 

enjoying the forest

I had expected it would be

as it once was

but instead

things had shifted and changed.

having a little fun

Within those expectations

I had set myself up...

lesson learned.

 

Just like the seasons change

Just as the earth evolves

Even I ebb and flow with in my life...

 

even the trees bow in our presence ; )

...so do sisterhoods 

Nothing remains the same.

This was a challenge for me to face

 

one I needed to face none the less...

When we ceased to gather last year

we never closed or released 

the contract we had made with one another

and this retreat was to do just that

clearly

the time had come.

The contract had been honoured

and it was time for each of us to be released

from its sacred word...
allowing eahc of us
to move deeper into our Light.

 

 and so it was

 With our contract fulfilled

that which bound us was disolved...

We marked this with a ritual...

each of us cutting a string we had tied together at the beginning of the weekend 

our fearless guides

another powerful moment shared

 

Sisters of Light

Letting go is not always easy

And for a sensitive heart like mine

it takes me a while to process.

But

what I know to be true

is that in the letting go

I allow

I allow something else to come

perhaps something that will encourage me

on the road I am on

perhaps something that  assist me

in where it is I am going...

 

our mystery spirit dog

Whatever comes

I am grateful for what was

What I learned and how I grew with these women

was more than I could have ever imagined on my own

They helped shape and mold me

to who I am at this moment.

We will always be The Sisters of Light

as we have traveled many lives together.

We are now something different

from what we once were in this life.

This is not the end

but a new beginning...

What dear thing to your heart have you had to let go of recently lovely?

Love and Light
