What a ride.
This Summer has been intense. We've all been feeling and experiencing shifts in at least one major part of our lives: relationships, career, vocation, family, health or purpose.
There's a reason for this. We need to embrace change. There is no way around it. When the big life lessons come calling, they don't do so gently.
Why? Because we are not moved into action by a gentle touch. We are spurred to action by force. That's the unfortunate truth about us.
But, there's hope. It doesn't always have to be this way. It doesn't always have to feel like we're being body-slammed by our soul.
We can learn to see the patterns, read the signs, and decode the symbols by refining our awareness and honing our intuition.
This year has been an important year for my personal growth. It was the year of a dark night of the soul. And a re-emergence into a lighter, clearer and far more empowered version of myself.
Though I didn't know if I'd get out of it, I learned just how resilient, resourceful and supported I am. I learned to ground. I learned to ask for help. I learned to pace myself. I learned what faith really means.
Now, I've got one eye reviewing the past few months, and one eye surveying the landscape of the upcoming season. Back to school, back to business, back to work.
Back to work.
But this work is not of the mundane type. This is soul work. The work of meaning. The work of service to a higher purpose. The work of changing lives. You can feel it, too.
As we near the new Moon in Virgo on September 9th, we see the light at the end of the worm-hole tunnel of the Summer. Astrologically we've been taken through a cosmic power washing.
What will we do with our clean slate? How will we show up? What is our motivation? What is our plan? What are our goals as 2018 begins to turn toward the home stretch?
And who wants to come to Bali in November?!

I'm leading a retreat for women in Bali with Dr. Ari Beers. This is not your usual yoga retreat. It's a detoxifying, purifying, cleansing and regenerative retreat completely focused on resetting from the inside out, and from all aspects - body, emotion, mind, and spirit, through the heart and intimate connection to sisterhood.

Once a month, around the new moon, I host a goddess circle - moon circle - women's circle. It's a time to connect with other women, set intentions, clear limitation, and get to know ourselves on a deeper level. When we are seen and heard, witnessed and held, alchemy happens.

Sending love and blessings, and more frequent newsletters.
May we all be called to do the work that most speaks to our souls.
