Hope & Motion

About 5 years a go I had the intuition to change all my money related digital folders to ‘Money-Love’ because money was a topic that brought me great fear. It’s been a long road of inner-change, but today I do feel more joy & love on the topic and wanted to write to ‘pay’ it…

Something that came out of the dialogue with other facilitators/therapists was this idea of ‘integration’. From my own experience, this has been a sometimes deeply uncomfortable process, but ultimately something that has given me a better sense of self. The idea is that moments of shame/pain as we grow, cause us to throw certain parts…

When I began really healing, I seemed to keep ‘diving’ into the deep ends. I would become tangled in the deep-water reeds, coming up bewildered and powerless. My facilitator said; ‘Try to participate and not go too deep…stay on the surface.’ This idea shone a light directly on a core trait I had to constantly…

At first when I started writing about this topic I tried to offer something guiding… but it didn’t work. This topic is important to me still – so instead I’m going to offer my experience: Before I had labels for what the heaviness was, it was known to me as a thick, weighted dread. It…

What a loaded topic we’re tackling for the month of February! Albeit a relevant one, with the un-avoidable Val Day looming… Ironically, this day can make one feel greater isolation and disconnection, as it creates a sense of ‘lack’ of specific kinds of relationships – namely, romantic ones. Whatever your romantic relationship status, it can…

In the new year we envision; re-imagine possibilities & call them forth… It can be a tiring concept, ‘resolutions’, as these have a joyless, punitive flavour – expectations that end in disappointment… Instead I’m inviting you to lean into inspiration – I am feeling into the depths of my heart-soul & calling on expansive energy……

What are my needs? For many this question can be confronting, it brings awareness of the empty space where there isn’t any immediate answers. Except perhaps, ‘I don’t know.’ There might not be a quick way to get in touch with needs, especially after a lifetime of dismissing them, but it is important to start…

Often times when there is an uncomfortable or nagging feeling that something isn’t ‘quite right’ with an interaction, dynamic, situation… we avoid it. And for good reason! If the stove is hot – don’t touch it. However, when it comes to emotional and relational situations, concerns are best addressed promptly. Facing the hard stuff that…

‘How does it work?’ This was the question at the start of my last year of enquiry into therapies that use dance/movement, specifically with facilitators and group-work. I chose this question because it was unclear to the people who were interested and also unclear to myself! I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to interview facilitators and…

I’m really happy to be taking the time to update the blog! I’ve been focusing on receiving more of what I aim to offer, which is an ongoing journey… It means I’m able to show up again for more of my projects and offerings, like the blog. I want to write today about being able…
