Sex and the Menopause
A woman in her menopausal years is at her highest sexual potential. Yes, you read that right. Contrary to the script of a patriarchal mainstream culture, when a woman reaches menopause, a gateway opens to an entirely new sexual landscape. Our immersion in a culture that recognises female beauty only in the guise of the […]
Your relationship can change the world
Healthy relationships impact our community and our lives in a positive way, far beyond the relationship itself. They are a rocket fuel to awakening that draw in all those around them to their potent heart-field. When we heal our relationship, we overlay a new, healed imprint over an old wound that goes back through […]
The medicine within conflict
To find the trail back to love, we turn inside to look within our own hearts and listen to the deeper longings. To find the longing we need to be willing to really feel it and then allow it expression. Even if it is never met, the expressing of a longing opens our hearts again. It’s an invitation to open out into the field of love that’s bigger than either one of you, a call to remember why it is you are still choosing each other.
The gift of shame and guilt
A post for white people on racism, white privilege and unconscious bias When someone calls us out on our unconscious bias around issues of race, and we get defensive, what we are really saying is “white feelings matter more than the lives of people with colour”. This is the paradigm of millennia – that people of […]
Earth Day
There’s a stillness, a quietness, a quality of energy that’s in the field. There’s a difference in how the elements around us are expressing themselves.
It’s as if the volume has been turned up on nature and turned down on the business of humanity.
Communication breakdown
Good communication is essential for the garden of any relationship to truly bloom. And it is where SO many couples get stuck. When we’re stuck here, everything our partner says seems to trigger us. We feel misunderstood, blamed, unheard, made wrong and so on. We try over and over again to express ourselves and they […]
We are at a Threshold
We are being invited into the Great Turning What is this ‘must keep busy’?What is this ‘what can I find to distract myself’?What is this ‘waiting to go back to normal’?What is this loneliness? Humanity is at a Threshold and we are being invited into a personal and collective Rite of passage. An Initiation into […]
When relationships falter..
Most of us were never taught the sacred art of relationship and intimacy. Instead we are thrown into a fast-flowing current of romantic relationships at puberty, a time when our identities are still fluid, and we’re exploring not only who we are, but the nature of the world around us. Our dominant Western culture doesn’t […]
Daughters of Earth
The creation myths of our own lands, the ones that still are told in Scotland of the Cailleach for example, are signposts to our indigenous knowing, where women were the holders of such power that they literally created mountains, lakes and whirlpools. They were not meekly waiting in the sidelines for a hero to rescue […]
Sacred disruption
As the news features Extinction Rebellion, Climate Strike and more, I see a rising tide of longing to actively resist the damage wrought by our society. Yet sometimes just ‘surviving’ feels like all we can do. The truth is that we live in a culture that values productivity over quality of life, that teaches disconnection […]
