Every year, I honour the Spring Equinox through ceremony.

A time to pause, awaken, plant new intentions and welcome the energy of new beginnings. Spring reminds us that nothing stays the same. There is a natural cycle of releasing, resting, growing and beginning again.

Usually, I’m the one holding space for others through these transitions, but this year, something felt different.

This Spring Equinox, I decided it was time to hold space for myself.

To honour the new chapters unfolding in my life, my start to menopause and to settle into our new home.

It was time to allow myself to slow down and actually enjoy this new season of life and to embrace my own rebirth.

There has been something really beautiful about turning some of that love, energy and intention back towards myself.

I absolutely love holding space for others, witnessing their transformations and creating spaces where women can reconnect with themselves.

But I’m learning that I deserve to receive that same care too.

So this Equinox, I’m not rushing into the next thing.

I’m enjoying where I am. My new chapter, new home and my own becoming.

Here’s to new beginnings, new roots and whatever is ready to bloom.

Urban Shamanism.

What if following a Shamamic path has less to do with travelling to a remote village in the jungle, taking plant medicine or completing an online course, and more to do with travelling deeply within? What if it's an actual way of life, connection to ourselves, our community and the earth.

We are living in a time where ancient spiritual practices are being rediscovered in modern cities.

What has emerged is often called urban or neo shamanism. Contemporary people adapting shamanic inspired practices to everyday life, using meditation, dance, breathwork, rhythm, ritual, imagery and altered states of consciousness as pathways into deeper awareness.

When consciousness shifts, we may experience travelling between worlds, connecting with ancestors, guides, symbols, spirit allies or deeper layers of the psyche.

How do I learn, to listen deeply enough to the answers that are already within?

To follow a Shamanic path you dont need to be a Shaman!

You might live in an apartment in the city. You might have children, a mortgage, a career, bills and a busy calendar. You might sit in traffic in the morning and drum beneath the moon at night.

This is is where I believe shamanism begins. Learning how to become deeply present, to listen, to journey inward, to sit with what arises, and to take responsibility for our own healing and for the earth.

This path isn't necessarily about becoming someone else, pretending to be an Indigenous medicine person or with collecting ceremonies from cultures we haven't been initiated into.

It's about remembering who you already are within.

A few weeks ago, I was feeling very disconnect and I was ready to walk away from "spirituality".

Not because I stopped believing in the medicine, the connection, or the unseen. But because I started to feel like something had been lost.

It began to feel inauthentic.

Everywhere I looked, there were healers, teachers, and guides presenting a perfect version of themselves. The carefully curated images, the fancy marketing, the need to look the part. I grew tired of seeing vulnerability turned into a story to sell, and people’s pain becoming a doorway to gain trust, followers, or clients.

It left me questioning, is this really what spirituality has become? Then I remembered.

Spirituality is not the performance. It is not in the clothes we wear, its is not the titles. And it is not the image we create for others.

No costume can make someone connected. No ceremony, drum, or sacred words can replace the inner work.

The path is personal.

It is the quiet moments when nobody is watching. It is the courage to look within, to face our shadows, to acknowledge where we still have work to do, and to continue learning and evolving.

Before we hold space for others, we must be willing to hold space for ourselves.

Before we guide others through their healing, we must be willing to walk through our own.

The medicine is not in how spiritual we appear. Its in our integrity, humility, our willingness to keep growing and to say no when we need to.

So no fancy poncho wearing here.

Just a human being walking a path. Questioning. Learning. Falling. Healing. Evolving.

Because true spirituality does not need a costume.
