This evening, I will be at the Valley East Library for our free Wednesday meditation.

No registration. No experience needed. Just come as you are.

We will sit together, breathe, and use some simple tools to help the mind settle. It is one of my favourite evenings of the week.

Wednesday evenings run through to the end of June — so this is a standing invitation.

Whenever life feels full and you need a place to land, the door is open.

If you have been curious about the Stillness & Shine series — tomorrow night is also a beautiful chance to experience the work before Thursday. Come and see how it feels.

See you there.

Tonight at the Valley East Library.

If you have been meaning to come — this is your evening.

Guided meditation. Simple tools. A calm room where you do not have to explain yourself or have it all figured out.

People have been coming to evenings like this one for years. Through hard seasons. Through busy ones. Through the ones where they just needed somewhere to land.
Tonight is one of those evenings.

No registration needed. Free. All are welcome.

Valley East Library • 4100 Elmview Drive, Hanmer • 6:30 PM

If you have been meaning to come, this is your evening.

For years, people came to the Valley East Library on Wednesday evenings not because life was easy — but because it wasn't.

They came through grief. Through the weight of raising families while working full time. Through anxiety that made it hard to express what they were feeling.

And they kept coming back.

Tomorrow evening that room is open again.

Free guided meditation. Simple tools. A place to land in the middle of the week.
No experience needed. Come exactly as you are.

Valley East Library • 4100 Elmview Drive, Hanmer • 6:30 PM • Free

And this weekend, I will be at the Gateway Casino Outdoor Show, May 23 & 24. Come and find me there, too.

Two ways to find me in person this week. I would love to see you at either one.

Your body has been waiting for your attention. Not your fixing. Not your effort. Just your gentle awareness.

Save this body scan from beside a white pine at Onaping Falls.

Close your eyes. Notice. Breathe. That is all.

If this speaks to you, come find me on Wednesday evenings. Valley East Library in Hanmer. 6:30 PM. Free. No experience needed. Just come as you are.

Something I want you to try right now — before you keep scrolling.

Think of one thing you have done well recently. Not perfectly. Just genuinely.
Now be present to your experience.

What do you notice? Is there more space? More ease? A sense of possibility that wasn’t there a moment ago?

This is not positive thinking. It is your nervous system being allowed to rest.

And here is what I have noticed: the more you play with praise, the more you see you have a choice in every moment. Not just a choice about what you do — but a choice about where you put your attention. Whether to be hard on yourself or to offer praise instead.

What do you want to focus on? What action, if any, do you want to take?

Praise brings you back to a new moment. Full of possibility.

What do you want to focus on? What action, if any, do you want to take.ke.ke.
That quiet shift is exactly what six weeks together can build.

Most women do not come to this work because they want to “be spiritual” or become a different person.

They come because they are tired.

Over the years, I have noticed that many professional women are carrying far more than anyone realizes. Their minds rarely stop. Their nervous systems are always on. And somewhere underneath all of that, they miss themselves.

This carousel gives you a real look at what we move through in the 6-week Stillness & Shine series — week by week.

Week 1 — learning how to arrive and settle
Week 2 — understanding the mind with more compassion
Week 3 — working gently with the body and nervous system
Week 4 — bringing stillness into real life
Week 5 — noticing what changes when you stop forcing everything
Week 6 — creating a practice that supports you beyond the course

There is one slide in particular that feels important to me.

“You were never behind. You were returning.”

I think many women need to hear that.

By the end of six weeks, women often tell me they sleep better, react less quickly, feel calmer in conversations, and experience more space inside their minds. But more than anything, they feel more connected to themselves again.

Swipe through the carousel and see if one of the reflection questions speaks to you.

Stillness & Shine begins May 28 at 7pm at the Devarati Wellness Studio in Sudbury.
Six Thursdays. Ten women maximum. $297.

Just came back from a beautiful walk… sunshine, blue skies, a lovely dog, and an unexpected conversation with a woman I met along the way. We connected instantly — yoga, retreats, awareness, possibility. One of those simple moments that reminds me how much beauty exists when we actually slow down enough to notice it.

And then I came home to this.

My little garden quietly continuing to show up.

The purple flowers are back again… and the tulips are almost ready to open.

Every spring I’m reminded that nature does not force its timing. Nothing is rushing. Nothing is trying to prove itself. And yet… everything knows exactly when to bloom.

There is something deeply comforting about that.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how often we believe we need to push harder, figure everything out, or have all the answers before we can fully show up in life.

But maybe sometimes growth looks more like this: a walk, a conversation, a little sunlight, flowers slowly opening, and remembering that life is already moving.

Quietly. Naturally. Beautifully.

Stillness first. Then life. 🌷💜

When I first learned to meditate, I thought I was doing it wrong.

My mind was loud. Thoughts kept coming. I felt restless instead of calm.

Nobody told me that was completely normal. Nobody told me the practice was not about stopping the thoughts. It was about changing my relationship with them.
That one shift — from fighting the mind to allowing it — changed everything for me. Not overnight. Over time. Gently.

I have been teaching this for 25 years now. And the thing I hear most often in the first weeks of practice is:

“I thought I was doing it wrong.”

You are not doing it wrong. You are just beginning.

And you do not have to wait until May 28 to feel the difference. Check the recent reels on the Devarati Stillness page — I shared a one-minute tool a few days ago that you can use anywhere, any time. Or send me a message and I will share it with you personally.

This morning I heard something that landed quietly and stayed.

*Gratitude shifts your mindset. When you focus on what you have, your mind moves from lack to abundance. Gratitude brings peace, clarity, and a more positive outlook on life. The more you appreciate, the more you attract to appreciate.*

I teach gratitude — and I have experienced this to be true in my own life.

The more grateful I am, the less I resist my world.
And the less I resist — the more I receive.
In relationships. In business. In what I can only call miracles.

A few weeks ago I stepped outside and saw my crocuses.

After a long northern winter, there they were — yellow and white, pushing up through the old leaves and frozen ground. No effort. No straining. Just life, returning exactly when it was ready.

That is what gratitude feels like to me. A quiet opening. Something softening. Life coming back in.

**Share something you are grateful for in the comments.**

One word. One sentence. Whatever is true right now.

Let's add it to the list together. 💛
