Some echoes of a beautiful afternoon…

It was such a perfect day today for the Waking to the Dream seasonal retreat 🫶🏻 As usual, the grounds and gallery at St. Norbert Arts Centre - SNAC were excellent co-facilitators.

Thank you to all who joined to explore the threshold of the season and lean into imaginal realm through nature, breath and somatic based practices with me today 🙏

Stay tuned for the next seasonal event, likely heading into mid fall. Ideas have been building and I’ll share a more coherent invitation soon.

If you’ve lived life at one edge of the spectrum, most of the time, even the middle of the spectrum can feel like a foreign language.

Sometimes the adjustment is building tolerance for feeling present, well, good, pleasure, joyful as much as it is finding capacity for life’s challenges.

It’s not enough to know we need to shift gears. As a practitioner, it’s my job to support high performers in experiencing different places along the spectrum of sensation, output, expression, recovery in safe and effective ways that help them recalibrate to their present day lived experiences and intentions.

More garden chats with Kat to be up soon! I was chatting away with tulsi, cham and catnip and snacking on green beans today.

Hope you’re all enjoying this break from the 🥵 temps. Happy Friday and happy August-ing!

Are you managing your depletion or cultivating your vitality?

Neither is wrong. Sometimes, we do need to structure our return to flow. Patch the cup and find ways to fill it.

And.. once it’s full.. vitality flows within and from the structures that hold us, and rigidity is not the same as stability in this case.

The flip side of this is fixating out multi-faceted plans and routines as if they are the end all be all. Depletion will task us with.. being depleted. This means there’s a time to fall apart. Holding it all together can be a dysregulation, even though it’s often touted as a method of regulation.

Nuance and context, always.
