Oh, my heart.
Oh, my sweet tender heart.
Though grief swirls through my veins, so too does infinite gratitude + wild love. ❤️🩹
There are so many, many words I could write (+ shall, in time) but the heart that beats within my chest is holding those words close for now.
Tears are filling my eyes as I write this caption.
For two years I have journeyed to Cornwall with the purpose of studying Shamanism.
Little did I know that I would find my soul family there.
Beginning, with only a thread of a dream + a wish to be held, the wisdom of Shamanism whistled through the wind + invited me on a life changing journey.
What I later discovered during my training, was that this path had quietly called during a visit to Vancouver, Canada in 2006 when I was 13. To help me unravel the memory, Spirit had connected me with a guide who had also travelled those lands a few years after me (in fact, we both have a photo standing basically in the same spot).
The lands of Cornwall have held my grief + my joy for over two years. 8 weekends, hours of journeying, dancing, laughing, playing with my inner child, shedding stories, creating new stories, gathering, crafting, being, crying, releasing, holding, drumming, singing + eating lots of yummy foods.
This has been + always shall be, the most heart-opening experience of my journey thus far.
To be seen, truly seen, in all emotions, all weathers, teary-eyed + in my true essence has been profound. But to also have witnessed each + every soul who gathered together to form The Spirit Birds has been a privilege.
I will treasure every moment.
To my Spirit Bird family, including,
of course [email protected], + all the kitty kats, I love you.
Until we meet again, journey well, fly free + forever wild. 🌀🦅
