A word I wish to return to you…
Eros.

Not the way our culture uses it… the flush of new attraction, the performance of desirability… but something far older, and far more your own than we’ve been told.

In my own understanding, Eros is the river that was always running underneath everything… the untameable creative life force that moves through women when we’re fully inhabiting our own skin, present to what is actually here, responsive to what our body knows before our mind has assembled its explanation.

This ungrabbable mystic force isn’t lost to us… but we may be simply blocking it.

Through the abandoning of parts of ourselves that felt like too much, or not enough… shadow parts lost in the dark. Moreover, we move against our cycles rather than with them, not staying with what is difficult and tender.

The inner marriage is the clearing of that blockage… and it’s the work of this season,
whether in partnership or not.

Committed relationship isn’t for the faint-hearted… whether that’s with a partner or with the forgotten parts of yourself.

It is the unglamorous practice of collecting what went into the shadow and saying… I see you… I am staying… I am not leaving you behind again… and our partnerships are the direct mirror of this.

When you stop abandoning yourself, the channel opens, and Eros moves through more fully… in the body… in what you create… in how you love.

Here you see my beloved Roland. We are entering our nineteenth year together… what I know now, that I didn’t know then, is that this isn’t something I found, but something I became available for, because I did the clearing work… and because he chose to do his own.

That is what commitment actually is… not romantic dazzle… but two people choosing, again and again, to keep clearing the channel in themselves… and rekindling the connection with one another.

Staying is the hardest and most beautiful thing I have ever chosen.

I am a woman who knows that the love I have outside me is only as real as the love I have learned to practice within.

My 1-on-1 work is where we do this together. Send me a message.

In beauty,
Wen-Wei

“As we create, this wild and mysterious being is creating us in return, filling us with love.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

There is something most women have never been told… that the heat we carry in our body is not about desire for another…
but It’s our own intense sensory awareness… ALIVE and waiting…

It is our WILDISH NATURE, our CREATIVE LIFE FORCE…
and the very thing that makes you… you

Again - we were taught and conditioned to believe our power lies in our beauty. Phe!

Dear Woman… your beauty is the natural consequence of it… your inner power

It is what pours out of a woman when she is truly, fully, unapologetically and naturally alive inside herself….

This Sunday evening I’m holding an intimate Beltane MoonLodge in a private yurt in Amsterdam West.. with the wild surrounding us and flowers in our hands.

Be welcome

We live with a Great Mystery… and that Mystery can be scary. However, that same Mystery can also be magical.

There are dates you choose and dates that choose you… Synchronicity, Jung called it.

The 1st of April was set by someone else entirely. However, let me tell you something…This was a Libra full moon in Aries season.

… And the magic of it is this…
I’m a Libra sun with an Aries moon.
That is Mystery meeting synchronicity.

So what’s this all about? Libra’s the sign of Right Relationship. However, Right Relationship doesn’t begin out there, with others, with the world, with the people you love or struggle with.
No,no…It begins here.
With you.
With Who You Truly Are before the roles, the conditioning, the expectations…

When you are in Right Relationship with yourself, you have beautiful relationships with the people around you, with the world around you, and most of all - you begin creating the life you truly wish to lead.

So the question is: who are you?
…Know yourself….

This is the journey, isn’t it?
Because in order to create in life… the real question is always
… where are you creating from? Are you creating from a false identity, from a role, from what others expect of you? Or are you creating from your true Self, with a capital S?

If something in you is still turning this over, there is one more evening….

There is a knowing in you that doesn’t need to be figured out. ..

It needs to be moved.

Most of us have spent years outsourcing the authority on ourselves.
To the experts, partners, to systems that were never built around our bodies or our knowing…

This is three hours of something different.

Roland has brought me flowers since we first met, eighteen years ago. Always.

It’s one of the ways I’m reminded that receiving is also part of my work.

This Thursday those same flowers will be on the altar at MoonLodge…. a reminder that what we tend in ourselves is what you bring into spaces we hold..

There are a few spots left for this Thursday, the eve of the Spring Equinox.
Feel welcome, dear.

There is a particular cruelty in understanding something completely, and still finding yourself doing it anyway.

You’ve read the books, have done the work, you can also name the pattern, trace it back, and explain it to someone else with clarity and compassion.

And then Tuesday comes ‘round, and you say yes again…

This isn’t a failure of willpower or insight my dear…It is simply how nervous systems work, because our body doesn’t change simply because the mind understands something.

Wish it were that easy..!

It changes through experience, slowly, with repetition, and most importantly, in safety (i.e. with tenderness to yourself).

Therefore, the smallest possible deviation from the pattern is still a deviation, for instance, a pause before answering, or a little less of that perfection, and maybe, not hiding what it costs you.

These are not massive, dramatic acts… But… for your body … they are everything.

There is a contract most women are honouring right now.

They never signed it.

This was written for them, way before they were old enough to question it.

And it follows something like this:
Be the capable one. Be the reliable one. Need less than everyone else. … and whatever you do, do not ask for help.

And so she picks it up… every single time, because she sees it and nobody else does.

Because if she doesn’t, who will? Is what she thinks to herself.

And when she’s exhausted, wel… she feels guilt.
Why? Because she “should” be able todo the.. She always has.

This isn’t a character flaw or anything. No. # was an adaptation. Because a long time ago your nervous system learned that love and belonging felt safer when you were useful, capable, and needing less.

Again, nothing’s wrong with you.

But

This contract is costing you your body, your life, and your Self.

You don’t have to earn your right to rest … to need or be held dear

From the middle of it, Wen-Wei

03/03/2026

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from doing too much, but from never once questioning why you are the one doing it…

The world has always rewarded women like you. Capable. Reliable. The one who sees what needs doing and does it without being asked, without complaining, nor without letting anyone see the cost.

And the reward felt real … and it still does at times..

However, somewhere underneath all of that competence and capability, there’s a woman who has been running on a contract she’s never agreed to, and has been too busy honouring it to notice…

Self-reliance is not the same as self-agency.

One is doing it alone, and the other is choosing from your own centre.

The first step out of the trap, my dear, is simply this: seeing it.



✦ Part 1 of 3. Save this for when you need it.

I want to share something I wrote yesterday, because I think many of you will recognise this.

Nobody tells you that coming back to yourself looks a lot like falling apart first.

Yep..
The laundry that’s been sitting there for three days… the tears you didn’t see coming… the friend you love but couldn’t call back… the meal you didn’t make, so you just didn’t eat… the moment you couldn’t hold it all together the way you used to, and you’re left with the feeling of embarrassment, or even shame, and then the confusion of not knowing what any of it means yet, just this fog you’re standing in, and no map for it.

And this is what integration actually looks like… not anything perfect, nor composed, but real, because the body’s finally releasing what it carried for far too long, finally feeling the grief, finally accessing the pain, the confusion of it all, and yes, even the numbing and the withdrawing. …Because that’s part of it too, that’s the body’s way of surviving what was too much to feel all at once.

Therefore, it’s not that you’re falling apart. It’s that falling apart is part of coming back together.

So if your life looks a little messy right now, if the edges are soft and the ground feels uncertain, and you don’t quite recognise the woman standing in front of the mirror, then maybe, just maybe, you are not lost. Maybe you are exactly where you need to be, in between one version of yourself and the next, in the place that has no name yet, because you haven’t arrived there yet.

This is the butterfly’s chrysalis. And inside the chrysalis, before anything new can form, everything first has to dissolve. And not just a little. Completely. The caterpillar does not gently transform, it becomes liquid, nothing recognisable, and only then does something new begin to take shape.

So can you let it be messy? Can you let it be unfinished, and uncertain, and not yet anything you can explain to anyone, including yourself?

Bless the mess. It means you are in the middle of becoming.

And if you find yourself in this space and you want to go a little deeper, to feel a little more held, I write a private letter every Sunday, a quiet piece of wisdom that arrives in your inbox like a cup of tea on a slow morning.

This one came from the heart today

24/02/2026

I grew up in the 80s and you rest when you die was not a joke, it was a value system. Tiredness was weakness and pushing through was strength, and the less you needed the more impressive you were.

My mother said it too, simply as truth, because that was the air she had been given to breathe.

I became very good at not resting and I was proud of how much I could carry and how little I required. When older women told me to take care of myself- well I genuinely didn’t understand what they meant. I thought I was fine and I thought I was strong.

Recently I recognised something familiar in a younger woman and what struck me was the speed and the brightness and the constant outward movement, and suddenly I felt tired just watching her, because I remember the cost of living like that for too long.

The body keeps its own record and it doesn’t care about pride or productivity or how capable you appear, and one day it simply stops negotiating.

What looks like fatigue can be intelligence.., and what looks like slowing down can be a refusal to abandon yourself again.

Some lessons arrive quietly and some arrive through the body. Either way, they arrive.

If this is speaking to you and you’re finding yourself in that phase where the body’s no longer negotiating, we’ll be working with this at the next MoonLodge on 19 March. The event is linked above.

At the threshold with you dear
