I’ve been sharing quietly for a little while here, learning to show up, finding my voice, and exploring what it means to be fully seen. Thank you to everyone who has resonated with my reflections and videos along the way—it’s meant a lot.

I’ve now started a YouTube channel where I’ll be sharing more of my healing journey, meditations, reflections, and practices for connecting with yourself and regulating your nervous system.

If this feels like something you’re drawn to, you’re very welcome to join me there. On Instagram, you can find the link in my bio. On Facebook, I’ve added the link below.

This space here will continue to be for Chifull Sanctuary and updates from the land, while my YouTube channel will be where the deeper healing reflections live.

💛 Thank you for being here, and for being part of this journey.

Beautiful paintings in the sky last night, rainbow to the east and fiery sky to the west. Nature truely is the best artist there is! These moments are precious, they remind us to stop hustling and bustling in our busy lives and enjoy the beauty of the present moment. What a gift! ✨

What a truly special day that was.

We didn’t capture many photos, just the centrepiece, but something much more important was held and witnessed in the room.

Together we explored the raw material of one of our stories from the past, the simple facts of what happened. From there we looked at the first draft, the meaning we made, the interpretations and conclusions that shaped how we saw ourselves and the world. Then, we revised. We re-wrote. We began crafting a new version, one that felt more true, more spacious, more aligned with who we are becoming.

It was a day of nourishment, honesty, creativity and deep connection. There was laughter. There were tender moments. There was courage.

It was such an honour to co facilitate alongside Rick and Jade. Rick held the container with steadiness and clarity, guiding us through each layer with care. Jade brought her warmth and insight, and the first draft of her oracle card deck, adding depth and creativity to the process. What a team to be part of.

Deep gratitude to everyone who showed up and entrusted us with their stories. It takes bravery to look closely, and even more to choose a new way forward.

I’m already looking forward to the next one 🤍✨

As we move closer to Saturday, I wanted to introduce the three of us who will be holding Recrafting Our Sacred Story.

Rick Cummings is a Hakomi therapist and teacher based in Oregon. He brings a grounded, steady presence and years of experience facilitating workshops with care and depth.

Jade Cummings is an author, poet, and artist who brings creativity, insight, and a gentle reflective presence to this work.

And I’ll be co-facilitating alongside them, drawing on my own journey with embodied awareness, Qigong, and story as a pathway for healing.

We’re offering this as a small, intimate gathering, held with respect for each person’s pace.

If you’ve been feeling curious, you’re very welcome. Link in bio.

Welcome to Chifull Sanctuary.

This is a living, regenerative sanctuary where healing the earth and healing human life are one movement.

Chifull Sanctuary is rooted in land stewardship, food growing, and sustainable living, and it also extends into embodied practice, creativity, play, and community. We see the land as a living teacher, and humans as part of the ecology, rather than separate from it.

Here, gardens, soil, bodies, nervous systems, relationships, and culture are tended together.

This is a place for:

regenerating land and growing food with care

remembering our connection with nature and each other

creative self expression, play, and joy

embodied responsibility, presence, and self leadership

gathering in ways that invite power back into each individual person rather than placing it on a pedestal

Everything offered through Chifull Sanctuary grows from this foundation, whether it is working with the land, shared meals, gatherings, creative play studio experiences or deeper embodied life practice and mentoring.

This page is the home base, a place to share the life of the land, the rhythms of sanctuary life, and invitations into community, practice, and co-creation.

If you are drawn to living in a way that honours the earth, your body, and your creative spirit, you are warmly welcome here.

This is an evolving sanctuary. You’re welcome to follow along, engage in conversation, or reach out if you feel called to connect more deeply.

With ten days to go, I wanted to gently share about this workshop again for anyone who may be feeling curious.

Recrafting Our Sacred Story is a one-day gathering to explore the stories we carry about our lives, and how they quietly shape our choices, relationships, and sense of self.

It’s a creative, reflective, and held space, with no pressure to share, perform, or have anything figured out. Everything is invitational, and listening is just as welcome as speaking.

If this feels like something that might support you at this time, you’re warmly welcome.

Back on the water, back in my happy place.
A day of sailing, remembrance, love, and letting go.
Honouring our dear friend, seven years on, sending him home to the ocean.
So grateful for this beautiful day and these beautiful humans.

Tonight I took myself on a date.
A new restaurant, ocean air, small moments of beauty, and the quiet joy of my own company.

Self love is not a concept, it is a lived relationship. Sometimes a date looks like a night out, sometimes it looks like an outdoor bath, candlelight and soft presence.

Wherever you are, may you remember you are worthy of your own time, care, and devotion 🤍

The world is changing, and with it, there’s an invitation to look more closely at the stories shaping our lives.

In this video, I share a little about why this work feels so important right now, and why we’re gathering to explore our sacred stories together.

If something in you is stirred, you’re warmly welcome.
