When you put the opinions of others above what you know to be true. When you make the mistake of taking your pulse from someone else’s feelings. When you catch yourself beginning to believe what strangers say about you. When you let the energy of the external world question your…
△ IMRAMA △ Monastery (Deir) of Shelout A photo extract from my diary from my incredible trip through the sacred sites of ancient Egypt. Thank you to my guides. Like the best journeys that our soul leads us on, we hadn’t planned to come here. I am so deeply glad…
Making altars grounds me. My shamanic Mesa (essentially a portable altar not in this picture) is wrapped in the material from a baby pillow that the hospital gave my mum and dad because I came a month early and there was no mattress in the bassinet. I chose this material…
I’ve just arrived home after such a nourishing trip to upstate New York. I was there visiting my friends Eliza and Sil Reynolds and then sharpening up my shamanic skills at the Light Body School Review at Menla. A week of deep connection, learning, devoted people, delicious food, comfy beds…
If you’ve been to one of my events or are part of the Rise Sister Rise Membership you will know how influential Kirtan chanting has been in my life. After chanting for the past 10 years, last year when I graduated from my Bhakti Kirtan Teacher Training I was honoured to be…
The biggest challenges are designed to at first separate you from your faith. Let them. Do not judge yourself when you question it all. When you doubt your beliefs, your devotion, your God/dess, your entire existence. It is in these times that we are meant to. It does not matter…
I am a pilgrim. With the curves of a woman and a mystic shaped heart. My footsteps follow Her whispers of journeys unbound. Remembering my way back to treasures long ago planted. At long last ready to be found .
On Saturday December 19th, under a Venus drenched moon, a sky big enough to hold our heart’s deepest prayers while being held by the red earth of Australia I got married to my now husband Craig! Here are some of my fave pics from the day, starting in the morning and ending…
In my experience, people who erect spiritual closets tend to be the biggest believers of them all. The reason they step into a spiritual closet is not because they doubt their beliefs, rather, it’s because their beliefs are unwavering. That is, they are so scared of being judged for who they are (because their…
What started as a teeny tiny altar has turned into an entire section of my house. My office is not an office as much as it is a sacred space for my soul to express herself. Filled with everything that is conducive to allowing my heart to open and my…
I’ve always known that I had a message to share. As if it was implanted in me since birth. But I spent a lot of my life in a spiritual closet holding back the boldness of what my soul yearned to share. Recently on a trip back home to Australia my…
For some time now I have been feeling pangs deep within my heart to retreat, slow down and stop. To make a personal pilgrimage. While my spiritual practice is non-negotiable, with the launch of my book and all that goes with it I have been running on empty. Not doing…
So, you’ve probably noticed from my logo (and if you follow me on instagram you might have seen the tattoo on my left wrist) that I love me some triangle! Pretty much every week someone asks me what the triangle symbolises, so thought I’d take the hint from The Universe and do…
You’re actually already in the most important relationship of your life. You were born in it and you will die in it, how you spend it is up to you. It is both the most rewarding and most challenging relationship you will ever experience. It has the potential to make…
Every decision we make either takes us closer to or further away from ourselves. Often it’s hard to tune into the subtle energy, but deep down everything is either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no.’ A ‘feel good’ or ‘feel not as good’. An avoiding or a coming home to. At…
I’m a perpetual traveler. A searcher. Always looking for ways to grow and learn and understand. For many years I searched for that feeling of truly being at home. Through people, places and experiences. I moved countries, cities, houses. I traveled all across the planet meeting truly amazing people, visiting…
