to feel grief is to experience love... My home is quiet. Empty. I mean, all the furniture is still there. And my decorations too. But there's an element missing. A piece of the puzzle that made my house a home, that made me dive deep into the concept of belonging last year, that made me feel grounded for a while, is gone. I had to say goodbye to my cat Nala last weekend. Due to parts of her behaviour worsening, I had to choose to rehome her. This decision did not come out[...]
living a life from yoni energy - because you are worthy of it... Take a moment here to close your eyes, place your hand(s) on your lower belly / womb space, and breathe into it. How does that feel? Now, repeat to yourself: "I am worthy of pleasure". What is your physical reaction to this affirmation, and perhaps specifically to the words 'worthy' and 'pleasure'? I think in our culture, we've been taught to be afraid of pleasure, to fear our own sensuality and feminine superpowers. And th[...]
there's a hint of magic in the air... I used to love the month of January. A feeling of freshness in the air, with Christmas decorations put away and mantles freshly dusted, a new pile of books on my bedside table and an empty planner on my desk. This year? Not so much. After a rough end to 2021 mental health wise, I was so excited to start the year with new energy and a fresh outlook. I'll admit that that freshness is partially there. But as much as that comes in little sparks, t[...]
"a reader lives a thousand lives before she dies" There's one thing in life I find the most magic in, always, and that is soaking up other people's weaving with words. Language is a powerful tool and even though it cannot always properly describe the spiritual experiences and sensations we have in this life, it IS an amazing creative passage to express our (hidden) thoughts, share knowledge and inspire others with our soul's messages. I have found books one of the most accessible as well as the[...]
It fascinates me how something so arbitrary as the Gregorian calendar can still hold such energy. I much prefer living my life and aligning my decisions to the wheel of the year, with its energetics planted firmly in the seasons and ancestral traditions. The reverence for the land we live on and the awareness of the effects of her shifts and changes on our inner world resonate deeply with me, as I'm sure you'd agree. However, living in the Western world in this day and age, we cannot deny the[...]
Your Sensitivity Is Allowed To Be Felt & Expressed Hi dear one, It's been a while since I've put finger-to-keyboard (instead of pen to paper, get it!) to just type away my thoughts here. I've created this blog section of my website quite a long time ago now, but other things have received the priority. However, I now find myself in an exciting writing course (more on that later, hopefully!) and more than ever, I'm feeling the writing bug. So here goes... As these things often[...]
what's allowed to bloom when you remove the weeds? Recently, I've been leaning into my soul's yearning to slow down. That's right, amidst the height of Yang season (Spring/Summer), I felt like I needed to step away from the Spiritual Feminist a little bit and let her do her own thing. I truly believe everything within and around us is energy and I treat my business as such as well. The Spiritual Feminist flows with me, around me, through me, but also separately from me. And thus when my soul w[...]
Synchronicity & Surrender I hosted a free vision board workshop this week (you can still catch the replay!) which was so much fun. I guided 15 women live (and 50+ of you during the replay!) through the process of creating a (spiritual) vision board. The key ingredient? Focus on how you would like to FEEL, rather than set outcomes. This allows you to drop from the mind (harsh goals, step-by-step outline) into the heart & soul. You see, the feeling we would like to call in can come fro[...]
"You're too emotional" Have you ever been told you were 'too sensitive', 'too emotional', 'too loud', 'too serious', 'too playful', 'too sexy', or 'too [fill in the blank]'? Have you ever been told you were TOO MUCH of yourself?When did we ever start to believe that fully expressing yourself, with your voice, your creativity and your energy, was a BAD thing?I can't wrap my head around it, and yet, I've been there. As a child I was too loud, too sensitive and too, well, weird.I[...]
Strong Roots & Wide Wings As many of you know through the podcast, I am currently on a journey of reconnecting to my own menstrual cycle again - after 10 years of birth control. This process has taught me so much already. My body lovingly guided me to slow down the first few weeks, and now she's slowly settling into a natural rhythm again of rising, peak, decreasing and low energy.This has made me reflect on something.We cannot expect ourselves to peak when we don't allow[...]
