School of Shamanic Womancraft Four Seasons Journey: Full Moon Gathering

6 Jul, 2017 | BLOG, Spirituality, The Priestess Path

It felt like only yesterday, but then again a hundred moons since The Opening Gathering of my Four Seasons Journey with the School of Shamanic Womancraft, when I once again travelled to the Otways Forest for our Full Moon Gathering. A period of time in my personal...

My decision to become a part of the School of Shamanic Womancraft Four Seasons Journey was made with bold decisiveness. As soon as I saw it mentioned on Instagram by the woman who was to guide our new tribe of sisters – Nymh Fox – I was a full bodied yes. Of...

What does someone's size have to do with spiritual What does someone's size have to do with spirituality?⁠ ⁠ Well to be perfectly honest it shouldn’t have anything to do with it - but the world we live in that is steeped in sizest and fatphobic rhetoric and messaging - makes it so.⁠ ⁠ My truly wonderful guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Andrea Westbrook @andreawestbrookcoaching, a life coach for fat, curvy and plus sized women.⁠ ⁠ Andrea shares with us about the necessary reclaiming of the word fat, how exclusionary spiritual spaces can be of people who are fat and most importantly of all - what we can do about such things to make a spiritual path of life exploration open to us all.⁠ ⁠ I know you will find Andrea inspirational and heart opening in her messaging about this topic which is not just relevant in spiritual spaces and our work - but our lives in general as well. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
This is a static photo. Obvious to say, but part o This is a static photo. Obvious to say, but part of my post point. And it likely means it will only be seen by only a small number of people, even with my 11K+ followers. Such is the evolution of such spaces + getting used to them giving us certain things. Nothing is static + certainly it isn't here where we are passengers + while in control of how we show up, not of anything else once we do. We may like to be, but we're not. And the latest evolution of this space has me thinking, feeling + acting differently here than previously. Just last week I was hearting all your photos + commenting in a frenzy because I KNEW just like me, what you were posting was not getting the love it once did. I wanted to do my part, but that freneticism is not for me. And I honour that reaction is mine to deal with. When I look at this professionally taken photograph of myself by @_in_the_flow_ I see a 50 yo woman who arrived at that shoot without pro hair + makeup, wearing an op shop dress. The external shifts reflect an ageing + life transition that is seeing me value myself + my time, effort + energy more than I ever have. How I spend my time + with whom is more precious to me than it ever has been. I enjoy this space. I can't imagine not being here. However the frequency + pace with which I post here is evolving. As it changes so do I, because I do not have a desire to pour my heart into what I hope is helpful + inspiring content or heartfelt sharings of my life + it not be seen - even by those who consciously choose for it to be shown to them. Because we ALL know we are not seeing things on here we want to, through no doing of our own. And are we responsible for ensuring the content we share is good and captures attention in a meaningful way? Of course. But that is NOT what is happening here for so many. I will be here less. And that feels right + a chance for me to deepen into my email community + loving my clients + people in real time. I am choosing to evolve in how I show up here just as I am in life right now. Alignment. Even when it's challenging + comes with uncertainty, it still clicks. That's what alignment truly is. A click. A knowing. A yes.
September - you were a wild rollercoaster ride. September - you were a wild rollercoaster ride. I pulled off with great joy in partnership with @heart_sparks @tedxcecilstreet - It was beyond all comprehension of amazingness. Bloody hard work = yep. Worth it = yep. Our house progressed in Warragul and is now going up fast. Patience is a virtue they say. I have none for this right now and am bordering on stalking events and wonderful things happening in the region. I plan to be living it up in the country and so get ready #Warragul I was heartfully blown away with your comments and sharings about my post here on IG about perimenopause. It’s no joke. Right now I’m in a good phase of not too many hot flashes (thank you!) but more than my fair share of brain fog. For a type A achiever like me it’s a challenging place to be and you don’t want to know how many things I’ve lost or misplaced this past month alone. I’m racking them up. So grateful to this man of mine who is being beyond supportive. We went on the most divine holiday to Yirrganydji Country, Far North Queensland. It was gorgeously warm, luscious, filled with good food, sleep, rainforest bathing and ocean swims in the Coral Sea. The water temperature was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced - so warm like a bath. Victorian ocean you have a LOT to answer for. (Also - my hair in the tropics is either hot AF or a freaking fizz disaster. There is no middle ground!) While away I began to contemplate what I will do with my now bulging wait list for mentoring. No answers came. I want to work with you all. Truly. And I can’t. I know something will come. And on the last day of the month I hosted a brand new masterclass for @bycacademy which was SO much fun. I cannot wait to share more about the changes we are making to the course for 2023. It’s going to be even more beautiful than ever before. Thank you September. And Spring. I’m grateful for all of you.
I'm currently enjoying the divine surrounds of Dja I'm currently enjoying the divine surrounds of Djagubay Country (Palm Cove) on a much longed for holiday with my love at the moment...and so it seems incredibly fitting to share this interview I recently did with the incredible Allira Potter @allira.potter on their podcast Fill My Cup for Mamamia Lifestyle @mamamialifestyle about why we are all SO much more than what we 'do' for work. ⁠ ⁠ Allira shared in this episode (which nearly made me cry - not a great start to a chat!) the influence I've had in their life as a coach + business owner, but we then got down to the real reason for our time together which was to talk about the vital importance of seeing ourselves as so much more than our work.⁠ ⁠ We touch on...⁠ ⁠ > Why our capitalist driven world places so much emphasis on what we do + how it hasn't always been this way⁠ > How we can start to explore our joy + pleasure outside of work⁠ > How I believe the relationship we have with the seasons, land/country + our culture is so important in exploring who we are ⁠ > How Indigenous people are an inspiration in this space right from the initial moments of meeting people + getting to know them better - and why... ⁠ ⁠ It's the perfect episode for anyone to listen to on a Sunday when you may be feeling anxious, overworked, heading to or already at burnout stage or simply questioning if what you do for your work is helping you to fully be the human being you're here to be.⁠ ⁠ Thank you Allira! I loved our time together for this so much.
You have likely heard me say more than once on The You have likely heard me say more than once on The Priestess Podcast that our shadow, fears and ego self have so much to teach us as human beings and are not things to push away or deny.⁠ ⁠ They only grow in ways that can make them even harder to face when we do that! And I speak from experience - which maybe you can relate to as well.⁠ ⁠ Tracy Neely @tracy_the_energy_priestess is with us on the show today to speak to how our wounds - and in particular our emotional wounds - can be a pathway of transformation for us into wisdom we hold deeply within and is calling to be loved and integrated into our everyday life. Tracy is an intuitive healer, seer and soul priestess who supports soulful women entrepreneurs expand into the fullest embodiment by alchemizing their wounds into their wisdom so they show up powerfully in their brilliance creating an impact with their soul work. Tracy has a beautifully spiritual and very grounded way of helping us look at the darker parts of ourselves and how we can honour them in such a way that they become teachers, guides and wayshowers in our lives.⁠ ⁠ This is a special episode that shows us so deeply that all of our life experiences can have lessons within them that are waiting for us to become wiser through. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
It’s undoubtedly one of the biggest and most hea It’s undoubtedly one of the biggest and most heart and life expanding things I’ve ever done. And I’m so glad I did it with Jo Parker @heart_sparks TEDxCecilStreet was beyond the binary brilliant and I can’t thank all of our incredible volunteers, a/v team, photographer Fi Mims @fimims, audience members and of course our speakers for making this inaugural one so amazing. Still basking. Ever grateful.
