A Year of Turning Towards Yourself with Love.
“Nothing is sacred until we make it so with the eloquence of our attention, the poetry of our patience, the parenting warmth of our admiration” ~ Toko-Pa Turner
At this time year, there can be a longing to reset, to start fresh and begin again. It’s time to let go what has gone before in 2016, and allow for a conscious opening to appear, space to let in a brand new year – 2017.
I love this time of year. Fresh beginnings and a choice to begin again with an open heart, no matter what has happened before.
This can sometimes feel overwhelming or too hard, and if so, nurturing support is available to you and within your reach. Reaching out for support when you feel vulnerable, uncertain or fearful is a new beginning too. Nurturing and connection helps steady us on our path, helping us feel more grounded, trusting and wise – within ourselves.
When you turn towards yourself with love and support, you allow yourself to nurture your own pain. Transformation happens when we practice awareness – paying attention to our wounding, and creating conscious choices while we turn towards ourselves with patience, love, and nurturing, feminine energy.
This year, you can turn towards yourself with love – to practice embodying the love all around and within you.
Pay attention to your longings – they are not something to be banished or feared. Longing is a friend, a messenger that points you in the direction of your heart. Like a map, it gives you clues that help you learn where to pay attention – where you need to slow, stop or spend more time.
Longing is what helps us make connections – with ourselves, with each other, with the sacred, and with the earth. We are meant for connection, to be in relationships that help us thrive and grow. If we didn’t ever feel longing, we would never seek each other out. We would live in isolation, never building communities, never taking the kinds of risks that result in intimacy, passion and aliveness.
Longing and love go hand in hand. Love grows in the world when we respond to our longing and reach out in connection and community.
What your heart is longing for is asking for you to open your heart. Take time to reflect and to let go of old stories and attachments that don’t serve us anymore. Continue on the path of healing to soften the parts of us that keep us guarded and protected, as well as heal the wounded parts of us that fear the deep vulnerability that comes with intimacy.
In-person & Skype sessions are available for Individuals & Couples – let’s walk together – with our hearts open – with space for truth to rise.
Upcoming offerings include:
Writing from the Heart – A Wholehearted 4-Week Workshop – Writing experience is not required, this is time for you.

We will walk away with deeper understanding of ourselves and how to enjoy our deepest experience. (Begins Wednesday, January 18th – 7pm to 9pm)
Healing Through the Body – Movement as Medicine Classes– A new experience for your body, mind & heart. A chance to practice a toolkit of body play that will deepen your experience of ’embodied presence’.

This is time to let go of stress, to sink deeper into yourself and to take time for you. This approach heals trauma through the body, cultivates long-term vitality and strength, deeper connection to self, and the possibility of freer movement.
