24.01.2022 The body never lies https://www.facebook.com/1407835672856982/posts/2445426615764544/

20.01.2022 I know from my own life journey and from working with others that there's real opportunity in crisis. It's an extraordinary time to be alive and everyday this unravelling space that we're inhabiting brings up ever more questions, emotions and challenges. The world as we thought we knew it is transforming and that's hugely discombobulating. But there's also opportunities to see things differently at this time of disruption; to ask for help, to share more honestly, to risk fully feeling the kaleidoscope of emotions and to listen more deeply. It's an invitation to reflect with fresh eyes on who we think we are and what our work in the world really is. Let me know if I can help.

18.01.2022 The earth is my sister, so writes Susan Griffin. Poetry speaks to our deepest knowing. And when so-called ‘official’ words fail us and we begin to lose sight of how to find our way back to one another, poetry steps forward. A body of words coalescing and softly stitching the fabric of our wounded hearts anew. I so love this piece. Maybe you will too. ‘As I go into the Earth, she pierces me, she pierces my heart. As I penetrate further, she unveils me. When I have reached her ...center, I am weeping openly. I have known her all my life, yet she reveals stories to me, and these stories are revelation and I am transformed. Each time I go to her I am born like this. Her renewal washes over me endlessly, her wounds caress me, I become aware of all that has come between us, of the noise between us, the blindness, of something sleeping between us. Now my body reaches out to her. They speak effortlessly, and I learn at no instant does she fail me in her presence. The Earth is my sister. I love her daily grace, her silent daring, and how loved I am, how we admire this strength in each other, all that we have lost, all that we have suffered, all that we know: we are stunned by this beauty, and I do not forget what she is to me, what I am to her’.

16.01.2022 Where does it hurt? Time to be tender. Care not cure for this crisis. https://onbeing.org//a-care-package-for-health-care-commu/

15.01.2022 Sometimes life takes a uturn. I know from my own life journey and from working with others that there's real opportunity in crisis. It's an extraordinary time to be alive and everyday this unravelling space that we're in brings up ever more questions, challenges and emotions. But it's far from always easy and when we allow ourselves to fully feel into this unravelling it can bring with it strong emotions. Rage, anger and overwhelm, deep sadness and grief companion us, along ...side love, joy and possibility. When we think of others in the world, homeless, hungry and unsafe our hearts can break open. Species lost, bioregions carved up and still it goes on. The world we thought we knew is transforming and that's hugely discombobulating. But there's also opportunities to see things differently at this time of global disruption; to ask for help, to share more honestly, to risk fully feeling the kaleidoscope of emotions and to listen more deeply. Those big feelings are invariably thresholds into the new, so it's also an invitation to reflect with fresh eyes on who we think we are and what our work in the world really is. Our world is pregnant with pain and possibility. Let me know if I can help. See more

14.01.2022 We live in alchemical times... I think this is a terrific, life affirming, life calling read. https://sharonblackie.net/becoming-who-we-are/

08.01.2022 The 'old normal' was abnormal. Many of us think the last thing we 'need' is business as usual. This video is simplistic in many ways, but the great pause could be a transformative threshold not to be missed.

03.01.2022 Now that we're living with social distancing, I'm offering online counselling sessions. And I'm also working one on one with people outdoors, on the beach using Sandtray and symbol work. Something about me :) I know I'm privileged to live here in lutruwita Tasmania and I bow low to First Nations custodians; past, present and emerging leaders who continue to care for country and community. ... Earth has always been my teacher so I'm an Ecotherapist at heart. With training in experiential Jungian psychotherapy, a Masters in Sustainability Education and 20 years in social work, I companion people on their life journey. Along the way healing happens, together with growing self awareness, more aliveness and thus more conscious living. I'm also an activist, gardener and surfer. I believe that we've lost our living relationship with Earth, so healing this disconnection lies at the heart of what I offer. By deepening our relationship with self, others and Earth another world is possible

01.01.2022 The intensity of dreams right now seems even more powerful than usual. You know what it's like waking up to the viseral energy of an extraordinary dream. Wow! You can still feel it in your body, see the images so clearly and sometimes even hear a spoken word. Gifts delivered up nightly by our faithful dreamer, inviting us to take on something new, allow something else to die away, discern a difficult truth, or dance wildly in the embrace of new life. Dreams according to Jung ...are the right royal road to the unconcious. And before your waking ego gets hold of it, write it down in as much detail as possible. Keep a journal by your bed. Write it in the first person, as if it's happening right now. Dream 15/01/202 - 'I'm on a long rope attached to a helicopter being transported to a remote surf spot. It's scary as hell, the rope's swinging wildly...' Read it back and pay attention to which words jump out, what symbol has the most power, what's the overall energy like? If you never remember your dreams then work on asking your dreamer to help you, again and again and eventually you will. Make the most of these precious gifts, they probably offer your truest truth, the most current and relevant signposts to life right now and they're yours for the dreaming. And if you'd like to unpack a dream or two let me know. See more
