25.01.2022 Home practice feels I’ve begun to feel the capacity to share again.. to offer up some snippets. I can’t promise the dolls will hold space for you the way these two do though https://www.facebook.com/groups/2277828625858911/?ref=share if you’d like to join my fb practice with Kali group ... any zoom links will show up there too as time goes on. Be patient though x @ Yallingup, Western Australia, Australia

25.01.2022 Bias Personal by nature, communal by influence and a great tool for our ‘neat and uncluttered’ minds. It orders our filters, directs our focus, informs our actions....Continue reading

Being that partner, friend, mother, professional, employee, boss, hustler, creator, thinker, teacher, lover, nurturer, angry, demure, faerie, mermaid, angel, devil, wild thing, loose goose, couch sitter, binge watcher, bookworm, introvert, party girl, thrill seeker, exhausted, foggy, variable, fragile, fearless, fierce, home maker, flower planter, world saver, advocate, exception. All this and then some - add your word below in the comments Again, I see ...you and I want you to know and to really feel it in your spectacular fluid body each and every part of you matters. It’s all essential in the being of you. We need you to be you. It’s your greatest gift. The ultimate service. Over my years I’ve gathered tools to help my body unravel from perceptions of Not enough/too much Out of time/place I’m ready to share. But know this It’s a practice. Unraveling is sometimes painful and always agitating but the relief. Even for a few seconds the relief of the embrace into the softness of self is profound. You’ll want to drop in over and over. And each time you do enter your wholeness you’ll feel your place in the all as true. It’s in you. It is you. Allow yourself time to know all you are Meet + acknowledge every single part and see where that leads you. This is the work of the divine feminine. I’m teaming up with an elemental bunch of deep diving women @zsuzsa.oct @saschamartineau @hridaya_108 and a sweet no limits man @shaunkay369 under the umbrella of @uplift_retreats to offer you a profound opportunity. To explore the varied, tested digested set of tools each of us live by. It’s what we do. The offer is there - we want to share. 26th February to the 1st march 2022 In the ancient + actually magical South West WA Book online link https://www.upliftretreats.co/retr/sacred-feminine-retreat/ And for you - my crew a discount code UPLIFTER5 . . . #retreat #retreat2022 #femininerising #sacredfeminine #selfcare #yogaretreat2022 #meditationretreat

24.01.2022 International Women’s day has become one of absolute fave days of the year ... a big YES to celebration in all forms of life. I’m up for stretching it out for a week or more though - there’s a lot of gold. I started the day teaching a private class of young crew dealing with arthritis - #osteoarthritis , #rheumatoidarthritis #fibroids inspired and loved up. Thanks @wellgevity I then got my ‘trade’ on hanging off an industrial floor sander to prep the floor of my new small s...tudio. Quick ocean hit then danced in an old school town hall with a bunch of loves and faves... had an absolute blast followed by a sweet moon light walk home with a dear sister. What a joy summertime life can be for an extroverted sanguine type See more

23.01.2022 There is so much to absorb and ample space to do that within. Take that in. It’s a massive statement and not something I’ve ever really felt before it’s always been... how do I protect my self or how do I ground myself or how do I translate myself Today I find myself as all and none of those things. It’s been large is THE most ridiculous understatement. Anyone who knows @drscottlyons and @tarajudelle knows that the #embodiedflow #yoga school knows they dive deep... through in @bonniebainbridgecohen And it becomes an inner schooling the likes of which this little wild flower yearns for. But I’m not going to sugar coat it it was hard - the conversations, witnessing the pain in social justice issues getting up at 5am everyday (maybe the hardest ) and finishing really late most days. There is another shot in my phone where my eyes are open but truthfully around Bonnie at the end of the day this was a welcome hug of respite. Today I slept late, I had a Thai massage and a sauna, looked at an epic flea market just to be there but knew it was far too early to immerse in that world so I danced on the grass to the sweet soul music and marvelled at the resilience of this vessel I get to experience the magic of my self through. @ San Francisco, California See more

23.01.2022 Winter solstice She was all that and then some happy long nights lovers... here’s to swimming in wetsuits, bringing raincoats on walks and making THE most of every sunshiny day. @ Margaret River, Western Australia

23.01.2022 Taking any support you are offered from the circumstances you find yourself is key to integration. There is a lot to unpack there but the essence of it is lean into the certainty of nature ... find a patch of grass and place your feet on it, if you are staying home then make it a bucket or basin of water or hold the leaves of a living indoor plant or grab a natural crystal- just connect in with something ‘natural’ as a gateway to your own body sweetly also ‘natural’ and made of earth. From there practice gratitude, love and acceptance of all that is and take some gentle movement - keeping in the wonderment of all that you are a part of this is today’s practice. **-** #isolation #connectwithnature #yoga #somatic #breatheinbreatheout #tantrayoga

23.01.2022 25 years ago this connection queen @nuinoodle rocked my world and made me a mumma... I can’t even begin to express the gratitude for the journey so far. Thanks for cracking my heart wide open and showing me just how much I can create, expand, absorb and tolerate when I am immersed in love

22.01.2022 It’s summer here and that means we are mostly all about the beach and the sunsets so here is the bush view sunrise not my natural woke time. I’m immersed in a non-dual embodiment/meditation training that runs in the #usa eastern time, with the incredible Judith Blackstone founder of The Realization Process. I live in Western Australia so I’m sometimes up at 2am inhabiting my studio whilst my household slumbers. One of the very best things about this is the early morning tran...sitions I get to be a part of. Sharing this today to remind us all of the joy of a simple life. Taking a moment to look around and be awed. #bush #sunrise #meditation #meditationpractice See more

22.01.2022 ... Gratitude ... This arrived today mmmmm you’ll find me immersed in this gem... I LOVE learning and drawing from traditions - yesterday was a functional movement workshop with the awesome David Fitzgerald today is devoted to traditional Chinese medicine and energy study this is true privilege. @ Yallingup, Western Australia, Australia

22.01.2022 Desert dirty, dusty, salty happy .... my response to my 10yr olds tic-toc ‘savage’ song #keepitsimple

21.01.2022 Important reminder for all <3 "For moms, letting go of the martyr mentality is less about a huge life overhaul, and more about building a new muscle. This muscle represents your own thoughts, feelings and preferences. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity. And it is a gift only you can give yourself."

21.01.2022 Spring equinox ode Crisp Freshly washed Growth... Bewildering life forces Soak it up Scattered rays of light Reflecting off all and seemingly nothing Today, continuing on my festival of Kali week, I was horseback riding in this Karri forest with some other equine lovers. There is a rhythm and nervous system reset that occurs for me on a horse and combine that with the forest = feeling fiiiinnnneee. I was born on the equinox and my Irish grandmother used to counsel me to keep that quiet ... Maybe she was still scared I’d be persecuted for being the witchy creature I am and was even then as a young one. Maybe she knew there’s a power in little secrets like that... The thing is secrets are showing themselves to be obsolete. I continue to embrace disclosure. In the spirit of spring equinox I’m in transmute and assimilate. A mode of abandon and creation at the very same time. Tomorrow I spring clean Today I play What’s your fave spring equinox ritual?

21.01.2022 Play - Community - Love Every day I’m loving those in my life bubble ... devotion to living in the most human way possible means sometimes stretching past the everyday into the wild. Thanks to these and the other wild things I smiled and wiggles my way into 2020 with ... slept from 7.30pm til 5.30am last night = balance

21.01.2022 Life Enlightenment Goals not just in flashes but every. single. moment.

20.01.2022 .Layers of soft. My year starts from my day of birth - I remember this decision as a I think around 8 year old and it came after a lesson on how calendars work. I witnessed the flimsy structure and realised ‘don’t lean in to that, humans can’t even agree on when the year starts’ To start from when I took my first breath made much more sense. Second major musing on this came when I learnt about the relative vs linear time banter. Again if this sequential clock is just a way ...to help my mind make sense of the world what else is like that? Not leaning into that either... so the sun and moon became my timepiece and my infamous lack of regard for time keeping blossomed. Some humans in my life struggled but most were understanding, I witnessed the magic capacity of humanity adaption. So I’ve come to a ‘time’ now ... I’m in the midst of another layer of understanding. I have steadily woven a web of something like control ... I made time my own. I took something that wasn’t real and fashioned it into something still not real but something. That something is quite bound and certainly not the freedom of yield, you know the gentle meeting, I sense it has the possibility of being. So I release my personal concept of time I don’t know what it is or isn’t I have no sense of my place within it I am wholly curious I am open to all of it Relative - let’s relate Linear- let’s slide Unknown- hey there Flowers gifted by the flower woman Ashleigh Pasco #relate #musings #embody See more

20.01.2022 A timely post from a teacher of mine. for me the 2020 energy already depends on allowing or surrender ... In the past I've thrived off intensity energy in the present I am allowing the intensity to consume and surrendering to whatever is for me.... whatever is for me Words I have chanted and called in many times before but now is different I'm all in. It's new, raw and potentially frightening. I'm finding myself feeling strong, empowered and crystal clear as I witness the unfolding internally and externally. "Whether Kali seems terrifying, fascinating or loving depends on our state of consciousness and our level of both emotional and spiritual development. But she always invites us to a radical form of ego-transcendence. She is a massive love-force that is literally death to the ego. When she erupts in your life, Kali will cut away whatever is extraneous, whatever is indulgent. To know her boons, you must, in some way surrender to her intensity." See more

20.01.2022 I’ve been crafting, honing skills and cementing my style. There is really no mirror like art to gain a deeper sense of my way. I’m reminded that for the broader world/universal happiness the only influence I can truly have is to know myself and express that. If a stroke or movement or mark seems ‘wrong’ in the moment then I can transform it or ... love it or integrate it until it fits, until it feels like mine. Sometimes that means collapsing it in, other times it’s a complete change of tone, an about turn of texture or a deepening of layers it all contributes to the beauty of the whole piece. Here’s my latest piece - bringing my style to our families functional everyday pieces. Im not sugar coating this I’m in a real journey with potting ... it has been hilariously humbling. Starting with collapsing pieces on a wheel as my tendency to over work showed up, then transformed to what appeared to be very unconventional bowl shapes that mimiced the natural forms of shells - some of our favourite household bowls now as they cradle in the hand so beautifully. Next up my love of a solid base the weightiness giving me a sense of truly holding something. Many small cups and mugs followed. The colour palette expressed in my lifelong favourite blue-black interspersed with sparkling white and earthy rusts. Now I’m exploring plates well nearly this is a 1/2 plate 1/2 bowl. The planes of the body sagittal, coronal and transverse springing into my expression first through movement in my practice then making their way into the clay. I’m forming, un-forming, through-forming and in-forming consistently. There is such contented joy. So much gratitude to @claylines for the gentle guidance and my clay crew for the laughs, encouragement and human connection @angewallphoto @nelliebwell @aliceleavy @biancakatephotography @margaretriverwoodfiredbread @louisepaul8 #yogapractice #arttherapy See more

20.01.2022 Isolating in my part of the world is a privilege- I know it’s not the same everywhere. Moving into my body is a joy - I know every body does not allow that. Sitting in my mind is playful and creative- it’s rarely so easeful so I’m enjoying this. Today is a welcome break from the stream of reception I’ve been present with as I immerse myself in the collective experience. You all know it’s huge right now... ... we are surrounded with gripping and fear and anxiousness and worry and constriction and suppression and humanity. We are equally surrounded by expansion through our communication networks, hope that looking after the collective all is emerging as a priority, we are leaning into the sweetness in the small community networks reaching out, the inward nature of this forced pause might lead us to see what’s right in front of us, as we take the time to notice our humanity in all it’s forms. There’s a lot to like and much that needs to be loved a little more. For me I’ve been re visiting some historical spiritual texts ... in the spiritual truth of all as all. As so many structures shudder under the weight of the flexibility required to meet current circumstances - we stand witness. And it’s curious to note what can we personally resonate with. Where do we shake and try to hold it together? When do we collapse - noting that often the effort to hold is such that its contribution has become an impingement to integrity? Is it possible to respond, to ripple with, to immerse our selves in and maintain connection to our selves... I know many of us are working with, through and into this and I just want to put it out there that I see, stand with and I support you #somaticexperiencing #meditation #yoga See more

18.01.2022 ~~~~~~~feeling~~~~~~~ For me the quest is this how do I feel .... what happens in me when I feel........ What will take that feeling into some sort of motion........ Which parts of me celebrate in this motion.... Ahhh Now this is - see above feeling... Somatic sensation is not limited to the sense of touch, exploring and expanding into all senses is play. Authentic feeling in the body is vitality and when I’m vital I meet my surroundings differently. Embracing liquidity and the more formed spaces of shape along with movement and distribution. Thanks for making my integration to vitality easeful today @southaustralianbeaches by Tim Dixon Scarf playing in the breeze my absolute fave The Tide and The Moon Collective See more

13.01.2022 Social distancing musing #107089 .... honestly probably WAY more - welcome to our collective mind. Do you have children in your life? They don’t have to be ‘yours’ to be in your life as @michelle.troop @naomi_ashcroft @manranmoving can attest to ... for the little one I have in my life right now this is what we’ve been doing ... have you taught them skills?... We’ve spent the ‘lockdown’ homing in on some essentials like lighting fires, cooking sourdough, holding you breath underwater long enough to actually ‘see’ what it’s like down there... walking in the forest til you feel lost, then finding your way hone again... listening really super long past when you feel you could stop LISTENING to nature and consequently each other, going over a story, poem or art piece until you feel intimate with it - like it’s a part of you It’s what we can do ... what we are doing... And it’s what matters See more

13.01.2022 It’s so simple and deeply true

12.01.2022 About last night

12.01.2022 Last night was our first big storm of the wild winter. I’m without electricity But the power of this storm in me is buzzing. Let’s move back a bit .... You know when you ‘rally’ your energy, you use self talk to motivate - sometimes positive sometimes not so much and you prop yourself up til your moving, flowing again?... You push to create the right conditions and carve out a moment in time that you think will keep you present? This is not this time .... Storms don’t wait til you’ve got sufficient water in your containers, because you know water pumps need power.. I seemingly learnt nothing from Co-vid 19 lockdown about preparedness. I’m breaking up with being hyper prepared. Not a popular statement right now I know but we are not working out ... not supporting each other in the way we intend to, this extended’s to emotional hyper preparedness Because I throw tantrums when I feel unsupported and no running water triggers this said tantrum *#%^ involving throwing cushions out of my way while I fix this - I’m am always ‘sorting stuff’ mumbling under my breath. Dressing myself in the multiple layers of warmth needed to brave ridiculous sideway rain .. feeling every bit the wild explorer to find there was a clean bucket outside filling with clear energised water to have my tea with mmm. I’ve got a getaway vehicle maybe I can find a coffee place open .... I also have a scheduled zoom class with @tarajudelle can I make it ... can I do both? Yoga wins and 5 mins in the power drops out. #2 tantrum of the day - gimme the car keys.. coffee I’m coming for you. My phone flashes as a reminder that it too is an Internet enabled device independent from power for this moment. Yoga with 3G without a picture? it was liberating.. the wild winds and rain spurring me on to expand and magnetise to the corners of my little shelter home powerful to move into the veils of perceived ‘real and tangible’ constriction like weather and ‘connection’ again instead of just human/legal restrictions of #covid as a barrier to expanding me. I moved, jumped, climbed the literal walls and cupboards. Then collapsed in savasana knowing nothing but my storm. See more

11.01.2022 { A LITTLE PIECE OF BIG WISDOM } ___ A comment made by a dear friend Kali at My Calm Space a few weeks ago while we were celebrating her most recent trip aroun...d the sun, fireside and under a full moon. You know, one of those nights with a hint of magic sparkle to it. It could have very well been mistaken for a "throwaway" comment in the moment, the casual tone and half-giggle of delivery even had the potential for it to go unheard all together... however it stuck, like thick, warm, honey to my soul. "Oh Nell, don't make it so big that it becomes little and don't make it so little that it becomes big." How perfect, how utterly perfect. So I thought I'd leave this little piece of big wisdom right here for you to enjoy as well. (In the meantime, I'll be over here being as grateful as ever that you turned up earth side at the same time as me, KD and I can't wait for the next "naughty twin" cane chair adventure instalment. Please send her my regards. ) Love, Nellie B. Xx See more

11.01.2022 Latest schedule Yogi crew I’m home and intending to be around for a good grounding summer season... so I wanted to share with you what I’ve been up to. I completed my advanced Embodied Flow training in Greece, to add to my other yogic explorations such as Fly High Aerial and Embodied Yin some 750hrs. ... This allows a grounding of my skill set and my practice as a Yoga Teacher / Embodiment Enabler. Then I was fortunate enough to be offered a role that enabled me to attend an Embodiment Conference in San Francisco. Yipppeee Here I workshopped with some amazing field leaders, all well on their way to maintaining a samadhi or enlightened state who each offered a ‘map’ of sorts that led them to their very personal interaction with the potential joy of life. The immersion further cemented in me a sense of my own way which is of course what I endeavour to offer in classes. Classes resume tomorrow Monday 28th October at 6.30am I look forward to seeing you all for a hug when your schedule permits. For those crew that train hard and need a nourishing wind down or those that feel limiting pain in their body or those curious souls that love to revel in sweet soft movement I got you covered - see my answer to a sunset session... a post sunset gentle movement meditation. This season I’m adding an offering of a movement meditation, as an alternative ‘Sunday session’ a way to close up the weekend and transition - we will begin at 7.30pm, at the beach studio Shaana, with a post sunset glow and candle light. The movement and breath work will be gentle, mindful and focussed on allowing a sense of space in the body. It is suitable for all and utilises techniques that can be performed by even the most pain challenged among us, it’s an upright/standing practice and does not require a mat, but of course bring yours along if you love it and if you like to lie down. Guided Mediation is how we end and that may be performed seated in a chair, on the floor or in savasana. ....,,,,,..........,,,,,.... In love and gratitude Kali See more

10.01.2022 No premalya class today Yogis

10.01.2022 I am not be the one scared to move Fearing the celebration of life in all her constructions Ruminating on the destructions Calculating the losses ... Determining the repercussions This stuff is over handled. ........................................... You will find me sensing into the order Leaning into my love Searching out the wild places inside and out. Listening intently to the undercurrent, Always remind me my childhood , to lean in, to search out .... the river. See more

10.01.2022 ..,,,-On the edge-,,,.. Finding your edge is often discussed in yoga or physical training ... It’s the point where you recognise what you are comfortable with and a you get a glimpse of what is past that. I no longer subscribe to this and truthfully haven’t done for a long time. When I find that edge I’m lingering.... Here on a steep incline I resonated deeply with this exposed root - no longer buried in the earth but cradled none the less. A lesson in sense... tasting, listening, touching, seeing and even soaking in the scent of all that is ... The temperature of the moment seeps in, My sense of balance - the gravitational relationship of my form to this moment informs me, The literal hairs that surround this form and I buzz with electro signals that communicate another layer of here, you are here, I close my dominant visual down and settle in. Then I know proprioception - a clunky word for a series of even clunkier feels - relativity of my parts to my myself in space - in now. But it’s here I linger Suspended Mumma ‘a la grab it now or never’ nature teaches me well, this moment is precarious but this is not flippancy this is not danger. Simply answering the call Play with me Engage Reciprocate #nature #cliff #roots #yoga #somaticexperiencing #somatics #wilderness #hang See more

09.01.2022 I knew this embodiment meditation immersion would be big, that it would confirm or well you know leave me feeling a little unsure .... but these last few days have been revolutionary for me. I am accessing a sense of myself in relation to the wider world that redefines any restrictions and paves the way for an integration that excites my self to the core and all places in between ... beyond grateful for the opportunity and big love to my family and friends holding the large life at home whilst I do this... it’s worth it I love you Check out #michaelbernardbeckwith mystic and awesome human. True inspiration overload ... more to come oh and me on my fave lawn spot days and nights are long and full so this is my grounding zone. #sanfrancisco #meditatedaily #yogalife #embodimentcoach #embodiedwoman @ UC Berkeley Conference Services

09.01.2022 .-.~.=.This day .-.~.=. It’s one of those days, I can feel my safe space wavering, Uncertainty in my choices running through me like a forged drain channel. This is is my point of recognition ... when I start referring to my body as a forged or carved or moulded thing I’m in disconnect. When I reason it out ‘so many choices to make with the house build’, ‘it’s come-down after loads of treatments given yesterday’ no real truths in the above so... I’m in disconnect. My capacity to notice is increasing and the tools I have at hand fairly abundant Sit with it meditate go in Move and play Practice and find the rhythm OR I head to liquid ocean and letting her hold me. Salt I’m on my way Body meet you there Today I Am Held See more

09.01.2022 ...We dive deep... If I had to sum up my parenting, life philosophy and practical approach this is it. So even now,... I take a breath and immerse. It’s going to get deeper, there will be more pressure, You will need you tools, go deep... it’ll remind you what it is to feel life to treasure it. That’s all. Loved our adventure 10,000 km I drove in three weeks, Three tyres destroyed, Millions of stars we slept under, Red dirt, ancient rock and blue ocean, Art book bursting with pictures, Endless songs sung, Hearts filled. Which is exactly why we went. Soon this little 10yr old poppet will have a surgical experience to remove an extra electrical pathway she grew in her heart in utero. #wolfparkinsonwhitesyndrome is what the doctors call it and ‘super fast heart beat’ is what we know it as. We are looking forward to slowing the feedback down for her and a continued life of adventures. If I’m quiet on here this is why ... I might not be as I’m not sure what I’ll choose to do with the inevitable wait time we now immerse ourselves in but just in case... This is why.

08.01.2022 It’s been a weekend of play ... When Halloween finally lands as truly worth a celebration in Australia what else is there to do?

Then adult funster @tim_hawken and crew put together the Bloodsuckers Ball raising funds for The Against Malaria Foundation. Feeling the lightness, joy and privilege of the collective...

So play, dress up or down, be creative with glasses and candlelight like my 10 yr old creative poppet who took this photo after loving what she saw when she drank her water.

07.01.2022 .~Becoming~. When I was young I suffered... I floated for the longest time through trauma memories, self imposed physical restrictions, self destructive/sabotage and above all disconnect. Living life alternating between reckless disregard and tentative contraction...afraid to take up too much space then demanding more than I could handle. Empathy, compassion and connection was tricky, my inner circle intimate and fierce - still some of my favourite people of all time. ... I know I’m not alone in this. But I wonder at this youger me and consistently wish to keep the truths of these parts to hold them as mine - part of my weave. What I remember is deeply knowing that I am most happy in active service ... Having a reason, a driving force made sense for me. So when this soul found me as her mumma, barely an adult my self, any searching ceased. An absolute certainty in my way began to inform every action, response and direction. My inner childhood world was ‘levelled up’ and super capable me ruled. I became a manifestation queen houses, careers, funds, relationships, travel... PRETENDING to have it sorted. But I still had some disconnect see above... yep back to the beginning. Fast forward to 2006 and the inner work truly began as I prepared to welcome a second child - ended up being a three year preparation Unravelling my capacity into learning how to be supported and as a natural consequence supportive. Once again my girl now a fully feeling teen acted as a catalyst, an initiation point for deep self love, care and esteem. A step back from co-dependence. There were tears, painful truths, solid boundary pushing and tantrums from the both of us. For my part I listened, trusted my truth and kept feeling. For her part she held firm to her wholeness, resisted my perfectionism and called out my BS allowing and co-creating a mumma daughter bond that we both lean deeply into. To the mumma and the child I love and deeply appreciate you See more

05.01.2022 Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts,... For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness. For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.

05.01.2022 .Allowing what is. I’ve been connecting in with my namesake lately - as much internally as through the unfolding ‘let go’ the world as a whole is experiencing. Big times call in the big goddesses energies This from Sally Kempton resonated with me today. ... ruthless insistence on meting us to the bone, we'll never get down to our essence, down to the apparent nothingness that alone can reveal our true vastness, and out of which real creativity arises. From early in life I found a relationship with fear that meant it intrigues rather than rules me, it’s fuel ... It isn't enough to pay lip service to the beautiful idea that in our essence we are God living as a human being. To actually realize that, to BE it, demands that we step forward audaciously into our largeness and love, and that we be willing to look into and surrender to our own darkness, our shadowy motives, our built-in contraction Bring on the actual integrity in the shadows, the wholeness that exists when we feel what we are in all facets and start from there. Much gratitude to @sallykemptonofficial and eternally to @tarajudelle for courageously embodying the wholeness of holding space. I’m back doing transformational absolutely knock you flat back into your self embodiment bodywork for those that wish to feel it. Strictly by appointment. PM me Yallingup area and possible Fremantle sessions available.

05.01.2022 ......Remote..... Not inaccessible but you know you might need to jump out of your comfort zone to get there Grateful for the means to search out the places that make my decompression so easy. Feeling some spaces inside opening into gorge like chasms, complete with the deep fresh water pools and lush foliage. The desert always my teacher.

04.01.2022 ...Bringing the ritual.... So blessed to facilitate and hold space for this Irish powerhouse of a mumma and her tribe of women. Heartfelt holding and sharing space, flowers and crowns, spirals of movement, song by the awesome @lucyspeaches and the crafting of special cards for this mum to be to draw from when she needs her crew. I love my work.

04.01.2022 It’s a flashback pic from @michelle.troop But the feels are the same as a recent self practice.... Also acting as invitation to join in on an embodiment summit that I KNOW you’ll all love. Details in comments. Lean in... it’s been my mantra of late.... I’d love to share a moment from one of my personal practices this week. Feeling my breath tighten as I moved into a sort of memory awareness of my past - like decades ago - conditions in the lungs. Gripping as I unconsciously retract from the sensations... Clenching. Protecting. Saving the feeling for another time. It’s humbling stuff I am so grateful for the capacity, the space to explore this dance of contraction. The practice of ‘felt sense’ as articulated to me by Scott Lyons and then expanded on with further study is an integral tool. Exploring the sensation, gently moving into and away from the restricted or forgotten space. Playing. Finding a spontaneous burst of energy... Moving with this Allowing and safely soothing the tissue with My breath My love My movement The result is immaterial and it’s for sharing another time. It’s the process that holds the golden vein of possibility. #embodiedyogasummit #embodiment #freeconference #freeconference2020 #freeyoga #freeyogaclass #freeyogamasterclass #yogamaster #yogamasterclass #embodimentpractice #embodimentproject #soamticexperiencing #somatictherapy #somatic #somatichealing #somaticmovement #somatics #somaticyoga

02.01.2022 ~Caitanyamatma~ Translates loosely as ‘the independent state of consciousness’ For me this is me as me in this as this ..... And this is rich and terrible and soft and brittle. I bubble with clarity and chaos,... With knowing and a complete lack of sense I fumble and then deftly demonstrate capacity.

01.01.2022 Ceremony ... movement... maintaining connection this is a few years old now but the reminders hold true. This collective Australian tradition culture has made embodiment of the land an essential life thread through dance, song, sitting/listening and community for tens of thousands of years - It’s a wonderful comfort to be reminded of humanity’s resilience gained through connection.

31.12.2021 This art mixed media sculpture by my daughter Estelle (11 years old) is the final yr 6 personal choice piece. And Stell was acknowledged and stoked to receive the annual DPS Art award. .Whole. When you have two surgeries in two consecutive years it’s sensical you would start to think, feel and translate the experience.... Her teacher asked for an artist statement and its essence is this. Still whole. The amputations, surgical gown, tape, prosthetics, lack of gender, external and internal scars are the story. Stell got sick of explaining that yes, there were some activities she couldn’t do while her heart was so extra, but there was still way more that she could do. The truth is what you hold on to. Cue the balloons The first balloon has joyful imprinted. The second delighted. The third happy. It’s simple + magically assertive of the resilient humanness she witnesses In herself In others In me Grateful for this human Tim and I get to call our child and the many lessons thrown our way as a result. Nurturing a creative isn’t super easy in this society but it probably never has been - doesn’t mean you don’t. Here’s to expression Here’s to allowing Here’s to expanding . . Hold on world There’s an amazing bunch of young crew on their way. . .

30.11.2021 What’s your fave full moon ritual? Last night I decided to honor a major part of who I am by immersing in the service of my KaliMa - this is the mumma aspect o...f me who really does delight in meaningful service. The studio space was already warm from the flow of clients I’d had in for the day and so I invited my 11year old in. I gently worked my Abhyanga massage magic into her limbs, torso and back with some herbal oil we’d made together earlier. Then for the first time I treated her to a shirodhara treatment. This is warm herbal/medicated oil gently and steadily poured over the forehead. She called for her favourite chant OM Namah Shivaya by @ccwhite.music and rested up big time. My girl is visual and she floated through images of a white marble disk, a fine flow of oil running over it then creating an orange coloured mandala in sand. Once the mandalas was created the disk spun and then in the middle of it she visualised the dance between Shiva and Shakti steadily gaining speed as the chanting began to peak and she then reported it went quiet for her and there was just one both shiva and Shakti merged and she looked squarely into the eye of the merge. She was so calm as she retold this to me and we spoke of how these visions/moments are one of the most wonderful things about being human. For me carving out time on a school night, after a big day of treatments to weave some magic is where it’s at Ending in my fave way to honour moonrise - crystals on the deck with me + my fam in a huge outdoor bubble bath under the full aires moon.
