It feels like a long time since that morning in July 2014 when I woke up and heard my inner voice saying “Start a women circle!”. Immediately I thought “Who is this?” and soon after I realised that I had heard that voice before and I kind of knew it …My second thought was “Oh…

Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, as I live in a house in Berkeley, California with five other people that seem, for the most part, discontent. Although I long to leave, and even seek out other options, my body won’t cooperate with any kind of movement. The message for me is to “be…

The majority of people on this planet live through ego. They feel that they are themselves special, apart from the crowd in some way, but they aren’t willing to acknowledge other people’s special-ness. They are threatened by the people who are different from them – but rather than seeking to understand another person’s point of…

The Wheel of the Year is turning once again as we slip gently into Autumn and welcome the Mabon festival of the second harvest. While out in the car last weekend, we saw farmers busy tidying their fields, securing their crops, and carrying out general maintenance on trees and outbuildings. Once all of this busy…

I am sitting in the hot tub outside my home in Berkeley, California, soaking in the delicious water that calms my body’s pain. I look up at the sky, stars pushing through the clouds and past city lights that obscure a few from my view. “You are a bloodless sky. You love without wanting,” I…

Greg is his name. I meet him at the YMCA in downtown Berkeley, not far from home. He’s a trainer, and I go to him, thinking he can bring strength back to this broken body of mine. Instead, he becomes another angel in my long healing journey. Soon, Greg and I are visiting every healer…

I was having a really good phone conversation with a friend last week when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a big spider run across the floor and under the chair on the opposite side of the room. I could feel my whole body tense and for the next few days…

The secondhand of the clock moves slowly here in the lowlands of Oakland, California. Everything is an effort: walking around the block, determined to walk again; going swimming at the YMCA; shopping; cooking. When I go to the YMCA, I watch another woman who’s there every time, grabbing onto the low wall, painfully taking baby…

Does anyone else find this quite a tightrope walk? It can be quite mind boggling! The Past, Future but rarely Present The business world at large demands projections, business plans, analysis of data and constant checking of figures – which area of our business should we concentrate on next, which country should we try to…

In my work I pay close attention to people’s beliefs and their self-talk. Often the beliefs were created around a trauma they experienced at some point in their life. This is a natural survival instinct, where the mind tries to make sense of what happened and to help us to avoid similar painful situations in…
