This is for the one who is estranged from their old reality

We start each edition with an offering for the senses that guide us.

the Cancer nu moon on July 14th may have brought up themes, feelings, in-body noticings and endings around the themes of

motherhood • emotional bonds and patterns • inner listening, inner trust • family • wounds • healing • water • intuitive womb work

:: this edition is intuitively guided and conscious of these themes

a collection of resources intuitively layered into this edition. archived for you to take what speaks to you::

The next somatic virtual gathering will be held on Sunday July 26th. Feel free to read more about this monthly practice, tap in with your inner listening and join us if it lines up.

we’ll be focusing on releasing tight fascia around the neck, shoulder, and chest region, a tightness some of us may know too well if you’re used to carry a heavy load in silence. i will be using my somatic nervous system regulation training to guide us to paying closer attention to this part of the body as we release emotional and physical tightness and sit in company to discuss what is on our hearts and minds.

attendees should bring along a yoga mat or something comfy to lie on, cushions, a blanket, tea (the recipe will be sent this week), and something to take notes with. tickets are pay-what-you-can and we’ll be gathering on Sunday 26th July 7pm - 8.30pm BST/ 2pm -3.30pm EDT.

a message for the collective ꩜🪞 a space to see, feel, notice::

today’s message is an instruction for holding. with this nu moon falling within a mercury retrograde in Cancer, some may feel that it lands in body similar to a full moon and may be emotionally intense. the message for us is to commit to our holding.

carve out some time to feel the comfort of your own unending holding — a willingness to hug yourself through what you’re moving through.

feel free to pair this invitation to self-holding with affirmations held inside of yourself

inhale — i AM fully held

exhale — it is always so

thank you for reading this edition of Mindful RISE ((There Is Another Way)). i approach the page intuitively and it seems the theme of this edition is holding. i would love to know what resonated most for you.

what will you build now

you have reached the end of what you’ve just moved through?
