Our next circle is coming up soon and we will be celebrating and connecting and meeting each other wherever we are, just as we are.
🌕
Summer Solstice in the Northern hemisphere is coming up and it’s the longest day of light, during this past year when so much darkness has come to light, when the heaviness of the world has left you feeling helpless, hopeless or in despair. We can forget that we’re not supposed to do this alone. This life, these hard things, even raising a child was meant to do with a whole village. But we have been more isolated than ever this year, and now with the vaccine there has been new hope and new openings. Literally we have been able to come out of our shelter, we have been able to socialize again, and while it can feel liberating and joyful it’s also ok if it’s hard and anxiety producing. Our nervous systems are just trying to adjust to a new normal of what is safe.
🌕
These circles are meant to be connection points for you to come back to center. To feel your feet planted on the earth and ground no matter what is going on around you. To take care to replenish yourself before you pour your energy into everyone and everything else. To remember who you were before the world told you who you should be. To come just as you are. To share what’s on your heart if you feel moved or listen without trying to fix.
We build our immunity in community, if any of this resonates for you- join us in circle. You are welcome to bring a sister/friend as a gift just ask me when you register in the link in my bio, and I’ll send you the password for them.

🌕This months circle is coming up on Wednesday, at 8pm EST🌕
Link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

As usual there will be space be with whatever is coming up for you, and while you’re always invited to share, you never have to. You will be guided by me to connect to your innate wisdom and brilliance to receive exactly what you need to be supported this month. I’m a coach with fifteen years of experience, leading circles and guiding womxn to reclaim the fullness of who they are before the world tried to tell them who they should be.

🌕

I felt called to change THE Fullness Circle to OUR Fullness Circle because when you find the safe place to land and connect with other female identifying folks, it’s important that you know this isn’t any old circle. It becomes your circle of people. It becomes the well we keep agreeing to gather at from month to month to replenish and fill ourselves up. It is where we have full permission to show up exactly as we are without apology. Where we slow down to check in with ourselves and each other. Where we pause to check in with our hearts before rushing into our usual mind based planning.

🌕

If you never attended a circle before and want to know what they’re like, message me and I’d be happy to share with you so you can see if you vibe with me and if our circle is for you.

This was the mantra of a meditation practice I was led into, on a presencing practice where for each breath we say each word. “I am here now in this.” There is no pausing between breaths, just a continual cycle of in and out. Observing mind and body. Today I drew it. This reminder to stay in this. Whatever THIS is- however this shows up today.

✨
This tightness, this clenching, this holding- without trying to label it or name it or make up stories about it.
✨
This opening, this tingling. This heat.
✨
What happens when we can stay with this without trying to run from it. Without trying to fight it? Just being with the sensations like we are holding hands with a toddler who is pointing and wanting our attention. Showing us that where attention goes energy flows. Where attention goes, intention follows.
✨
What happens when you say these words aloud to yourself?

Here’s my next offering coming up for you all. I’ll save you a seat at my virtual circle for the Spring Equinox.
🌸
The equinox is a powerful time of year to mindfully pause and choose what seeds you want to plant for the coming year.
🌸
As we learn to use our inner wisdom to listen, and feel into the questions emerging we can align with the earth’s natural cycles to find our own rhythm. We can see where we might be pressuring ourselves when we’re not ready; We can feel into what is blossoming and blooming; and what is still in the resting phases and what needs composting. We can feel into what is out of balance and what support we need so we can stay in alignment with ourselves.
🌸
Hope you can join us for this ritual playshop. Once you sign up with your PayPal donation I’ll send you all the details!

Happy international womxn’s day.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Today I’m thinking of the courage of Meghan Markle to speak her truth last night and not be silenced or shamed. I’m thinking of the first female American Vice President Kamala Harris, of the power of Nobel Peace Prize winner Stacey Abrams who did something about voter suppression in Georgia , of Jacinda Ardern NZ Prime Minister breastfeeding her child at the UN, of Christine Blasey Ford’s courage, of the womxn on the frontlines of the protests in Myanmar, of all the womxn who have stepped up to let their voices be heard, to be the firsts so that little ones can look up them as examples of what it’s like to leading and living with authenticity, courage, vulnerability and fierce determination. To do the unimaginable so that it could be imagined by others. Thank you!

Ma Kyal Sin was 18 years old when she was murdered on the streets of Myanmar as she protested with thousands of others.
✨
She wore a black T-shirt that day that read “Everything is going to be okay.” 😢
✨
The women in Myanmar are leading the protests and putting their lives on the line for future generations. They are the brave warriors of this movement.
✨💫
Ma Kyal Sin would tell her friends “if you see a star think of me” so tonight when you gaze up at the sky, think of your own freedom, even during a pandemic- celebrate your rights and use your voice to help elevate others voices who no one is listening to.

I had this experience last week. It was the first time in a store in a very long time. I was with my son. He was in the stroller and a woman approached us. I was cornered and couldn’t easily move out of the way. She was remarking how cute he was and also asking what nationality I am and how all her doctors are Jewish-🤷🏻‍♀️and although she seemed harmless she was also getting a little too close for comfort. At one point she stood in front of the stroller and pulled down her mask so my son could see her smiling...
✨
And I noticed that my default nervous system response was not to say -“move back!”, “back off!” (Fight) Or to step further away (flight) it was to be frozen there in place.
✨
I learned how fawning is another social nervous system response, a way that we try to appease, how some of us want to seem nice(so we don’t get attacked)- and that was also my worry- what to say so I wouldn’t seem like a “bitch” (a word I never use to talk about others And cringe when I hear) but I was so annoyed at myself because I am now a mama who wants to be able to stand up for and protect my little guy. And the paralysis is real!
✨
I’ve been working on regulating my nervous system with amazing tools and therapists like breath work, kundalini, somatic experiencing- which are all helping but I just wanted you to know that I’m still learning. And what if it’s ok for you to fumble? To not always “get it right?”
✨
Give yourself permission to practice setting boundaries and being uncomfortable because that is how we grow. It’s never going to be easy but it will get easier.
✨
Remember we’re in a global pandemic and you’re doing the best you can. 💓
✨
What if we can practice being in the in between space of FIERCE KINDNESS?- we don’t have to be all fierce and have rigid boundaries that act like walls, and we also don’t have to be like sponges taking in everyone else’s s**t. We can be fierce and kind at the same time, we can say please, we can assert our needs while still staying true to ourselves.
✨
I would love to hear how this lands for you and where you’ve been challenged when it comes to saying no or setting a boundary? What have you said to strangers invading your space?

It’s validating to know that just like adolescence has a name and stage and principles that follow that developmental period- symptoms like acne and wanting to differentiate from our parents and find ourselves.. Matrescence is also a stage of development as we transition into becoming mothers.
✨
It’s a total identity shift, a time of transition we need to honor instead of just focusing on the new life a baby brings- we also need to adjust to our own new lives and identity shifts.

✨ honour wherever you are on the path
✨stop comparing or wondering how you’ve fallen short- know that good enough is better than perfect and that kids actually benefit from seeing you making mistakes (if you can admit to them 😜) they learn they can make mistakes and be imperfect and be loved too.
✨whatever triggers you in your own parents/caretakers is a sign of what you don’t want to repeat. Make it conscious- do the work you need to untangle so you can parent differently as you choose to take what works and toss what doesn’t work for you.
✨your attention will be split and what if that’s ok? Don’t expect to have the same relationship to time as you once did. You’ve entered Ed a new matrix and it constantly reminds you to be present with what is.
✨there is the fantasy of what you expected- the hopes and projections and there’s the reality- a chaotic beautiful life that’s messy and reminding yourself if won’t always be this way. 😝
✨how can you hold both as true? It’s about being in the paradox, the capacity to be in uncertainty, release control, the superpower of being in the both exhausting and exhilarating ride- both can be true.

Curious what lands for you here? What if you could give yourself permission to be imperfect and make mistakes as you go?

I am so grateful for being a space holder. A witness to people’s process and pain. I am so grateful for those mamas who showed up and made space for themselves- I know this is no easy task, and it is in itself such a practice of self love to ask and claim that space. 💓🙏🏻
✨
One of the teachings I shared was from that “we think our job as humans is to avoid pain, our job as parents is to protect our children from pain? And our job as friends is to fix each others pain. Maybe that’s why we all fell like failures so often- because we all have the wrong job description of love. People who are hurting don’t need Avoiders, protectors or fixers. What we need are patient loving witnesses. People who sit quietly and hold space for us. People to stand in the helpless vigil of our pain.”
✨
Stay tuned for more offerings. The feedback was that more people need the space to release, let go, be seen, be heard and alchemize it all into self compassion, self forgiveness and self love. So I’m going to keep offering this Be:loved circle for those who need it. It will be free for BIPOC folks and by suggested donation for everyone else.

02/05/2021

Looking forward to leading those who feel called to this circle.💓

✨I’m noticing we need to learn how to have more self compassion than ever right now- for wherever we are. Just as we tell children, “sweetie you’re doing the best you can.” We need to apply the self love balm to ourselves. We need to learn how to mother ourselves (no matter what relation you had to your own) it’s the act of taking care to tend to our selves just as we are.
✨
We are doing our best during a pandemic. There is so much we have lost and are grieving at this time- even if it sounds mundane or silly to say we miss gathering in people’s homes, we grieve meetup groups and grandparents holding our children and being held by those we love. Yes people are suffering and dying and experiencing other forms of grief, and it’s not to take away from that but to say “yes and”- that your grief is also important to tend to and honour. As well as honouring and being proud of how you’ve shown up during this challenging year. To look at all that you can be proud of.
✨
Going to go get my babe who just woke from his nap so this will be continued. Just wasted to put it out there for those who need this 💓

01/27/2021

We gather in circle tomorrow evening on the full moon- Thursday 8pm EST to connect, to breathe, to hold each other. To show up exactly as we are, unapologetically, wholly, to remember who we were before we became who were supposed to be. If you feel called to connect, come. Bring a fellow spirit sister/friend- we will be connecting to the energy of the Cosmic Mother who holds us in her loving arms, hands on our cheeks, wiping away tears, dusting us off from our falls, cradling us in her big lap. When you imagine this Great Mother what do you see? What images help you connect to this all loving compassion?

Since Covid I’ve been part of a sister circle. We started by reading the Artists Way- a book by Julia Cameron that I read fifteen years before but never in a group.
✨
We were meant to start earlier but somehow the timing didn’t workout until we were all under lockdown. Which was the greatest blessing- that and being able to care for my son have been my saving grace during this time.
✨
With these 8 other women, we became a sisterhood- encouraging each other to create, to express, to make. And out of that inspiration came a new expression in my art- these round beautiful women, these child like expressions full of colour and vivid that had something to say.
✨
As part of the artist way practice, we wrote every morning three long form pages just letting out whatever is on our mind and heart- and let it all out without a filter. Without worrying who is going to see it or judge it. And out of that wellspring of expression we are free and I found that in those moments a flow came through- I wrote poems, drew, created and felt like something had been unleashed.
✨
Witnessed by this special coven of women, all of us different, many of us strangers before but now truly connected for life.
✨
This is one of the things I heard in my morning page like a dictation I wrote down from the universe-“take the first step in faith, and I’ll hold your hand the rest of the way there.” Knowing this calms me. Remembering the baby steps. Remembering that by watching my son taking his first steps- it was not a race, it was slow and persistent effort, lots of tumbles and tries until one day without any help- there he was amazed at himself.
✨
Sometimes I want to be there already- to rush to the finish line & then I remember the finish line will always keep moving along and I just need to get to the next water break station. (Clearly I’ve never run a marathon because I don’t know the right terms 🤪 but hope you’re following nonetheless).
✨
I’m working on a creative circle for mamas. This idea has been seeding since he was born but feels more important now than ever- as we’ve all been isolated at a time when we need more togetherness.PM me if you want to be part of it and stay tuned!!💕

🌕The theme for our fullness circle this month is about nurturance. 🌕

It seems fitting since this was the month I weaned from breastfeeding and my older sister gave birth so I have a new little niece! 👶🏻😍
🤱🏻👩🏾‍🍼🤰🏽
✨

Like milk is the sustenance and nourishment babies need to grow into who they are becoming- we need our own nourishment that can sustain the seeds and projects we want to birth into this world.
✨
Whether you identify as a mother, daughter, sister, niece doesn’t matter but we will be exploring your relationship to what I call the Great Mother- (you can call it what you will- the Creator, universe- whatever you personally relate to that magical mysterious power that guides your every breath and heartbeat.)

✨
This full moon circle will take place on January 28th 8pm EST if you’re not already in my inner circle you can sign up in the link in my bio to get all the info for how to join the call.

This has been a time of transition. Of remembering that being a parent means I am constantly practicing letting go. Every new beginning, every new tooth, new step is a celebration and a grief of his former self. I am witnessing his constant becoming. I am entering a new phase of weaning, of coming back into the sovereignty of my own body again. I am reminding myself to stay rooted, to be in flow, to know that I am in flux, I am ebbing and becoming too. As we celebrate each new mile stone we also mourn the stones that brought us here. I am looking to the well of ritual and am grateful for my Jewish lineage that is so rich in metaphor and ritual to guide me through this transition. I have found prayers I didn’t even know existed. I have found that another name for God is El Shaddai which can mean, the breasted one. Imagining being nourished and held by the goddess, rocking in her big loving arms.

Reminder: we gather tomorrow night for the Fullness Circle. You can save your spot under the full moon and stars through the link in my bio. I’ll send you all the details on how to participate, share and prepare for our circle. This months theme will help prepare us for the transition into the dark winter and since the holidays also mean more alone time with family, we’ll also be talking about boundaries. Hope you can join us!

[quote reads: “it is enlightened self interest to be selfish enough to be self-protective. Being self protective may not seem NICE [but]... being nice is not nearly as important as being AUTHENTIC.”
💓
This quote was written by in her book “walking in the world” the sequel to “the artists way” which I feel sooo blessed to be doing with a special coven of eight other women throughout this pandemic. Creativity has been my saviour. Creating is the opposite of dying. It gives us the capacity to engage with life and feel a part of it all.
When I first read this, it resonated with me so deeply. As the youngest of four daughters I was taught that other people’s needs came before mine. I saw my mother make my father’s coffee while hers got cold. I saw her prepare him lunches when he came into the kitchen hungry, while ignoring her own hunger. She would give the clothes off her back for friends in need while she sat shivering.
Sitting with countless broken souls in her kitchen. Every contractor or painter that came to our house ended up having coffee with her and sharing their life story and tears while she listened. Even if that meant they didn’t always finish the job. 😝
The neighborhood women would come for free “therapy” with my mom, who always left her door open. She was never too busy for a listening ear, a word of advice but it was never reciprocal. They just took and took and she gave ans gave.
She told me that my grandmother, who I never met because she died of a heart attack at 65, died of a broken heart- having given to everyone else and neglecting herself. I asked if that sounded familiar. “Yes but it is my nature. I can’t change who I am.”
We are trained to serve as women from the patriarchal system we are brought up with to be the good, nice daughters and the dutiful wives, and yet we’re told it’s just our “nature.” That’s how they keep us in our place, under their thumb. they make us think it’s selfish to be anything other than the giver.

11/19/2020

Join me for me for our next Fullness Circle coming up! We will explore the descent, the transition into darkness, the myth of Persephone, the story between stories and meeting uncertainty. The boundaries we need to claim and hold so we can create space for ourselves. I will teach, hold a sacred container and allow for the mystery and whatever wants to emerge to be revealed. Trust if you feel called to attend. Come open minded and open hearted. Come to connect to your inner guidance and wisdom, come to connect to a wise sisterhood and community. Come just as you are, with the fullness that you are. Expect magic and mystery, and leave expectations at the door. Come into the circle of trees deep in the forest, sit with us by the fire 🔥 and claim the seat that I have saved just for you. If you feel called, Say yes.

03/25/2020

I talk about how our challenges can also be our gifts, and what this strange blip in time can teach us about self care, presence and letting go of productivity as sign of self worth.

I used to think I wanted more conviction but then I reflected on what it actually meant and why I wanted it...and here's what I discovered.
I'd love to hear what resonates for you here.
