Part of any pilgrimage or vision quest is not just about what shows up, but about the returning. Considering how to implement the wisdom and medicine of the experiences and emerging stories after walking out of one life across a threshold into another - there is no turning back.

When the realisation that control and free-will are the same, and both are an illusion, finally hits your core … dealing with self-created disappointment, before being able to see the incredulous synchronistic path being laid out … that that no human hand could arrange. Being open to magic, even when it’s challenging ... As I sat by the river telling my story, a huge salmon leapt out of the river. And so my relationship with Salmon has changed … Salmon has become an ally, framing perfectly these past years of that transition from perceived struggle to grace.

“Embrace
dissolution and
walk the salten way

My Heart home.
Promises were made to return.
Promises became contracts concentrated in my cells, radiating through my blood.

A poem … subtitled, ‘Message from a Collarbone’ ! And came through an embodied writing exercise I share in the ‘Powering up from Within’ course.

Journalling and working with awareness is a really good way to keep track of our progress, as well as enhance and develop new skills. In the experiences that I share above my intention to record, remember or focus though journalling has helped me develop skills where I no longer need to journal … yet it was journalling that helped me develop them.

Setting an intention can bring focus and a guiding light. It can also help keep track of your progress, to find delight in the unexpected, fruitful, twists and turns of your journey.

Willow is sister of the moon, full of feminine grace and power. We were working with her as she rose to meet the masculine and showed herself to be a Triple Being. Known for her femininity, grace and flexible ability to bow to the wind. As a deeply rooted being, withstanding the storms of life.

This I feel is our task for ourselves and each other now. I feel that we are being called to Midwife the birth of something new. Let us recognise the fragility of these times and be gentle with ourselves and each other.
