Spring Equinox Breathwork & Sound Bath

Who’s ready for Spring and all the fresh new energy it brings? I know I am! 

We’re in a time of major transition on our beautiful Mother Earth. With this important shift, I’ve been feeling the pull to invite my soul’s energy back into my physical body. We are being asked to more fully inhabit our bodies and allow a higher frequency to reside within. “As within, so without.” This is how we begin to create a vibration of harmony and peace that then becomes available to all around us.

In order to do so, it’s necessary to let go of the stored trauma and stuck emotions that keep us from reaching our highest potential. Even if we’re doing the work on a conscious level, which so many of us are, we need a way to clear this stuck energy on a deeper, soul level. It’s the perfect time with the Spring Equinox to shed the old programming and prepare ourselves for this powerful, new rebirth!

If you’re feeling this pull, Valerie Bachman and I invite you to join us on Sunday, March 20 on the Spring Equinox to take a deep, sacred dive into this work. Using the power of sound vibration and intentional breath, we will take our physical bodies on a journey where our souls are ready to go. Each individual’s process will be unique. And we will be there holding sacred space and guiding you every step of the way.

We will be gathering outside on the beautiful deck of Mandala Hills in SW Austin. (Address will be provided upon registration.)

2020 – It’s Not for the Faint of Heart. Are You Ready?

2020 is already shaping up to be a year full of shake-up’s and surprises. It’s up to us to find our anchor point, stay grounded, and ride the waves of change. We can be the calm in the storm. And…we can be the lightning bolt! Different situations will call for different actions. We will need to be courageous, and vulnerable. Be true to your inner compass and you’ll always know what to do.

I sat in silence on January 1st and asked for guidance for the coming year. This is what appeared:

My cards for 2020. 🌟🔮🌟

Master Jesus: Forgiveness. You are on the path of light, love and forgiveness. Father healing is possible at this time.
Golden Solar Dragon: Helps you stand in your masculine power with WISDOM. Let your DNA be reprogrammed and light codes activated. Become an inspired leader.
Share Your Voice: Come out of the cave. Persecution. Expression.

It feels like 2020 is a time to Heal the Patriarchy. With forgiveness, love, authenticity.

It’s time to free ourselves from past persecutions and shine in our fullest light. The world needs us. And the time is now.

Soul-Hive Sessions

Soul-Hive Sessions

Soul-Hive Sessions Flyer - generic location

 

Every Friday morning * 9:30-Noon * Austin TX * Starting January 2019

Learn who you REALLY are.

Remember your sovereignty.

Answer the question…WHAT AM I CALLED TO DO?

 

Let me give you a little back story here. For the past few years I have been receiving powerful messages, nudges and hard-to-ignore coincidences regarding Mary Magdalene. I have a deck of cards at home called Keepers of the Light. For the past year, almost every time I pull a card from here, it is this one:

MARY MAGDALENE

TEACHER AWAKENS

You have something important to share. Follow the inner call. Don’t let anything stop you.

I do have an inner call. It’s been there since I can remember, being reinforced more with every passing year. After becoming a Life Coach and a new mother, I heard a whisper in my ear that my company would be called “Soul-Hive” and my calling was crystalized: to bring seekers together and empower them, making the magical real, bridging the space between mystical and practical, and collectively raising the consciousness on this planet.

Since then, I’ve led retreats and workshops and had countless one on one sessions with seekers around the world. It’s all been delicious, and it’s all led me to this. An ongoing, in-person, divinely led, weekly series of Soul-Hive Sessions for women here in Austin.

20181104_140420

I have decided there are just too many juicy topics to cover in one stand alone workshop or weekend retreat. And for me, the only meaningful way to do this is by creating a container for us to come together face to face, heart to heart, with inspiring, open-minded people. A place where we can be curious, get raw and go deep, building a hive of sorts, buzzing with new ideas and collective shifts that benefit all.

If you’ve worked with me before, you know that we never know just where we’ll end up once we get started. So I am creating a container, a continuum of curiosity, so that we can build each week to the next. There’s sooooo much to talk about. Each week we’ll have a new topic/exercise/situation to examine. Some might appeal more than others. That’s natural. Come and go as you see fit. The idea here is to let your inner compass be your guide.

Community Healing Circle at Soma Vida

Community Healing Circle - Soma Vida - April 2018

Who’s ever walked into a room before and felt an instant icky feeling? Or felt absolutely drained after talking with a gloomy coworker? Conversely, have you ever had a conversation with someone for what you thought was about 10 minutes and you realize it was well over an hour? Where did that boost come from??

Saturday, April 7th at 6pm at Soma Vida, I’ll be presenting…

“Energy Vampires & Energy Angels – Understanding Effects of the Frequencies All Around Us”

This brief class will help you understand how the energy around us can physically affect our own, and what you can do to best manage it.

I’ll also be offering card readings after the presentation.

Join us for this and other in-depth opportunities to experience some excellent psychics and healers first hand. Suggested donation of $20+ grants you access to a 25 minute session with the healer of your choice. Proceeds benefit several local Austin nonprofits and charities.

The freedom, and capability, is in each of us…to transform.

explore life

Live life with the wonder of a child. Go explore!

simply. allow.

2016-04-02_09.22.23

Sometimes it feels like the hardest thing. But if you can…SIMPLY ALLOW.

No flower worries about what the flower next to it looks like. It just blooms in its own beautiful way. Simply ALLOW.

Trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, showing up exactly how you should, at exactly the right time. Allow yourself to bloom in YOUR own unique way. It’s the hardest, and easiest thing in the world. ♡

“Working Like A Dog” Maybe Ain’t So Bad

1443100516240-1-1I’m sure most of you have heard the expression “working like a dog” which probably conjures up the idea of someone slaving away, working long, tedious hours, feeling absolutely miserable. But have you ever actually watched a dog work? Maybe a sheep dog herding a flock? Or hounds on the chase of a scent? They are mad with excitement, going all out to accomplish their goal. They might technically be “working” but don’t tell them that. This type of work feels like play, and they can do it All. Day. Long. That is, until they completely collapse with exhaustion. That’s when the “rest” comes in; right up until they wake the next morning eager to do it all over again.

If we’re in our zone, staying present, we will only ever feel like we’re in one of these 2 states – Rest or Play. That’s why people say things like “Find something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” It doesn’t mean these people aren’t exerting incredible effort. It just means they are enjoying it. And just as important as feeling joy from your daily actions, is honoring your body when it tells you its had enough. This rest is essential. Without it, we wouldn’t be in any state to find joy.

So the next time you’re around a sheep dog, or a 2 year old for that matter, take some pointers because they get it. Play hard. Crash hard. Repeat.

Breastfeeding Bliss

BB projectIn the fog of early motherhood, I’m a little embarrassed to say how easy it was for me to get caught up checking my phone or watching some mindless tv while breastfeeding my son. It got to the point when he’d be finished feeding and I wouldn’t even realize it because I was engrossed in the latest FB feed.  At some point I remember having a real moment when I didn’t have any electronics around and instead just watched my son with my full attention while he was nursing.  It was magic. Pure magic. The way his hands moved.  The sweet sounds he would make. Watching his mouth move in perfect rhythm with each gulp. I grew more in love in that moment than I thought possible. It was pure bliss watching this miracle in my arms as I gave my precious baby every single thing he needed to thrive. I felt powerful and strong, with love overflowing…along with my milk, which came in stronger than ever.

From that moment, a little seed was planted within me.  I knew that I did not want to take this special time for granted any more. And I started thinking there are probably many women just like me who might be missing these precious moments in a similar sleep-deprived, overly stimulated state. That’s why, in honor of National Breastfeeding Month, I decided to create some tools to make it easier to keep this “Breastfeeding Bliss” alive and well. The health and emotional benefits for mama and baby are just too priceless to miss.

I have several tools – videos, apps, cards – that are in progress for all mamas, whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or simply feeding your baby the best way that you can. I am so passionate about this! I wish they were already finished. But I am a blissed-out mother of 2 small kiddos after all, so please be patient as I savor this super special time with them. I’ll squeeze in these important projects as quickly as I can. It’ll be worth the wait!

Sign up for my Soul-Hive newsletter to be the first to know once they’re finished, and to get some cool freebies.
