There are connections to the Green Fire energy of Spring too. I do hope you enjoy the s...

In this late winter/early Spring offering, I explore the importance of sacred relationships with our allies (seen and unseen) in supporting and guiding us through fragile spaces. These spaces are both within us and around us. Contemplation and rest, stepping back, observing are all key aspects of this. We need fallow times to process. We need to honour and love the fragility of life, in order to d...
