Moondance Wellness Coaching with Angela Kittock

So which of these 'wisdom-producing' practices has this global pandemic forced you to experience - maybe even appreciate?! Do you find yourself slowing down more lately? Staying grounded in one place? Appreciating your quiet time? Practicing - by force or by choice - the art of surrendering control? Is it possible this global pandemic has the ability to make us all more wise, self-aware, and conte...

2020 is definitely a year of changes, and it can be about starting over in a fresh new way. This can be an exciting time that feels good with the promise of a new world on the horizon. We can learn to break the cycle of disconnection, destruction, and division that tears at our personal and worldly relationships by bypassing 'otherness' and tapping into an empowering empathy. It's time to throw ou...

My husband and I exist in very different experiences of the world. I'm a personal growth coach into healing and spirituality, and he's a police officer who has to deal with some pretty scary situations and interact with people who aren't always pleased to see him. Truly we don't always see eye to eye as our world experiences have shaped us so differently. One day a couple months ago, exhausted aft...

When I wanted to change my life for the better, I asked for one thing: to feel a sense of peace and ease.   But I’m going to bring you in on a little secret: Peace and ease are NOT dependent on your external circumstances. You can change the container you're in hoping that you'll feel differently on the inside  - and you will feel better temporarily! But if your sense of peace and ease is based en...

As we continue to plod our way through this challenging time, perhaps you’re coming to the realization that things will never be exactly the same. I, for one, am ecstatic. A crisis is a call to change and there IS a big change long overdue in our world and in our selves. Continuing to explore the tools, practices & mindsets that can help us through this time, today I present to you The Great Imbal...

When you feel powerless to change what is happening, it can be helpful to remember the idea that: it’s not always about changing your life, sometimes it’s about changing the way you experience your life. Here’s to making peace with the present moment AND letting the process shake you back alive.   Soul Health Empowerment Coaching: moondancecoaching.com Get the Moondance Newsletter to stay in the k...

In the wake of social distancing and self-quarantining, I’ve been thinking… that perhaps it's time to venture INSIDE in MORE ways than one... Never will there be a more perfect or necessary time than now to explore your INNER WORLD. Our outer world may be shut down, but your inner world is wide open for business! Discomfort is the container for growth. What is one brave change you could make insid...

There is a spiritual and psychological concept that says that all human emotions can be distilled down into two base categories – fear or love. Though we can feel quite powerless during this time of immense worldly fears, it is helpful to know that we always have a choice. The power to respond a certain way is always in our hands. And in this choice lies our true power and freedom. What are you al...

I'm back from the dead (of winter)! After a bit of a hiatus I'm excited to share what I've been up to and what's in store for you and Moondance in 2020. Big themes for this year...ALIGN and HEAL. And it all kicks off with the Spring Equinox (or what I like to call "Nature's New Year") in mid-March!

Though the Winter Solstice marks the shortest period of sunlight and the longest period of darkness of the entire year, it has always been a time for celebrating LIGHT. That's right, from this point forward the days get longer and the nights get shorter. The only rules for celebrating this festive time? Conjure up some warmth and light! Dec 21 - Winter Solstice Candlelight Hygge Tea Ceremony: moon...

Midwesterners (or anyone who's ever lived in or visited a cold climate) - this one's for you! Hygge experts agree, hygge is less of an easily definable concept and more of a feeling, perhaps even an emotion. I like to think of it as “the art of coziness.” This is the stuff that’s good for the soul. Winter Solstice Candlelight Hygge Tea Ceremony: moondancecoaching.com/events

What if it doesn't have to be the end of the magic? What if adulthood isn't a curse that casts out all feelings of whimsy and wonder? What if there's a way to still experience the childlike wonder of the holidays even as a - gasp! - mature adult. Learn to slow down and listen to your soul as a path back to the magic of the holiday season. moondancecoaching.com/events moondancecoaching.com/coaching

Calendar calendar on the wall, who’s the dreariest of them all? Although November arrives in one pretty ugly package, it comes bearing some vitally important gifts. So no matter what your fall season looks like right now, let’s explore this magic that exists just below the surface. Workshops + Coaching + Testimonials at moondancecoaching.com

The Staycation feels like a lost and forgotten art. Gobbled up by our go-go-go culture, we seem to apply the busyness mentality of “doing” to our vacations, weekends, days off and downtime. So here’s the list we all need instead: 8 Excellent Ways to Do (Almost) Nothing.  moondancecoaching.com

There is something magical about fall: the crispness, the crunchiness, yes – the pumpkin-spice everything-ness. And the colors. OH the colors. Aside from the ciders and the bonfires and the scarves, there’s something else I’ve always loved about fall. It’s the FEELING of fall. This is a season that asks us to do what is often the hardest thing to do: Slow Down + Rest. Set Up Your Free Intro Call:...

Confused about September’s hot/cold – summer/fall indecisiveness? Turns out, it can be categorized as it’s own separate season w/an agenda all it’s own. Seeming to do whatever it darn well pleases, September can represent the wild soul that lives inside each and every one of us. The part that is uniquely you, won't be boxed in - and knows exactly what you need to do to make yourself utterly, joyfu...

Does the idea of meditating make you laugh - or scream, or cry, or want to run away? Is it a practice in finding inner peace, or just a practice in pure frustration? For a long time, I felt the same way. This episode is about my own journey from hating meditation to understanding how to make it work for me. And if you’ve got a busy mind or a painful body, I think you’ll be able to relate. Meditati...

The end of summer is busy enough; trying to add one more thing to do - even if that thing is self-care - can seem impossible! A friend once asked me for my one single most important piece of self-care advice. Here's that, plus four more simple self-care tips - easy enough to implement right now - to wrap up your summer with a much-needed dose of replenishment. For the info on iced tulsi tea + yin...

We don’t get to a true experience of our light until we’ve been through the dark. And from what I’ve been hearing it sounds like this was a summer that acquainted many of us with our darkness. So, in the spirit of authenticity and confronting the uncomfortable in the name of growth - let’s shed some light on this darkness. Fall Class & Workshop info: moondancecoaching.com/events

August is a time of heat (too much?), joy (too little?), and - the fire element. And whether the heat is making us batty or we’ve lost our connection to our joy – the energetic prescription is the same: balance the Heart Meridian.  Remember the idea of mindfulness – paying attention – and you will begin to find that you can feed yourself with small ongoing doses of pure and honest joy. For info on...

On today’s episode we explore that elusive idea of finding balance in the summertime. Summer is hot, bright, fast, light and expansive. We get busy out of the gate, and then we just seem to get busier! But a key step towards personal growth is taking care that we don’t run ourselves dry. So we ask ourselves: How DO we find balance?

While the Full Moon gets all the attention, the New Moon is actually a very powerful time for setting intentions. Instead of waiting for the New Year to roll around, the New Moon gives us a monthly reminder to check in with ourselves and get clear on what it is we really want. A New Moon symbolizes a new beginning; so take advantage of this time to reinvent yourself and start afresh. For a visual...

The environment around us can often affect how we feel on the inside - a messy house can sometimes make us feel more chaotic and strung out. On today’s episode, we explore the positive side of that, how the abundance that surrounds us every spring and summer can help to create that same feeling of abundance WITHIN us. THIS is a journey through six senses. For Summer Solstice workshop info: moondan...

On the heels of late spring’s amazing display of nature’s abundance, today’s episode explores the idea of physical vs. spiritual abundance. And while having money and material abundance isn’t inherently bad, the question is…is it enough? How do we counteract our spiritual poverty and cultivate a “spirit of abundance” in a world that constantly leaves us feeling that something is lacking? For event...
