being in sync

Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman released a new episode on the Shamans Cave, Keeping Pace with the Seasons - how we can align our energetic phases with nature to be in natures’ flow instead of living against its flow. Perfect timing as we're winding down for 2022 and looking forward to 2023.

Humans and nature were meant to live in harmony - together and linked, not separate. If we follow our true identity as a nature being then attention to the changing phases and cycles of nature keeps us better in sync.

warm island seas

wonder | wander | women have not been back to the island of our birth since prior to the pandemic. Now that our tickets are booked for our imminent return, we are eager and excited to get back. Aside from family and friends, we miss our warm lush ocean, teeming with tropical delights.

Both to embrace in wanton abandon and to eat to our hearts content. They say we don't fully appreciate home until we leave it. Our heritage and history were something we lived daily and ignored most of the time.

Now that we have moved away, when we are in the UK and US, we miss the delicacies and treats of the Philippines. Then when we're back there we miss the comforts and conveniences we have over here.

ingesting & digesting

The holidays are here - with feasting at its most stratospheric levels for the whole year. Instead of troubling over how much we are eating - how about focusing on a more purposeful and conscious approach to nurturing ourselves?

All too easily we get so caught up in the chaotic preparations and expected festivities. Do we even pause to think about what it is we would rather do for ourselves?
