Welcome to February. Can we start the New Year now? I know I’m not the only one who watched January come and go, waiting patiently for that fresh bright New feeling that never came. I think it’s finally here. This morning clear sunlight spilled into the house, illuminating the dusty corners and brightening the translucent […]
In today’s podcast we talk about the lessons of 2015, our words and themes for 2016, and what’s coming in the New Year for Vivid!
Today’s podcast is a candid and casual conversation in which Annagrace and I talk about ourselves, how we met, the birth of Vivid, and what we are excited about in 2016!! Today is Annagrace’s birthday, so we thought it would be a great day to celebrate us and celebrate Vivid. Enjoy.
We’re going gently into the holidays this year, keeping our tender hearts open and stepping only as far into the fray as feels exciting and fun for us. At holiday time we feel the changes that the year has wrought, we feel them acutely. It’s wonderful to celebrate the year’s accomplishments, and enjoy the good […]
Vivid Conversations is back! Today Annagrace and Bronwyn talk about the holidays – how it really feels, what the holidays are like for those of us who survived childhood trauma, and what YOU can do to find the best and brightest in yourself this season.

As we explore the theme of Belonging this month, I share my reflections on the in-between space of menopause ~ no longer young, but definitely not elders yet… where do we belong? I view the change of menopause as an alchemical process, a soul transformation, a gateway of initiation into the deepest realms of feminine […]
The fog has rolled in and the ground is splattered with vivid colour as the leaves fall. My japanese maple is a furnace of red against the grey sky. I have honoured my ancestors these last few days, and I am ready to face into the winter. If we lived in a traditional subsistence culture, […]
Here in the North the season of dying back is upon us – the leaves are falling away and the trees and plants are going deep within, sending energy to their roots for the long winter’s process of repair and new growth beneath the surface. The rains are coming to nourish those roots, the low […]
A Nourished Menopause: Cherish, nurse, and flow. As women, we give a lot of superficial thought to nourishment. We are often the ones responsible for the nourishment of our families. We shop for and prepare the food, we make decisions about the health of our families and our elders,and even our pets. we often know […]
Thank you Bronwyn for such a fulfilling retreat! The venue was awesome, a fantastic way to experience your leadership and retreat activities. Meeting women who are also experiencing the change and sharing with them was very inspiring. We have experienced great new friendships in this retreat and they are friendships that will last the rest of our lives. I am looking forward to the next one. Thank you for all of your knowledge and love!
