For most of us, for all of our adult lives, we have experienced the rhythmic monthly cycling of our bodies. The cycles of our bodies are mirrored by the cycles of the moon. Sometimes our cycles even align with the moon cycles. I know that I have taken comfort in this reflection of my own […]
Patience by Mary Oliver What is the good life now?

This week’s conversation is about connection – to natural cycles, to ourselves, and to our bodies. How can our daily practices help to soothe our sense of disconnection and begin to bring us home to our bodies?
What does it really mean to come home to your body? This question has guided much of my work over the last twenty years. I was a child of trauma, and learned at an early age that my body was not always a safe place to be. I developed coping strategies that allowed me to […]

Yellow finches sat in the tops of the tall orange cosmos flowers, which are daily forming seed heads. The purple hollyhocks, red Echinacea and tiny, […]
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!
