Here is some sensual juiciness for your Sunday night – Enjoy our Inhabit playlist and Pinterest board!
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 […]
On Tuesday morning, after several days of rain, I woke to sunshine and the sounds of birds. The weather had shifted. There wasn’t the heat or angle of summer anymore.

Love, Love, Loved the Course! It was a coming home for me as I was guided gently in connecting with myself as an elder woman. The wonderful language used in the course around menopause was positive, empowering, hopeful, insightful, spiritual and freeing. The creative focus in its experiential processes really opened opportunities to explore deeply the true essence of being a menopausal woman. Importantly, the online support was an integral part of the process for me. The feedback from the other wise women gave insightful gifts of understanding that moved me into new places of being in my menopausal understanding. At times it was difficult to explore deeply the aspects of the changing body, soul and spirit of my aging self and the other women gently held me on my journey.
