SacredSpace: Openhearted Presence with Transformation
|
Dear Reader, Welcome to SacredSpace! It's been a while since I last wrote! Grateful to connect in this New Year. Sending each of your care and openhearted presence for all that is moving through in these winter days. Below you will find: With love, Noelle QUOTE GUIDING REFLECTION A RITUAL for TRANSFORMATION MY JOURNEY ‘My journey’ shares some of my practice creating sacred space in my everyday life. In sharing aspects of my intimate, inner world, my hope is to support you in connecting with the vulnerable, sometimes hidden spaces within your own being. ** My experience of motherhood is a process of constant renewal, surrender, and being alive to the sacred river of aliveness, of transformation & flow. Both the mundane and epic transitions of motherhood continue to teach me about the practice of presence and loving fiercely, all the while surrendering and letting go. It also reminds me how to be present for someone else's transformations with an open heart and care, not boxing them into who they were, based on my needs. We are ever-changing. Our world is ever-changing. When I am attuned to this impermanence - it can feel tender, fragile, painful, beautiful and always grounds me in the preciousness of this very moment. We hold onto moments, beliefs, patterns, careers, relationships, identities - but in reality - this is all in flux - just like a growing child.
We belong to the universe and its kaleidoscope of shifting geometries. Sometimes I forget to pay attention: I come back to ritual, nature, meditation & healing community to bring me home. This helps me feel more restful with whatever it is I am moving through. I respond & make choices with greater intuition, creativity and trust. From the most intimate personal moments, to how I am engaging with the larger societal and planetary shifts. Perhaps the intimate and planetary are more connected that I even realize. :) May these words and reflections support you, as you transition in all the small ways we all do each day & as we usher in visions of a new world. UPDATES Here are some photos from fall gatherings, rituals and performances: each brought folks together in community, creativity, ritual and sacred connection - to support us in these times of great threshold. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in organizing collective SacredSpaces for your your organization, your community space or family. I am here to support! (Still getting the SacredSpace website together - which will share more specific offerings)
