“To protect what is wild is to protect
what is gentle.
Perhaps the wildness we fear is the pause between our own heart beats,
the silent space that says we live
only by grace.
Wildness, wilderness lives by
this same grace,
wild mercy is in our hands.
Let this be our prayer, reimagined.”
-Terry Tempest Williams

Healing Our Healers
Self-care is never a selfish act. It is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others.

Private groups scheduled upon request.
The most subversive invitation you could ever accept is the invitation to awaken to who you are and where you have landed...
When your soul awakens, you begin to truly inherit your life. You leave the kingdom of fake surfaces, repetitive talk and weary roles and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are and who you are called to become... You begin to trust the music of your own soul; you have inherited treasure
that no one will ever be able to take from you.
~John O’Donohue
