Gratitudes

This work was birthed out of the generosity of many human hearts who have truly shown up for me–just as I am–within my creative journey. You have shown me the patience, grace and love a soul can only long and hope to experience within a lifetime. I have found myself in a deep transformative metamorphosis, wrapped up within a collective one. What I have learned in this time is that struggle is not as necessary as I once thought it to be.

Through a gathering of the kind of unconditional support from women I have never truly known until this point, I have found my way home. But not without the willingness to ‘go there’ to the deepest parts of myself fi rst, and to be willing to let go of how I thought myself to be within an instant. I have started celebrating the ability to drop it all for a midday swim or nap, to not make anything more important than the callings of my own heart. Directioning my heart in this way has seen much unraveling, tears and newfound joys. It’s almost as if I am fi nding myself in a new body, in a completely new reality from a sense of truly lightening up toward myself. Whatever happens within, cannot help but also happen without.

I have realised my fear of true deep connection is my own, this fear being the only thing that repeats the narrative and patterning of not feeling truly seen or heard by others. It is the time

for us all to step up into the wild callings of the heart and to call in the cushioning support of our community.

Thank you to you, the reader, the deep seeker and revolutionary. I have heard that grief occurs when love has no place to go. You give me the landing place for my love to fl ow, and for that I can never be more thankful. We are never alone in this journey, and I hope that the content within this course has spoken to parts of your soul, held space for your wounds and helped mend the most tender parts of you. I can never thank you enough for picking up this work and fi nding a place for it within your heart and home.

To my growing little family, Matt and our lovefi lled fur children Sadie and Dallas, thank you for holding so much space for all of my 6x Scorpio depth, intensity and wild passion. It was a true jackpot, fi nding you–so unwaveringly loving as I constantly shed skin and soften into new

ways of being. You have taught me the healing power in true reciprocity, of having my deepest most uninhibited expression refl ected back and accepted graciously.

To the women who walk alongside me, teaching me again and again to trust in the bigness of my own heart. Kate, Phoebe, Emma, Keelin, Sophie, Jane and so many others. I love to think that you know who you are. Thank you. I dare you to discover the magic that is already inside of you. You are powerful beyond measure. You do not need to be scared of what you truly are anymore.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

–this is my offering back to creation, and back to you.
