 Oh my! What an amazing time we had in Client session painting with our feet! There is something very powerful that gets activated when you let go of the brush and use your body to communicate with the canvas. For us, adding the imprints of the feet to our work bought in a deeper feeling of play and spontaneity. We activated our Muse, we got out of our heads and moved fully into the body.  By letting the 'sole' speak on the canvas we gained a deeper connection to our 'soul'.
It helped us to view how we were walking in the world and gain an understanding of what needed to be changed to stand more fully in our power. Looking for something fun to do? Why not give it a go! I would love to see your body part creations and hear your insights. Please post them below and share with us :)

 What a magical experience it was to tie the Red Thread at Avebury. We went to visit our grandchild in Devizes and on the way back, decided to drop in and take a walk round the Avebury Stone Circle. I'm there once a year currently with Priestess Presence in ceremony and my husband and I visit there often. I feel a deep connection to the stones and the land there. Oh, the pub is pretty good too!  After a short walk, we headed on up to the four majestic beech trees that stand to the far right of this ring. They are covered in ribbons tied to the branches and root system. These ribbons represent prayers and wishes to the spirits in the trees or for loved ones and you can really feel the magic flowing around the area.  Three years ago was my first meeting with these trees and I tied a thread of sheep's wool to them for blessings for my family. This years visit was to wind in blessings to and from all the circles of sisters that I am part of. I used one of the Red threads from a recent circle already tied to my wrist with the intention of rooting us below so we may reach to the above stable, grounded, connected.  It was such a deeply powerful experience to then spend time with the trees lying on my back. The breeze was gentle and I felt very comforted and protected in the safety of their roots, deepening my intention for all sisters to feel this level of support whatever circle they do or don't belong to and wherever they are on this planet.  If you resonate with this as an experience then please add your magic to the thread in the comments. We are all connected via an invisible red thread ⭕️
 In March 2019, we spent the weekend exploring what it takes to be balanced as a women in today’s busy world. Breakdowns were had, breakthroughs were achieved. Good food, tea and chocolate was a plenty! It was a pleasure to run this workshop, to see the shifts in the sisters and experience their transformation throughout the weekend. I was joined by 4 powerful sisters. A mix of creatives; some of whom had not picked up a brush for years and others who had never approached a canvas before. We journeyed deeply into our own stories using Intentional Creativity. In meditation we met our internal guide of balance and bought her through onto the canvas.  On day 1 of our journey we looked at commitments that didn’t serve us, were holding us back or were imposed on us by society and/or family (without any real meaning for us personally) and made a conscious choice to lay some of that down. In doing this, we created space to bring forth things that had meaning to us, gave us joy or bought pleasure into our lives and then wove them into our canvases as a reminder of what to focus on.  Day 2 of our journey brought us to really connect with our visual work and receive a message from our painting that would guide us going forward. The sisters received powerful wisdom from their inner selves and felt excitement for bringing this into their lives. The workshop concluded with a sharing experience of the journey and an honouring of their paintings.  Our Lady of Balance will be running again as an on-line experience later this year and an in-person workshop in 2020. You can register your interest in this workshop here:  I've just returned from the Priestess Presence Pilgrimage in Glastonbury where I spent a week with 18 other sisters in Ceremony, visiting sacred sites, working with holy oils to anoint, awaken and activate the body & spirit. This was my 2 year pilgrimage and I loved every minute of it, all over again! I remain sacred keeper of the holy oil Ylang Ylang as an anointed Magdalene which has gifted me so much since first receiving her in 2017. We laughed, we cried, we remembered. We sang and shared our gifts.  I was honoured to facilitate an art & dance experience for the sisters whilst we were there. We danced the Heart Chakra and entered into a ritual of Inner Marriage, expressing our experience onto canvases.  The work was powerful, cathartic and life changing. I'm very grateful to have been given the opportunity to be invited to share my magic on this journey and look forward to 2019 when we will be doing it all over again!  Shores of Avalon Tina Malia Be brave my love The time has come To cross the Tintagel sea The fragrant air, the apple blossoms Have all been beckoning And there we’ll stand Looking out upon the world that we’ve known All fear will be gone When we reach the shores of Avalon You’ll be greeted there By maidens fair With eyes of the royal sea In the garden they will braid your hair With violets and rosemary And there we’ll stand Looking out upon the world that we’ve known All fear will be gone When we reach the shores of Avalon Feel the wind on your face As we cross the stormy sea Close your eyes, don’t look back There’s nothing left to see The other night you came to me Like an angel you appeared And we climbed the endless sky And held each other near And there we’ll stand Looking out upon the world that we’ve known All fear will be gone When we reach the shores of Avalon Be brave my love...  I'm all for things that activate your authentic creativity and would love to share the following offering with you. A dear sister of mine from Priestess Presence is offering a sacred writing course tomorrow. I highly recommend her activation's and love this offering.

There is a difference between professional self-expression and sacred self-expression. When we tap into our Essence voice, lifting it high and loud for others to hear—in your business and personal life—everything changes. Relationships become more genuine and honest. You find an inner freedom and flow. You easily access your authentic message and create truthful, soul-based content in your business. Old marketing and business strategies based on wounds, “pain points,” fear, and scarcity fall away. You stand in the truth of who YOU are, in all areas of your life. The world shakes beneath your feet. ...Simply by sharing your unique, sacred voice. If you'd love an experience of embodying this, you may want to check this out: https://mailchi.mp/c14fd8da3847/writing-your-fire  What a wonderful experience it was to be asked to co-host this powerful event at Peterborough Moon Circles.
A delightful opportunity for sisters to reclaim their personal power through self anointing and sacred dance. ''There is a fire within you love That only you can ignite A true force of reckoning that burns bright Radiating the force of love that you are in the world Harness it and own it now''. Many blessings on your journey sister. |
