Getting to the Heart of Connection through awareness (Part 2)
Last week, whilst on our Okan tour, I attended a talk: “What it Takes to Heal” by Prentis Hemphill, Marai Larasi, and Farzana Khan. One of my teachers phrases, “We don’t need to heal because we are already whole, complete and fixed exactly as we are”… kept popping up during the session… and I am […]

Maya Musings: Finding the Divine in the Mundane
Flowing with Life’s Unexpected Currents “Flow with what is, create from where you are, and watch as the ordinary transforms into something extraordinary” When life presents you with unexpected challenges, do you fight against the current, or do you flow with it?

The Power of Inner Truth (and following our intuition)
I am writing to you from Leeds (I let out a sigh of relief because my body feels so at home here and it is so nice to be out of the big smoke!) I am up in Leeds for various completions connected to teaching aerial, my beautiful marriage, and an amazing ancestral visit […]
Your circumstances (and other people’s projections) do not dictate the outcome!
You can do whatever you would love if you listen to the whisper and follow your heart over your circumstances and ideas about your possibility!

Fixing ourselves, others and the world is not creating
Do you ever notice these thoughts creeping in? 1: I am not good enough 2: I am the reason all bad things happen/responsible for fixing all of it forever and ever 3: I don’t belong/am unloveable I have been practising Alchemy since 2016, but not fixing was one of the last themes to really land […]
What a great week!
This week, I realised I got what would normally take me 6 months (or longer!) done with some shared accountability! Here is what I learnt about how to get things done: 1: Creating can be frustrating & tense but magic comes from that… 2: Having a space that is not about pressure but offers support […]
Why squeezing the things we love leads to break-ups
Breaking was in the Olympics for the first time and I was there! It was beautiful (and epic!) to witness and show support for breakers (Breakdancers) worldwide who had qualified to battle… I shed a few tears: first at Bgirl Talash using the platform to protest as a refugee who has left Afghanistan, […]
