Embodied Living
The sacred is not beyond us, but within us, and it is through our bodies, senses and intuition that we commune with divine Mystery. “…along with the other animals, the stones, the trees, and the clouds, we ourselves are characters within a huge story that is visibly unfolding all around us, participants within the vast […]

Honouring Menarche
Recently, on the same night, my 12 year old daughter and I both dreamed she had her first period, her menarche. That morning, out of the blue, my man was struck by this same imminent possibility while meditating. If that’s not a heads-up from the Yoniverse, I don’t know what is! So, I am on […]
The New Way: LOVE
I am increasingly witnessing a tussle in our culture between love and fear, in almost every arena of life. Mainstream/patriarchal culture is fear- and control-based, and this Old Way is drawing us all towards ecocide – obviously not a sustainable way to live.

Wombat Medicine
