Peaceful Warrior Woman Retreat @ Ottertail Lake, MN 
August 25th & 26th, 2018

During a recent FaceTime chat with a soul sister, I shared that I had just created a cozy boho space in my basement.  I’ve had that little dream in my heart for awhile and it is was so fun to see all the little enjoyable projects turn into something magical.  ​

Dancing from one thing to the next.

Mow the yard.  Get my walk in. Clean the kitchen. Write a blog post.  Weed-wack around the trees.  Promote the Women’s Awakening Festival.  Drink some water.  Teach a yoga class.  Clean the bathroom.  Did I eat lunch?  Sneak in a few pages of reading.  Hop on the kayak.  Return client texts.  Sneak in dinner.  Return client emails.  Ahhh…I could go on and on.  For this redhead (and I am sure you too) are hard to slow down during the season of fire.

Intuition is seeing with the soul.  ~ Albert Einstein

I love LOVE love that each moment of every day is a new opportunity to live in bold ~ no apologies ~ this is who I am ~ truth.   And now onto growing your truth.

​Are you a person reading this because you want to know the secret to turning up the volume of your intuition?  Then, I must first begin with a WARNING from your intution.

I asked him, What was your favorite part about school? Without a flinch, “summer!”  Ha.  This is how a recent chat went down with my boyfriend.  Me on the other hand, I loved all of school.  So much so, I saved old paperwork and played teacher during the summer breaks.  Insert all the neighborhood kids lined up in lawn chairs surrounding the pool as I paced the front, I think waving a stick, as I gestured into understanding 1 + 2 using 3 trees in the yard.  Think there was a clue back then that teaching was a life gift I was meant to share?  I mean, come on, what kid takes a break from swimming to teach?  Yep!  This one.

As life progressed from 3rd grade, the love of learning stayed with me.  I satiated all that teachers were willing to share, the stories that books would etch in my heart, and the wisdom that nature seeped into my cells.  You see, my only wish through all the years of sitting at desks, was that the walls would come down and we would be under the blanket of the sky learning from the teacher that never judges or holds anything back.   Mother Earth and all of her creatures!
In my life’s work, I use her sage teachings wisely, along with spirit animals, all the elements and much more on my path as a shamanic practitioner, energy life coach & yoga teacher.  And, I continue to be the most eager of students as I learn throughout all of the Seasons.  So I guess, you could say that summer was one of my favorite parts of school too.

With Earth Day just around the corner on April 22nd, may you find moments to step out into my most favorite classroom, the one without walls.  

See you on your yoga mat or elsewhere as I continue to share my hearts love ~ teaching!

P.S.  Earth Day Yoga Saturday, April 22nd 9am Ottertail (we will be on the beach if mother nature’s warmth gives us a hug or inside…with the windows open)

As 2017 begins, I have felt drawn towards the beauty of:
power & peace.
action & stillness.
speaking & silence.
The yin & yang of life. 
And these words cross my path “Silence is not silent.  Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still.  Silence leads. It leads most perfectly”. ~ Sri Chinmoy
Most perfectly indeed.  We are not one without the other.
In wholeness,
Wendy

As the clouds swirled and the rain surrounded women from south to north and east to west, their unique souls gathered as ONE.  The winds headed the call of Spirit as rain clouds were pealed away and held to the perimeter of the sacred land.

An opening, a window, a valley towards clarity had been created.  They stood in a portal of awakening.  Voices shared wisdom, hands brought healing, music guided them to move their hips and dance on mother earth’s belly, and then they heard the undeniable vibration.

Awake!  Awake to the power & beauty that lies within!

They stood in the middle of Mother Nature’s Portal.
​
They were being called back to the root of the feminine. To their goddess essence.

The Women’s Awakening Festival image was seen everywhere as the feminine stood on the inverted lotus flower patiently awaiting no longer to rise from the false sense of self that had been lingering amongst her family & friends.  She was ready to be authentic, vulnerably raw, and uniquely herself.  She held a spiral of goddess energy in her hands and once released into the universe; there would be no turning back.  She would speak her truth.  She would awaken to the intuitive gifts guiding her to heal so she may in turn help the world flow with the grace of nature.

Until our paths cross again my sweet friends,
Wendy
