Equinox: balance ⚖️ + reflection 🪞

Today is a significant turning point around the globe, as the night and day are equal in length.

The Autumn Equinox is meant to initiate you - and the people around you - into a period of reflection.

Take this opportunity to...

⭐ Explore and understand your latent desires.

⭐ It’s a moment to reflect on how you’re investing time in all areas of your life.

⭐ To discover which parts might need more attention.

⭐ To look at which commitments are no longer aligned with your growth.

During this time, you might ask yourself, “What areas of my life need renewal?” and, “How can I create more space to explore my unmet desires?” This is a good time to start conserving your energy to move more intentionally and become more specific about your priorities.

💖 We would love to hear how you shall be using this time to to be guided by your authentic self

What a bloody mad ride 2022 has been.

What a way to start the year...a stroke in January. The year didn't begin as positively as one may have hoped
My attitude was not to let this unexpected situation take over the love of my life away.
Let the photos do the talking ⚡✨🌈

Thank you to everyone that's been there with me to support, care and given me joy. I've loved this year.

We can’t decide on our look for Christmas, can you help?

Hola. Goodness, we've not posted here for some time. It's not because we've not been up to anything, far from it. Since the summer festivals, we've been teaching yoga and working on planning 2023 events. We sometimes don't enjoy condensing and making announcements in tiny equal-size boxes. Fun for us is getting off-screen interaction with others.

We wanted to put a post up to let you know we're a super duper place and looking forward to a rest over Christmas.

We would love to know your joy's away from Instagram.

17/11/2022
