The Great Round of Mandala is a map and a compass to teach us more about cyclical wisdom, how to live in right relationship with earth’s cycles and seasons and to deepen our felt-sense of the interbeing, the web of reciprocity, between me and the more-than -human beings

Internal Family Systems (IFS): a recap

IFS believes that each of us is an ecosystem of parts, and when all parts are in harmony, the ecosystem runs smoothly, yet when we are taken over by one or more parts we can feel out of balance or stuck or in chaos or not even recognize ourselves, as we sometimes swing wildly from one emotion to another.

Grief Work is Soul Work

An exploration of how we need to find ways to safely release our grief in order to have an enlivened Soul -filled, Self-Led response to the world. "The sacred ground of grief …shakes us and breaks us open to depths of the soul we could not imagine. Grief offers a wild alchemy, transmutes suffering into fertile ground. We are made real and tangible by the experience of sorrow. …We are stripped of excess and revealed as human in our times of grief. Grief ripens us, pulls up from the depths of our souls what is most authentic in our beings.” Francis Weller The Wild Edge of Sorrow, Rituals for Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. P8.

What is Eco Soul Therapy?

In eco soul therapy we explore the parts of your own inner ecosystem AND the outer ecosystem that you live in (relationship, family, work, community, society, earth). The focus will be on encouraging you to listen deeply to your own inner wisdom, your Soul / Self, to tend to your individual and the collective, societal and ancestral wounded and protective parts, and to form secure attachments to your Soul/Self, others and to something larger, be that Earth or the Great Mystery.

I was fascinated to meet a tribe of like-minded people at the coldest beach party I had ever experienced and I… Continue reading Returning to my Soul Home: Nipaluna / Hobart
