INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
👑 SACRED DIVINE WOMAN
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY IS TOMORROW!!
A day when the world focuses on US.
Just one day, out of 365 ... makes you think .....
....About WHY your voice matters so much, why it highlights how much you mean to the world.
Femicide and violence against women is an alarming reality. You can read about this here.
Genocide, ethnic cleansing and control through severe patriarchal systems, poverty and displacement of people creates unimaginable levels of cruelty, where women are oppressed and silenced beyond comprehension.
But we are still here.
Hope and vision and true change coming from rising and connecting to the earth is something we can all do, to be true to ourselves.
Powerful women connect to the inner strength that takes us back to a place where all was sacred, history, creation, the future, as female.
In our own way.
So, my question for you is, what is YOUR way? How will YOU honour your Divinity this weekend?
Remember you are Sacred.
And so are ALL of our Sisters, humanity and the earth.
Equality, community, empathy, so that feminism is not conditional. It is inclusive of all women. And that in order to make this happen, overthrowing the patriarchal and colonising paradigms are not only important but essential.
This is so deep, I know you feel it.
Want to build community? Lets do it together, lets come together and allow the good feeling to spill over into all that we do.
I HONOUR YOU and wish you the most amazing weekend.
Tuning into the Full Moon Energies
Full Moon Energies.
How do you respond to them?
Very often when things get intense, we look within for the answer.
How about looking around for the answer?
The way we respond is not only linked to what is going on internally, it is also how we respond to what is going on externally. We are not separate from our environment.
Consider how life greets you depending on how you are feeling ......
So, this Full Moon, I invite you to tune in.
Just take some time, today, to create space to be still. Sit, and see where you land, see how you feel.
Just observe and honour wherever you meet yourself. And stay in that space, and watch how things begin to settle.
Then, later, journal on it and without judgement observe your feelings.
The more honest you get about those feelings deep within, the more you will see down to your very. bones how you are connected and aligned to the planets and the world.
Its a process, and its powerful and deep. I invite you to begin today and honour this each Full and New Moon.
Let me know how you get on.
with love, Ax

3 Ways To Claim Your Midlife Self Belief for Good
3 Ways To Claim Your Midlife Self Belief for Good
I don’t know about you, but turning 50 really DID change me.
I had been perimenopausal for 10 years, and that had coincided with the birth of my youngest son, so being a mother with young children and in perimenopause created some intensity and joys and challenges. I also had a teenage son, and my own midlife mirrored the changes he was going through, in an albeit different but relatable way!
I didn’t fit in, I felt I was not being heard, I wanted to be listened to and to express a raging energy, passionate, full, creative, on a whole new level. I knew I wasn’t alone, but I felt that each one of us needs that invitation so that we give ourselves permission to fly in Midlife, to let our newly found US come out.
It can feel like you have lost yourself, but really you are in the emotional equivalent of a foggy void, and there is ultimately a clearing, and that is the connection to our sense of self.
I crashed, and experienced my 4th burnout, however, it wasn’t until I almost lost my life to pneumonia just before I turned 50 that things completely came out in the open about what that had to do with self-belief.
You see, I have always held deep spaces for Women and did a lot of juggling, and loved it, but midlife came along, and I really had to admit defeat, because the old ways were NOT going to work ever again. The pace had to change. Getting older created new opportunities as I changed, my world changed, what I believed was right for me changed. In truth, things got wiser, deeper and more resourceful. And I’m so bloody grateful for that!
My body changed, my ability to engage with people, my levels of tolerance, my attitude to time, relationships, work and life. As I took stock of my life on oxygen in hospital, I made myself a promise, if I got out alive, I would ONLY do what I wanted, because I’d spent a lifetime making it about everyone else, mostly.
And so, I want to share three things from my heart, sincerely, which enabled me to claim myself belief so that my life began to work for me and I know you will LOVE these too. I work with powerful manifestation and intention in my groups and one to one immersions, so let’s set some intentions now to invite in all that you need and create this self-belief for yourself today.
3 Ways To Claim Your Midlife Self Belief for Good
1. Finding a new WHY
I travelled deep to look at WHY I did things, and the reasons took me to my younger self, the part of me that was influenced by the world around me deeply, a place of seeking approval as a child and teenager, and just walked away from all need to please anyone. Letting go was AMAZING. I invite you to make peace with the past in terms of your younger self, be there for her, love her and so free her for making other people the reason why you make decisions. Find a new WHY, the one that supports you, the one from your own heart.
2. Celebrating you NOW
I spent a long time on this – learning how I could love myself more. And then it happened, because I had ditched the reason behind why I had done things in the past, I became free to laugh and find joy and love myself right now, I saw myself differently, in the moment, and I created space to celebrate her. And as you find ways to honour yourself, you let go of the thoughts living freely in your head that don’t belong there, and the lure to have joy increases, as you love yourself inside and out, more am more each day.
3. Getting EXPRESSIVE
I’ve always been an extrovert, but I’d never been a Midlife Woman before! I did end up giving away half of the clothes that no longer felt like me, but I also embraced the self-expression that made me feel GOOD. The way I dressed, singing, dancing, and for me drumming and painting became a priority. Because it made me HAPPY. What brings you joy? I invite you to come out of your comfort zone and to do more of it and also to get creative with how you look and feel, because you are a Goddess, you owe it to yourself to take up your spot, you know, they one reserved just for you.

It’s been an absolute joy to be a guest on Alice’s blog at Tap With Alice.
Join us as I share what 5 things really work for me ….
5 Steps to a Calm Day: Help Anxiety with a Game-Changing Morning Routine
Our guest writer this month is Angie Litvinoff, a women’s wellbeing expert with 25 years of professional experience. And she says anxiety is something that she has simply HAD to create a special routine for.
Why? Well, during the pandemic two things happened: my anxiety levels went through the roof – I’m sure yours did too – and menopause started. This meant for me personally that I faced huge amounts of stress, resulting in a period of very ill health.
My work changed completely as I navigated being self-employed in a turbulent economic climate. I had to find a strategy to reduce my anxiety as an urgent priority, and THIS is what has worked for me ever since.
Before we start, I just want to say, I know I am not alone.

Leave your home with the intention to connect to nature and open your heart to her.
Go go a large space full of trees and sky.
Remove your shoes and feel your bare feet agains the soft earth.
Each step affirm to yourself that you belong in the here and now.
Find a beautiful tree.
Stand and hold its trunk - as you breathe in and out, feel the nourishment of your tree ally ground and restore you and energise you.

Why claiming your vulnerability is the key to empowerment
And so it is, blessed be.
I have sat in circle and listened to women and men for 25 years.
When I embraced this path, I was barely 25. I had already had a lifetime of trauma and the healing was about listening to my greatest gifts - which I recognised through getting vulnerable. You may know that I survived growing up in a military dictatorship in Chile and our home was direclty opposite a detention centre where they tortured political prisoners.
I dived into therapy at the age of 16 to uncover the depths of low self esteem, ancestral trauma and self hate, began to confront an eating disorder and depression and by the time I was 18 I had been treated for a psychotic episode which I couldn't understand but which in some ways was they key to the truth - an indication that change was the medicine I needed. A year later I entered a Native American Sweatlodge in the USA and was initiated into a Rite of Passage which allowed me to step into my power.
It was not a magic wand, it was the start of the most challenging life journey which has taken me to the edge of my vulnerability every year since. I wouldn't say everyone was going to have a life changing moment of transformation in this situation - but it happened for me because it was about truth and voice and regrouping, it spoke to my right to autonomy, to being visible, to representing myself in the world, and I was terrified. You see, I know how to hold space thanks to the life I have lived, and I know how to guide your Rites of Passage because of my own journey.
And so we all have our vulnerabilities, and fear has been the key to my empowerment, because whenever I feel it, I know I am close to overcoming something hugely significant, that my triggers are my guides, that I can do it and I will.
And being visible goes to the top of the list. Why? Because you matter dear Sacred Woman, you matter, your voice, your vision, your truth, you matter. Claiming your space is everything.
I have faced rejection many times, and I still do, but each time I know that my path is unique and my own and for every rejection there is a welcoming, from somewhere else, you begin to see the path through understanding that external validation is so lovely but does not define you, that your own self validation is the power. You create your own path, the one never travelled before.
Allow the vulnerability to guide you to know yourself better, that the healing is in the love you create for your life, that the medicine is a soulful acknowledgement of what matters most. Through surrender the love comes forward from many places.
Soulful Woman, I see you.

VALENTINES WEEK: LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Love is in the air
And so is your inner Venus.
We are multifaceted beings.
That means you give yourself permission to be as much at home with covering yourself in mud and paint, going barefoot, chanting and drumming and at the same time the woman who loves beautiful clothes, sipping from a fluted glass and adorning herself with jewels and beautiful scents.
Venus is the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty, and sometimes alongside the Greek Goddess Aphrodite and sometimes merging together, we have two exceptional women. Venus is however so much more than sugar and spice and all things nice.
Reaching deep into the TRUE SHAMANIC SOUL MEDICINE she provides, look beyond what is tasteful and non confrontational and find a Goddess who is also about war, sex and sensuality. So my question for you this week is
WHAT IF YOU COULD OPEN UP YOUR HEART TO LOVE IN YOURSELF MORE THAN EVER BEFORE? WITHOUT JUDGEMENT? UNCONDITIONALLY? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE TRANSCEND THE THRESHOLD AND TRULY REACH OUT AND CROSS OVER INTO THE WISDOM OF OUR VERY SOUL?
We tread carefully within the paradigm of good behaviour, Venus is not about that. She invites you this week - to wear RED, show some of your other aspects to the world, the sass, the enchantress, the wild woman and the unapologetic self. To transcend beauty standards and the conventional and come out as a Warrior Queen, Empress, Goddess.
Love is redefined right here. Celebrate yourself in your sensuous wild glory and also your creative self go deep with this exploration of self love and dive into the joy that letting all the bullshit fall away.
Know that you come home to yourself and allow her in, allow Venus in, your ally, let her be your guide.
A Valentines Day Ritual
(you can also wait until the weekend)
Take a long bath
Make some rose tea
Journal deeply
Eat your favourite food
Listen to your most cherished song
Speak to someone who raises your spirits
Wear your favourite clothes
Meditate and let Venus in, invite her into your space, welcome her, drum, dance with her, sage the room, create merriment.
THEN...................
Write a statement starting with I AM at the start of every line, praising yourself with all the wonderful positive affirming magnificent words you can find.
Light a candle
Say this statement out loud with your hands to your heart
Then finish with
I vow to always know I am complete, I am love. Close your circle giving thanks to your life.
Now go out and LIVE IT.

Death and the Ancestors
Dear Soulful Woman,
What does Halloween / Samhain mean to ceremony, mean to us?
It is
A time to go deep
A time to honour ancestors
A time to give space to how we feel about our own mortality
A time to honour change
A time to embrace our Inner Mystic
A time to honour life
Several festivals come together, all over the world today.
The veil between life and death, between us and our ancestors is at its thinnest in the next two days.
Creating the space for ritual and meditation enables us to immerse ourselves with the soul consciousness that is our journey.
Today is a portal of understanding, compassion, love and growth.
Prayer and Invocation To The Ancestors:
I honour you
I open my heart to you
I create room for you
I go deep into my awareness with you
I trace your journey
I give gratitude to you
I hear you
Have an amazing day
Ax

CEREMONY FOR PEACE
PEACE CEREMONY
Thoughts and prayers going out to Gaza and all of those affected all over the world where there is suffering. Anywhere there is suffering right now needs our prayers, let us not be divided by anger or politics. I share this ceremony freely, consider donating to a charity to help those directly affected.
Take time out to create your very own PEACE CEREMONY. This simple gesture tunes you in to the vibration and frequency of LOVE which we so need in the world now more than ever.
A SIMPLE CANDLE CEREMONY FOR PEACE
You will need a candle, a poem, and some time uninterrupted.
If you do this with others or arrange with others to do this at the same time as you, you will build COLLECTIVE ENERGY.
Your Ceremony
1. Stand grounded and rooted and breathe deeply
2. Put your hands to your heart
3. Visualise the energy love pouring into your heart through your hands, the love of all things that are good and true
4. Fill yourself inside out with this energy, feel the love within each cell
5. Now see this energy pouring out of you and expanding your energy beyond your body, your town, your country, filling the entire globe with each breath out, see this love reaching far and wide, each person who needs it right now regardless of place or circumstance
6. Be bathed fully in the feeling of pure love
7. Now open your eyes and read the poem you have ready, read it out loud
8. Stand for a few moments to feel its resonance
9. Light the candle setting the intention that the love and hope finds its way to all who suffer right now, connect with strength, with resilience, with compassion, love and humanity
10. Finish with a song or just by closing your eyes and resting your hands in prayer on your chest.

FRIDAY 13TH: ALL THE VIBES RIGHT HERE
FRIDAY 13TH : ALL THE VIBES RIGHT HERE.
This day, Friday 13th, is a promise.
A promise to you.
In fact it is is a pledge of allegiance to your soul.
This ancient celebration of the Goddess, a celebration of 13 moons is mystical, spiritual and powerful.
There are 13 moons in the year.
And for the bleeding cycle, 13 bleeds.
This connection is SO powerful, SO profound, and the cycles of womanhood are feared even now in our modern society.
Put aside the assumptions that this is a day of bad luck, its your day lady, and you can embrace it fully.
Moon time, both a time of reflection, menstruation and an acknowledgment of our connection with the cycles of the year, act now as ever as a measurement of time itself.
This deep connection with cycles is part of you. And part of your creation story.
Whether you bleed now or not, the cycles in your body and the cycles of the moon are related.
The 13 cycles of the lunar calendar take us through a variety of expressions which embody every aspect of the stages of womanhood and mood, all within a month, again and again.
And these months are not 12 calendar months, they are 12 cyclical months consisting of four weeks each.
Every four weeks you are renewed. Each week is a different part of your expression, it is immensely powerful and to be honoured.
So today, create the time to celebrate this relationship, rather like a birthday!
Let me know how you get on.

So what comes next and how do I do it? The Rise of the Spiritual Entrepreneur
You have been around for a while.
And you have covered a lot of ground, I know.
You are keen to grow - in all the right ways. You want to expand your life, your mind, your work.
Because your experience tells you so. Your wisdom is built on a wealth of knowledge and hard work, and this point in life is all about doing what you really love.
Even if you don’t know what that is yet.
What comes next?
So what exactly comes next in your life? You are exploring options, you are letting go.
Why do I know all of this? Two reasons really, I have been there myself and I attract women like you to my work, women who wish to RISE.
Back to you - as you are sorting out what you don’t want to do, it makes it easier to see what’s left. The part of you that only now you are ready for, now that you are aware of what your strengths are.
And these are new strengths - that have come about through learning that you have achieved all you set out to do in your old life. I can see how you can bring them into the new, but for now it is enough to know that you are stepping into a whole new world.
How do you do it?
Hmmm that is a big question, but its more the why for now. Focus on WHY you want to do it. Is it truly coming from a place of the best and most powerful intensions of your true self, is it your higher calling, is it what will catapult you to new heights.
It may be that it is a practical chapter, but its far more likely that it is the spiritual path calling you closer, nearer, deeper. The calling is impossible to ignore, it is actually more like a burning desire.
So take stock, right now.
See what your true intention is, does it make your heart sing?
Why does it do that and why does it do that right now?
Can you describe it?
Can you give it room?
Is it the very reason that you get out of bed in the mornings, can you identify with it, is it your passion?
Does it enable you to offer something authentic, unique, with the integrity you feel so essential to all of your endeavours?
Are you looking to transform everything you touch, and to help others do the same?
The RISE of you as a Spiritual Entrepreneur has already begun, even if you don’t have a plan - yet.
And THAT. is where your answer lies, the truth, the reason.
And let me close by saying I am deeply excited for you and all that you are about to do. You have come so far and now a new adventure. I love that you are doing this for you.

SPRING EQUINOX RITUAL
SPRING EQUINOX RITUAL:
The time - and there is only one other this year - where day and night are of equal length.
Spring is about momentum, creating, moving forwards, think of all you wish to sow, which seeds you wish to plant in your life, what feels most essential t you in terms of what your HEART AND SOUL yearn for.
It is a time to look at the themes of BALANCE and GROWTH in your life.
A simple ritual to help you ignite the Spring energies within.
1. Start the day 20th / 21st March with a meditation holding your hands close to your heart. This is about BLESSING.
2. Write words on pieces of paper, make them the most single potent words each representing a seed you are sowing for the months ahead. This is about INTENTION.
3. If you have physical seeds and soil to hand (and no worries if not), plant these too, have each seed represent a different wish. This is about MANIFESTATION.
4. Hold those pieces of paper close to your heart, then hold them up to the sky, invoking the energies of new growth, the Element of Air to carry your messages to Creation and by placing love into your defining action. This is about PURPOSE.
5. Place the pieces of paper in a jar and every time something beautiful happens, put this event into the jar too in writing, watching your intentions grow, creating GRATITUDE.
6. Finally, light a candle to honour the light now entering, the longer days, celebrating the tipping point into the new season. This is CELEBRATION.

5 ways to release unwanted thoughts
Release unwanted thoughts.
I get it. We get in our own way all the time.
And unwanted thoughts hold us back, make us feel less than and begin to shape a story which simply isn't true, unless we give it power.
So here are 5 ways to help you, when an unwanted thought comes up, so you can send it back to source and clear the way for you to feel better about you.
1. Burn it.
Yes, write it down and set fire to it (safely), first hold it to your heart, set the intention to let it go, see the transformation as the thought goes, and release the stuck feelings as you watch it dissolve and become ash.
2. Dance it.
Put on THE most potent, beautiful, uplifting, euphoric pice of music you can find and play it loud, dance until the song has finished, releasing negativity out of your body.
3. Walk it.
Get out and walk in nature, touch leaves, trees, plants, collect sticks, find beautiful stones, and set the intention that once you come home, the thoughts stay out of the door.
4. Cleanse it.
Light some herbs, palo santo, smudge and smoke this around you, above you, to each side of you, create a circle of smoke and ask for the negative energies to be lifted and removed as you breathe in the new and breathe out the old.
5. Journal it.
Sit, breathe, write. Write it all down, everything that is making you feel anxious, angry, feel less than, feel fearful, feel depressed, feel destructive, feel negative, all of it. Until you are done. Then say 'I release these thoughts, they are not me, they are passing through me, I have compassion, I have kindness to myself, I love myself fiercely and completely'
Let me know how you get on.

So when IS it best to birth a new chapter?
If it’s feeling like you are going around a washing machine or being thrown around a fairground ride currently, you are not alone.
It is a time of huge turbulence.
So why is it a good idea to birth the next chapter NOW when all that is going on?
Something I learned after I had children was, I quickly realised that there was no ideal time for anything. If I put my life on hold whilst holding the space for others - my whole life would go by.
And so I adapted but never lost sight of who I was, or my relationship with my husband, or my self development, or times to enjoy together as our little tribe grew.
It did all slow down - a lot - and everything takes AGES in comparison to before, but that is actually a blessing, life was way too fast and too full and just altogether too much about other people.
And so, what about this new chapter? The one you want to birth.
When you have outgrown the old you are in this uncomfortable space of growth, shedding the old skin, in the birth canal, nothing seems real because you are still trying to manifest it.
You are still in the process of beginning to own your dreams.
However, the difference between it staying a dream and it become real is about how you manifest your passion into the world. On a practical level.
And one thing everyone who comes to me for mentoring and rites of passage immersions has in common is that all these creatives can’t go back to the way things were.
Whether by conscious choice or life deciding, or both, that there is no turning back.
And in front of you awaits a portal, a threshold of pure powerful authentic truth for you to walk through with intention and focus and clarity.
Birthing the next chapter is imminent when you are ready to create, and there will be no perfect time to do it, there will always be a reason to talk yourself out of it.
Divine timing is like getting on a merry go round, which I had to do for 7 years whilst my kids were small, it is about getting the momentum to do it and looking out for when, but not waiting so long that the moment has passed.
Serious about change?

Ways to Celebrate This Autumn Equinox
Dear Soulful One,
We are stepping into the autumn equinox, which will be celebrated by earth lovers all over the northern hemisphere.
I warmly invite you to honour this beautiful enriching festival.
As we observe day and night being of equal distance, people all over the southern hemisphere will be welcoming in the spring equinox with new beginnings.
For us in the north, we also celebrate the themes of balance but rather than welcoming in the new, we focus on gathering our knowledge and wisdom and taking stock, so that we can grow and assimilate all our experiences.
It is a time to begin drawing our energies inward, to feel energised by this and to have gratitude for this opportunity of another year on this amazing planet.
Ways to honour the Autumn Equinox:
1. Create an outside natural altar
2. Declutter
3. Cook with friends
4. Journal on what needs to bring more balance in your life
5. Have a soul reading to establish where you are at in your life
6. Begin a gratitude practice
And most of all, enjoy the light as it fades into darker days, longer nights, it will return, renewed, just like you.

what happens when you start saying no
The power of No hit me hugely this summer.
I have been asserting some strong boundaries in my midlife, especially since burnout number 3.
As a high achiever who drives myself forward constantly, strong boundaries have always been something I have had to be conscious of and in the last few years, become passionate about.
I am an unconventional creative being, but this doesn’t exclude me from being a high achiever too. You see, I have created so much, that at times what drives me forward is historical, I have achieved so much in the past and some of that urgency has stayed, like a constant reminder of how much I can do and how much I am capable of.
But you know what - I am walking away from it all.
I am going to be 50 next year and this milestone is what is driving me forward now, because I am walking forwards into the beginning of exactly how I mean to go on in life.
Saying no - a lot.
Life now is about deepening what is already there, yes to new experiences but only if they nourish me. And just because I can make huge things happen - it doesn’t mean I should.
THAT has been my biggest lesson dear Soulful Woman - that just because I can it doesn’t mean I need to, have to or want to.
And saying no is like an avalanche. Or a cascade. It becomes bigger and stronger as it picks up momentum.
This summer I say NO to everything, I am letting go of SO much I am amazed at how much I have been doing for decades, doing so much that I didn’t even know I was doing it I became so good at it.
And doing it well too.
But no is not about that, what happens when I say no? I relax, I breathe deeply, I become present, I live in the moment, I open up to the richness of living, I create in a different way. I create the SPACE TO BE.
And I am loving it. All of my summer I am creating that space and regrouping gently, with love, with space, with time.
I cannot WAIT to invite in the new, with no agenda, no deadline, no outcome, just new, a new beginning.

Surrender: Mental Health Awareness Week
I have been sharing a bit about surrender so far this week.
It’s essential.
We need to surrender to our own needs, to establish how to grow and how to begin to embrace self worth.
Firstly, establish that you NEED to address the theme of surrender.
See how it works for you, this theme, that you really do need to listen to yourself, to what you need.
You see, you are changing, your old life no longer fits, no longer works for you, you have established this at least.
And you know you need to make changes, which actually means PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST.
Uncomfortable as that might feel, this is essential for your mental health. And radical. Because women have been doing the opposite of this whenever self worth was low, historically and very much now.
Now you have established this, take the next step of HOW you will do this.
It involves stepping away from anything you go to and hide behind, be it work, family, friends, to-do lists, you can’t obsess forever. You have to take that step forwards into the unknown and make this a practical thing.
Do something to help yourself, and do it soon.
Midlife and Beyond are the halfway line, we don’t have forever, which is a good thing, because despite any brain fog or overwhelm you may be experiencing, you are FOCUSED on this, you know it’s the truth and it’s a motivating force to embrace the day.
Beauty and Joy are all about balance and fulfilment, you have two choices:
do nothing
do something
which will it be?
I urge you to choose the ‘do something’ as this will enable you to surrender.
This ‘do something’ is a first step, make this change by putting yourself and your needs first, EMOTIONAL needs first, this will change your life.
So what next?
