For the first time in six years, I’m taking Samhain (the season I’m most fluent and comfortable to guide people through) for myself.

I waited patiently, but this year the great wave of momentum to show up and share never came. I feel I am on mute. I have nothing new to say.

I’m on the precipice of some massive changes personally so it seems the season and the ancestors want me to be really quiet and listen.

The yoga nidra ‘Descend Between Binaries’ is tucked below as well as some writings and guidance on how to be with death and inhabit the fertile void.

Thank you for being here, I feel you with me as we go in and downward…

Keep the candles burning and don’t forget to feed your dead 🔥
