Navigating the Mysteries - Finding authenticity and the way to a more loving world.
Welcome to the first update from Navigating the Mysteries – the name for my new work in the world.
I am in the betwixt and between once more – with just 3 more days until my time with Quadratos comes to an end. It is a swirl of endings and beginnings, of letting go and learning and bringing form to tiny sparks of ideas. I am navigating a great deal of new technology!
From this creative melting pot, the first iteration of my new website has emerged. Today, it will go live. I’m nervous about this! It’s another threshold moment, and I’m inviting you to share it with me.
Navigatingthemysteries.com is the new home for an ever-growing collection of offerings from me.
You will find a selection of Workshops and Walking Retreats, New Moon Gatherings, Full Moon Features and blog posts, with news of inspiring work in the world, photo diaries of my walking retreats and other reflections.
Let me tell you a little more.
New Moon Gatherings.
Back in March, at that moment of balance, brought by the Spring Equinox, it felt to me as if humanity was precariously poised on a giant fulcrum. Sudden fearful movement in any direction could destabilise the whole thing.
An urgent need arose in me. Like a mother hen gathering her chicks in the face of danger, I felt the need to gather those dear to me and usher us all toward safety.
The Spring Equinox coincided with the new moon. A doubly powerful symbolic time of new beginnings, of new life arising from the darkest night of the moon cycle and a great time to set a new intention for the month ahead.
Graciously, some of my friends joined me in what was to be the first New Moon Gathering. This gathering morphed into what is now a monthly online event.
Each month, it offers us the opportunity to ask ourselves
Where is my heart?
What is my part?
And to seek out and support the places and people that are bringing healing and wholeness to our world, in beautiful, diverse, creative ways.
Inspired by the calendar of International Days, at each new moon, it is our intention to highlight those who inspire us and are working towards
• greater inclusion & equity,
• greater sense of community & shared lives,
• the emergence of non-hierarchical structures,
• and the restoration of right-relationship for the human and other-than-human world.
Will you join us?
