Running on Empty?
February Dates for Let's Write Together!
Hello Friend
Where are you on the scale between No Gas - Regular - Horsepower?!
I am hearing from wisdom sources I trust that, apart from all the horror and grief we are being asked to navigate in real time, this week was always going to be a tiring ending of cycles, as we prepare for something new. Rest is required. No Gas is very understandable, and you are not alone if that was your answer.
We are finishing out the shedding of skin from the Year of the Snake and gearing up to enter the Year of the Fire Horse. To me that sounds both invigorating and exhausting! I’d settle for Regular Fuel right now, but maybe we will be graced with a gentle transition of forces. We will see.
I have no cogent idea as to how the energy that we are steeped in affects us, nor how others seem able to interpret it. But I feel it and have learnt to honour it in my own way, which has developed over the years and certainly helps me to navigate my days.
Writing with pen on paper is a grounding practice for me — watching my hand ‘magically’ create words from my mind, letter by letter, as I enter a trance-like embodiment of all that I am — is barely explainable. Those words will suffice for now. Do you find writing - or maybe drawing? - flows out of you in a way that connects you to your body and imagination at the same time?
I hope you have a practice that you know will help you. And that you make time to settle into it regularly. People from a variety of cultures and wisdom traditions seem to have predicted these times, and all of them encourage us into self-care above all else.
One of the ways I find meaning and joy in my work is to host writing sessions where you can tap into your presence, away from the noise. And this is what I call:
Two dates each month now. One midweek and another around a weekend, depending on my availability. More information here if this is new to you.
My good intentions for advanced date planning got lost in event-organizing and a performance of Breastless as a fundraiser for our local Women’s Resource Centre. I apologise, but now here are February’s dates. March will get complicated by another performance and then a trip back to Wales. So bear with me.
FEBRUARY DATES: Sat 21st & Weds 25th at 10amPST/1pmET/6pmUK
