SOL Retreat

Calling all women ready to reconnect with their primal nature, their deep feminine wisdom and dive into magical re-wilding work.

SOL RETREAT

Escape with Tiffany Zoldan for a Women’s Retreat in the beautiful Mayan Riviera in November 2024 and March 2025. This is a chance to ignite your SOUL, awaken your inner KNOWING, step into your POWER and connect with your TRIBE for an intimate and potent gathering. Explore the Mayan ruins and jungle landscape of the Mexican Caribbean, accompanied with deep inner work activations, shakti movement, breathwork, womb mysticism, feminine wisdom workshops, temazcal, yoga flow, and cacao ceremony.

WHEN

March 16-22, 2025 in celebration of the Spring Equinox

THE PURPOSE

Come as you are – to reignite your inner spark and awaken your soul. Women often put themselves last on the priority list, and the intention of this retreat is to “step into your power.” This is your chance to embark on a SOUL JOURNEY in a safe space for self discovery and truth. It’s also your time to be free, have fun and let go, so enjoy a massage, delight in the scrumptious local food, soak up the sun, or curl up with a book or a cocktail. This time is yours and you have permission to INDULGE!

THE REASON

Women are divine beings often spending time comparing themselves to other women instead of elevating one another and working together as a support system. By coming to this retreat we plan on pealing off the layers, letting go of any factors holding us back, digging deep to unveil our feminine powers, all while connecting with our tribe.

THE WAY

We strike a balance between solo, reflective time, and social time. Through self-care practices, intelligently sequenced warming flows, meditations and walks on the beach, powerful daily intentions, and SOUL ACTIVATING inner work, we will become the embodiment of love and the bricklayers of a cooperative human future. Expect to rid yourself of negativity through dance and movement, healing rituals, and emotional exercises that aid in the transformative process of LETTING GO and AWAKENING THE DIVINE FEMININE WITHIN YOU!

THE LOCATION

Situated in the Riviera Maya, in a beach town called Puerto Aventuras, our villa is surrounded by water, and just a short walk to the beach. Puerto Aventuras is located an hour away from the Cancun International Airport, 40 minutes from Tulum International Airport, 15 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and 20 minutes north of Tulum town.

THE VILLA

Located in the prestigious gated community of Puerto Aventuras, this gorgeous, luxury waterfront home exudes modern class and sophistication with the Mexican Caribbean flair. It features 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms. Spacious and inviting, the two main master bedrooms have jaw dropping water views allowing guest to immerse themselves in the lush tropical setting and make you feel like you are on the bow of a luxurious cruise ship. The bathrooms are equally as impressive and spacious. Additionally the property has 3 beautifully furnished bedrooms on the ground floor, with two complete bathrooms.

A large open plan for dining, exquisite cocktail bar area with wine cooler, and adjacent powder room, and comfortable living room all have an absolutely stunning view, looking out to the Palapa covered large terrace and beautiful Puerto Aventuras Ocean waterway. You can step right out and swim in the ocean!

The large pool is directly on the water’s edge where you can watch the boats go by. You can also enjoy your private kayaks or paddle boards which are part of the many activities of the Villa.

To explore, you are 500 meters from the beautiful beach in the area, and within walking distance to shops and international restaurants, golf course and tennis courts.
The marina is within the Puerto gated community and sailing or cruising is also available for your enjoyment. Well located, we are a short drive to world famous cenotes or Playa del Carmen and Tulum

Free WiFi in rooms and throughout the property!

THE FOOD

The food at the Villa is fresh, plentiful, healthy and delicious with a Mexican flare. The meal plan is based on the philosophy of “from the earth to your plate.” Our in-house chef and staff, deliver breakfast and dinner for our guests. The menu has deep rooted Mexican dishes with contemporary style influences. The chef caters to any dietary restrictions or preferences a guest may have. We use local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients, and most importantly, lots of love in the food we serve. Two meals are served daily, and tea, coffee and water are available at all times.

Cocktails are not included, however, this is also a RETREAT FOR YOUR TASTEBUDS so feel free to INDULGE!

THE ITINERARY

The itinerary is curated by Tiffany Zoldan, your guide and facilitator who is passionate about teaching others about divine femininity and wellness. On top of the daily morning practice of yoga, healing sessions and women’s circles, the itinerary also offers a beautiful Mayan Cacao ceremony perfect for a heart opening and spiritual journey. There is a tour to a cenote, a fresh water sinkhole in the middle of the jungle, a beach day in Tulum, breathwork, dance and a Somatic Healing workshop. Whether you are cliff jumping in the jungle or reading a book by the pool, the itinerary has the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. THIS is a week to live in rhythm with nature’s cycles.

THE YOGA PRACTICE AND BEYOND

Tiffany is a trauma recovery certified E-RYT 200 Yoga instructor and Somatic Coach, Ceremonialist and Shamanic practitioner, who will guide you through safe yoga practices, breathwork and inner work exercises. Morning classes will be all-level Vinyasa style, appropriate for most practitioners with some yoga experience. Experienced practitioners will be invited to deepen the practice according to the body’s needs. Afternoon sessions will focus on the inner work, as we explore our own personal boundaries and rise above the barriers that hold us back.

Lighten Up!

Rediscovering Your Inner Light Amidst Shadow Work

In the journey of self-discovery and personal growth, “lightening up” is a powerful reminder to balance the heavy, introspective work with moments of joy, levity, and self-compassion. It’s about finding harmony between understanding our shadows and embracing our inherent light.

What Does It Mean to Lighten Up?

To lighten up means to allow ourselves to experience life with a sense of ease and playfulness. It’s about taking a step back from the intense scrutiny of our flaws and challenges and giving ourselves permission to enjoy the present moment. Lightening up doesn’t mean ignoring our issues or avoiding personal growth; rather, it’s about integrating moments of lightness into our journey to maintain a healthy balance.

The Shadow Work: A Double-Edged Sword

Shadow work, the process of exploring the darker aspects of our psyche, is crucial for healing and growth. It involves acknowledging and integrating the parts of ourselves that we often suppress or deny. While this work is essential, it can also become overwhelming and all-consuming if we lose sight of the balance.

How We Can Let Our Light Dim

  1. Over-identification with Shadows: When we delve too deeply into our shadows, we may begin to identify too closely with our flaws and past traumas, forgetting that we are also beings of light and potential.
  2. Neglecting Self-Care: Intense focus on shadow work can lead us to neglect self-care and the activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.
  3. Perfectionism: The drive to “fix” ourselves can overshadow our ability to appreciate our current selves and our accomplishments.
  4. Isolation: Immersing ourselves in shadow work can lead to isolation, as we may withdraw from social interactions and support systems.

Tips to Lighten Up and Reconnect with Your Light

  1. Incorporate Playfulness: Engage in activities that make you laugh and feel carefree. Whether it’s dancing, painting, or playing with pets, let yourself experience the joy of play.
  2. Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. This shifts your focus from what’s wrong to what’s right in your life.
  3. Mindfulness and Presence: Practice mindfulness to stay grounded in the present moment. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and nature walks can help you reconnect with your light.
  4. Connect with Loved Ones: Spend time with people who uplift you. Human connections are powerful reminders of love and support.
  5. Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend. Acknowledge your efforts and progress, no matter how small.
  6. Creative Expression: Allow yourself to create without judgment. Writing, drawing, music, and other forms of artistic expression can be cathartic and illuminating.
  7. Balance in Self-Reflection: Schedule your shadow work and balance it with activities that nurture your spirit. Set boundaries to prevent it from taking over your life.

Remember

Lightening up is about remembering that we are multifaceted beings capable of both depth and joy. While shadow work is essential for personal growth, it’s equally important to nurture our light. By balancing introspection with moments of levity and self-compassion, we can lead a more fulfilling and harmonious life. Embrace the light within you, and let it shine alongside your shadows.

Creating a Moon Ceremony for Children

Last month I led my first family friendly full moon ceremony alongside my two daughters. It was a monumental moment for me. I’ve been guiding ceremonies for 7 years, dreaming of the day that my daughters would like to hold sacred space with me! They were amazing, and if you’re interested, you can see the highlights here.

So in case you yourself are inspired to host a moon ceremony with children, this is about…

Bringing the Sky Closer to You

The Harvest Moon, one of the most enchanting celestial events of the year, is almost here! On Friday September 29th, 2023, be prepared to witness a breathtaking display of lunar beauty as the full moon graces our night sky. This year’s Harvest Moon promises to be a spectacle you won’t want to miss, and we’re here to help you celebrate it in style.

What is the Harvest Moon?
The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Traditionally, it was a vital time for farmers to work late into the night, harvesting their crops by the moon’s light. This unique moon rises shortly after sunset, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape, making it appear larger and more luminous than other full moons.

Creating a Moon Ceremony for Children
Introducing children to the wonders of the night sky can be an enriching and magical experience. Here are a few ideas to create a memorable moon ceremony for the young ones in your life:

1. Moon Gazing: Find a cozy spot with a clear view of the moonrise. Lay out blankets, pillows, or sleeping bags and encourage children to lie down and gaze at the moon. Share stories and myths about the moon’s magic while pointing out interesting features through binoculars or a telescope if available.

2. Moon Crafts: Get creative with moon-themed crafts. Provide materials like clay, paper, and paint, so children can mold their interpretation of the moon’s surface or create beautiful moon-themed artwork. Don’t forget to display their creations as a reminder of this special night.

3. Moon Snacks: Prepare moon-shaped treats, such as cookies or sandwiches cut into circles. Use cream cheese or yogurt as “moon dust” and encourage children to decorate their own lunar-inspired snacks. A celestial picnic under the moonlight is a delightful experience.

4. Lunar Stories: Gather children around a campfire (or a safe indoor space) and share moon-related stories and myths from different cultures. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce them to the cultural significance of the moon.

5. Moon Journal: Provide children with notebooks and encourage them to start a moon journal. They can record their thoughts, observations, and sketches of the moon each night, fostering a lifelong interest in astronomy.

Remember, the Harvest Moon is a perfect occasion to instill a sense of wonder about the cosmos in the young minds around you. By celebrating it with creativity and imagination, you can create lasting memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of our celestial companion.

Wishing you clear skies and a magical Harvest Moon celebration!

Sincerely,
Tiffany Zoldan

Why YOU Should Create a VISION BOARD

Happy New Year everyone! Since we have entered into a new decade, I have been fired up to set intentions, put goals into action and manifest my wildest dreams. I kicked the new year off by creating a Vision Board for my “2020 Vision” and hung it up by my bathroom sink so I would see it every day!

Did you know that a vision board is a concrete representation of your desires and aspirations for a compelling life? They are also fun to create and can serve as an invaluable tool to motivate and inspire you towards concrete daily action in pursuit of your biggest and most important life goals!

A vision board is a sacred place that displays what you want in life. When you hang it in a space where you see it daily, your vision board brings your goals and aspirations to life…

So check out my latest episode on 5 MINUTES TO MINDFULNESS and take 5 minutes to create a vision board that will give you a clear picture of where you want to get to!

Why Tulum?

I was late when it came to ‘discovering’ Tulum. By the time I booked a vacation for my husband and I to explore Tulum, it had already blown up on Instagram, was considered a “Yoga Destination” and was featured as THE hottest spot to visit in various publications world wide. It was December of 2014, and Benjamin and I decided to have one last holiday before we were going to try for our first baby. I chose Tulum because of the yoga factor, and we were were searching for a place where we could ditch the alcohol and focus on clean eating and juicing. We certainly found what we were looking for…and then some!!! The beautiful long stretches of white sand beaches with aquamarine waters, dazzled my eyes. The countless yoga shalas to practice in, soothed my muscles. The incredible array of fresh fish, ceviche, fruit and juice nourished my body, and the magic of it all fed my soul. In many ways, Tulum awakened my senses. The gentle reminders on various road signs like “Stay Present” and “Follow that Dream” kept me in the moment.

The variety of places to explore ignited the adventurer in me. The hidden gems on the jungle side of the beach road sparked up the romance with the soft music and candlelight. Tulum sounds like the ocean, smells like copal, tastes like mezcal, feels like yoga bliss, and looks like paradise. However, waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each day was perhaps my most priceless experience. On any given morning I would see many gather on the beach for the sun to rise. Some would be walking the shore, others would be practicing their Sun Salutations, I even encountered a gorgeous topless opera singer who would serenade the sun with her voice. She reminded me of one of my dearest friends, and I was drawn to her freespirited fiery soul. I myself looked forward to the ritual of the sunrise, and envisioned my own dreams by manifesting them in those quiet moments before the day began. Perhaps Tulum is part of the reason I got pregnant with my first without ever trying. I literally got home after our first visit to Tulum, and within a week conceived. My soul had been satisfied, my heart was full and I set my intentions on that sacred beach the Mayans discovered centuries before.

Tulum-RuinsOver the last 3 years we have visited Tulum a handful of times and I’ve comprised a list if my favorite places to enjoy while there.

YOGA

Offers an incredible array of yoga classes in a beautiful jungle side yoga shall.

A stunning yoga studio right on the beach, offering the most exquisite view.

One word: MAGIC

BEACH CLUBS

Good vibes, amazing mixologists, and great daybeds to post-up on.

This place has a fun atmosphere with a caribbean feel.

BEACH DINING

Italian food, extremely romantic, and beyond charming.

Authentic thai food with the best view in Tulum.

Gluten, dairy, grain and refined sugar free food. SOOO delicious.

JUNGLE SIDE DINING

Argentinean steakhouse with a beautiful ambiance.

EVENING COCKTAILS

A magical mezcal bar to enjoy a cocktail or dinner, then dance under the palm trees and disco ball.

Really romantic place to settle in and try an array of fabulous cocktails.

DOWNTOWN TULUM

Located on the best block in downtown Tulum and my favorite place to get caffeinated. Also next to the best bar downtown that serve fresh mojitos right out of an old painted volkswagen beetle.

Local dive. HUGE portions. The ceviche is ridiculously good.

Hi, I’m Tiffany and I’m an AquaHolic

It all started with a family trip to Venezuela when I was a kid. It was the first time I had ever seen water so blue…aquamarine to be exact. We were flying to a place called Margarita Island, and as I looked out the airplane window, I was dazzled by the various colors of aqua and turquoise below. Considering I grew up in Canada and had been accustomed to grey skies and cold weather, I was shocked that colors like this actually  existed in nature. That was it! I decided then and there that I was going to travel the world to discover the perfect white sand beaches and azure seas.

Fast forward to now, and while I have searched far and wide for the most beautiful beaches in the world, from the South Pacific to the Caribbean, Australia to Europe, Asia to South America, I’ve been blown away by the awe-inspiring pieces of paradise I’ve been blessed enough to visit. However, I realized over the years that it wasn’t enough for me to just visit these places, I wanted to choose one and live there… and this is where the story begins.

See this blog is called AquaHolic JOURNEY for a reason. I know it’s cliche, but it’s really not about the destination, it’s about the journey. If it had been up to me, I would’ve moved to a bohemian beach town years ago, but I’ve had to learn patience, which is MUCH easier said than done for me.

I also met, fell in love with, and married my soulmate, and somehow convinced him to take this crazy journey with me, although he didn’t need much convincing since he is a water lover also.

We have much more in common then our wanderlust and love of the ocean though. We are both Pisces, exactly one week apart in age, we were both born and raised in Canada, but are also American (thanks to each of our American Mom’s) and we adore our family. Oddly we met in Vegas where we currently reside, but that’s another story.

Back to patience…the virtue I just do not have (sigh) I’ve had to learn patience because my husband is rational and realistic, and I am a dreamer. Luckily for me he makes dreams come true, and he does so with careful thought-out planning. Needless to say we put our plans into motion, and have been moving forward, albeit slow and steady. Not to mention our plans have changed and evolved over the 8 years we’ve been together, and so have we. Our goal is still same, but we certainly upped the anti…We started out as a young couple without a care in the world and no responsibilities, to a more practical duo who got married and bought a house. After a lot of work and saving, plus a ton of market research in various beach locations around the globe, we purchased our plot of land in our dream destination. Now, we are ALL in with 2 baby girls, a mortgage, a motorcycle, some land and a dream… So THIS story is not so much about MY journey as a free spirited gypsy soul…because while I am still all of those things, I am now part of a fabulous and fearless foursome, and together WE are on an AquaHolic journey to living a life by the sea.

IMG_20170707_141402.jpg

This journey will include all things related to water in our lives, including my two natural water births I had over the last two years. It will cover the progressional steps we are taking to start our business, learn a new language, move to a foreign country with our beach babies in tow. Also, we may live in the desert right now, but I’m on the lake as much as possible teaching SUP Yoga, planning my yoga retreats, and using the water to get my pre-baby body back~ whether it’s through swimming or mermaiding;)

So if you’ve ever dreamed about leaving the rat race for the beach pace, my hope is our journey will inspire you. Even if you are choosing to live a more authentic life by tapping into your own dreams and pursuing them, I would love to know what your passions are!! It takes courage, faith and perseverance to make a dream become reality, so be prepared to hear the up’s and down’s and everything in between when it comes to ours.

I’m Tiffany and I’m and AquaHolic. Who are you, and what are your passions?

Embrace Your Wild Woman Spirit

A Journey to Self-Discovery in the Riviera Maya

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and reconnection with your primal nature? If your heart is saying “YES,” you’re invited to join us at the WILD WOMAN Retreat in the enchanting Riviera Maya, Mexico, from March 3rd to March 9th, 2024. This retreat is like no other, and it’s inspired by the age-old archetype of the Wild Woman – the untamed, free spirit within us all. It’s a magical opportunity to rediscover your true, wild self.

Tapping into Your Inner Wild Woman

We all have an untamed, passionate, and fierce energy within us. It’s the Wild Woman, and she’s calling you to reconnect with her. Here are a few suggestions on how to tap into your inner Wild Woman, even before you arrive in the Riviera Maya:

1. Embrace Your Authentic Self

The Wild Woman is your authentic self, free from the roles and expectations society places upon you. Begin by embracing who you truly are, unapologetically. Release the need to conform and allow your unique essence to shine.

2. Reconnect with Nature

Spending time in nature is a powerful way to awaken your primal instincts. Take a hike in the woods, swim in the ocean, or simply sit under the stars. Nature has a way of grounding us and reminding us of our connection to the Earth.

3. Celebrate Your Feminine Essence

Your feminine energy is a wellspring of wisdom and strength. Embrace it. Dive into practices that honor and celebrate your feminine essence, whether it’s through dance, meditation, or simply nurturing your own well-being.

4. Tap into Ancient Rituals

Our retreat offers an opportunity to explore ancient rituals and ceremonies that connect you with your inner Wild Woman. These practices can be profoundly transformative, helping you release what no longer serves you and step into your true power.

5. Build a Sisterhood

Sisterhood is a powerful force that can lift you up and support you on your journey. Joining a group of like-minded women, as you will at our retreat, can provide a network of support and empowerment like no other.

The serene beauty of the Riviera Maya will provide the perfect backdrop for our journey together. It’s a place where you can truly connect with your inner Wild Woman and allow her to shine brightly.

If you’re feeling the call to unleash your Wild Woman and dance under the moonlight like never before, this retreat is your opportunity.

Secure your spot today

Spaces are limited, and our intimate retreats tend to fill up quickly. Visit our link for more details, including the full itinerary and pricing information.

Your Wild Woman is calling, and she can’t wait to meet you in the Riviera Maya. It’s time to embrace your Wild Woman and allow her to lead you to a life of authenticity and empowerment.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out to me personally at Tiffany@aquaholicjourney.com

Let’s embark on this journey of self-discovery and sisterhood together. It’s time to embrace your Wild Woman, and I can’t wait to be your guide.

Trauma Informed Yoga and Somatic Healing Certification

Welcome! Chances are you ended up here for a reason. More than likely, you suffer from trauma, or know someone who has. Traumatic events are a near-ubiquitous human experience. A general population survey conducted in 24 countries showed that more than 70 percent of respondents experienced a traumatic event.

This 20 hour course is about Trauma Recovery, and the healing journey of empowering yourself and others with research and science backed methods to self-regulate. Anyone and everyone who has been through a traumatic experience, who leads a stressful life, or who wants to continue their education and grow their own practice, will benefit from this training.

Trauma disconnects the body from the mind, and this practice reconnects them.

What is trauma-informed yoga?

Trauma-informed yoga describes an approach to the practice that addresses the specific needs and symptoms of trauma survivors.

This form of yoga may include self-regulation strategies to:

  • increase body awareness (interoception) in a safe and controlled way, which can promote feelings of physical, emotional, and psychological safety.
  • address nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, and feelings of disconnection from the body or surroundings, which are common after experiencing trauma

What are Somatics?

Somatics describes any practice that uses the mind-body connection to help you survey your internal self and listen to signals your body sends about areas of pain, discomfort, or imbalance. These practices allow you to access more information about the ways you hold on to your experiences in your body.

​What are the Takeaways?

  • ​After completing this training, you will qualify for certification, and the Yoga Alliance recognizes this course as 20 hours of CEUs. You do not need to be a certified yoga teacher to attend the course for personal development, and no yoga experience is required.
  • You will be able to adapt your current yoga offerings to make them more trauma sensitive.
  • ​You will be able to view yoga classes through the trauma lens and make intelligent, compassionate choices about the class environment, sequencing, choice of asana, pranayama, meditation. 
  • ​You will appreciate who you are in relation to a trauma survivor’s recovery.
  • ​You will gain practical insight into dealing with dissociation and dysregulation in yoga classes as well as the importance of steadying your own nervous system first – co-regulation is key. (This one really reduces the fear of working with trauma).
  • ​You will be able to compassionately and confidently handle students who are dismissive, aggressive or demanding, and not take it personally when understood through the lens of trauma. (Many people wished they’d learned this sooner!)
  • ​After completing this course you are eligible to take part in online mentoring to get support, refine your skills, ask questions, discuss challenges and go deeper. Find out more.

🌕 The Aquarius Super Full Moon – Ignite Your Inner Vision

Dear Moon Lovers,

Greetings to all cosmic enthusiasts! Tonight, an extraordinary lunar event awaits us as the Super Full Moon graces the skies in the innovative and open-minded sign of Aquarius. This rare occurrence, known as a Supermoon, brings with it an amplified surge of energy, encouraging us to embrace our uniqueness, connect with our inner visions, and foster a sense of community.

Full Moon in Aquarius: Embracing Your Individuality

Aquarius, the water-bearer, is known for its visionary spirit and desire to create positive change. As the Moon reaches its fullest phase in this sign, its energy encourages us to break free from societal norms and embrace our individuality. It’s time to celebrate your quirks, embrace your eccentricities, and let your authenticity shine.

This Super Full Moon also highlights the importance of community and collaboration. It reminds us that we are all interconnected and that working together can lead to a better world. Embrace the sense of camaraderie and find ways to contribute positively to your community, whether locally or globally.

Journal Prompts for Activation

To make the most of this potent lunar phase and the Supermoon’s intensified energy, grab your journal and a pen. Spend some time reflecting on the following three journal prompts to activate your inner vision and harness the transformative power of the Super Full Moon in Aquarius:

  1. Embracing My Uniqueness: Take a moment to appreciate and embrace your unique qualities and talents. How can you celebrate and express your individuality more authentically in your daily life?
  2. Visions of Positive Change: Reflect on the positive changes you envision for yourself and the world around you. How can you take inspired action to manifest one of these visions into reality during this Super Full Moon?
  3. Community Connection: Community plays a crucial role in our lives. Consider the various ways you can contribute positively to your community, whether through volunteering, supporting local causes, or fostering a sense of unity. How can you strengthen your community bonds during this potent lunar phase?

Remember, the Super Full Moon’s energy amplifies our intentions and emotions, making it an opportune time to set meaningful intentions and take decisive steps toward personal growth and transformation. Use this cosmic energy to align your visions with your actions and propel yourself towards positive change.

May this Aquarius Super Full Moon illuminate your path and inspire your journey of self-discovery.

With celestial blessings,
Tiffany Zoldan

(P.S. Mark your calendars for the upcoming New Moon in Leo on August 16th, where we’ll delve into the power of self-expression and embracing our inner fire!)

Finding Balance by way of the Archetypes

Last year I leaped into the ARCHETYPE rabbit hole, and took a deep dive into self discovery. 

I reconnected to my long lost ‘MAIDEN’

I bowed down the ‘MOTHER’ within me

I embodied my ‘WILD WOMAN’ unapologetically

and I explored the depth of my ‘WISE WOMAN’

In a way fell in love with myself again, and that has been the greatest gift of tuning into these feminine Archetypes.

Now, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows…these Archetypes have their shadow sides, and when doing the inner work of the ARCHETYPE’s we discover that these ‘negative traits’ we have, tend to reveal themselves when we are misaligned.

As always, everything in Life is a Balance.
 
So speaking of balance, next month on Sunday May 7th, at 7 pm EST, we will be exploring the Archetypes during our monthly Dream Weaving Women’s Gathering!!!

Subscribe to get access to the Dream Weaving Women’s group for our Monthly Live Gatherings and Newsletter.
We gather on Zoom where I guide energetic activations, intention setting, and soul work, as we share wisdom and explore sacred topics.

Ancestral Healing

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Nova Scotia, Canada to visit my grandmother for the first time in five years. Between her move to The Maritimes, and my move to Mexico, plus the Pandemic in between, it had been way too long since I held her hands.

This trip was even more special because it was a girls trip my sister and I made together…with her new baby girl. It’s hard to describe the emotions I felt seeing my niece in the arms of my grandmother (Nana), but I found myself in awe of our four generations of life. I took a mental imprint of how their hands intertwined ~ an elder and a baby. My Nana’s weathered with age and experience…shaped by the five children she raised, the nine grandchildren she nurtured, and now the eight great grandchildren she has held.

Being in her presence inspired me in many ways, and one of them is to take more time to heal ancestrally. 

Trauma can be passed down 7 generations!

You are a unique individual. Everything about you is completely one-of-a-kind from your fingerprints to the way your DNA expresses itself to your gifts and personality. However, as unique as you are, you are also the product of a long line of people that have come before you and everything that they experienced also lives in your cellular memory. We inherit our parents and grandparent’s stress responses and unhealed emotional wounds and unfulfilled dreams.

If you are curious about Ancestral Healing, join our online Dream Weaving Women’s Circle to learn more.

On the 7th of each month, at 7 PM EST, we will gather on Zoom where I will be guiding energetic activations, intention setting, and soul work, as we share wisdom and explore sacred topics.

Subscribe to get access to the Dream Weaving Women’s group for our Monthly Live Gatherings and Newsletter.

Each gathering will be recorded if you are unavailable, and will be followed up with a Newsletter.

See you soon dear siSTAR!

Manifesting with the New Moon

Regardless of whether you call it manifesting, setting intentions, praying, dreaming etc. We are all essentially capable of calling in our greatest desires. Through my own manifestation process (by most of which has been explored through trial and error) I have come to appreciate one very important factor that has amplified my abilities in actualizing my dreams; the moon! For the last 7 years I have truly attuned to the cycles of the moon, and I purposely engage with its powerful energy each month to manifest.

Energetically speaking, this weekend is pretty potent. We will be experiencing a new moon in taurus, plus a partial solar eclipse! Whatever comes up with this new moon, it’s highly likely the effects could be felt for up to six months after the eclipse. If you haven’t tried manifesting with a new moon yet, this weekend would be a great time to start!

When the moon is dark, we are able to tap into a little window of time when the universe is most receptive to initiation. Generally speaking, during a dark moon we plant the seeds to initiate our intention setting. You can do this by:

  • Finding a quiet space.
  • Turning the lights down low.
  • Closing your eyes.
  • Taking a few deep breaths.
  • Sitting in stillness with your imagination running wild.
  • Centering yourself to now focus on exactly what it is that you want.
  • Visualizing your greatest desires until they become super specific and clear (I always write mine down to maximize the results.)
  • Once you have your list, energetically give it away unto God or the Universe, and fully surrender your trust. (If you wrote down a list, you can burn it to emphasize the process of letting go.)
  • Last but not least, live in the moment, as if you already have the dreams you are manifesting.

Happy new moon, and please subscribe for more tips and wellness offerings.
