Thank you for being the form through whom I may know my Divine Self more intimately. In this final 9th month of my Awakening Shakti online programme, we are diving deep into the realms of Divine Union and, in its supreme intelligence, the Universe has gifted me a perfect experience to work with. As I have been processing a profound intimate meeting, this sentence popped into my head as I was out walking in this afternoon's luscious sunshine: Thank you for being the form throu

“Anger does not disappear as we evolve and in fact may become even more fiery, but it burns more and more cleanly, serving the well-being of all involved.” Robert Augustus Masters Having recently come out of an abusive relationship, I am, understandably, paying close attention to my boundaries.

Some time ago, I finally took the plunge and booked myself in to an ayahuasca retreat. It was something that had been a long time coming – over 10 years to be exact! I’d first heard of this plant medicine back in 2006, when my then lover complained repeatedly about how his ex had become rather fixated by it. Far from detracting me, this served to

Recently, I was blessed to interview the founder of Australia’s biggest tantra festival: Marion Ellyard, together with her partner, Ron Van Twuiver for my Heart to Heart youtube show.
