January + Roots
This Month, as we look to nature we see:
We are in the heart of the season of darker days.
There is a silence in winter, unlike summer, to enjoy and allow yourself to go inward more.
Nature does not recognize the gregorian calendar new year, so though you may be feeling a fresh start, this is very much an underground time in nature.
I believe deeply:
before you can be Fully rooted in your self you must face, accept, and integrate with your ancestors, Living + crossed over.
My Roots
The winter practice of connecting to my roots has deepened my understanding of my Irish and Celtic heritage. It has shed light on the stories of my ancestors, their successes and failures, their big personalities and equally as big blind spots. And guess what… it has helped me understand my successes and failures along with my big personality and blind spots.
What I know for sure is, my ancestors are in my blood and bones and the more I get to know them, the more I get to know myself. To the Sweeten Bilek Delage Ring (Reen) lineage, thank you…. for the complexity of your human-ness and your hearty laughs.

Everyone has a place
Enjoy this 10 minute guided meditation inspired by my experiences with my friend and Family Constellations therapist (also a fellow Soul Cabin member) Marine Selenee. In this transformational work Marine has taught me the power of accepting everyone in my family, but more specifically, where.
