making space for something new
what is it that you are missing?
When I reflect on my life, the moments I remember most are the one’s of true connection.
The moments I’ve hiked mountains, wandered unknown streets in foreign cities, spent an evening at a restaurant with my journal and book, all alone, and felt more full and alive than ever.
The moments where I sat on a hilltop in England, came to clarity in the forest, spent hours studying new plants, got lost in conversation, all with nature, and felt like I was surrounded by family.
The moments I ended up creating inside jokes and unbroken memories with a stranger, finally released my secrets to my best friend, shared tears lost amongst sweat drenched faces in yoga studios, all with others, and felt like an irreplaceable part of a whole.
And the moments where I’ve felt completely lost. Unmoored. Isolated, alone, disconnected. Like I was handed a fake map and a broken compass only met with closed doors and dead ends.
Those moments I remember most of all, perhaps. Because as I have wandered, and deepened my connections, I have also deepened my understanding that connection is the whole point - and our society is not set up to serve the connection we survive off of.
My moments of connection were not met because I followed the path paved and expected - but because I trusted myself enough to know I needed something different.
I have developed the relationship I have with myself because I chose to. I have developed the relationship I have with nature because I worked for it. I have developed the relationships I have because I committed to them.
Despite resistance, misunderstandings and discomfort. Despite locked doors, dead ends, broken bones. Despite judgment, embarrassment, rejection. Despite change, uncertainty, instability.
When I take stock of the soil nourishing my roots - I know what nutrients I have not yet found that inhibits my growth.

A space -
One that nourishes deep, stable, consistent and foundational community.
One that guides us to live intentionally, guided by intuition, in conversation with nature, alongside others.
One that supports us in designing a life created uniquely by us, for us
One that makes it easeful to live a life of presence amidst the chaos of the world .
One that encourages, in fact requires, us to show up, be seen, be ourselves, & become more of ourself.
I haven't found that space yet.
