Supporting your inner Fire Element Make a Happy

Supporting your inner Fire Element

Make a Happy List: Make a list of activities that bring you joy and make you feel happy. Come up with at least 20 items and keep going if you can think of more. Keep it where you can see it daily and choose to schedule at least one item (more is better) per day. Weaving happiness, joy and pleasure into your day keeps your Fire alive, allowing greater sparks of desire to come into awareness.

Write for yourself first.

Most of us learn to write for other people. Our initiation into writing is to be given a topic and then produce.

If you’re lucky somewhere in there you may have an opportunity to channel your voice but it will always be shape shifted to attain approval.

Not only that but it sets up an expectation that there’s always a finished perfected product at the end.

To unlearn this is to write for yourself.

To refine and claim your authentic voice.

To uncensored your thoughts

To allow writing to be the medicine for your soul.

WRITE.

Write for yourself

If it’s meant for other people, edit afterwards. 😉

This Sunday June 26th we are gathering for Fire Element - Solstice Writing Retreat. An intimate and sacred experience to support you in writing from your soul and letting your words come into the page.

I’ve been preparing for Sunday’s Writing Retre

I’ve been preparing for Sunday’s Writing Retreat (LINK IN BIO) and dropping into the Fire Element with the observance of Solstice. It feels kind of magical and I can’t wait to gather and write in community.

If you’ve been in my space for some time you know that Fire is a season that I struggle with. For so long my relationship to this season and element has been one that I’ve kept at arms length with resolve that I just have to put my head down and get through it.

Don’t get me wrong there are some lovely aspects of the Fire Element and even the summer season, they’re just not what come top of mind as I brace for an impending assault of heat and the chaos that I am accustomed to meeting at this time of year.

At least that’s been my experience until now.

Something’s changed,

Enough to notice that as I sat down to write this past week my associations have shifted. Yes, Fire can still be a bit chaotic, loud, hot and dramatic, but there's also this sustainable, enduring, warmth underneath that feels so attractive to me at the moment. In fact, I wouldn’t mind spending some time here.

Continued in comments ✨🔥

When you cast your vision out into the ethers, is

When you cast your vision out into the ethers, is it so wide and grand that you get paralyzed by the gap between where you are and where you wish to be? Even when you know with every cell in your body that you’re meant to embody that future you and all of their opportunities?

Does it make you question your vision and your dreams? I hope not.

Keep the vision, but instead of focusing so far out in the horizon, let your gaze refocus to what’s in front of you. Somewhere really close by is an action you need to take, a steady next step if you will that's available to you this instant. What ever it is, it has the momentum to carry you towards your bigger goals and desire.

The medicine of the Wood Element has the capacity to hold both the big all encompassing vision and all of the small and tiny actions that create the bridge from the here and now to the future.

Stay present to whats in front of you, small steps add up to great distances.

Writing prompt: What projects or steady steps are available to you right now that align with your vision?

If you are feeling called to spend more time with your inner knowing through writing prompts guided by the elements. The Fire Element~Solstice Writing is happening Sunday Jun 26th.

There’s this pervasive notion that channeling yo

There’s this pervasive notion that channeling your creativity needs to be done in isolation.

That being a creative is a lonely journey.

And, that doing deeper work is only possible when done in solitude.

Nope!

It’s so much more nuanced that this.

Yes, the Water Element is a huge player in assisting you in being able to hear your inner wisdom more clearly, and often this is done on a meditation pillow or a solo walk through nature. Whatever your process is.

But, all of the other Elements are also present and have their own medicine to help you tap in and bring your authentic expression outwards.

Sometimes...actually more than just sometimes, you need a little Fire to help shake things up and get the creative juices flowing.

The cure to a creative block is often to go out and do life. Reigniting the sparks of inspiration through community, celebration and spontaneity.

This also translates to those times when you find yourself in a life rut, uninspired by your routine, progress or current life circumstance.

The antidote is Fire. Your soul is craving community, warmth and fun!

This is the purpose to the Writing Retreats. To bring like-minded heart-centred individuals together and break free from our self-imposed creative isolation and write together. It's magical!

You are going to write your own work, it’s your soulful words that are going to find their way to your page. AND you're also going to have some fun delighting in a shared experience. You get to have both!

How perfect is it that this Seasonal Retreat is centred on welcoming the Fire Season. To light the creative spark and spend time with your soul’s desires.

Let’s make it a Soul-Led Summer with Intention.

I hope to see you June 26th LINK IN BIO
