Permaculture examines how actions within and upon a system should bring benefit to the system as a whole. When permaculture is applied to human communities and social systems we can begin to build holistic and sustainable foundations in our relationships, communities and networks. Social systems can be organized to be more egalitarian, less wasteful, and less damaging to the natural ecosystems and communities that they exist alongside and depend upon.

Sustainable change evolves from this heart centered place of mindful, positive intention.  I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about change, having been engaged in the field of international development for over 12 years…

The full moon is about illumination and completion.  What is being illuminated for you at this time?  What is coming to a close?  Where is your soul asking you to travel for your own personal growth and wellbeing?

Imagine if womankind decided to channel their love and generosity towards a collective dream of re-greening our world. Take a stand for trees this Earth Day as we celebrate TreeSisters, an organization aiming to heal our planet through community building and reforesting our worlds forests.

In my pursuit of healthy armpits, I finally stumbled upon a natural homemade deodorant recipe that works. What I like most about this salve, is that it takes 5 minutes to make and only requires 3 ingredients.

Our minds are pretty awesome – no doubt – our mind organizes our thoughts, helps us to prioritize, keeps us safe and regulates many of our bodily functions so that we don’t have to. Awesome. Thank you mind! However, if we are interested in truth, alignment and expansion, the heart is our champion. The heart knows what’s up and spending time developing a connection to and relationship with the heart is a beautiful way learn more about yourself and to receive guidance that is alignment with your highest purpose.

With the upcoming New Moon, we are gifted the opportunity to align our energy with the energy of the Universe and it’s natural cycles and rhythm. As the sky becomes dark, we are encouraged to focus our attention inwards. This is the ideal time to connect with your inner-knowing of intuition and connect to the seeds of your desires. It is a powerful time to practice the law of attraction.

March 20th at 12:15pm EST marks the time of the Vernal Equinox in the northern hemisphere. A day when light equals dark. A day to celebrate balance. A day to initiate and celebrate new beginnings, to plant the seeds of our collective future. As the sun moves into Aries, we once again find ourselves at the first sign of the Zodiac, the beginning of the astrological new year, and an auspicious time to take stock of where we are at, release what we no longer need and take action towards an optimal future state.   

It’s amazing what a difference knowing where your food comes from and who grew it makes. Eating and preparing food can shift from something that you do because you’re hungry to a satisfying ritual that you really enjoy. 

The truth is though, there is so much beauty in surrendering. The art of surrender requires you to get out of your own way and allow life to flow with grace, even though it may not feel or look that graceful at the time.

To do this, you must accept that what you’re holding onto, or what you are resisting, is not working. This requires trust. Trust that perhaps you are being guided in a different direction.

I had embarked on this journey expecting to deepen my practice so that I can support others to discover the benefits of Yoga. Yet what I learnt and experienced over the four week program progressed above and beyond my initial expectations.

The path to signing up for a Yoga Teacher Training is a teaching of yoga in itself. Learn how you can authentically live yoga and attune to your higher-self through your yoga teacher training journey. 

Our thoughts become our reality, therefore it is important to recognize which thoughts we're feeding. We must make a conscious effort to feed the ones that fuel our fire. 

As a nomad who has been physically uprooted for nearly a year now, I have found that yoga has become less about the physical practice, and more about a consistent uplifted mindset.
