And there goes another month as we rush headlong into summer in the Northern Hemisphere - at least we have had a smidgeon (great word, 'smidgeon', literally meaning 'a little bit'!) of sunshine. It certainly does help to see some blue sky and what passes for sunshine here!
In the last newsletter, I mentioned that one of the things I was busy with was the design of a brand new website - this entails a lot of rewriting, reconfiguration, uplevelling etc, and one of the key aspects is a Brand New Logo!
I had 4 basic designs that I put to the vote on FB, and the clear winner is the one I in the header here. There is a lot of symbolic content to it, so I'd love to know how it speaks to you (if at all :).
Some of the logo symbolism feeds directly into the theme for this month's special Diamond class - which is actually on 1 May as opposed to April. It just worked out that way (I think you probably know by now that it's how I 'work' :) There is also an alternate version of the new logo on the sign up page for 1 May if you'd like to have a look!
As we flow into Friday's full moon is is clear that something is shifting. Many of you are already feeling it—a steady pulse
of transformational energy building toward a powerful surge at the
year's midpoint in June.
Whether you experience it as fatigue,
frustration, and conflict, or as growing clarity, a voice that refuses
to stay silent, or a deep detachment from the chaos of the external
world—you are part of humanity's great rising.
Over the March Equinox we had the 'Diamond Re-set', and The May 1st Full Moon ignites the revolution.
This celestial event is driving a profound shift from victimhood into Power,
awakening a fierce desire for true justice. The energy may feel
seismic—internally turbulent, externally disruptive. Physical systems
may falter. The ground beneath us may shake. But within this storm lies
opportunity.
An opportunity to welcome this great change, to cast off the hooks that have bound us into old beliefs, abuse-based systems and programs, and to reach deep into the reservoir of our unexplored depths to alchemise and ripple out the (updated) ancient wisdom we all carry.
For each of us, this journey is a unique experience, an adventure into long forgotten inner terrirtory and landscapes.
We are going to adventure together into this alchemical terrain in our class on 1 May, so I do hope you will join us! There are also some additional and new insights into the mysteries of water and our physical being that I will be sharing.
And a few days ago, I came across this beautiful poetic paragraph by Dr Jack Kruse that really spoke to me about our true nature and the journey each one of us takes. The phrase 'The Map is not the Territory' comes to mind - a reminder of the uniqueness of each and every individual experience as we walk this amazing terrain we call Life. Enjoy
"In the vast, untamed wilderness of
existence, where ancient trees whisper secrets to the wind and rivers carve
their truths into the earth, life beckons not as a mere song to be heard, but
as a rugged path to be walked. The wise ones, those who have danced with the
seasons and learned from the stars, offer you a map, etched not on paper, but
in the stories of their labour, a guide to navigate the sprawling unknown. Yet,
as the frost-kissed mountains and sunlit valleys teach, no map can carry you;
you must tread the terrain yourself, feeling the sharp stones beneath your feet
and the cool breath of dawn on your skin. For you don’t just listen to life’s
distant melody; you step into its wild embrace, becoming one with its rhythm,
its chaos, and its boundless wisdom. My work will give you a map created by
Nature about her rules of the game of life, but you will be required to walk
the terrain with your skin and eyes in her game all the while being grounded" Dr Jack Kruse
