“Find a path with heart”… this was the message inside a fortune cookie opened in Boston in 2009… I’m glad to say I’ve followed it since 💌
But following your heart is not always easy!
In 2010, I auditioned for a full time classical dance training (having pushed my passion aside for a few years to pursue what was considered a “proper” education/career), this led to years of dance training, evolving from ballet into contemporary, discovering improvisation, contact, physical theatre and collaborative practice …. and the biggest enabler in this journey was & still is travel!
Living in Berlin, projects and residencies in USA, France, Netherlands, Greece & across Ireland- opportunities to study, dance, train, perform, teach, collaborate & create… this has been the greatest gift!
No day ever the same✨
All the while, I paralleled my artistic passion with holistic practices to sustain and nourish my body, and support the resilience needed for the mind in such a disciplined and challenging art form & the volatile uncertainty of the arts.
My path and experiences have deeply informed the embodied journeys and creative wellbeing and integrative healing practices I have developed and shared over the last +10 years as a facilitator and guide.
I share what I’ve discovered and used to support my path to:
+ Empower people to align with their heart
+ Trust their instincts
+ Resource themselves to express and live a life authentic to their passion & purpose!
We all know it’s not easy carving your own path, the obstacles are many whatever path you choose so it might as well be YOUR path!… it’s always ALWAYS worth it!
& it’s NEVER NEVER too late! ⏰
This leaf was on my path hiking in Thailand – the tiny heart-shaped gap jumped out at me from below, reminding me of this message from years ago! 💌
It’s easy to cast our dreams aside … we just need to slow down enough to catch its whisper and understand its call…
💛Walk slow, slow down, stop
✨Feel the messages of your body
💛Notice what inspires & excites you
Follow that joy!
And ALWAYS value the wisdom of your heart ✨🐾🥰
What messages/ symbols have crossed your path that made you take a different direction (big/ small)?? 🐾🗺
I’d love to know! 💌
