“It is in the wild places, where the edge of the Earth meets the corners of the sky, the human spirit is fed.”
- Art Wolfe
Dear friend,
It seems like ages ago since I last wrote, and life has taken some magic turns since the 11.11 portal. My womb told me to move out of the city, and in the midst of Covid fever, I had settled at the foot of Sølvsberget, in Gran, just north of Oslo.
The Earth is dripping with fresh source codes these days.. Wandering into the nordic winter lands, I see rainbows everywhere.. Softening our gaze, we can read between the lines of the Material Matrix.. She is preparing to awaken from deep sleep.. Preparing to stretch her fertile body towards the gleaming, honey~laced Sunrays..
Freeing myself from the shackles of the urban web, I found a deep sense of peace.. Longing for wilderness, hungry for space. A time for inner work, self-mastery, multidimensional energetic hygiene and a return to Sacred Union. I was welcomed into the cotton queendom of Winter, to pure elements and thoughts.
Coming home to my cycle, coming home to the silence of dawn, coming home to the quintessence of life.. The energy paths are clean here - we chop our own wood and drink water from a well. The forest is wild and inviting, the land and its creatures carry messages of old.
In the solitude of winter I am born anew. Deepening the dialogue with my inner Sun and Moon, I let go what is not meant for me and lick the dewdrops of each morning’s truth from the frozen waterlily leaves held captive by the ice on my inner lakes.. Intoxicated by the glistening sunrays on the crystalline surface, I exhale ~ wait.. Pause.. And allow myself to be absorbed in the bliss of the expanding moment..
Held by Nature, held by each activated cell in my body. Held by each tree present around me, each chirping bird and each wave kissing the shore.. Allowing her vibration to enter my own, becoming one with her ecstatic ripples and waves.. Mirroring her life force with mine, finding harmony and attuning to her flow.. Quiet. Solemn. Soft..
Days are spent melting in front of the fire, roaming the forests and exploring the edges of existence.. Trying my best to remain in an analogue reality despite the pressure of the digital realms. Winter also brought a deep-dive into nordic zen, inspired by the teaching of Thich Nath Hahn, a great teacher who recently passed. I find myself listening deeper, tuning into my centre from moment to moment, and following nature’s whispers as she flows through and around me - so gently, so softly - so simple..
In winter’s nurturing womb, we have also been busy imagining and birthing Pinecone Leadership, a platform for regenerative wisdom and practice. Pinecone aspires to guide and facilitate personal and professional empowerment journeys and cultivate a resilient ecosystem of conscious leaders in the nordics. We combine our nordic heritage, nature connection and ecosomatics with coaching, design and leadership development.
After having experienced the contractions of our current work ecologies on my own body, I was longing to build a workspace where my cycle was honoured and my feminine qualities are respected and nurtured forth. It is challenging to build a regenerative business without falling into old programming, especially when we are used to relying on these skills for survival, so I am facing some intricate navigation challenges.
This said, moving to Gran enables me to be closer to nature and uphold my dialogue with her magic on a day-to-day basis. The healing practice from Norwegian Sage will move to Glasshuset on Granavollen, and clients are welcomed to receive treatments and personal consultations. All the herbal remedies and flower essences from last summer’s harvest were distributed to the community, and I have been spending the dark days researching new blends for products and testing new formulas.
With the return of life in the soil, my sense of smell is also waking up after a mysterious cleanse… The first smell to arrive was the enchanting notes of Juniper.. The second was the sweet scent of my lover’s skin.. The third scent was Magnolia, flower of forgiveness.. And the forth was the aroma of Tiaré, whose essence helps us clarify imbalanced emotional turmoil by chosing love and detachment.. The Spirits of these beings are introducing themselves to me one by one, each with unique teachings..
I feel blessed to have been gifted the conditions to listen to and learn the whisperening ways of my Inner Nature ~ so I can share her voice with you. Scroll down to read more about seasonal offerings, upcoming gatherings and the upgraded marketplace!
With love,
