Finding MY flow

Here we are. 2020.

I’m on this pursuit of finding my flow. Having a traumatic brain injury puts a new spin and speed for how and when I do things.

I REALLY want women to gather weekly, twice a week would be better. Participating in circle is like yoga for your spirit and soul. How it differs from yoga is the collective participation of witnessing each of our journey’s. It’s the dream. It’s my dream.

I think I’m finding my flow. I do things way slower, I take small bites out of everything, and chew way slower. While I wanted to see all your beautiful faces every week, my needs and my cup would have emptied in no time. I am so not back to “normal working Erika”… WOW I just wrote that. It makes me sad in this moment. That I’m not who I was. Yet, I am on this journey of finding my new flow within my body. So let’s take things a little slower, ya?

I’ve always been drawn to the moon, I look up at it all the time, I look at the stars, I watch clouds, I generally look at space. A lot, like took 2 semesters in uni for astronomy, because I love space.

Let’s take: my love for moons + my affinity for space + my socializing personality + toss in motherhood (cause why not…)

* Big Bang *

Mama’s Karma + Moon Circles are born.

Moon Circles:
I need to find my own rhythm, and hooking up twice a month to a regular event like full + new moons, feels aligned. So we can do a thing! We can create a tribe where we witness our own growth, have real talks, build community in a space of regular gatherings.

Mama’s Karma:
Mama’s... any mama... young babes invited, as long as they're not mobile.

Karma... the exchange. Energy is the ultimate exchange, sometimes we pay because we in some way did work to receive, to give something or make something... this is about building our tribe of sisters.

* Boom. Done. Let’s do it. *

This is a mum's circle, once every 3 weeks during the day on a weekday, by donation (value $10), doesn't have to be cash, can be a trade (like you read my meditation piece or share one you created, or read my circle invocation, or make tea at my house for the group), bring baked item or snacks to share, or nothing... because maybe you need to fill your cup (proverbial or literal) before you can give from it. I got you. It's all good.

It'll be by RSVP so I know how many people are coming. Location would by at my home. We will have circle and a ceremony / ritual. I am needing community for myself, where I can be me, Erika the person, the mum, the partner, the kickass sparkly sista.

Topics:

• sex (sexual health, intimacy with self + partnered)

• relationships single + partnered

• kids (littles, teens, adult children)

• pregnancy (birth, transformation, your story

• loss

• mental health

• food

• highs + lows of life

• Other... anything you want to talk about? I'm game for suggestions.

I need structure. As my ayurvedic coach has helped me realize “structure is freedom”.

The Moon Circles are already in action, next one is Jan 10th! The Mama’s Karma will be coming out Spring 2020.

That’s all for now. Thank you for listening.
