Magical memories of being so fiercely and lovingly held by the forest!

The 7weeks I spent at the Yawanawa village of Mutum in Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon, at the beginning of this year, gifted me such a rich imprint of life’s great, tender holding. 

I am profoundly grateful to the Yawanawa and for their great care and firmness with which they welcome and accommodate visitors.

My time in the jungle was so profoundly fortifying of my spirit and grounded me so deeply within the arms of great spirit.

I could not have undergone this journey at this time without the immense loving support of my friends, family, guides, and in particular my two ex-beloveds, Greg and Alexandre. 

As I continue in my journey and in saying goodbye to these incredible love relationships that I have shared with these two beautiful, heart centred men, I feel in turn how the holding of the forest now carries me through this phase of life. 

The forest continues to resonate throughout my body as I navigate the immense loss of these love relationships. I feel that I am able to meet the grief of saying goodbye to these love relationships because of all that the forest gifted me. I am able to receive, feel, and move through me, the great missing of being in love relationship with these wonderful men.

And I am in awe of the incredible synchronicity that has been shown to me in this process. 

The human love in the form of these two love relationships, that bolstered me in venturing into the magic of the jungle and receiving it’s treasures in the first place, is now what I release within the great holding of the natural world that the forest imprinted within me. And so life’s cycles turn around and into one another within my fragile body and being. And to this I bow deeply.
