Good morning love! And happy equinox to you 💚 Firstly, welcome to all the new friends who have landed here. I'm so happy we get to meet and I know many of you are planning on joining the call on Monday so I'll see you then - there will be a recording sent out on the Tuesday if you can't make it. It’s been two years since I had my big awakening out of the humble healer identity and I am astounded by how much has happened since I stepped into the school full time in January 2024. For 10 years, I held the story that I couldn’t make money as a yoga teacher. It was a stubborn story and, of course, it had some truth to it, so I stayed in the safety of the known, in my brand consulting and copywriting business. One day, in early 2023, a messenger came to me in the guise of a 65 year old accountant who challenged me on why the yoga business had never made any money. I held Samāveśa with so much reverence and regard, not wanting to taint Her with money and business, but it was stifling Her power, creativity and reach. I was all bound up in my 'simple humble yogini' identity and I was having a lovely time with my simple life, my practices, my steady income, my dreamy Bali life and our small and perfectly formed community. But was that truly in service of the collective or was it more in service of myself? I went through a big dissolution process, did a lot of learning, got smart and the community grew, the offerings spilled over, the trainings got fuller and I got so busy with Samāveśa that I closed Found For Words Ltd in January 2024, just as the creep of burnout was starting to show. I now have space and time to pour all my energy into my great loves - you, this community, my family and the Goddess. It has been so heartening to see the participants of How Not To Be A Humble Healer 2024 thrive and my wish is to share that knowledge and inspiration more widely. So you can be in service of the whole in a way that is bold, brave, aligned and utterly yourself. So you can have financial stability and pour it back into your families, communities, schools, studies and yourself. Come along to the webinar. Its free. In love, flame, financial resource and service. Collette ❤️🔥
P.S. If you are new here then please enjoy all the free gifts on the Samāveśa platform. You'll find over 16 hours of meditations and classes here and a month of silence here. |
I’m an Embodied Flow™ facilitator, Senior yoga teacher, devotee, Tantrika and humble shepherd of the Samāveśa School of Yoga where I offer online and in person trainings, courses, retreats and community. Each week I send out a love letter with everyday esoterism, applying the teachings of non-duality and yoga to our daily lives. I share honestly and authentically and there is usually a free meditation, an offering or an invitation of some kind to help you connect with your body, the moment or each other.
Good morning love 🖤 I was talking with a dear friend the other night who asked me to share more about the last year and this wild descent. About midlife, individuation and how I’ve been experiencing it. I didn’t know where to begin. To attempt to articulate the layers and levels of animacy, synchronicity, archetypal forces, real life magic and deep alchemy that has gone down. Along with bottomless grief, unbearable pain I never wanted to face, a reality I wouldn’t have been able to fathom...
I was looking for a teacher, I found a lineage. I was looking for a practice, I found a path. And somewhere along the way, without quite knowing when it happened, I found my people. And they are all my Teacher. They all point me back to Source. Lib Hello love, I struggle with the guru-student relationship but finding a teacher was a necessary step for me and perhaps it is for you. In the past, when people have asked me about a 200hr training I have always advised to find a teacher, not a...
Morning love 🙏🏻 It feels like Autumn outside. A whisper of cool wind and the foreshadowing freshness of everything falling away. A year to the day, I journeyed to Greece for what would be a life changing pilgrimage. Today I find myself, once again, packing headscarves and floaty dresses but this time to follow the call of the Magdalene 🌹 She is the rose, the Divine Mother, the first Apostle, the Sacred Whore. A leader, healer, teacher and, for me, a bridge into wholeness. Both thorn and...
