Beginnings & Endings

---

With the turning of time we are always transforming, growing, healing and integrating. As we evolve we need to let go of what we have outgrown, to shed the old skin and create space for what is seeking to emerge through us. 

Every transition offers us a threshold to pause, take stock, and acknowledge where we have been and what we are stepping towards as we embrace the opportunity of a new beginning.

When we experience a rite of passage we return with a fresh perspective and a new and empowering story; one that includes a sense of personal responsibility in all aspects of our lives and beyond to the wider world. We are also connected to our community; past, present and future. Connecting to the spirit of our ancestors, to our tribe, and to the children yet to be born. We appreciate our place in the Whole and the knitting together of the generations.

Times of transition present a wonderful opportunity for reclaiming our power and giving voice to our dreams. Marking the end of a chapter and beginning a new one through ceremony and ritual encourages a deeper and more loving letting-go of the past and a natural alignment to our new path.

Since our culture has lost a great deal of our inherited traditions and ceremonies, it is up to us to listen within and to the wisdom of nature, to remember and reclaim the ways of honouring and celebrating our transitions. As we welcome these times of change, we merge with the greater flow of life and cultivate deeper trust, acceptance and gratitude for all that unfolds. 

This is where the magic lies...
