Why I Choose To Be A Gratitarian

  In response to the many reflections that I am observing lately around diet and food choices, I thought it would be an appropriate topic to pull out of my “to write” list. Before I begin I want to share that you will not find any external sources or appeals to authority in this blog – only that from my own personal experience – which may or may not be […]

Moving Into Conscious Relationship: Five Tips for Communal Living

Moving Into Conscious Relationship Five Tips for Communal Living   I would like to dive into a topic that has been a major theme of experience and reflection for me during the last few years.

Lunar Chakra Cleanse Lessons

Lunar Chakra Cleanse Lessons   A couple weeks ago I completed a cleanse that I created and named the Lunar Chakra Cleanse. It involved eating foods matching the colours of each of the seven chakras (ROYGBIV) during one moon cycle, four days for each colour for a total of 28 days. My main intention was to ‘mono’ eat (only one or two foods at a time) in order to isolate […]

Ripples of Effect  “How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” – Anne Frank A question that I often ask myself is, “how can I make the biggest difference in the world?” The magnitude of change required now to steer humanity back onto the path of natural balance is calling forth each of our individual gifts. Indeed, the steps required to repair our home […]

The whole arc begins this Friday, January 11th during the new moon phase and ends 28 days later during the next new moon. This full harmonic cycle is divided into seven smaller cycles of four days […]

Give Yourself Permission Part One

Give Yourself Permission Part One Last June I found myself being drawn to experience what it was like to fast for an extended period of time. Over the course of the two days of juicing and the seven days of only water, I remembered some incredible insights about my relationship with my body. I say ‘remembered’ because I believe that all we are really doing in this life is remembering, […]

The Transformational Power of Fasting: Goals

A few weeks ago I read a book titled “The Transformational Power of Fasting” by Stephen Buhner. The thread of ideas he wove around the tool of fasting were extremely thought provoking. The material presented can be confrontational to many people as it touches a deeply rooted relationship within us: our relationship with food. In an effort to dive within to uncover the essence of my connection with food, I […]
