Welcome back + thank you for listening to the final episode of season 2 of The Sharing Circle.

We are met with thresholds of many kinds, not just the passing of the season.

How we navigate the threshold we are presented with, is a deeply personal journey, there is no one way to walk within the Underworld of our psyches, of our hearts + of the worlds. Yet, with that said, for part of the journey, we do not need to walk alone.

Autumn can be a reflective season, its energy is that of the harvest. Reaping what we have sowed, gathering fruits, flowers + stoking the fires in preparation for Winter. But of course, we are not quite there yet + once again, I am reminded to slow the pace, enjoy the now, for seasons always come to pass when they are ready, not when I am. So, how can we prepare for this threshold? How indeed ...

Welcome back to season 2 of The Sharing Circle.

You are the Daughter your Ancestors dreamed of.

Prayers, sung by the fire + carried into the inky, black liminal sky.

These prayers are ancient; weaved together through millennia.

Burning, in the heart of a lone Woman crossing a stormy sea.

In the dreams of a wise Woman, who patiently awaits the arrival of her final descent.

In the musings of silenced maiden, whose whispering faith, carried on the wind, beyond the silky veil of time.

You are not forsaken + you are not alone.

This episode is a call to create + a call to step into your authenticity as we transition into a new era.

Welcome back to season 2 of The Sharing Circle.

Night awaits + you are invited to sit with me beside Grandfather Fire.

This is a gentle five minute meditation moment to help you to lay down the day + feel the mossy earth beneath your feet in an ancient woodland.

For this meditation, there is no podcast introduction or outro, so you are welcome to listen before sleep + drift away to sounds of the fire.
