Nurture Your Nature

As a healing practitionner, shadow work, is my area of strength and most expertise.....clearly not in typos, grammar and marketing lol

Shadow work has always been woven throughout all of my work over the years because it's who I am, I can't even talk about my life without talking about constant rebirth

It's not felt tragic because Creator equipped me with everything I needed, including eternal optimism, the clear knowing that id always be ok and the fire to alchemise anything

A hard path I subscribed to for far too long
but as you know, now I choose the path of ease

I actually never really liked the term 'Shadow Work'
I thought it was kitschy but it's a term people have come to know, so I use it

I've always believed in and focused my energy on
WHOLENESS & INTEGRATION
I could always see the truth about the duality of  light + dark, that the separation was an illusion distorted by a patriarchal system + society
leaving many rejecting and fragmenting themselves in fear of the dark and chasing the light
programmed to seek externally where they feel internal lack
and the root of lack is in our shadow work,
and it's a cycle that keeps people disconnected from themselves

Where are you still fragmented ?

Call all of the pieces of yourself home

All of the pieces stuck in time, stuck in old stories, the pieces you've rejected

You can not discard ANY PART OF YOURSELF

when we properly tend + nurture + be with ourselves
we outgrow, we integrate, we mend, we heal

Shadow work is LOVE, COMPASSION, ACCEPTANCE, TENDERNESS, REMEMBERANCE
ALCHEMY

You are wHOLY

Happy Easter Weekend btw
I'm not religious but Jesus knew about death and rebirth....just sayin....

If you wanna dig into some shadow / wholeness / healing work, whatever you wanna call it, feel welcome to reach out

and if you wanna trek up to Stó:lō Territory
come see me, my door is open, let's co-heal

I'm here for resonance + alignment + ease

a message from Redflowering Currant

My admiration and draw to plants has always been
but a reciprocal relationship with them in this lifetime has been more recent in the last 5 years and a beautifully slow paced remembering + blossoming 🌸

Im not great at retaining information, especially information that is read
however lived wisdom - overflows

I learn through embodiment, experience and hands on, heart and two feet in 'kind of doing'
and spirit + my guides know that,
so my life has been fruitful with a spectrum of experiences to provide me with lessons to turn into wisdom

I misidentify plants that I have not yet built a relationship with all the time
and it has made me a little more cautious to work with them personally if they have not directly called to me

I properly met and connected with Red Flowering Currant for the first time exactly a year ago
I was moving through some very deep seeded patterning/wounding, grief and fear of change.

We had sold our beloved house and we had not yet found a home to relocate (another long story but iykyk)
I was deeply connected to + healed by the land, mountains, house + energy there but it was clear that that chapter was ending

One morning last April I was walking along the river and I saw RFC in full bloom
I could smell, feel and hear them drawing me over. It was so comforting.
The next day at home I couldn't stop thinking of them, I even dreamt of them
so I returned to gather a few branches

Thats when i learned of their message + essence and everything came together so tenderly

REDFLOWERING CURRANT
brings to awareness deep known + unknown fear, engenders forgiveness + compassion for yourself and whatever is triggering the fear response,
then transforms the fear into feeling safe, protected and lightness
They encourage you to joyfully + confidently engage life from the understanding that this transformative process is in alignment with your soul’s purpose

Their message came through again today,
maybe it will reach and land within you
💞

welcome APRIL and in person healing sessions

over winter I made the decision to focus my time and energy on IN PERSON community offerings
and focus less in virtual space

I feel most in my power and potency face to face, heart to heart and physical closeness
and I also think we can all really benefit from physical togetherness and touch right now

the sacred role of guide, healer and space holder chose me
and I know what a profound honour and responsibility it is, one that I don't take lightly
I've been showing up in this role for almost ten years and my work continues to evolve and shift as I do, especially through re-memberance and decolonial work
I am not a business and therefore I don't market myself as one
most of the folx who find and come to me are all by way of referral and I cherish that resonance and how we are divinely guided to one another

because this work will always be RELATIONAL to me and not transactional
offering in person helps me to keep it this way and affords me a greater capacity to restore community, check in, maintain and tend to these relationships

It is also a built in filter that puts more accountability on you
to discern,
to be ready,
to commit to your healing
because I'm not easily accessible
I mean getting here is a journey in itself,
a beautiful meandering scenic one 💚

so enough chatter
my calendar is OPEN for the month of APRIL
for in-person healing sessions
if you are in so-called Vancouver + lower mainland, Fraser Valley, Chilliwack
and want to trek up here to Stó:lō tertitory
and share physical + psychic space among the mountains, magnolias and cedars
I would be honoured to support your healing and homecoming

The equinoxes are BRIDGES
and the vernal equinox is the bridge between endings and beginnings; the threshold into a new cycle of birth and growth
the autumnal bridges beginnings with endings; the threshold into the cycle of release, decay, death and regeneration.

The equinox is the midpoint on the bridge
where polarities come to meet in the middle,
teaching us about balance and harmony

We are living in contrasting times
where everything seems to be amplifying
all that divides humanity
PISCES season really highlights this energy with divine timing guiding us toward the need for bridging

Changes of the outter and our inner seasons
are the rhythms and cycles of our spiralic life and nature,
when the seasons change,
when transformation occurs,
there is always a gradual process of TRANSITION
it doesn't happen overnight, we've been in process and transition for sometime
It's layered, interwoven and nuanced

Equinoxes remind us to bridge
polarity + duality + binary,
to embrace the full spectrum
the time of transition
that we can hold both/and
that we don't have to just be in one thing
that many things can be happening and carried at once

BEING IN CONTRADICTION
is an authentic human response
because life isn't binary
to choose only one reality, one emotion, one side, one perspective is self abandonment and bypassing the beauty of existence

we want resonance, alignment and flow

everything in the natural world is interdependent + interwoven + intersectional + interconnected

a web
a tapestry

Equinox + Equilibrium + Equity + Equality + Equanimity

as we embark on a new cycle may we bridge
equinox blessings everyone
see you on the middle path

my great grandmother knelt down on a knee and with her brown weathered finger drew a circle in the sand around me
and said -
all our wisdom is in you
claim it
trust your Self
your medicine is in simplicity
and you will heal others
by being

this is ancestral love

Motherhood is so polarizing
The energy of the 222 portal has not been all love + light for me,
and for those of you that were expecting that and didn't feel this way,
or expected everything to fall into place miraculously,
this is often the harm of mainstream spirituality
the accountability is ours to continue excavating a little deeper and beyond what lies on the surface
a gentle reminder that we always have to do the "work"
The work doesn't have to be strenuous,
sometimes it is as simple as saying yes or no
sometimes it is uncomfortable
sometimes it is resting and surrendering
it always requires an effort on our part
it requires us doing something different from our habitual patterns
because we are co-creators

222 is a portal - like the birth canal and birth is BOTH contraction AND expansion

As I grow in awareness and skill through a lifetime of healing and integration, I still confront wounded parts of myself daily - mostly mirrored to me through motherhood reflecting my "best" and "worst" (I use these words to continue highlighting polarities as I hide in my bedroom after yelling at my kids for yelling at eachother)

and it's OK
and I'm grateful for the reflection
and I'm kind to myself
and sometimes that kindness comes after self criticism as repair
and every moment is an invitation and opportunity to try again, to respond, to practice

holding BOTH / AND has been the illumination for me
I want to embrace all of me as I grow and learn and heal and care take

this is shadow work
this is harmonizing
this is integration
this is grounded + spiritual work
this is weaving new ways
☯️

the mountains, the sky, the trees, the birds are also our relatives....our family
Family is more than blood family

what if we were all family ?

what if we look to nature and observe how everything exists in harmony
harmony requires adapting, pivoting, evolving, ebb + flow
It's not perfect balance or static balance
everything moves and flows
everything affects everything

maybe among all our differences, our uniquenesses, we can find ways to exist, live and thrive in harmony, as individuals and but part of a whole

pay close attention to what you're drawn to

these snowdrops caught my eye and captured my attention a few days ago. I walked over, knelt down beside them, cradled their little blossoms in my hand a few moments and snapped a photo.
It was our very first proper introduction and connection

all week I've been feeling this inner sensation of thawing out, especially in a heart sense
really feeling like my heart and spirit have been gradually warming and that any remaining feelings of coldness, hardness, rigidness from my dark winter cycle have been melting away.

I've also been really feeling a lightness and a childlike playfulness and curiosity coming back as I feel the inner and outer seasons transition into a new cycle and beginning

I never connected these feelings with the snowdrops or 'knew' their medicine until the following day, when my beloved friend sent me a message of snowdrop flower essences that she had recently received

and then it all came together 🤍🌿💫

It has been my intention to deepen my relationship with the plants that surround me, especially on the lands where I reside
I have books but I prefer the interaction to be as organic, natural and guided as possible

🥺 life is beautiful
Turn off the news

hey pamilya!
I am grateful that you were guided here and we together.

Rooted in the values of my Filipinx heritage of building a culture of peace, justice and spirituality, is the value of KAPWA: a recognition of a shared identity, an inner self shared with others. It means connecting myself with others, feeling myself in the other and having a sense of shared identity and a shared inner self. This kinship also extends beyond humans to being in relation with all; the land, plants, creatures, life and the unseen, like our ancestors and guides.

This is my foundation for building right relation and real community. I look forward to building with one another.
It's an honour to walk alongside you kapwa tao
💚🌿

hello to all the new comers here
and big love to all the ones who've been around
throughout the journey

I am Nicole
I dislike writing bios
or really anything that is complex but expected to be short + concise
Its my Piscean mind

Titles, labels, boxes feel really limiting
so I try not to use them
like u, I change as the winds change
I shed
I grow
I unravel
I unearth
I transform
I become
I refine
every day

this platform is like a virtual altar,
its an offering
Here I share my way + expression
I let the words, energy + images flow as they come

as an Aries Sun + Leo Mars & NN,
I lead by passionately BEING
to show that we can create
in our own ways,
and live connected to the land,
our own spirit, our ancestors, our shadow work
and our greater purpose
in our own ways

shadow work has been my path to expansion from the beginning but now I am initiated into my highest expression through EASE

Im introverted and selective with my trust,
energy + inner circle and very private
when it comes to my family, soul service work
+ extra sensory abilities but becoming more visible with them
in my own ways

sensing energy is my first language and it is how I am
equipped + skilled + guided to facilitate healing for others
in my own ways

through ancestral healing + connection,
I have come to realize that
I am a bridge
a bridge of my lineages
my matrilineal Ilocano + Tagalog ancestors + relatives
were/are warriors, healers, artists, musicians
and
my patrilineal Germanic ancestors, were nomadic peaceful people that lived in tight familial communities

both sides were rebellious,
fighting for their beliefs, traditions, families, communities
in their own ways,
both lived off the land and in connection with the land
in their own ways

I carry their wisdom, sacred practices, traditions, memories + heart in my blood, bones, dreams + hands
in my own ways

I am a bridge
of the past & future
of the seen & unseen
between the material world & spiritual world
between the land & cosmos

It's been a profound time of transformation
but what has always remained is that
I am nature
I am water, earth, air, fire, ether, stars + multiverse
and
I AM,
in my own ways
as are you
