Walk along a dry river bed, and you can hear the whispers of the water that once flowed freely. Its spirit lingers, wanting to once again soften the cracked earth, waiting to return.
Imagine this river flowing again. Its gurgling flow sounds like the laughter of water spirits, as they play, dance and swirl.
Along its banks, its fluid edges, the river connects with earth, with sand, with debris. It touches them, interacts, mingles: the water experiences earth, the earth experiences water. But the river is the river. It is always itself.
If the source to the river starts to flow less, then the river itself reduces in volume. It might form areas of stagnation, or places where it takes on the silt, mud, and debris that it touches. These edges become less distinct, not because there is something wrong with the river itself, but because its source is obstructed. In some places it becomes hard to tell where is river and where is earth.
But the river is always itself. It doesn’t have ‘boundary issues’, it has simply forgotten how glorious it feels to be full and flowing.
It doesn’t need to be channeled into a concrete container in order to maintain a sense of its own edges. Or to establish strong walls to keep the earth out.
It simply needs to reconnect to the source of its being.
Our energy flows like this river.
Clear. Strong. Fluid.

Our connection to our own heart— the source of our own flowing river— is everything.
When our connection to this source wavers, the flow of the river dwindles, and we start to notice ourselves being affected by things that touch, or impose upon our edges. We cannot control, or change them, so, to feel safe, we learn to put up the emotional equivalent of concrete walls.
But our energy is ours.
Like the river, we are always ourselves.
We do not need to create walls to keep the world out, we simply need to return to our heart-source, and allow the flow to return. This way, we are able to remain in relationship to all of the things that touch our edges. Not holding everything outside us like a fortress, but flowing and shifting together, like a dance of sovereign energies. We don’t need to use force to keep the rest of the world out.
If we feel as if we cannot find our own edges anymore, our only job is to return to wholeness.
When we do this, our edges once again become effortless places of relationship: ecosystems in and of themselves.
Full. Whole. Connected.

When our river-self is filled from the heart-source, our relationship with the things that are outside us, and outside our control, is completely different:
A dance of relationship; a fluid, shifting creation born of sovereignty and wholeness.
A place where we do not need to close ourselves off to feel a sense of self.
Where, like the river, we are always ourselves.
Thorn & Blossom is a journey to re-connect with your heart-source.

A 3-week journey, hosted in a private Facebook group (yes, you need a Facebook account!).
We start on June 21st, and end on July 12th.
With guidance and support, you will re-write the blueprint of your energetic edges from the source, learning to remain open, fluid, and full of your own being.
This course is deeply transformative, and also gentle. Much like the river itself, you will find yourself swept up in its energy. Playful, deep, and insightful. At some point you look up and realise that you are in a different place to where you stepped in, without having had to fight or struggle to get there.
Trust yourself.
Starting here.

If you feel called towards this journey, then step in.
If you are unsure, but feel drawn, take a moment to sink into the energy of the course, which is written into this page.
Take a moment to place your hand over your heart, and ask:
Yes or no?
The mind loves to jump in and try to control things, but this is an energetic journey, not a mental one. This is a journey of your heart, and energy body. Your mind is welcome, and will be engaged along the way, but the real shift will come from re-connecting into your deepest self and allowing that to fill you.
So it is not your mind, but your heart, whose response matters.
I have no desire to convince or coerce, only to invite.
Your excitement, and your heart’s yes is more important than anything.
If that excitement and ‘yes’ is present, then…

Rebecca, all this mystery is too much for me. I need:
