DIY Immersion
August, Phase 1: Prepare the creative container of YOU.
Minimum time needed: 30 minutes.
Its possible you’ll go deeper, for that you decide how long to dedicate, but at least give yourself 30 min...
A Ritual to begin
// Step 1: Find a quiet space.
Optional: Find a candle and lighter, and bring that with you to your quiet space.
// Step 2: Take ten slow deep breaths.
Feel how each breath softens your body.
// Step 3: Set an intention for this time. If you have a candle, light it as you say your intention.
If you’d like a suggestion.. consider committing to enter a space of presence, self love, no judgement and play.
First things first.
The first creative container we want to invite you to invest in, is yourself.
“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: ...So long as I get somewhere.
The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.”― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Sometimes, to look outwards, we need to look inwards first.
You know the WHO You'll learn the WHAT.
So let's start with the WHY, shouldn't we, butterfly?
Light up some candles, play some music and fire up your creative spirit.
Below are four images, each representing different creative ways to lean into your WHY
Pick one, pick two, pick all four!

Ritual Closing
Once you have completed your creative exploration,
Come back to center.
Come back to silence.
Come back to your breath. Place one hand on your heart, place another hand somewhere else on your body that needs love.
Thank yourself for this gift you have given yourself of time to lean in.
If you have a candle burning thank the fires of transmutation as you blow it out in gratitude.
Thank you for creatively exploring your WHY.
