August brings the full heat and heart of summer. Longer days, slower rhythms, and a quiet invitation to pause.
This is your reminder to step back, go inward, and replenish yourself in ways that feel joyful, holistic, and nourishing. Whether that means traveling, reading, drawing, writing, visiting loved ones, or lounging by the water, follow what feels fun and life-giving.
Personally, I’ll be tending to my energy; healing my knee, sleeping in, swimming, and reading books that light me up. And yes, I’ll still be making mandalas. Always.
Here’s what I’ll continue to offer this month:
- Responding to emails
- Scheduling Discovery Calls
- Accepting Mother Wound Assessment requests
And here’s what’s always available on my site:
- E-courses
- Books
- Workshop replays
- Early sign-up for the Mandala Corner
Take time to recalibrate. Quiet the noise. Come home to yourself—even if just for a little while.
