I am just back from the snow mounds of Canada for the last of my hibernation season. Coming back to NC was challenging as I realized it's time to truly focus on what my soul is longing to co-create and shift into that timeline. I woke up to the glory of this magical tree in my backyard as she waited for me to come home so I could witness her unfolding of beauty. No more

For the past two years my journey has been seeking expansion past all of my human limitations. I know, quite the task, right?! It was through this revelation that there is so much more than this human I know as Shawn McStravick and the identity, personality and expression that I have been living that sent me on a quest of who I AM outside of all the limitations I placed on myself.

For the next few months we are moving into a space calling for Divine rest. If we look toward what the Earth cycles are in the Northern Hemisphere, we notice she is going into that space of allowing parts of herself to die in order to rebirth in the Spring. The winter beckons us to go inward to honor the dark space of what is ready to die within us so that we may

I have been sitting in the space in between for a while now. The space of releasing old ways of doing things and creating the new way of being. There have been times when it is invigorating, exciting and living with such curiosity of what is unfolding before me. Then there are times of much frustration, severe discomfort because I cannot fathom what is to come. Questions of "what do I need to

Returning from a magical couple of days at the beach. Ah the beach....just feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, the ocean breeze blowing through your hair and the sand as it enfolds around your feet. Maybe take a moment to breath in and out with the waves. The moment I arrived my guides began to tell me it was time to let go of a bracelet that I have worn

I just returned from the most transformational week of my life walking the sacred land around Mt. Shasta, California. It has been 23 years since I went anywhere for over a week by myself. My intention was to completely follow my intuition and connect with a deeper remembrance of who I AM. The only preparations I had made in advance was my flight, accommodations and a rental car. After that, I had not

Last weekend I took myself on a 2 day self retreat to the mountains to connect and ground with the changing of the seasons. This time of the year calls me inward as the colors begin to fill the trees in celebration of their slow release to death. As I drew closer to my destination the sun was setting quickly and I knew I would not have cell phone service. Prepared for that,

The official first day of summer as we have the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Ancient civilizations built structures around the world to tap into the solstices as times of great wisdom and alignment. This was the mark to let them know when to plant and harvest crops. Whether we have a garden or not, we can still use this time to pause and evaluate our inner landscape and

Do not underestimate the power of this New Moon Solar Eclipse! Today this beautiful offering comes to help us bring completion to what you have been working on over the past few weeks. For some, you might be experiencing a deep sense of loss or grief, increased anxiety or other physical ailments. Letting go of old ways of doing, thinking and being can be the most difficult thing we can do because

As emotional beings, we tend to move in an out of times of ups and downs. Wrestling with things in our lives that can take us to greater depths of healing, change and understanding. For me, it was difficult to understand why or when these times would show up more so than others until I realized there was a natural flow happening in the world around me. Over the past few years

Family stories...we all have them. A story that we have been told our whole life about ourselves or another person in our family. A secret perhaps we were told to never repeat. Over the past couple of weeks it was brought to my attention that a family story I had been told for over 35 years was in fact, not truth. To be fair, there was some truth that was mixed in

As we enter into this New Year, may we remember the roots we planted from 2020; the things we learned, the connections we made with our selves and one another and above all how we can take better care of ourselves and our loved ones. Usually with a New Year comes new promises we make to ourselves, goals, visions and expectations, but what if we enter into this year with
