new year - new decade

I hope this finds you at a moment in life where you are READY - to take on life, with all that it has to offer - to take on a new decade knowing you are worthy, loved and blessed - to live life to its fullest with an open heart, healthy boundaries and soulful connections.

Personally I am READY, more than I have ever been, for multiple reasons.

2019 was yet another year for me with great challenges, to name a few: taking my time to leave my company I didn't initially wanted to leave, adjusting to life without being a yoga studio owner and making my way back from maternity leave at the same time - being accused of being a bad mother, creating unhealthy environment for my children, by practicing witch craft (yes that is still something that can drag you into a dispute case this century) - and heartbreak, the big kind, that sends a shock waves through your system, officially = single motherhood to 3 children...

Each challenge was different, as they always are, needing different practices, tools, help/support and above all: more self love and care, to surface from.

In the depths of the challenging times in life, feeling alive, worthy and blessed is not a given! It is a Radical choice to choose your Self, when big waves knocks you over... I have started to calling it all RADICAL SELF CARE (you'll know that if you follow me on social media).

Over the years I have learned so many tools and practices, that these challenges don't get to take the best of me A.N.Y.M.O.R.E! I allow the emotions that challenges bring, to move through me, I give them time and attention (as much as they need), I practice with them, but I don't let them stay and drain me. I have come to see the challenges as growth material, a way to know my Self on a deeper level - a way to release parts of my Self that are no longer serving my highest good.

Before 2019 came to an end, I spent a lot of time contemplating my challenges (releasing what isn't serving), I have given gratitude to all my blessings, they are SO exceed all the challenges! I am truly blessed!! I have been setting intentions and laid out plans for this year/decade, we now have arrived into.

My 2020 started on a high note; with a pilgrimage to my spiritual home Avalon (aka Glastonbury, UK), where I go once a year, with sisters, to nourish and fill my own cup, my sacred vessel; on the sacred lands, cleansing in the holy spring waters, having deep conversations, doing rituals and pray. And so I planted my intention-seeds at the foothill of the Tor by the fairy tree the first weekend of 2020, just before the Full Moon, so they can grow in my spiritual home, as well as grow inside of me. Now I am home in Copenhagen, kids have started school and I am back at work READY to share and give.

The pilgrimage was well planned (I do have 5 plants in Virgo), as I need to be fully charged, when giving birth to my Awakening Sovereignty, immersions for women, Jan 31st. This is my HEART offering this year (and my intention is, to keep growing it through this decade)!

I am writing the very comprehensive manuel(s) these days. The Immersions are all about giving you practices to take home an incorporate in your life - so not just about the time we spend together, but practices to live more authentically from your heart in your everyday life; through yoga, rituals, prayer, shadow work, goddess wisdom and a deep dive into the divine feminine + so much more.

Each season has its own unique flavor and different practices, to awaken your sovereignty. They are individual, so you don't have to do them all (though it is very good to take the full wheel of the year journey). But I want to make it as accessible as possible for ALL women - and I know that very few plan a whole year ahead (that might only be extreme virgos like me;) )

It is all the practices, tools and RADICAL SELF CARE that I have learned and practiced for more than the past decade. I have transformed it all, into 4 seasonal immersions, as either urban retreats or retreats, where we will dive deep into the Self and learn how to surface from challenges, celebrate growth and fully live a life where YOU are the queen of your Sovereignty - taking you power HOME!

The first season is SPRING and starts with an Urban Retreat in Copenhagen Jan 31st. - Are you joining me? I really hope you are! This will give you the best possible start of the decade - fully invested in YOU - Awakening Sovereignty will be your journey home. There is still spaces available, but don't wait too long, we begin very soon.

Second immersion is a Retreat in Samsø May 7-10 (you should mark the dates and come - that Island is Magic!)

You can read much more about the different immersions and sign-up here on my website - go to each season to sign-up and see the schedule etc.

I hope to see you in the real worlds soon. Thank you for reading the blog!
And to all of you who have come to my yoga classes, rituals, retreats and workshop the past year/decade, thank you for showing up fully to grow - I bow to you, in love.

Many blessings for your year ahead.
