When we follow its thread of water, it leads us gently to our core where despite hardships we remained resilient and unbreakable. In a way – our tenderness is our hardiness because no thing and no one was capable of destroying that part of us…
Love & Prayer
There is incredible power to this kind of devotion; of a deeply spiritual act that kneels us each and every time like nothing else ever could. Prayer is an intimate love song through which we enter into a relationship with the divine. Prayer is an offering of ourselves wholebodily and wholeheartedly. Prayer, despite its gentleness, is never afraid and in our hardest times, it gets its feet dirty holding us…
Magic, Ritual and The Natural Connection
Magic is a shapeshifter. The alchemists described it as “the ability to turn lead into gold” or in other words, it is the ability to turn something mundane into extraordinary.

Exploring The Intimate Relationship
"Two lovers float entwined in one another, ensnared by their emotion. He envelops and engages; she resists and surrenders. They struggle as one with equal passion and with passion equally. She balances his head in her arms. She supports him and nurtures his soul. He...
Relationship Dynamics: Archetypes of Knights, Damsels, Kings and Queens
The knight’s armour symbolizes the shield to vulnerability; it is shining because he hasn’t gone through the emotional transformation yet – he is not emotionally mature. We can’t keep on saving and distressing just to feel needed and avoid true intimacy…
The Importance of Receiving and Interdependence, as Reminded by The Monks’ Alms

The Art of Loving
Let every day be a painting. We change constantly. Even after many years together with one person living under the same roof, we still change, and we need to get to know each other — explore each other — all over again each day.
