September News from The Witch’s Therapist
Happy New Moon in Virgo from me, Maggie! If you are reading this it means you survived the multiple retrogrades!
I don't know about you but last month kicked my ass and I needed to take a time out. As I write this, I am deep in the woods where I've been allowing my body to soften into the massive moss filled forest and into the crystal caves in South River, Ontario (where this month’s photos are from).
This month, I've actually put the books away. Don’t worry, I'll be picking them up again soon enough but, right now, my body was simply asking me to open my ears and listen.
What I’ve Been Thinking About this Month
I've been thinking a lot about the roots of disconnection. As I sit in the forest, I notice how much I don't feel a part of it. I'm looking out into it, laying in its mossy embrace and yet, I can't help but notice that I feel like an outsider. When did this belief start? Where? Why? I have memories of being a deeply embodied child, losing my shoes in mud, making friends with the turtles. I suspect you have similar memories. So why do we feel so distant? So separate? As I sit here wondering where I learned disconnection and how those patterns emerge, I am also leaning into curiosity about how I will now learn to step back into deeper connection.
Work Updates
As the days slowly get shorter, as the call to come inside and curl up gets stronger, we find ourselves busier and busier at The Witch's Therapist. But don't worry, we still have capacity to take on a few more clients.
Additionally, Santyna is busy working on a course to help us form spiritual routines with consistency and ease. We'll be announcing that shortly but if you know you're already interested, reach out and will pop you on the wait-list.
There is also 1 more opening for the psychedelic healing retreat being offered by Maggie. If you are interested, more details can be found here.
