I enter May with some excitement, relief, apprehension and hope.
We are moving towards Summer, and retreat season is starting for me at Echo.
It's a nervous time, but full of planning, plotting, creating and evolving.
May brings fire energy, turning the page and greeting that part of us that is bouncy and bright.
I love looking up the meanings of the month, old Almanac calendar teachings and why the months have their names.
The Gods and Goddesses that defined these seasons and can actually help us understand and move through the world with more ease.
So, here's my first question:
What are you passionate about?
---
Motherhood, whether we are a mother, have a mother or know one. We can relate to the symbol of the mother.
No matter who you are you can call on nurturing and firm foundations this month.
What does it feel like to hold, care, tend and mindfully take care of something. For ourselves or someone else...
Bring the FIRE!
Beltane is a magic festival, full of transformation, growth and possibility,

What simple pleasures can you bring into your life, that are healthy and supportive of your mental health?
FUN: when did you last have fun, like really? what activity or thing could you book that brings you pure joy?
FOCUS: If struggling to focus, try a simple meditation. set your alarm for 10 minutes and just watch your breath.
DETERMINATION: how are your reserves? are you flagging? get into nature, get creative, rest, stretch... find your passion and determination this month.
