October 2018 Shifting Seasons

October 2018 Welcome to the Dare to Blossom Newsletter Time sensitive announcment: your chance to join the October Dare to Blossom taster Circle Reflections: Shifting Seasons Silver Tent Radio Interview with Joni Advent Maher Ways to connect and Dare to Blossom News on my new book "The Pathway to Power" Time sensitive announcment: your chance to join the October Dare to Blossom taster Circle This is appearing at the top here as I wanted to offer you a chance to join the Circle that opens on 1st October. I know many of you choose to subscribe here instead of following my work and news on Facebook if you prefer not to be involved there. The latest circle has a private Facebook group, and the key part of the magic happens during the weekly live group calls on Zoom video-conferencing, so it is perfectly possible to be actively involved without venturing there. Some of you do choose to join Facebook groups for a specific purpose such as this. The Circle runs for five weeks and is a taster for the 2019 Dare to Blossom Mstermind Circle. There is no commitment to join that, though last year's taster resulted in everyone deciding to follow through the process with me throughout 2018, which has ben an honour and a joy. So, what is it? The topic for October is "Spiritual Business Planning for the Creative Soul." We will explore how to be involved in running your business - whether you are a sole trader as I am, or have a larger enterprise with employees - and stay connected to your creativitiy and your spiritual heart. We will do this using my tried and tested tools ad processes: the Dare to Blossom Rediscovery Cards, the guided Magic Carpet Ride visualisations, and the gradual unfurling of the Dare to Blossom Power Flower. My prose poem 'Compass Rose Speaks'  also forms an integral part of each live gathering. The full details of the programme can be found on my 'Workshops and Events' page. The price for the full five weeks, one for the centre point Peace, and one each to unfurl each of the petals in turn, with the calls and recordings, is just £50. Originally I had this bundled with a one to one coaching call with me, but on feedback from people interested I have separated them, and you still have the choice to buy your coaching at the same time. . Reflections: Shifting Seasons October, here in Cornwall, is harvest time. Wherever you are in the world there is a feeling of change. The seasons are stifting. From summer to autumn, or from winter to spring. Both shifts are equinoxes, the time when the hours of day and the hours of the light are (approximately) equal. At these times, whether spring or autumn, the weather often becomes wild and stormy. That has certainly been the case here in Cornwall this autumn. We have experienced several days of vigorous winds, heavy rain, and pounding seas on the coast. Today, that has all cleared, the weather fronts have passed away as the atmosphere of this magical planet swirls around us. Out on the cliffs today the air feels different; the grass is already greener, regrowing after the dry summer. The sea is calmer, yet full of movement and energy. Writing now, sitting in my garden on a mellow September day, I feel into what is shifting for me. Some of these shifts are consolidations, the coming together of all my ways of working into a coherent whole, each part supporting the other. Together the whole being 'greater than the sum of the parts'. Other shifts are letting go, moving on from things that once served me well, yet now have come to the end of their time for me. I am honouring those things, and those people, I am leaving behind, thnaking them for the part they have played for me. Knowing we may meet again in different circumstances. Looking forwards now as I step through the doorway of the Equinox, into a new seaon in my life, as well as the next season of this year. For you, in your journal or meditation: What is shifting for you just now? What are you leaving behind, and what is staying with you? How will you choose to step through the doorway? Silver Tent Radio Interview with Joni Advent Maher It was a joy recently to interview my friend and wonderful wise woman Joni Advent Maher for my Silver Tent Radio Show.

News on my new book "The Pathway to Power" The news is..... writing is proceeding, very slowly. Yet, just today, as I was writing in the garden, the shape suddenly became much more clear. Who knows how this will pan out in terms of squeezing in writing into a busy working life, and who knows what shape this book finally will be - the book itself may 'know', but I certainly do not just yet. I am grateful for your support in tall the various ways you each offer that, which are many and various. Just reading this is support in itself.   Thank you dear friends for visiting with me again this month and sharing my musings. Until next time, with love, Mary Find 'Dare to Blossom Life Coaching' on Facebook, @daretoblossom on Twitter
