The Cabin, the Horses, and the Wisdom of Doing It Differently

I’m meant to be in Berlin right now but…

A few months ago I was absolutely brimming with excitement as I hit the PURCHASE button on flights to Berlin

I had been accepted to present S.xibility festival and after will run my retreat in Sweden

Summer Chloe thought Berlin would be the perfect pre Sweden adventure

But as we descended into Melbourne winter my travel plans just weren’t sitting right with me

I imagined myself flying to Berlin right after running our Winter Witches Yin retreat and it felt all wrong

So I did something I’ve never done, I cancelled my flights to Berlin and pushed my trip back by two weeks leaving myself with two extra weeks in Australia with no accomodation and no plans

I knew I didn’t want to be in Melbourne after my retreat, that I needed solitude, nature and… I had a deep desire for horses - I used to ride a lot as a little girl and lately have been thinking of horses consistently

I sent out a few messages and a new friend replied to me saying he was almost finished buildings tiny home and his brother has horses

So with my car filled with witches broom stick, pu$$y art work and retreat paraphernalia I drove to the Mitta Mitta valley

For the first two days I slept almost constantly completely wiped out from an enormous first half of 2025, my body needed rest

Then by the third day I got back on the horse.literally feeling completely enlivened by the cold, the wind, and the views as we galloped through the countryside

Each night I warmed my cabin with the little wood fire, sat in the sauna and shared food with new friends

It couldn’t have been further from what I would be experiencing if I were in Berlin - and that felt so right

Now, 4 days before I fly to Sweden I feel so grateful that I listened to my intuitive call to cancel Berlin

I feel recharged and ready to bring my whole self to this journey rather than spreading myself thin like I have most of my life

This peeling away of my maiden ways is the new constant in my life, while I love and honour my maiden and the MANY wild times we have had

I am really loving this new, matured woman I am getting to know
