Hi everyone,
Venus and Mercury are still retrograde, but the tone is shifting. Venus is still going backwards, but she's doing it in Libra now, the sign she rules, which may bring more clarity and more solutions as we journey through the underworld.
It's also a time of great change, and change on this scale can be frightening for many of us. We're in a liminal space, the in-between, where something has ended and we're not yet what we're becoming. It can be strange and uncomfortable. It is possible to keep waking up through it, not in spite of it.
That is why I practise every day, especially through times like this. I've recorded a 12-minute audio to share what that means for me.

In this audio
Where the sky is right now, with Venus retrograde in Libra
The liminal space, and how to keep waking up through it
Why practice is a training, not a discipline, and why returning is the foundation
Karma as pattern recognition, and why seeing your patterns gives you choice
A short taste of daily ritual practice you can follow along with
The Return Mantra
The practice in the audio uses the Return Mantra, which you can take with you through the day:
I return. As I return, wisdom and love return.
Say it silently in a queue, before a hard conversation, or whenever you notice you've been swept away.
This four-week journey has emerged directly from everything I share in the audio. Beginning October 31st / November 1st, Returning is a container where together, we'll explore how a simple daily practice can quietly transform the way we meet ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Four live weekly gatherings (with recordings available)
A simple daily practice (5–10 minutes)
A practical framework you can continue returning to long after the journey ends
I can't promise a particular result, and I wouldn't want to. What I'm offering is a daily practice you can take with you, and how deep it goes is up to you.

There's no pressure at all. If now isn't the right time, take what was useful from the audio and keep returning in your own way.
With love,
