“Awaken your inner Shaman. She is your ancient self; the one who harmonises Spirit & Earth, the part of you so deeply entrenched in nature that authenticity, intuition and love surround you. Awaken her from her dream and synchronise with the power to heal, step into purpose, and live as your sacred self.”

“i spent all my teenage years being obsessed with beauty. i’m very resentful about it and i’m very angry. i had so much intelligence and energy and drive and instead of using that to study more, instead of pursuing something, instead of going out and learning about the world, changing the world, i directed all that fire inward and burnt myself up and tried to make myself beautiful and perfect.”
