Everyone has their sights set on the end of the year and the new goals they want to achieve. Why not do the opposite and take some time to acknowledge the journey you have experienced this year? That way, the goals you achieve in 2023 will be even more satisfying. This has been an important shift for me in the past couple of years. I hope it works for you too. Hang in to the end of the episode to find out what Jo and I are up to during the holidays. Thanks for being on this journey with me. Your support is greatly appreciated. I look forward to connecting more with you in 2023. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Are you a purpose driven individual having trouble navigating a difficult life transition?

I am so pleased to be sharing this magical conversation I had with Isla Macleod.   Isla is a ceremonialist, ritual designer and transformational healer devoted to restoring the Sacred and supporting others in their quest for meaning and belonging. Her work is expressed through bespoke ceremonies, rites of passage, ritual crafting workshops, guided healing journeys, pilgrimages, soul-making retreats, mentoring and most recently Isla’s new book; Rituals for Life [https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/isla-macleod/rituals-for-life/9780857829429/], which in itself is a work of magic. In this episode, you will learn: * How Isla’s time in a yurt brought her closer to her darkness. * How Isla 'grounded' herself whilst navigating her inner and outer landscape. * How having a framework of Nature connection, ceremony and ritual would help Isla connect with and express her True Nature. * Learn about a special initiation and how that would shape the rest of her journey. * Tips on how to deepen your relationship with tree and animal spirits. * What it means to Re-Enchant the world. * What you can expect from Isla’s new book; Rituals for Life And so much more magic and wisdom... I really enjoyed the conversation and getting to know Isla. I recommend checking out all that Isla has to offer.  Buy Isla's amazing book Rituals for Life [https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/isla-macleod/rituals-for-life/9780857829429/] Visit Isla’s website [https://islamacleod.com/] Follow Isla on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/islajmacleod/] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Are you a purpose driven individual having trouble navigating a difficult life transition?

I went on a 4 day/ 3 night solo wild camping trip into the wilderness of the Western Cape, here in South Africa. It had been on my 'to-do' list for 3 years!   In this episode I share the reason why I procrastinated for so long, some of what I experienced while I was in-the-wild and 3 Key Lessons I received from my time in Nature I wanted to share these insights and lessons as I do feel they are of value and it might just be the perfect time for you to receive them too. This is a personal solo podcast, I hope you enjoy this window-into-my-world. >>> Get your FREE Well-being Guide here [https://www.awakentonature.com/well-being-guide].
