“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ”
The Souls of Byron Bay project continues to unfold as a profoundly transformative personal journey, challenging old patterns of thought and behaviour. It requires a deep well of courage to step into the unknown and create authentically from the heart, tapping into the pure essence where true magic resides and continually unfurls.
Whether I'm having my fortune told, enjoying tea at Church Farm, dancing with Tommy Franklin, or sharing in the aftermath of a home birth with midwives, or even knitting with the Nanas, I am struck by a beautiful realization: we are all fundamentally the same. As humans, we share common longings and desires. This project has ignited a profound awakening within me, allowing me to fully embrace the depth and richness of the human experience.
Each encounter leaves me feeling deeply connected and grateful for life. It's the recognition of our interconnectedness and the understanding that we're all in this together that humbles me. Experiencing someone's essence, the very essence of their being is a profoundly moving force that touches me to the core.
These encounters inspired me to live life to the fullest and to embrace wild abandon as our natural state of being. Being in the presence of souls who have tapped into their core essence and found their unique gifts to share with the world feels like a divine brush with heaven. We all possess our own unique essence, our own calling, waiting to blossom when the time is right.
