Love Letter to 2020
Dear 2020,
You entered fierce and firey, frightening me into action, actions that I had been putting off year after year. Tidy up, get rid of what I didn't need, minimise, care for my family, friends and neighbours, band together, support and hold space.
I was and still am so grateful for the fierce warriors who protected us and will continue too. We banded together and raised money, vibrations and love for the folks who lost so much, the sentient beings who suffered and died, who lost homes and habitat.
And while I wasn't looking, as I was busy and concerned, another monster was brewing. I heard rumours but had no idea how this next chapter, with fear and loss being the continuing theme, was going to halt the world. A 'virus' created the environment for a different kind of fear and distrust that would effect my beautiful family, friends and yoga community.
I have seen friends disagreeing, arguing and trashing each other on social media. Many people have mentioned how they have lost friends and family over the divide due to opinions and beliefs. Honest conversations are not being had because fear stops us seeing reason. I know through much of the work that I do, that the hormones released in times of prolonged stress, may block critical thinking as we are given continued bad news, day after day and now month after month.
So 2020; this year I have had more time off than I have had in over 30yrs, my classes stopped for 4months, thankfully I had some beautiful Teacher Trainees to keep me on my toes and invent new ways of continuing. Nourished Soul Sanctum ground to a halt which has been financially challenging for both Sarah and I. However we have thrived in other ways.
And my sister, Paula and her 2 gorgeous daughters, Julia and Laura and our whole family faced an immeasurable loss, when Doug passed away.
And with all of this 2020, I am still hopeful and inspired to repair our cracked and broken hearts with gold and the hope that we will be able to choose the ending that we want. That new life and renewed hope is amongst us and our families. That we'll hold space and create a world, community and families that we are happy to be part of.
So thank you 2020, for the gift of time, to spend it with those I love, to self inquire, to come out feeling like I know myself so much better. You may have cracked me open but I see the light through those cracks and I can mend them with the gold that I've mined from the experience. I have hope and believe that there may be a beautiful shift in consciousness that allows us all to wake up and move forward as children of nature and not victims of a regime.
Love Megan xxxxxxx

Xmas & New Year News
Thanks to everyone of you for being a part of 2020 with me. From the amazing women who defied all odds and joined us for the Womens Retreat, which completed the day before lockdown. To all of those who joined me for 4 months of morning meditations on Zoom. For those of you who invested in my online course to help them though the months of no classes. And for those of you who were almost beating the door down to get back to class in July. Also to all of you patient folks who waited and waited and transferred their money from one retreat to the other as we tried to gather but couldn't, thank you, thank you, it means the world to me and Sarah.
I wish you all a wonderful Festive Season and hope that you are able to gather together with those that you love the most. And with us during 2021.
So now as we draw to a close, with the exception of the Pacific Palms Wednesday class which has its final class this week, we will continue until Wednesday, December 23rd. Yes that means the Restorative Class at 4pm on Wednesday 23rd is ON and will be the last class of 2020.......
Classes will resume on Monday January 11th, 2021 for the 6pm class in Forster. All classes continue except the high school class which will resume in the 2nd week of 1st term, I'll send you all reminders :) xxxxx
