​"Just as the waters of the great oceans all have one taste, the taste of salt,
so too, all true teachings have but one taste, the taste of liberation."

When the Tail of the Snake Clears the Path

2/2/2026

As we move through the final stretch of the Year of the Wood Snake, many of us are feeling it: old patterns surfacing, structures wobbling, roles and relationships no longer able to stay ambiguous.

This is the part of the cycle where the snake shakes its tail — not to create chaos for its own sake, but to shed what can’t come forward.
​
What I’m seeing, again and again, is this:

  • excess falling away
  • truths becoming harder to avoid
  • nervous systems asking for honesty, not coping
  • life paths narrowing toward what is actually sustainable

This isn’t failure. It’s refinement.

Before a year of action can arrive, the path has to clear. Before purpose can feel workable, it has to feel true. Before movement, there is discernment.

Inside the Body & Soul Sanctuary, the next cycle reflects this exact moment.

Beginning at the Spring Equinox, we’ll be entering a fresh and more elaborate phase, beginning a new cycle around the Wheel of Metamorphosis.

The Sanctuary experience is like an epic heroine's journey, where you get to take whatever you're working through in life into a professionally guided, sacred container, alongside an intimate community of other brave, healing, change-makers who are not just talking about, but enacting the reclamation of their full-bodied full-spirited wellbeing.
​
This year, we will be not only tending and transforming the soil of our inner territory, but we'll also be simultaneously cultivating our outer dharma, so Sanctuary members will get support for projects and structures that want to be birthed into the world, to signify the new self as she emerges.

This phase is about embodied action, not self-improvement. About letting what is no longer essential fall away, so what remains has real weight and momentum.

David Whyte writes in Just Beyond Yourself:
“You are not here to be right.
You are here to be real.
And the real work begins
just beyond yourself.”

If you feel called to step into your next level life in a dedicated container along with a group of badass, humble, empowered women, now is an ideal time to connect and chat about enrollment.
