Going Home, I'm Going Home .............

I have made a decision to go home - and this is facilitated by many things that have transpired in my life over the past 4.5 years.  And most recently the devastating fires in the Garden Route.  What trauma this caused me and I wasn't even there.  But I was in Cape Town, and living a life where I feel so isolated, sad, and disconnected.  And for long I have thought its Cape Town, the people are cliquey, I am unsure where I fit in, financially I am just not making it, and many other things that niggle and fill my mind constantly.  And then, as I was preparing to visit my beloved Garden Route and give some love and holding to my community, that it's not Cape Town, it's me!  And suddenly I realized I need to go home.

And if I am going to go through the challenges, at least let me do this in a place where I have a community where; I feel a sense of belonging, I can work easily with the various sectors of the community,  I can add value and give back where it is needed.  And then I went home, on the 16 June, to connect with my community in crisis.  

During my time in Wilderness and Knysna, I felt as if I never left, the honouring of my community in crisis gave me familiar feeling of belonging and connection, those whom I comforted, comforted me, and the love and heart connection were so real.  This is my family and this is where I need to be.  

So this is my plan, I will leave Cape Town in early January 2018.  And make my way home.  I will open a Trauma and Bereavement practice and work in both Knysna and Sedgefield and George, and link with the Phoenix Programme through Lifeline Garden Route, offering trauma counselling, counselling training, and trauma relief groups. My vision is to live simply and with integrity and harmoniously with myself, the community, and the earth.  And to find my home where my heart is. 

And so my Sacred Adventure continues and deepens. 
Be blessed, Always.
