Feeling so held by all the kind messages and reflections from my last post.
Thank you for meeting me and for reminding me that vulnerability doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
I was in the thick of completing my final Circling facilitator certification last weekend (and I’m proud to say I passed! 🤍), so I haven’t had a chance to respond to all the comments just yet—but know your words are deeply felt.
It’s been an intense ride… and I’m still landing.
What's stayed with me since then is the wonder. The recognition that every single connection, every gaze, every shared silence has slowly built me back up—guiding me to meet myself more honestly, through the reflection of others.
How every time I met someone deeply, I was also meeting myself.
Circling has a way of doing that.Of reminding me that there’s a way of being together that dissolves the masks.That softens the edges.That lets us exhale into being deeply, honestly human.
The veil feels thin right now—between what’s said and what’s felt.
And I’m riding this wave of inspiration to host something special:a one-day immersion in Circling & Authentic Relating with my dear friend Tiff, happening soon in Toronto.
And I’d love to invite you into this space if you are in the vicinity.
If your heart’s been longing to be more deeply met,
If you’ve been feeling the ache of disconnection,
If you’re ready to remember what it means to really be with another—
Consider this your invitation.
Let’s meet in presence, in truth, in our shared humanness.
Let’s exhale together 🤍

Hey loves, I’m writing to you from Amsterdam, having just completed a full day of Circling training.
There’s so much I want to catch you up on.
The intense darkness I’ve had to crawl through over the past couple of months.
The San Pedro retreat I spontaneously joined last weekend—an unexpected life raft I don’t know what I would’ve done without.
The spark of inspiration in heart-storming with my dear friend Tiff, and a renewed desire to share with my community.
There’s so much to say, I hardly know where to begin.
Maybe I start with loneliness.
Over these past months, I’ve been sitting with so much shame, fear, anguish… and a deep, aching loneliness.
Struggling to feel met by others in my pain, and not knowing how to let myself be seen.
I found myself isolating, pushing away the ones I love—craving connection and fearing it at the same time.
Hiding behind masks to protect the parts of me that felt too shameful to share.
When I stepped into the training this morning, I carried all of that with me.
I was full of apprehension.
But being met by another’s loving gaze... the tears just came flooding.
Every hug, every touch, melted me further into the puddle I already was.
By lunchtime, I had a major breakthrough with one of my Circling buddies.
And for the first time in a long while, I felt an immense sense of peace.
Stillness.
Grace.
Wonder.
Like something in me finally exhaled.
It reminded me why I fell in love with this work in the first place—and why it matters.
And if you’re wondering—wait, what even is Circling?
For the past three years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of relational practices, including Circling and Authentic Relating.
Because at some point, I realized:
No matter how much shadow work or self-inquiry you do, integration doesn’t fully land until it’s lived—in relationship.
There’s a whole dimension of the human experience that opens up when you're brave enough to step into the often messy terrain of connection.
A quality of being together that dissolves separation, deepens presence, and reawakens a sense of wonder.
That is what I’ve been with all day.
And it’s something I would be so honoured to share with you.
If you're in Toronto…
I’ll be back in a couple of weeks, and my friend Tiff and I will be co-facilitating a one-day Radical Relating Immersion.
It’s a space to slow down, drop the masks, and meet each other in presence, in truth, in our shared humanness.
This is not about “how to communicate better” or “how to have better relationships.”
(Although that’s often a byproduct.)
I’m not interested in giving you more tools to add to your personal development kit.
What I am interested in is unveiling a way of relating that expands your tender space of being very honestly human.
If you’ve been navigating your own season of loneliness, disconnection, or longing to be more deeply met—this space is for you.
Come as you are.
Let’s exhale together. 🤍

P.S. If you’re not in Toronto or can’t make this one, I hope this letter offered a little moment of breath and softening in your day. I’m grateful to be sharing these tender pieces of the journey with you.

Hey loves ❣️
In the spirit of Travel Tuesday, Trovatrip is graciously offering our community a discount on my upcoming Bali retreat! 🌀 Use the code TRAVELTUESDAY50 to receive $50 off your spot. This offer is valid until Dec 4th at 11:59 PM PST, so if you’ve been feeling the nudge to join, now’s the perfect time to say yes. 💌
I haven't really talked about this on here but over the past two years, I’ve been navigating some intense energetic and emotional shifts which have slowed my creative output in ways I wasn’t prepared for. Following a structured schedule has felt nearly impossible. Whenever my mind tries to stick to a plan, my body resists and rebels against it. I've had no choice but to listen closely to my body’s natural rhythm. So I've been learning patience and surrender, to move at a more intentional pace than I've ever allowed myself to do.
It’s been unsettling to be with this instability, as it challenges the structure I’ve grown to rely on. But despite this creative draught, I was still able to host two in-person retreats this year—thanks to the incredible support of Trovatrip (it really helped that they took care of so much of the logistics).
These gatherings surpassed my expectations, bringing us together in a way that reminded me of the power of face-to-face connection and community healing. I was reminded of my love for transformative spaces and the expansive magic of playing in potent group fields 🌀
With that inspiration in mind, I’m so grateful to be offering another immersive retreat in Bali next year. If you feel called to join us in this transformational space, book your spot with the link here and use the code TRAVELTUESDAY50 for a little discount! Let’s co-create something truly special. 🌺

Hey love, how are you? I just touched down in Canada, back for the winter. Hope you're well 🤍
I'm excited to announce that I'll be hosting my second trip to Bali in May 2025. The first retreat was so generative that I knew I had to do it again. It reminded me of just how meaningful it is to come together in person - fostering authentic connections and healing in community. I really want to be able to share that with more of you 🌺

Hey loves! I'm thrilled to share something special with you all. My cousin, Semide, recently came over and styled me in traditional Kazakh accessories and hairstyle, and I couldn't be more proud of the result. There's something magical about wearing traditional attire which allows me to connect with my roots in a very palpable way, something I've been longing for more intensely than ever before.
Not only did I feel absolutely beautiful, but Semide's attention to detail and care during the process made it all the more meaningful. Check out the video below to see the transformation! 💝

FYI I acknowledge that this trip comes with a high price tag and isn't accessible to everyone. Given my current level of expertise, I've partnered with Trovatrip to handle logistics, and the cost reflects this collab. I hope my videos here on Youtube can be of use to your healing journey if this trip is simply not an option at the moment. ❤️
