💦 "In its fluency of form,
Water never goes outside
Its own desire
But inhabits the offered shape
And keeps to itself
Even when gravity drives
It the blind way
Through solitudes of rock
Inside the mountain
Where nothing has ever gone,
Its tongue coarse with sand
Rasped from their perfect sleep."
~ John O'Donohue

The seasonal cycle of Lammas invites us to pause, acknowledge what is ripening and recalibrate with what is emerging.

When our inner waters are stagnant, they become heavy and dense. Inner conflict, judgement and resistance, the sludge of the inner critic accumulates. This is the sympathetic nervous system in dominance: fight, flight, faint.

When our inner waters flow, we are in the natural state of connection, presence and joy. When the head, heart and hara align, the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant.

Water is a conductor of light. When our waters are purified, our leadership becomes radiant and we can flow in partnership with life.

An invitation to recalibrate for the autumn harvest:

💧 What supports your inner waters to flow?

💧 So what feels stagnant and ready to be liberated?

💧 Now what is the most important thing emerging through you for the autumn harvest?

🌞 "People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive." ~ Joseph Campbell

The Summer Solstice invites us to adapt in action by following the energy of aliveness, the warmth, the resonance and the quiet yes in the body.

This is the season to notice what is flourishing, release what no longer serves
and root deeper into your true expression.

☀️ What makes you feel more alive in your body, leadership and relationships?

☀️ How can you embrace this more?

☀️ Now what structure will support you to feel more connected?

🌼"May your love be pure like an eagle. Wisdom be under every stone you turn. Let truth be the key to freedom and bind you to the path that holds the light."
~ William Prince

In the rhythm of the seasonal cycles, Beltane marks the crossing point between spring emergence and summer fullness, a time when nature is moving from seed into the potential of its full expression.

Nature has much to teach us about how change happens.

Many of my leaders and teams I work with are being asked to give more while feeling increasingly depleted. More complexity. More demand. Less space to reset.

This moment in the seasonal cycle offers us something practical. A way to shift from ideas into implementation, from intention into action and from depletion into renewal through alignment.

At this time of year, the most important question is not:

“What more do I need to do?”
It is:
“Where is my action coming from?”

Harnessing the intelligence of nature leads to clearer decision-making, greater presence and more effective collaboration.

Seasonal Inquiry Praxis

Take a few moments to reflect:

🌼 What is currently energizing me most?
🌼 Where am I acting from pressure instead of alignment?
🌼 Now what might change if I chose to lead from what brings aliveness?

Seasonal Nature Practice

Harness the energy of the season to align your actions with truth:

🌼 Step outside between meetings, even for a couple of minutes makes a difference
🌼 Feel the ground beneath your feet.
🌼 Take 3 deep breaths, as slowly as you can
🌼 Ask: What is needed now?

🌸 "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking we used to create them." ~ Albert Einstein

Soften.

This word has been living with me through this season. The Spring Equinox marks the passage from the winter that has been and the summer that is becoming.

Soften is a call to slow down and allow. Like the greening earth, it invites me to move from bracing for the next thing, to allow my body to relax and let the emotions move through me like a wave.

Right now, there is a lot of opportunity to practice. Individually and collectively.

Nature reminds us growth happens through harmony and balance.

Night and day.
Shadow and light.
Structure and flow.
Challenges and successes.

The way forward we are seeking will not come from doing more. It emerges from holding the space, softening the mind and cultivating new possibilities.

Move from grind to grace.

The spring flowers invite us to reflect on what is budding in our lives, to tend what is waiting under the surface and to cultivate the gifts and talents ready to blossom.

Take a few moments to reflect:

🌸 What is calling you to soften in your life, relationships and work?

🌸 So what deeper truth and needs are wanting to be cultivated?

🌸 Now what structures or practices will support you to blossom wholeheartedly?

If you feel inspired to connect in a daily community practice, we begin again on Monday.

I invite you to join us here: https://cathrynlecorre.com/presencepractice

Together, we co-create the conditions for thriving.

🌱 “The quality of everything growing above the soil, including the quality of the harvest, is a function of the quality of the soil itself.” — Otto Scharmer

The snowdrops are blooming, a quiet and beautiful reminder that new growth begins beneath the surface, long before it can be seen.

In the Celtic calendar, this season is Imbolc, a tender time that invites us to slow down and tend to what is awakening, within ourselves and communities.

Many of the challenges we are navigating are not performance problems, they are soil problems. Signs that care, connection and nourishment have been stretched thin.

Imbolc reminds us that thriving does not begin with action, it begins with how we care for ourselves, each other and the conditions we are growing in.

Inspiration for Reflection

🌱 What seeds are awakening within you, in your life, leadership and work?

🌱 So what conditions would nourish and cultivate their growth?

🌱 What might it look like to place wellbeing and care more intentionally at the centre of your choices and decisions?

✨ Happy winter solstice!

From within the darkness, the light becomes visible. It may arrive as a small flame, a whisper of the soul calling you toward something new.

When we allow ourselves to open to it, we can feel the deeper yearning, the quiet joy of a different way. It might be the idea you keep returning to: learning an instrument, joining a dance class or finally moving forward with that project that has been patiently waiting for you.

What if the light of this winter solstice season is permission to slow down, trust the spark and let your light inspire others.

Pause. Breathe. Listen.

✨ What inspiration is calling you forth?

✨ What old narratives are you ready to release?

✨ What new possibility are you ready to embrace?

🪷 Shine your light. Do your part. Let go of the rest.

This simple mantra has supported me to be true to myself as I co-create change toward a thriving world.

When I feel overwhelmed, uncertain or confused, it reminds me to return to the most important thing, to follow my heart.

When I remember, I come back home to myself.

☀️ Shine your light reminds me that I am a co-creator, that the way forward is by following my heart.

🪷 Do your part calls me to respect my soul’s truth. It gives me permission to follow my joy toward the next wise action.

🍂 Let go of the rest encourages me to release fear of judgment. When I let them be who they are, I am free to be who I am.

To support this way of being, the 40 Day Embody Presence Practice has become a foundational support structure. It is a space for daily journey of meditation, mantra and reflection to co-create life from the inside out, together.

The next 40 Day Embody Presence Practice begins this Monday, November 10.

If you feel the call to come home to yourself, I invite you to join an inspiring community of practitioners gathering online each morning on the virtual mat.

🪶 "So let us move forward with faith in ourselves, in our intelligence, in our indomitable spirit. Let us develop respect for all things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love." ~ Jane Goodall

At this turning of the seasons, the earth invites us to slow down, release and remember.

In the Celtic Calendar, this time is known as Samhain, the threshold where endings become beginnings.

Nature shows us how to loosen our grip on what no longer serve so that new life can emerge.

Seasonal Praxis Inquiry

Pause and take a moment to reflect on a situation where you might feel stuck.

🪶 What old stories and patterns are you being called to release?

🪶 What is emerging through you to be created?

🪶 If your wise ancestors had a message, what would they say?

Write it down. Breathe. Take one next wise action.



Shine your light.
Do your part.
Let go of the rest.

🙏

Invitation to join the 40 Day Embody Presence Practice

As the Fall Equinox arrives — the balance of light and dark — nature invites us to harvest, to compost, and to give thanks.

The apple tree teaches us:

🌳 One seed, one source.

🍎 One tree, many apples.

💫 Each expression flawed and beautiful in its own way.

This season, I invite you to pause and reflect with these Seasonal Praxis Questions:

🍎 What are you harvesting in your life right now?

🍎 What are you composting, returning to the soil to nourish new growth?

🍎 What and who are you most grateful for?

May the equinox remind us balance is found in belonging.

🌻 “Flourishing is only possible in community when we cultivate relationships with all kin, from human to more-than-human, and to our living Earth.” ~ Yuria Celidwen, Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-being

Lammas encourages us to gather in gratitude, to recognize the abundance of the harvest, in the outer fields and also in our inner landscapes.

Everything moves in cycles.
Empires rise and fall.
Seeds become trees.
Trees bloom, fruit, fall.
The fruit returns to the earth as compost making sacred offerings to the next cycle.

We are composting now, individually and collectively.
Old systems, outdated stories, and patterns of disconnection are dissolving. As we let go, there is grief and dissolution. This also creates space.
Space for something new to emerge.
Space for light to grow.

As we shed the mantles of old ways, we create a space for radical presence and possibility.

Lammas reminds us:

Endings are beginnings.
Gratitude is a form of reclamation.
Joy is a radical act in challenging times.
Even now, there is beauty.
Even here, there is life.

Seasonal Praxis Inquiry to celebrate the harvest within and around us:

🌻 What is blossoming and flourishing within you?

🌻 What are you most grateful for?

🌻 Who are the kin to honour and thank for their support?
