DEDICATION

I have dedicated myself to creative and compassionate living. I am lit up by connection - to self, to others, to source, and have always been curious about the sacred mysteries and the muse. I weave yoga, meditation, reiki, theta healing, sound, intuitive guidance, creative and earth based practices and wisdom traditions to nurture this connection.

CALLING

Called to guide, I am here to support others on their journey. Our modern life has taken a departure from the natural rhythms and cycles in which we thrive. Because of this disconnection, we are effected by the stresses and pressure of modern life and the expectations, beliefs and confusion that it entails. Yet there is a deeper current running within all of us, a knowing to attune to an aligned way of being. Trust the knowing. I am committed to guide and serve with gentle strength and an open heart. I am here to guide and witness your homecoming back to a place of connection and remembrance.

INVITATION

I am an advocate of tuning into the wisdom within oneself to cultivate a beautiful and meaningful life that is here for us. My intention is to assist others to tap into this wellspring by offering tools and wellness modalities that will attune oneself to an inner compass. We are our most intimate relationship we will ever experience. Nurture it. Water it. Tend to it. As we uncover this deeper wisdom and integrate it into daily life, we are able to show up to the world more fully, present and at peace. I invite you to step toward your true nature and the wisdom that resides within.

GATHERINGS

In recent years, I have been called to share gatherings in the form of circle. To be in circle with others is to attune to the rhythms, cycles and seasons, and be in natural ways of relating, witnessing in reverence our individual experience in this collective journey. Incredible healing, connection and shifts happen in circle. I hold women’s circles, cacao circles, and other ceremonies and gatherings. It is an absolute joy to sit and be in circle. To gather in ceremony is an invitation for presence, to drop into heart space and support an opening of subtler bodies, and to celebrate and acknowledge our interconnected nature.

Every gathering is a co-creation of those who attend, making each one its own unique orchestra born from the alchemy of our lived experiences. The gift that always arises is that we are interconnected in the most mysterious and wondrous of ways.

JOURNEY

My journey began between the ocean and mountains, first in Hong Kong, then in West Vancouver. I met my teachers in the intelligence of mother nature, between waves and mossy walks, to smoky chants and gong reverberations. Spirit, nature and art dance to the same sacred song of creation.

No stranger to adversity, my misunderstood abilities and expression as a highly sensitive child and empath combined with difficult life circumstances caused confusion and suffering in my younger years. The path was isolating and lonely at times, but I had access to tools, inner guidance, and a well of curiosity that took me down the path of self exploration. As I dove inward, I found two treasures, compassion and creativity.

It is in gratitude that Buddhism and yoga were woven early in my life. Both have been an integral part of my journey and helped me navigate all seasons of life. With this influence, I have deepened my studies in the eastern wisdom traditions, and trained in several healing and esoteric modalities. In recent years, I have come back to what I intuitively know, connecting with the wisdom of nature based practices, plant teachers, women’s embodied arts, and the traditions of my Asian and Celtic ancestors.

With over a decade of dedicated practice, my highly sensitive and empathic gifts are the framework in which I now hold liminal space for transformation to occur ( with permission ) by subtly attuning to others energy, beliefs, and experiences to support others in the way that best serves.

From my mother I was gifted pathways of creativity + healing hands

From my father I was gifted pathways of compassion + communion with nature.

I currently live off grid on a small island in the Salish Sea with my beloved, our 4 cats, tending to the lands and stewarding our heart offering - creating organic heirloom cacao chocolate with beautiful adaptogenic and wild crafted plants, herbs, mushrooms and minerals MUNI ALCHEMY

Life as poetry. Life as play. Life as ceremony.

In devotion to the path,

Alison
