Sinking into the Deep Place

A few years ago, in the aftermath of a shattering heartbreak I knew would change my world forever, I heard a voice inside me say: “you are living a deeper life now.”

This voice had the resonance of truth + immediately calmed my nervous system.

I knew this was the path.

I knew my heartbreak was inviting me into something else + something more.

I knew there was work to be done -- but not the kind of work I was used to.

Ever since, I’ve turned toward depth.

I’ve done a lot of digging, sinking, and settling in. I’ve tried to ask big questions + make space for mystery. I’ve wandered in the shadows + journeyed into the darkness + searched for the magic underneath it all.

And I’ve turned my attention to creating deep places -- spaces where we’re invited to tell the truth, sit in unknowing, and feel for what’s real -- where there’s room for *all of us* + all of what we bring + feel + know + desire.

Because, as I've learned, “living a deeper life,” has less to do with the action we take + more to do with the space we create.

This deep place is where I go to create my art. It’s the place I go to heal + answer the call of my grief. It’s where I find magic + remember awe. It’s the space I create for my clients in my one-to-one work.

And it’s the place where I find my way back to myself -- into what I know + who I am.

What's calling to you in these shadows + spaces? How might you sink into their depths? What might Deep Place look like for you + how might you begin to create + cultivate it for yourself?
