Thank you so much for joining us for our December Mentor Conversation, led by the amazing Elizabeth Brett!
We dove into the theme of presence with a beautiful invocation of the goddess of love.
Here's a quick recap of what we explored:
✨ Key Takeaways
Presence isn’t about doing more; it’s about being fully here. Embodied practices help us drop into the moment.
Slowing down doesn’t have to take more time—but it does invite more depth and joy into everyday life.
Self-love and compassion are essential when working through trauma or coping mechanisms that pull us away from the present.
Small, simple moments of presence throughout the day can be just as powerful as trying to stay "on" all the time.
💖 Archetypal Work
Elizabeth introduced us to archetypes—ways of connecting to specific energies within ourselves and the divine.
We worked with the goddess of love archetype to drop out of our heads and into our senses.
🌱 Guided Meditation & Sharing
Elizabeth led us in a grounding meditation to connect with the earth. Some heartfelt reflections:
One participant saw herself as a "big, fat, luscious bear," feeling full of resources and contentment.
Another shared a sense of air and fire but also a fear of not being enough.
Someone else expressed gratitude as her inner child felt seen and healed.
🧴 Sensory Practices
We engaged our senses through simple, grounding practices:
Using essential oils to notice scent and texture while tuning into where the body craved touch.
A mindful eating and drinking exercise that invited us to savor taste and texture.
These showed us how easy it is to weave presence into everyday moments.
🌀 Trauma & Coping
We talked about how lack of presence is often tied to trauma responses.
Elizabeth reminded us to meet ourselves with love when coping mechanisms arise.
Honoring all parts of ourselves is key to cultivating presence.
