In this episode Christine explained why she chose the title, The Soul's Slow Ripening. It called to her because her approach, "... has always been organic and tied to the seasons. The contemplative approach to life is not a quick fix solution. It allows for the season to have its fullness."
In divine timing with the opening of the new year, Christine shares that there is great wisdom and inspiration in tending to what each season invites us into—especially—as we make the descent into winter to experience the gifts of darkness and embrace the great mystery. Christine invites us to deepen our dreamtime practice as sacred self care. She says dreams are a significant threshold, and their images and messages are an "invitation to the next thing, in non-linear language." Christine speaks about her move to Ireland, a land rich in sacred history. She shares her stories of mystics and the magic of stones.
