“We can’t jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can’t take skinny dips in the ocean because there’s no service on the beach and adventures aren’t real unless they’re on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we’re helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag.”
Jeremy Glass
Hello, Lovelies!
May is a month for speaking your truth, for standing up for what matters, for action, and for emotional healing.
Keep that in mind as we explore the gifts that the oracle card BE SPONTANEOUS brings us this week. BE SPONTANEOUS is from the Nature’s Whispers Oracle Cards by Angela Hartfield and Josephine Wall.

The Gifts Of The Week Ahead
When did we get to that place where we spend more time photographing a moment than we do actually being present in it?
When did life become about constructing an Instagram-able life rather than simply living it?
This week’s energies support secret pleasures, private adventures and moments that are personal, deeply felt and unshared, except in the presence of anyone who is right there with you.
It’s a week for unplugging, for stepping back, and for living life up close – using all of your senses and engagement.
In short, it’s a magnificent week for making memories – real ones, that live on in your heart, and in the pages of the book of your life. You’ll be able to use your imagination to revisit that book right throughout your life, long after you’ve forgotten that Insta-worthy meal that went cold while you got that great shot or the perfectly staged moment that was never anything but art.

Supportive crystals this week
Citrine helps to bring the sunshine back into your life, and to think with optimism and clarity! If you are ready to ask for what you need or to voice your thoughts and ideas choose a lovely blue Sodalite! Green Aventurine is the perfect happiness stone, helping to elevate your mood and your sense of gratitude for the everyday. Rose Quartz (pictured) if you need a boost of love, kindness and nurture.

Helpful Essential Oils
Each of the following oils will work beautifully on their own for you this week, but they also make a delicious combination for diffusing. Grapefruit busts stress and uplifts you, Basil enhances focus and mental clarity, Geranium supports you emotionally and helps promote connection in relationships, and Sandalwood for connecting to your true north and opening yourself to your inner wisdom. To blend add 2 or three drops of each oil to your room or personal diffuser.

Want To Learn To Use Your Intuition?
Come join our members in the Journeymaker Inner Circle and have access to webinars, courses, meditations, activities and community all year!
This is a group that is perfect for beginners and the metaphysically curious, but it is also robust enough to serve more advanced practitioners too.
It’s a perfect time to be joining us. Right now I am running a series of members-only channelled webinars, covering the kind of teaching and information I usually only share on my advanced Retreats.
We’ve also got some wonderful members-only activities and lessons coming up, that work with the kind of Portal and Energy Healing work I did recently in Sedona. And there is so much more planned – and that’s on TOP of all of the courses, resources and activities you’ll have immediate access to within the membership.

Read what some of our members have been saying:
“I always wanted to attend one of your retreats. Now for a fraction of the price of a one week retreat I get a whole year of goodness. Feel like I am on retreat every time I watch one of your channelled webinars, or listen to a meditation, or when you guide us through a ritual or activity. I didn’t expect that you’d answer so many of our questions in the Facebook group. I certainly didn’t expect to be zooming along on my psychic journey with so much confidence or having such an incredibly mind blowing experience. Can’t thank you enough for helping me discover this part of myself, Nicole. Thank you to you and your team and a super-dooper big thankyou for the Dark Moon meditation. I never really got meditation until I did this one. It just takes me so deep, and I am having incredible results. Thanks again and lots of love to everyone xxx”

” I just logged in to the academy to find the meditation Nicole mentioned yesterday and discovered there are 157 lessons!! Apart from the quick look and celebratory sister Whoohoo
Fionawhen Nicole first launched the new look a few months or so back, I haven’t been in there to really use the website membership (I obviously find great value in the posts and “Live”s here in the Inner Circle alone!
). Nicole and team, you’ve been very busy! Amazing job! Thanks for the doorway meditation. I’ve now downloaded it and look forward to listening to it again many times over the next few years
“
I’ve been a member of several online metaphysical groups but when I found Nicole’s group a few years ago I knew I’d found my home. Nicole’s work is supportive, uplifting and empowering and I have made true and lasting real-world friendships in her community. Most importantly, I am gaining confidence and skills in using my intuitive abilities and I can see real progress, not just with my psychic work but in me as a person. I love her new Book Club and the library of webinar videos and downloadable guided meditations, and the Facebook Group is a place I check in often for the care and support it brings. I recommend the Journeymakers Circle. It is life changing in the best of ways and Nicole is a generous and caring teacher and mentor.

Dear Nicole, Thank you for the amazing channeling of Lunetia. I am still full of excitement with the information that was shared. I just really want you to know how grateful I am that I am here and able to participate in your series. Thank you!!!

You’ll find a ready group of friends and a world of support inside our doors.

This week I’m busy working with clients, recording new course videos for our membership, and tweaking the final draft of my memoir. So it’s a week at my desk, punctuated by regular tea breaks and long walks
And memories? I’ll be making some new ones for sure. But you won’t be hearing about them cos that’s private!
Secret Squirrel pinky-swear, and a big big hug, Nicole xx

‘When did we get to that place where we spend more time photographing a moment than we do actually being present in it?’ I’m reminded of a scene during a parade. An older woman was watching, all around her people were holding up their phones. I’m betting she got more out of that parade than anyone else.
Thank you for helping us remember the moments of doing and enjoying!
Thank you for this bloody great post
