Some moments arrive like a held breath, full of a quiet, profound potential.

Yet for many of us, this stillness can be quickly followed by a sense of pressure, or a feeling that we ought to be doing something grand to meet its significance.

Therefore, the invitation to plant a seed for a new beginning can start to feel like another task on an already long list, another thing to get right. Our body has learned, over years, that stillness must be earned through effort before it is allowed to mean anything.

So what if this threshold asked for the opposite of effort altogether?

There is a reason this threshold tomorrow feels so potent, for it brings a Total Solar Eclipse and NewMoon in Leo, an alignment so powerful it is often called a ‘new moon on steroids’.

Its significance, therefore, is not a fleeting one day event. An eclipse portal like this one creates ripples that extend forwards for the next six months; consequently, the intention you plant now is not for a day or a week, but for the entire season to come.... Oh yeah...

This moment is the culmination of a journey we have been on together, moving from the Extinguished Sun to the quiet power of The Coronation. Leo is the sign of the heart, and during the eclipse’s peak, the star Regulus, the very Heart of the Lion, sits beside the darkened Sun. Therefore the message here is one of profound courage: the courage to lead your own life, not in opposition to others, but in true alignment with yourself, shedding layers of inherited conditioning to reveal the radiant, generous heart that has been there all along.

So, then, this is your permission to meet this powerful moment not with grand gestures, but with quiet inner reverence. You do not have to feel a surge of energy, nor do you need to orchestrate a dramatic shift.

For a woman so accustomed to doing, one of the most courageous acts is simply to stay open. The true work is to choose one single, heartfelt seed of intention for the months ahead.

Perhaps you might find ten quiet minutes to write it down, or a private ritual between your soul and yourself.

This simple act is the planting.

It is an honouring of your own truth and a promise to your own becoming, done for you and you alone. may this be the seed that will grow steadily, quietly, and surely through the dark soil, long after the eclipse has passed.

This practice of planting intentional seeds in a safe, held space is the very heart of the work we do in circle. The women’s circles return in September, under a new name and in a new home at De Roos Amsterdam- A small waitlist has already begun to gather for these intimate gatherings.

Dear woman, if you feel a call to join us and would like to be among the first to receive the details, you are warmly invited to send me a direct message with the word ‘waitlist’.
With care,

There is an expectation of us now during a celestial window like the Lion’s Gate. It's to raise our frequency and shine our light ...a grand, external display of power and visibility.

For someone us woman who have lived our lives as the ‘strong one’, this this could be painfully familiar. It is to shine the light of advocacy for our children, or having to show up right in the boardroom... You know it… of holding everything and everyone together.

Being told to embody: a bright, unwavering radiance And doesn't it just feel like a familiar role or performance, like maybe performing patience when we are stretched thin, or theunwavering support when we feel unsupported... And this one's close t me- performance of having it all figured out when we are quietly falling apart inside.

This deep and draining dissonance has a name and I'm calling it reality of the ‘Extinguished Sun’: the woman who has so effectively and diligently poured her own light into warming others that she's left with no fire for herself.

Furthermore, the world demands she shine brighter... for social media, for corporate work, for being the mum that organises everything. The list goes on....her only remaining option is to put on the role of and to perform a radiance she no longer feels.
.. This being the logical outcome of a life spent overriding the body’s quiet signals for rest and retreat. Furthermore, this pattern creates an exquisitely painful form of loneliness, where the mask of capability is seen and applauded for (ff sake) whereas the authentic, tired self remains utterly invisible and unnourished. Thus, the pressure to shine is not an invitation to power, but a trigger for the deepest exhaustion.

Therefore, I want to offer you explicit permission for this moment... to be in silence when the world demands you show up... to turn inward when the world demands you shine outward.
This portal i'm offering - let it be a sanctuary for your presence.
Whereas others may be celebrating with grand declarations, I'm inviting you to a quieter, more sacred practice.... permission to simply place a hand on your own heart, breathing deeply into your own centre, and to whisper to the deepest part of you, ‘This light is mine’. This is the true work: the gentle, unwavering reclamation of your own warmth, not for any outward display, but for survival and for self.

This is and exlotatio. in my Sunday Letters moving from performance to presence, and wish for gentle guidance through this potent eclipse window, you are warmly invited to join us through the link.

A word I wish to return to you…
Eros.

Not the way our culture uses it… the flush of new attraction, the performance of desirability… but something far older, and far more your own than we’ve been told.

In my own understanding, Eros is the river that was always running underneath everything… the untameable creative life force that moves through women when we’re fully inhabiting our own skin, present to what is actually here, responsive to what our body knows before our mind has assembled its explanation.

This ungrabbable mystic force isn’t lost to us… but we may be simply blocking it.

Through the abandoning of parts of ourselves that felt like too much, or not enough… shadow parts lost in the dark. Moreover, we move against our cycles rather than with them, not staying with what is difficult and tender.

The inner marriage is the clearing of that blockage… and it’s the work of this season,
whether in partnership or not.

Committed relationship isn’t for the faint-hearted… whether that’s with a partner or with the forgotten parts of yourself.

It is the unglamorous practice of collecting what went into the shadow and saying… I see you… I am staying… I am not leaving you behind again… and our partnerships are the direct mirror of this.

When you stop abandoning yourself, the channel opens, and Eros moves through more fully… in the body… in what you create… in how you love.

Here you see my beloved Roland. We are entering our nineteenth year together… what I know now, that I didn’t know then, is that this isn’t something I found, but something I became available for, because I did the clearing work… and because he chose to do his own.

That is what commitment actually is… not romantic dazzle… but two people choosing, again and again, to keep clearing the channel in themselves… and rekindling the connection with one another.

Staying is the hardest and most beautiful thing I have ever chosen.

I am a woman who knows that the love I have outside me is only as real as the love I have learned to practice within.

My 1-on-1 work is where we do this together. Send me a message.

In beauty,
Wen-Wei

“As we create, this wild and mysterious being is creating us in return, filling us with love.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

There is something most women have never been told… that the heat we carry in our body is not about desire for another…
but It’s our own intense sensory awareness… ALIVE and waiting…

It is our WILDISH NATURE, our CREATIVE LIFE FORCE…
and the very thing that makes you… you

Again - we were taught and conditioned to believe our power lies in our beauty. Phe!

Dear Woman… your beauty is the natural consequence of it… your inner power

It is what pours out of a woman when she is truly, fully, unapologetically and naturally alive inside herself….

This Sunday evening I’m holding an intimate Beltane MoonLodge in a private yurt in Amsterdam West.. with the wild surrounding us and flowers in our hands.

Be welcome

We live with a Great Mystery… and that Mystery can be scary. However, that same Mystery can also be magical.

There are dates you choose and dates that choose you… Synchronicity, Jung called it.

The 1st of April was set by someone else entirely. However, let me tell you something…This was a Libra full moon in Aries season.

… And the magic of it is this…
I’m a Libra sun with an Aries moon.
That is Mystery meeting synchronicity.

So what’s this all about? Libra’s the sign of Right Relationship. However, Right Relationship doesn’t begin out there, with others, with the world, with the people you love or struggle with.
No,no…It begins here.
With you.
With Who You Truly Are before the roles, the conditioning, the expectations…

When you are in Right Relationship with yourself, you have beautiful relationships with the people around you, with the world around you, and most of all - you begin creating the life you truly wish to lead.

So the question is: who are you?
…Know yourself….

This is the journey, isn’t it?
Because in order to create in life… the real question is always
… where are you creating from? Are you creating from a false identity, from a role, from what others expect of you? Or are you creating from your true Self, with a capital S?

If something in you is still turning this over, there is one more evening….

Major gratitude though goes to Avis, Kamalia, .natuurwerk, Bas, Oliver,

Space holders I asked most last minute as three of mine went down… and they all stepped in and stepped up
It was a safe and held TranceDance - which means everything to me

There is a knowing in you that doesn’t need to be figured out. ..

It needs to be moved.

Most of us have spent years outsourcing the authority on ourselves.
To the experts, partners, to systems that were never built around our bodies or our knowing…

This is three hours of something different.
