When "Enough" Is No Where To Be Found

photo by Dzmitry Shepeleu Yesterday I felt a deep sense of frustration. A frustration rooted in the feeling of lack. Of not enough. Of always needing more. Of the job never being done. Of all the energy we put out serving our needs only momentarily before the world asks more of us, always. That somehow sufficiency, satiety and contentment are all entirely fleeting experiences. This notion became a somatic embodiment of stress. A funk I simply couldn’t shake. It left me feelin

The Spaces Between: Where Solace Lives

photo by Justin Leubke I sit with the sun and the easeful September air and the morning dove in her song as the reddish-brown leaves slowly cascade from above. I also sit with a deep desire to remain simply unbothered. Or as unbothered as is possible in this society we live in. I find myself yearning for space, for peace, for quiet. For living along my own timeline and way of life. Is retreating to a cabin in the woods even the answer anymore, with all this wildness of weathe

The Sacredness of Place as a Doorway to Belonging

There are lessons that we learn abruptly in life, as we navigate new territory and develop our experience of the world. And then there are those lessons that are only to be grasped through time, reflection and the evolution of our own spirit and understanding of what’s available to us on our journey. The appreciation for the concept of home is one such lesson. At least it has presented itself in that way for me, slowly over the expanse of my life experience as it has widened

The Wisdom of Spring

Can you feel it? The awakening of the earth? The drive to move outward? The intoxication of the sun’s potent energy calling you towards nature? I can. And it feels magnetic. Today marks the spring equinox, and for many, this time also ushers in the true beginning of a new year. As the world around us begins to shift and sprout from the dark depths of winter’s dormancy, we too are called to bring forth new life into the realms of being. For some, we’ve felt as though we are si

The Opposing Forces of Society & Soul

Photo: Life in Ceremony Life has been tricky lately. I work to center myself on peace and stillness many days as the world seemingly erupts around me. To the eye, my community feels nothing. The surfers still run down the streets, surfboard underarm and bare feet, eyes set on the sea. The coffee shops and restaurants abundantly lining the town (and new ones emerging everyday) are still stirring with nonchalant conversation with their nut-free, dairy free, half-caff latte art.

Harvesting Abundance

Today I invite you to take a pause. This is a special moment in time, one we witness each year, as the seasons subtly shift. A gradual slowing begins its steady process towards the inner most realm as we approach the fall equinox here in the northern hemisphere. Today we witness the full Harvest Moon, also known as the Corn Moon to the native people of this land. It represents the abundance we cultivate from the land at this time. The reaping of the seeds we planted in spring

Hello there,

I'm Mia, a holistic and intentional living advocate to my core. Throughout my life, I've rooted deeply into the ancient intelligence and practices that have sustained us for thousands of years. With over a decades experience as a creative and designer, and now finding my voice as a writer, certified Holistic Health Coach and Reiki Healing Arts Practitioner – where I've had the honor of becoming a student of ritual and wisdom through Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic practices and ancient energetic healing modalities originating in Japan – I've begun to witness my craft of the wild interconnected web of life and all it's art forms weaving together in an unexpected way.

Some things will always ring true though. I'm passionate about traveling light, wanderlust, creative living, simple joys, finding stillness, and a definition of happiness and success that lives in the eye of the beholder.

With an emphasis on profound simplicity and self-discovery, Life in Ceremony honors intentional living with a holistic foundation that deeply connects to the powers rooted in nature and returning to our own wild state. For this is where well-being and profound healing (and creative life force) can naturally take place, on both an individual and collective level.
