What is Sacred Self-Leadership?

Adora Winquist March 24, 2024

What comes to mind when you hear the term “sacred self-leadership”? Often, we consider leadership as a structured term along a scale of authority. It may be a top-ranking general for military operations or the boardroom hierarchy of business organizations like Oprah Winfrey. There are also leaders like Tony Robbins that are inspirational in nature offering innovative ways of thinking, behaving and reaching …

A Modern Alchemy Ritual for Spring Equinox

Adora Winquist March 19, 2024

The brightness of Spring. The reawakening of life. Not only does the earth come alive again in the northern hemisphere, but so do we. The Spring Equinox is a time of new beginnings, the renewing of hope for the future and the vibrancy of our present. Spring is a time for planting seeds of intention.

Are You a Modern Alchemist?

Adora Winquist March 2, 2024

Traditional Alchemy is considered to focus on transmuting base metals to gold, but true alchemy is the process of finding the gold that is held inside all of your life’s experiences to date. The path of the modern alchemist is a quest to find the master keys to your most fulfilling and vibrant life. It is the hero or heroine’s journey that focuses on transforming the world within you.

6 Reasons Why a Retreat is Essential to YOU in 2024

Adora Winquist January 26, 2024

Welcome 2024, the year of the Dragon and the number 8, tapping into the infinite potential of your passion and sacred purpose. My motto for this year (and life) is Carpe Diem. We can seize both the day and this very moment. It is within this moment that a doorway of transformation, filled with potential opens and we can transform and uplift ourselves to new levels of joy, vibrancy and clarity, rising as the sacred self leader of our most abundant and authentic life.

Abundance: Expanding Your Receivership

Adora Winquist October 18, 2023

From a seasonal perspective, Fall is a time of harvest. We reap the great bounty of our gardens of plenty: Both physically for those of us that cultivate home gardens as well as metaphorically. As we reflect on the latter and focus inward, we can see how our intentional seeds of creation have grown to bear the fruits of our creativity, love, and vitality. Are you inspired by what is flourishing in your life right now?

Fall Equinox

Adora Winquist September 3, 2023

The Fall Equinox marks a rare intersection of the Sun and the celestial realms creating a potent planetary alignment, heightening the alchemical frequencies for intentional creation. From a seasonal perspective, this is a time of harvest. We reap the great bounty of our gardens of plenty: Both physically for those of us that cultivate home gardens as well as metaphorically.

5 Ways to Manifest Self Love

Adora Winquist March 29, 2023

The aroma of spring is in the air. A hint of awakening daffodils, hyacinth, and a touch of warmth comes through the cool morning breeze. Spring is a time of new beginnings, hope for the future, and a fresh infusion of energy and lifeforce. To fully receive this renewed sense of vitality and clarity, we are called to let go of the old patterns that no longer serve us.

Neroli to Awaken the Mystical Heart

Adora Winquist March 3, 2023

Neroli’s bright aroma lifts the spirit and speaks to the remembrance of joy and lightheartedness. Neroli is highly beneficial for those who tend to be harsh and critical of themselves and can assist in shifting this energy to that of self-love and compassion. This oil assists in dissolving extreme emotions like jealousy, anger, and self-hatred. It aids in settling shock and counterbalancing PTSD.

Realistic New Year's Resolutions

Adora Winquist February 4, 2023

To feel better, we need to revolutionize how we view our practices on self-care and self-love. I believe that all change first starts with an invitation. What do you want to invite in for your greater holistic health and wellbeing in this moment as well as this year? Start general. That way, neither the body or mind can put up a wall of resistance to change, which is sometimes a natural psychological response.

How to Maintain Sacred Relationships

Adora Winquist January 3, 2023

After spending time with family, friends, or enjoying peaceful solitude over the holidays, it's an inspiring time to reflect on relationships. Sacred relationships. Also, because I’m leading a retreat in late January, I’m spending the next few weeks writing and reflecting on the value each person plays in a relationship. Today, I want to focus on sacred relationships and partnerships. To me, that means unity for longevity.

The Pen of Liberation

Adora Winquist November 18, 2022

Once I've shifted my perspective, I know I can have a different response. I know I can have a different reaction—my reaction to all of the world of transformation. My reaction to the situation around me and how it has changed indicates my transformational journey. The more I become aware of my reaction and response, the more I can harness the power within me to modulate it in ways that honor and hold compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and love for every step along my journey.

Making Room for Greatness in Your Life

Adora Winquist November 4, 2022

What do you think of when you hear the word great? Is your first impression positive as It’s a great day, filled with benevolence? Do you sense the greatness of who you are and the magnificence of who you are becoming? Or do you think and feel first of the great chaos in the world, in your life, or the great to-do list on your fridge or desk?

The Invitation for Co-Creation

Adora Winquist October 27, 2022

There have been many times over the course of my journey where if I’m being honest with myself, didn't really know what I wanted out of my experience in this life. I may have had a few goals or desires which would drive my daily actions, but looking at it from a big-picture perspective, my intentions for my own path of self-mastery were somewhat vague.

The Alchemy of Release

Adora Winquist October 14, 2022

I'll share this piece from my journey when I went down my rabbit hole, which was excruciating. It brought an old pattern of being attacked. What I forgot to see was that it was time for something new to be burned. I didn't know what it was in those moments, which was incredibly painful because it was like, Who am I? What is my identity? Why am I here? That's when I had to take the time to integrate the experience of release.

SOS: The Adora Frequency: Open

Adora Winquist October 9, 2022

I thought I would share a little story with you that is germane to the Adora Frequency and how it relates to me as an individual, as well as the Brennan school. For those of you that have gone through the program, you know we go into the depth of our core wounding in the first year. In the very first experience, we were brought back into the state of infancy and core wounding of the schizoid characterology, which was quite a surprise.

Focusing Inward

Adora Winquist January 11, 2022

Welcome to today’s Seeds of the Spirit meditation and journey on focusing inward. Now more than ever, we are called to shift our gaze from the outer experiences and manifestations of life to our inner planes of creation, conscious and subconsciousness patterning to connect, care and commune with our authentic selves in a deeper way. It’s a wonderful time to bring the energy of revitalization, regeneration, and nurturing. One of the focuses today will be to bring this healing light to any part of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies that need support and are calling out for attention, love, and connection. Tremendous power is held in harnessing the present moment with our positive intention for transformation, transmutation and quantum leaping along our own evolutionary spiral.
