Tales, Tools & Tips for your Soul's Expansion
When we were in the grocery store the other day, a woman that used to frequent our restaurants and play our stages said “I see you in your evolution and all you are becoming and I think it is magnificent.” It sparked this month's theme of Soul Expansion. Usually, when we walk around town people often ask will you do another restaurant? We miss it! And as much as we love to hear it, we also love when we can share what we are up to now. Same mission, totally new vision and an invitation to build new systems by raising our energy together in community. It feels so powerful and so alive for us and right on time with these times. These times are calling for all of us as a humanity to expand our souls. So this month we launch into just that. Read on for practices to support your soul's expansion and to see all that we are launching into life this month.
Healing Activation: 5 Ways to Transform Your Health
What kind of people are drawn to Shine Living Community? One attribute is that they all have a desire to learn how to empower themselves - to heal and grow (and Shine!) from the inside out. And this is exactly what we are working with this month. HEALING ACTIVATION.
Getting To The Root ✨
Strong mighty roots help us survive and thrive when the winds of change and transition come… which it always does. The deeper and stronger we root, the higher we can climb and the stronger we stand. This month we practice how to build rich soil for our roots to grow deep and strong. Read on to find out how…
The Path Of Awakening
The Path of Awakening happens through the body ~ through awareness of sensations, feelings, and emotions. At Shine Living Community we practice accessing this through movement, stillness, breath, and community. In these potent times that we are living, there is a choice point before us. One path is about division and being a victim to outside circumstances bringing up fear and confusion OR the path of awakening, which is accessing our power through our own body’s wisdom, our own inner compass. Where are you on the path? Are you willing to allow the path of awakening to unfold? If so, read on.
Vegan Cesar Dressing
Our vegan version of the Classic Cesar dressing has been a staple for years. We love it as a dip for cold chicken, with raw veggies, on sandwiches, and of course as the salad dressing. We like to make it in bigger batches and stash it in the fridge, so it’s at the ready for snacking.
3 POWERFUL techniques for Self-Love Activation 🔥♥️
FEBRUARY IS A TIME FOR LOVE, HEALTH AND SELF-HEALING.
The relationship to ourselves is the single most important relationship in our life, period. It directly affects our experience of life as well as every other relationship in our life. It is vital, especially in the world we live in which can bombard us with messaging that may lead to feelings of unworthiness, that we come back to our practice that takes us to a deeper knowing of self-love.
Composting & Regenerating
Happy 2024, y’all! This is going to be an incredible year of composting and regeneration on a global and personal scale. Can you feel it? We are here - with you and for you - as we ride the waves with courage, curiosity and love.
Holy Wholeness
Wholeness is living from a state of health and wellbeing. It does not come from anything outside of us. Wholeness comes from INside, from self love and acceptance. It is not perfection rather a feeling of connection in mind, body and soul. It takes curiosity, discovery, presence, self awareness and self love. Challenges and failure can also lead to more wholeness because it unveils to us more of who we are.
Unleash Your Warrior Heart
This month’s thrival kit to elevate our experience from surviving to thriving includes a 10-minute warrior workout, a nourishing dessert the whole family will love to make and devour together, and a beautiful meditation to INpower.
The Healer Within
Here at Shine Living Community, we support the natural healing process by raising our energy and by learning to deeply listen within. When we practice this in community, it amplifies the results because the energy is literally and scientifically proven to be contagious. This is why we have created an inspiring community of people willing and ready to heal from the inside out.
Dance, yoga, breath, meditation, holistic nutrition, COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION are the pathways to bring us into an elevated state and when our energy is elevated, we can see possibilities that we can’t see when we are stuck in fear. We also become empowered in our body and in our mind which brings us into balance, our healing state.
Trust in Transitions
3 years ago we made the heartfelt decision to shut down our restaurants, our Shine Potions herbal beverage company and essentially our entire career that we had built for 25 years. It was a huge leap into the unknown with only trust and our courageous hearts as our compass. What was clear was that it was a time of great change internally as well as globally and we were ready to build community in new ways beyond the four walls of our restaurants and gathering places. We let go of all of it. We are sure many of you can relate with this in your own experience of life these past few years.
Why POWER WITH is the key to our EVOLUTION
It’s a triplet LEO Birthday Celebration Month! We were born as triplet sisters and instead of dropping into competition, we chose collaboration which is why we are as connected as ever as we enter our 49th year. It is also why we chose to make this month about POWER WITH.
Tuning IN Instead of Tuning Out
Many of us have been taught that we need to wait for the “right” circumstances in our outside world to create the feeling we want on the inside. What we have learned and continue to practice daily is that we have the power to create the feeling INSIDE first and as we learn to harness and shift our feelings from the inside, we begin to witness how it shifts the unfolding of our outer world. This is living and creating our lives from the inside out.

BEGIN WITHIN
Journaling or writing is a tool we use to help clear the brain, to work out a challenge by prompting certain questions and see what wants to come, or to remember or share an experience or teaching that has shifted our view of the world. Each entry will have prompts to ponder and write if you are called to. BEGIN WITHIN…..
