Hello - as many of you said such lovely timing for this program. I am late to start but am in the midst of many time-consuming transitions (finishing up the last class / essay of my master's program and pregnancy!). But I absolutely love the Vow to Bloom through all of it, with the time and physical capacity I have available. Looking forward to practicing virtually with you all and reading about all your sweet revelations here.

Hi everyone! I'm Diana. I'm completing the 2nd day of the program now.  Happy to be here with you. I'm ukrainian living  in Tahoe, CA and it's a real winter here. And it's dark and cold and I also feel the same. I just want to go to bed and sleep for a few months lol. Realy need some warmth. As to warm up my body with exercise and my heart with human connections in this time of mind, body and the world. Thank you Meghan!

Hi sweet people, hi lovely Meghan!

I am Anna from Berlin and I'm so happy to finally say hi and thank you! Because WOW, this program comes at the absolut right time for me! I feel pretty stuck and misaligned in my life right now and I want to create a business as a Shiatsu practitioner in Berlin next year, which I am very excited about, but it also brings up so much anxiety. I have and want to let go of so many things and really want to follow what feels like a healing path for me. So yes! Next year I want to bloom and I am incredibly grateful for having this program to support me along the way. Thank you so deeply Meghan for bringing this up and for all your effort and love you put into it 💗 I already worked a lot with the journal questions (so helpful!) and am very excited for the restorative practice, that I'm going to relax into now :)

All the best and a happy insightful journey to you all ❤️🙏

Second week check-in:

I followed the daily practices when, suddenly, I was surprised, again, by another program.

Not timely for me, yet attractive.

Just landed in this one year long retreat, another one it would be much more than I can handle right now. I want to honor my vow well, as I understood it when I decided to participate.

Anyway, I’m taking care of my mother since pandemics and lately she needs increasingly my assistance. It’s like another vow that I am commited to.

So, I'm ready to start our 3rd week here, bloomers companions!

Yesterday finally rain bowed here. Like me now

Hello! My name is Bones and I am from Cornwall in England. I have noticed quite a few of you have mentioned the beautiful timing of this program and I too feel the timing is perfect!

This past year has felt like a very introspective year for me.. (maybe the last 10 years but the intensity upped this year) I've found myself asking myself why a lot. I feel like at times I've become so aware of all the beliefs and programs I've been carrying around with me about myself and life for so long. I've had moments where I've really not known who i am anymore and with it comes either fear or a big sense of relief or if I'm honest I think its a combination of both at once like I'm dancing between the two.

I've always been a very creative person. I've had a really deep calling over the past few years to share my music and paintings that have been my way of processing, yet I've gotten caught in doubt, fear of rejection and wanting to keep myself small because of all the limited beliefs I've been carrying around. 

The build up to this program felt like the apex of it all, of me getting really bored and sick of all these beliefs. I"m starting to realise that the less I'm buying into negative thoughts about myself the more space is opening up in me that sometimes feels scary because I don't know who I am anymore but also a sense of freedom and newness. So I really wanted to say thank you Meghan and team for the beautiful timing of this program, for the love energy and work being put into it. For facilitating this community which has felt so needed for me this past year of unfolding, to remember I'm not alone and its safe to be raw and authentic. I have loved so much reading everyones comments! They are so inspiring. 

This online studio has always given me grounding but a vow to bloom is next level. It is an anchor for me, a remembering. Thank you! I'm so excited to take this journey with all of you. This first week has already been so opening and is really solidifying my next steps and the whispers of my heart. Thank you for reading. LETS BLOOM! 

I'm Heidi and I am so excited for this magical journey! Thank you Meghan for creating this.
I work with Meghan here in Bali and with the team we have here, so it's been a real busy few weeks getting everything prepared! 
Can't wait to finally be dropping into this space as a participant and dropping deeper into heart space which can be difficult in our busy lives so I'm happy to be here on both sides of the mirror - working on it and working in it. 
Blooming takes it's own pace so I feel I have the space to really re-center myself and spirit over the next 12 months. Love it!
Thank you beautiful Meghan. 

Day 3 and I already love how the classes communicate/relate to one another. Thank you so much Meghan & team for providing and sharing this magical practice. I'm really excited for it to unfold. <3 Lydia

Salut Salut beautiful community. I am Hannah, and I live in Swannanoa, NC, (down the road from Asheville, NC) in the triumphant Blue Ridge Mountains. Our community just experienced Hurricane Helene, and it is a tender wound we are all tending too. Originally from Louisiana, I am not a stranger to mother nature's Kali energy. I bow to it, and this time has now become a catalyst.

Before this, I had my own wounds, some self-induced, and others caused both intentionally and unintentionally by others. I felt as if I was already being buried alive, gasping for air. I threw my triple fire sign composition into overdoing at the gym, fawning over my children and partner, and leaving very little for my own self. I lost my yoga practice, but the night of the hurricane, the truth of the destruction hidden by the night and the slowly rising river, I found hope again.

I picked up Be Love Now by Ram Dass, I bought a new yoga mat and forced myself into spirit. I knew this was the only way to remind myself, not distract myself any further. Light began seeping back into my soul, and as much as I tried to shut it out (I can be a bit Bukowski like at time), it silently held my hand. Through community, through family, through my children, through my patients working as a registered nurse, through my partner. 

That is what brings me here today. Along with adoring Meghan since the Cody app back when I first really found yoga. This is the type of yoga that changes the world, the one that begins in self-prayer, no expectations, only explorations.

Thank you, thank you, I am so honored to be here with you all.

Hi everyone, I’m Leandro, also from Argentina, Spanish and Portuguese teacher.

I was surprised by this unexpected and timely program and… I am already in the cocoon reflecting!

Many thanks, Meghan, for you and for creating this growing space here.

My apologies if I do any mistakes, my English language is still in development.

Sunny waves from our spring here to you all!

My name is Korrin and I live in Indiana. This opportunity came about at the most perfect time for me. As a mother of 3 and a registered nurse it can be hard to make space for myself. Vow to bloom is an amazing opportunity for self care and inner growth and  I am allowing myself to carve out some time for myself everyday. 

I am so excited to go through this journey of self discovery throughout the year, it’s something I have been craving since I had my youngest almost 4 years ago.
