The Rise of the Co-creative Feminine
by Samantha Orthlieb“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them” ― Denis Waitley The heinous, attempted murder of 14 year old Malala Yousufzai in Pakistan this past week should give all of us pause to reflect on the state of our relationship with our […]
My Confession
by Samantha OrthliebI have a confession to make – Since April of this year I have violently thrown up four times. None of these physical happenings were related to “illness”. The first time lasted for an entire day which then gradually decreased to the fourth time of just a few minutes. It always happens in the morning, […]
Trusting the Guru Archetype, or The Shift is hitting the Fan!
by Samantha OrthliebWe can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when [adults] are afraid of the light. Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing […]
Full Moon Friday Shake-up
by Samantha OrthliebAs we move, albeit stumbling here and there, into co-creation I have made it my co-creative mandate to connect more with my blog followers on a regular basis. I realize that many of you do not frequent or use Facebook or Twitter where I post tidbits more often on what is happening in and around […]
A Rebirth into Co-creation
by Samantha Orthlieb“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” (Albert Einstein) “Reinvention is not changing what is, but creating what isn’t. A butterfly is not an improved caterpillar; a butterfly is a different creature.” (Tracy Goss) With the astrological events of Lunar Lammas and Mercury in Retrograde now behind us, the universal […]

We are also heading into Mercury Retrograde on the 14th, a period of possible miscommunication and travel issues. This solar storm combined with this astrological event will bring very potent energy […]
Creating Your Life
by Samantha OrthliebBlessings on the Summer Solstice! From January until now, we have all been grappling with a sense of ambiguity about our spiritual and soulful destinations. This has also been a time of grieving and letting go of the past; we have had to collectively take the time to honour our healing process for ourselves and […]
Transcending the Victim Archetype
by Samantha Orthlieb“Courage is the heart’s blossom” – Mark Nepo Clara* trudged into my office and plopped her petite body down onto my consult chair. Her hardened face revealed that she had experienced life without gleaning its wisdom; she radiated resentment and resignation, and, though her gaze was direct, her eyes were listless. The dark circles […]
Are You Receiving a Wake-up call from the Universe?
by Samantha OrthliebThe other day I was totally humbled and learned a valuable lesson in self love. My day started out normally enough: I could feel spring in the air and the sun warming the earth. I was feeling bouncy and blissful and grateful for all the wonderful people, animals, and plants in my life. Halfway through […]
Mystical Journey to Peru: Beyond the Ego
by Samantha OrthliebAfter a long, twenty hour plane ride, I finally arrived in Cusco, Peru. I was immediately hit with dizziness and fatigue from the high elevation (Cusco is at 11 000 ft), but I soon became aware of a different sensation: the energy around me in the tiny airport was alive, throbbing even. “What is this […]
Befriending The Saboteur Archetype
by Samantha OrthliebI had a client remark to me the other day that she thought the herbs I had given her were creating the emotional upheaval and mental instability that she was experiencing. I replied that the opposite was true: plant medicine, or any kind of vibrational medicine, actually cushions us from our own destructive patterns. To […]
Do You Remember Who You Are?
by Samantha OrthliebIt definitely feels to me like January has started out quietly. For the first time since the frantic, revolutionary energies of 2011, many of us can breathe, be still, and take a panoramic snapshot of our lives. We are now sitting in stillness and reflection as we ask ourselves “where are we going now?” It […]
