A little closing ceremony. A new beginning. ✨

Two years ago, I arrived in Mexico, never imagining how much this land would become part of my journey.

After living here on and off, travelling, exploring and moving through some of the most profound transformations of my life, I felt it was finally time to visit Chichén Itza - One of the New 7th Wonders of the World, just a couple of hours from where I’d spent so much time.

I went with the intention to do a little ceremony, give thanks to Mexico & honour the closing of this chapter.

And what an experience it turned out to be!

I thought I was booking a room for one night. Instead, I discovered an entire paradise: a historic property dating back to 1923, with beautiful architecture, ancient trees and magnificent gardens. It felt like stepping into another world.

Somehow, I had almost the entire place to myself.
While I was there, I discovered it had welcomed royalty, international figures and some of the world’s most celebrated artists and musicians, including the legendary Luciano Pavarotti.

I booked one night. I ended up staying three. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave.

Watching the sunset, wandering through the grounds, taking in the architecture and slipping into the pool.. I was completely immersed in the magic of it all. What an honour to be somewhere so extraordinary, right beside this ancient city.

I’d gone there to give thanks to the land, but left feeling as though the land was giving something back to me — reflecting the transformation I’d moved through and showing me how much had shifted.

This journey has taken me through one of the most profound processes of unraveling and transformation. What I understand as a process of death and rebirth — shedding even more layers of old identities, roles, patterns and beliefs, and returning to something much deeper: my original essence.

Not becoming someone new, but remembering more of who I am. Moving into a deeper level of consciousness, freedom and connection with life.

I feel I’ve stepped into another level of my journey, and I’m deeply grateful.

Mexico, thank you. ❤️
