Dear MVMNT Community,
Embracing Water Element & Capricorn Season
As we journey through Capricorn season, we’re called to ground ourselves in structure, discipline, and purpose while staying open to the fluid wisdom of the element of water, that which unifies all life.
Capricorn, ruled by earth, helps us build solid foundations for our dreams, while water reminds us to flow, adapt, and honor our emotional depths.
This season invites us to harmonize ambition with intuition, balancing our practical goals with the nurturing, cleansing energy of water. It’s a time to reflect on what truly supports us and release what no longer serves, creating space for growth and renewal.
Together, these elements guide us on a powerful journey of self-discovery. An opportunity to walk the shadow path—courageously examining the patterns, beliefs, and attachments that no longer serve our highest good. The grounded energy of Capricorn helps us face these truths with structure and intention, while Water teaches us to soften, release, and flow through the process of letting go.
By embracing this Duality, we create space for growth and renewal, allowing our inner foundation to align with the life we are building. Finding our inner strength along the path means realizing we aren’t alone. We know we have a community of truth seekers, alchemists and conscious co creators ready to reach into our toolboxes and offer a space for any state of emotional being, a story to reflect upon, a space to dance in the shadows alongside one another as we navigate this thing called Life.
Utilizing our tools is how we create trust within our system. It’s what we lean on when the waters get murky or the mud gets thick. It’s what allows our being to continue healthy “output” rather than storing stress in our bodies. The tools allow for authentic expression that guides us back to our center and connection to Source.
So how do we learn through the season? For me, it’s through observing nature and the wisdom it has to offer. Taking Imbolc, for example, the mid-point between Winter and Spring, whose name translates to “in the belly”.
Metaphorically, "in the belly" symbolizes the fertile, creative potential that resides within us—the birthplace of freedom, self-expression, and healing. Just as Imbolc marks the stirring of life within the earth, it invites us to connect with our inner wellspring of vitality and transformation.
In this context of authentic embodiment we find
Freedom: The belly is the center of our physical and emotional core, where our deepest truths reside. Connecting to this space through authentic movement and presence allows us to release societal expectations and inhabit our bodies with unapologetic freedom.
Self-Expression: The belly, linked to the sacral chakra, is the source of intuition and creativity. By tuning into our embodied sensations and emotions, we give voice to our authentic selves, expressing what words often cannot convey.
Healing: Embodiment practices that focus on awareness and connection to the belly foster grounding and self-integration. By honoring the wisdom held in this space, we create room for emotional release, renewal, and a deeper connection to our inner and outer world.
Through authentic embodiment, Imbolc reminds us that the seeds of our potential are alive and waiting to grow. Moving and living from this centered place becomes a sacred act of awakening, a way to honor our life “in the belly” and bring it into full bloom.
I’d love to hear how you move through the Winter season and the ways your healing tools connect you with freedom, self-expression, and renewal. Whether it’s through intentional movement, grounding rituals, or simply tuning into your inner world, your unique practices inspire transformation and growth. Share your journey—what stirs “in the belly” for you during this time of introspection and rebirth? Let’s explore the wisdom of Winter together.
