Hey, I've Been Pretty Quiet.
Want to know what's been blooming in the stillness?
Hey you!
I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately. And I’ve missed writing to you. So, I want to tell you what’s been happening behind the scenes.
I’ve been doing some deep work, not just within myself (heartbreak, legal matters, grief), but within Blooming Euphoria as well.
I had a feeling that this fire horse year would ignite something inside of me, but I didn’t think it would be this powerful. I’ve been inspired lately, and doing more, and when I do, I need to keep that momentum going. Let’s just say I’ve been doing a lot!
You’ve been with me through many stages of Blooming Euphoria’s evolution. So, I invite you to read my updated About page to learn a little about the roots of BE and me.
Here’s what I’ve been up to, what’s coming down the line, and what I’m excited to share with you.
Bloom Letters & Notes
Bloom Letters are my love letters to you. Whether I write about yoga, magick, life lessons, spiritual growth, or healing arts, every letter is intended to inspire and support you in your own self-healing, inner transformation, and soul evolution journey.
The Notes are little moments of life that I choose to share with you. Little pockets of my world, moments in nature, synchronicity stories, or quotes and questions that I ponder. I might just share something to get it out of my head, but it’s shared with you for a reason nonetheless.
Following Callings
This is a section that I actually debated writing on an entirely different Substack, anonymously.
However, I have decided that since my life seems to be an open book, always has been and probably always will be, I might as well share these stories as part of Blooming Euphoria.
Following Callings is a collection of personal essays and intimate short stories from my life. My lived experience. Heartbreak. Synchronicity. Psychic moments. Love stories. Random (but not so random) encounters. Who knows what will come to the surface once I dive down into that ocean…
These stories are so intimate, vulnerable, and real — the kind I’d only share with those who feel like family, or curled up on the couch having tea at some odd hour. That’s why Following Callings lives in the paid tier. Consider it an invitation to know Jess on a deeper level. A window into her thoughts, her soul, her world. ✨
Live Yoga Classes (a little oasis to journey inward)
Yoga was always something that I felt called to, and it has become the prominent branch in BE. In my article “So, I’ve been keeping a little secret”, I announced that I was doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
Well, that took longer to complete than I had anticipated. With the loss of my best friend and kitty, Ella, moving houses, working full-time as a bartender, travelling, and falling in love…it kinda took a backseat for a minute.
It’s funny, because I stress out about not completing something by the time I think it should be completed, but the Universe always has its own timeline. Everything works out in its divine timing, and that’s another thing I’m continuously reminded of.
So, after all that time, I am excited to announce that I am officially launching in-person yoga classes! This is a dream come true.
I won’t be working out of a “yoga studio” per se. I’ve rented this beautiful multi-use space called Heart Work (isn’t that a fitting name?) that just happens to have everything for teaching yoga. It’s intimate. It’s cozy. It has the evening sunshine. It’s perfect.
Every Monday night, from 7 pm - 8 pm, I will be teaching a Hatha Yoga Foundations class. A slow, flow, feel into your body kinda class. We will move through some of the basics: yoga philosophy, pranayama, and asanas. We will focus on somatic movement, resetting the nervous system, and strengthening the relationship that we have with our bodies.
Yoga Nidra and sound baths are also coming soon — so stay tuned!
If you’re in the Victoria, BC area and you want to join one of my classes, you can find more info here. I would love to see you on the mat.
1:1 Private Yoga (a little time for just you and me)
In addition to yoga classes, I am offering one-on-one yoga sessions. These sessions will be available virtually, through a video call, or in-person, either at the studio, your home, or somewhere in nature — like a park or a beach.
A private yoga session is designed entirely for you. Whether we focus on breathwork, asanas, energy healing, meditation, or simply talk about life and how you’re developing your own yogic lifestyle, our time together is devoted to deepening your practice, calming your nervous system, and supporting your healing and growth.
If you feel a private session could support your practice or lifestyle, you can book with me here.
1:1 Private Tarot & Oracle Readings
Tarot is not something I pursued, but something that pursued me!
I have been playing with decks for at least 10 years now, for my own self-inquiry and understanding of the world. I’ve collected many Oracle and Tarot decks over the years (I’m even creating my own!), and I’ve received the message over and over again, from Spirit and from people in my world, that I should be offering readings.
I’ve done some in the past, but I am now officially offering both 30-minute and 60-minute private readings. A one-on-one session to gain clarity into a situation, explore what’s stirring beneath the surface, and reconnect with your own inner knowing. Both are available either through video call or in person at our chosen location.
Tarot is a tool you can use to strengthen your intuition. It is a mirror that reflects your own subconscious back to you, sparking insight, clarity, and “aha” moments that you might not tap into otherwise. Together, we explore different areas of your life in hopes of guiding you on your highest path.
You can book a 30-minute reading for a quick intuitive session, or a 60-minute reading for a deeper dive.
I’ll see you at the Tarot table!
Cacao & Cards
This is something I’ve been wanting to offer for a while now. At the beginning of every month, I’m going to enjoy a hot cup of ceremonial cacao and pull some cards to pick up on the vibe of the month ahead!
Whether you also choose cacao, or you make some tea or hot water and lemon, I invite you to join me in this monthly ritual. It’s cozy, it’s laid-back, and it’s fun to see what the cards have to say.
Recordings will be available to all subscribers. As the community grows and we move to live sessions, the lives will be available to paid subscribers. Some things are just better experienced together in real time. Get your favourite cup and your curiosity ready!
The Bloom Room
Well, that’s this space right here! I’ve landed on “The Bloom Room” because this is the room where all the blooming into goodness happens. This is Blooming Euphoria’s space for Bloom Letters, Following Callings stories, Cacao & Cards ceremonies, little notes of everyday magick…and all the messy bits in between.
As a free subscriber, you get access to Bloom Letters, Notes, Cacao & Cards (pre-recorded videos), and My Offerings. As a paid subscriber, that access extends to Following Callings, Cacao & Cards (LIVE), and a 20% discount on 1:1 private sessions with me.
I am beyond excited and happy about what Blooming Euphoria has bloomed into. For those of you who have been with me from the start, wow. You have seen many versions of BE and still stuck around. For that, I am grateful. For those of you who are new, welcome. You arrived at a fun time!
Here’s to the next chapter. I’m so overjoyed to experience life with you. Thank you for being here.
With love.
This is like a breakthrough. The space is open , there will be more one-on-one contact available.
I have done your Tarot and got Great clarity from it. I am shy about yoga , but I feel that I need to try it. Thank you for your vision of what could be. -Jim
