Welcome to the first week of our Advent journey, a tender exploration into the intertwining threads of hope and sorrow. In these moments of gathering, we acknowledge the complexity of the season—embracing both the anticipation of hope and the weight of grief that may accompany us. As we light the initial candle, the Prophet's Candle, we illuminate the path toward hope. This week is an invitation to sit with the tender ache within, to honor the narratives of sorrow that shape our days. In the soft glow of the flickering candle, we recognize that hope is not the absence of grief but the gentle companion that walks beside us through every shadowed corner. Our reflections this week will be a delicate dance between memories that evoke smiles and moments that draw tears. Together, we will navigate the terrain of loss with the lantern of hope, seeking solace in the understanding that the two can coexist harmoniously. Join us in this sacred space of introspection and connection, where we honor the reality of our emotions and nurture the fragile buds of hope within. May this week's journey be a whispered promise that even in the midst of sorrow, the flame of hope continues to cast its comforting glow on our hearts.

Inspired by Lewis Carole’s poem, The Jabberwocky, and one word, MANGALISO, I set out to focus on how others can daily experience the amazement (Mangaliso is Zulu for “YOU ARE AN AMAZEMENT”) of their own being.

There are frightful realities that exist, learning how to overcome them and thrive is what I am about in life and at work. Whether the “beast” is imposter syndrome, the inner critic, stress, anxiety, burn-out or fatigue there are ways to vanquish the obstacles that stand in the way.

Hi, my name is Elle Miller, and I am a passionate trauma-informed SOMATIC therapist (C-IAYT, 500 hr Therapeutic Yoga Specialist, 200 hr Experienced Yoga Instructor) who truly believes in the healing power of integrative mind-body-spirit modalities.

The greatest gift somatic therapy has given me is deeper breaths and a calmer mind, more connection to myself as I truly am as well as the ability to connect to others more authentically.

I’ve owned local businesses in Blacksburg, VA and Charlotte, NC for many years and have been involved in online leadership since 2004. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help me help you, whether that’s in-person or online.
