The Lion's Gate stands open: An invitation to shed the old, to feel your own primal power and to feel completely whole. About the art of being both tender and wild, resting in the shadows, taking charge of your own guidance and deeply enjoying life in all its facets.
Through the Lion's Gate: The Art of Leading Yourself, Being Whole, and Celebrating Life...
Sometimes a great power announces itself very quietly. Almost hesitantly. We immediately associate the lion with roaring, strength, and untamed energy. But the lion is also a creature of subtle nuances. It knows exactly when it is time to lie in the cool shade, feel the wind in its fur, and simply do absolutely nothing.
The Lion's Gate stands wide open. Every year around August 8, the cosmic energy of the sun in the sign of Leo aligns with the rising of the fixed star Sirius. It is a gate of renewal—and an invitation to find your own rhythm.
Wild, Tender, and Unconditionally Whole
For me personally, this gate has never felt so real as it does now. I am crossing a threshold, leaving the old behind, and consciously stepping into my own leadership.
This also includes the realization: I am allowed to feel whole. Right here, right now. It is perfectly okay to be who you are—with all your wild facets, but also with your tenderness, your doubts, and your quiet moments. Being whole does not mean that everything is always perfect, but that we stop fighting ourselves.
Your Own Lion: Pleasure, Strength, and the Permission to Be
Riding your own lion means embracing the full spectrum of life:
-
The Art of Doing Nothing: Stretching out in the shade, recharging your strength, and knowing that breaks are not a weakness, but pure wisdom.
-
The Untamable Primal Force: Feeling a wild energy and being ready to do something and to be something in order to live well and authentically. It is the power to shed or tear away the old and unnecessary without hesitation, creating space for the new.
-
Pure Joy of Life: Not just getting through life, but actively celebrating its joy, enjoying the summer, and letting the warmth into your heart.
Taking Charge and Working Within the Pride
Lions live in prides. They take responsibility for one another and ensure that the community functions. Therefore, stepping into your own leadership does not mean placing yourself above others. It means taking responsibility for your own happiness so that you can be a healing, strong part of the whole.
I am shedding my old skin. I am stepping through the gate—tender and powerful at the same time. I am ready to live, to lead, and to celebrate joy.
Can you also simply feel whole today and give yourself permission to be exactly who you are?
