‘Free to Wonder’ is a newsletter about your Essential Nature ✨
Hello and Welcome
Free to Wonder is a newsletter written by me, Heather Briann. Here is Jai jai (Her full name is Jaiya, my 11 year old travel mate) and I twinning in our happy place: outside, savoring the sun.
I am adventurer through and through. A journeyer of both the inner and outer realms. I am a self proclaimed Sun Goddess and everyone I know agrees. I follow the warm weather and plan to continue to do so until my body tells me it’s time to root in one location once again.
People fascinate me, the earth replenishes me, and the energy of all of that is, is something I aim to know and create a relationship with daily.
My current lifestyle is unique, when I meet people IRL, they are always so fascinated about how I am living and my work in the world. I thought I should start documenting it for my own records and to hopefully inspire others to live a life that is fully aligned with the truth of who they know themselves to be.
Living a life of aligned action and truth, this is what I am up to. It is scary and sexy. It is liberating and sometimes anxiety provoking. It feels right and it freaks me out.
I sold most of my things about 3 years ago. I took off on the road with my then partner and our 2 pups in an old VW Westfalia Vanagon. We had a grand adventure and as the journey continued our paths were steering in different directions. I wanted to stay on the road and he was ready to settle. So, we consciously uncoupled and my 4lb. pup and I have been on the road since July 2023.

What others are saying about “Free to Wonder.”
My background + What I am inspired by currently
As a inner and outer adventurer, traveling to new lands and experiencing different cultures is only part of the adventuring I love. The inward adventure of the unconscious and spirit/soul/SELF realms is perhaps my first love. My happy place is being in conversation about the Essential Self, Expanded states of Consciousness, the Mystery of all that is and the modalities that support one to get there.
My professional background is in yoga, instinctive meditation, functional breathwork + pranayama, Integration Coaching and Guiding people through experiences that bring them into expanded states of consciousness. My certificate list is ridiculously long (are you a life long learner like me? I am happy to send it to you if you desire to see). I do not have a writing degree or any professional degree for that matter. And, I notice myself as of late grappling with that choice. Get a degree or not? Perhaps, a newsletter will be born from that inquiry?
I feel like I have the degree of a Life well traveled and well practiced. Does a daily meditation practice for the last 17 years of my life count for anything? Or, the thousands of clients I have worked with in groups and 1-on-1? Does any of this make me a creditable resource? I know I have done the inner work to feel confident to hold powerful space for my clients and students to have therapeutic outcomes but, that does not come with a Ph.D. at least not yet!
Lastly, why “Free to Wonder?”
In this space you are free to let your mind, body, heart wonder. And, I hope to, over time, reaffirm to you the value in doing so.
I wish someone in the beginning years of my spiritual explorations let me in on this little secret. It was not until I met my “life teachers,” was I given permission to freely and joyfully let my mind wonder + wander. It was one of the most liberating pieces of advice that had been shared with me up to that point in my life. This was 9 years ago.
