Last June
at a radiance retreat in Ibiza…

This June,
preparing to bring through new life…

The wheel keeps turning.

As Summer Solstice approaches I’ve been reflecting on the cycles of our lives, the flow of energy moving inward and outward.

I’ve come to love these seasonal thresholds as opportunities to notice what this season is asking of us.

And there is something so radiant, so alive, so sensual about summer. The opportunity for full bloom, for opening, for potential 🌸

So on June 22nd, we’ll gather to celebrate the longest day of the year and the radiant life force moving through us.

Together we’ll honor this seasonal threshold through ritual, movement, reflection, and reconnection to the body as living earth.

I’d love for you to join us ☀️

Ritual is our nature.

Our lives are full of passages, initiations, celebrations and defeat… and all these require honoring, witnessing, blessing.

There is something so sacred about tending to phases of life… cultivating presence for the moment we’re in, making life’s transitions matter enough to celebrate, to sit in ceremony with, to share with community, to be witnessed, to experience for the fullness of what they are.

It’s through these passages that we too merge with something sacred.

A unified collective field of love and shared intention ripples outward and inward beyond measure.

And it changes us. It changes our experience. It changes how we feel and relate to the world. It changes how we relate to the Divine.

This past weekend, I got to help facilitate my dear friends Mama Blessing.

It was an honor and privilege to sit in a circle of women and tend to her body, wash away her fears, bless her and baby with love & support that will continue to extend into her motherhood journey.

As a circle of women, we used our power, our magic to cast our visions for the most beautiful birth and transition as baby arrives earth side 🌿

It was so tender.
And it was the most natural thing we could have done.

May ceremony become a way of Life. May we relearn what our ancestors knew. May we redefine community and magic and all we are capable of co-creating ✨may we celebrate new life coming through and hold space for them to Become the next and better stewards of these lands, of this earth, this Life.

Scorpio Full Flower Moon + Beltane, the bright fire of the Sun, the peak of Spring, a season to create and transform…

…it seems fitting today to share about the metamorphosis of pregnancy, the wonder and intensity of what it takes to create life…

Pregnancy has been reshaping me from my core (and we’re just getting started 🙃)

The old version gone, the new one not yet formed, in the unknown of who I’ll become…

All I can do here is release control, trust. Surrender my life to something beyond myself…

But Holy WOW, the intensity as the emotional, energetic, mental, physical body recalibrates to tend to the little Spirit blooming within.

It’s not very often talked about, but it’s so real. The tears. The fear. The doubt.

And I hardly remember that part of self now. I’ve shed and changed seventeen times at least in the last five months. But for trust to come through, I had to move through the shadow first.

The amount of maturity and forging that happens, sometimes over night, is truly incredible, so rich, so profound.

And here we are now… in the journey of becoming someone who walks unarmed with the unknown, co-creating life with life.

Feeling simultaneous grievance for an old life, and pure joy for the new one.

To know & miss that nothing will ever be the same and to revel in it all at the same time.

It DEMANDS a masterful ability to hold deep complexity.

I’m so grateful for it.
So humbled and inspired by it.

So much in the allowance of what it takes to Become a Mama 🤍

In awe of womanhood. Of motherhood.

Of these bodies that create, give, sustain.

So here’s to this season, may our fires burn bright ✨

Ripening 🍑
into the greatest rite of passage yet 🤍

This has been the most beautiful
and intense initiation

refining us into stewards of Life

Little wildling growing steady,
guiding us towards unshakable trust
& surrender
like we’ve never known

We are so grateful 🌿

Next week we gather
For a celebration of bath culture & communal harmony

To remind ourselves of our bodies innate ability to heal, to restore, to find equalibrium…

Through ritual, through breath, through movement, through body work, sauna immersions, medicinal food, music, art, community…

We pause.
We connect.
We recalibrate.
We give ourselves to aliveness.

Sauna Synergy
April 10 & 11 (link in comments for more info)

I’ll be facilitating a women’s sensuality class, guiding us to live through turned on senses 🤍

See you soon ~

May we live in devotion to and in sync with the natural cycles of life 🌀🌿

May we live inside this rhythm
Trust the timing of Becoming
Let ourselves be moved

May we remember that aliveness
is something we allow 🤍

Blessed Equinox!

Subtle Body Wild Soul is not a space where you come to rush, or consume…it is a space you come to practice. To be with yourself in intimacy.

Where you learn to repattern yourself out of auto pilot ways of being and return to sensation.

Because in those quiet moments of surrender, we come face to face with all that is, all that moves and breathes, that lives in our bones, our body, our flesh.

And we need it now more than ever… sensation and aliveness as a form of rebellion ⚡️��This is a three week movement and inner exploration series designed to reconnect us to the wisdom of our subtle body, move through stagnancy and disconnection, and re-awaken to our wild and intuitive Essence as women. ��February 11, 18, 25 (you can come to a one off session, though attending the entire series is highly encouraged).

This is probably the only one happening this year so if you’ve been wanting to be there, now is the time ❤️

Comment WILD to save your spot

I’ve been thinking about all the ways life changed me without asking.

This post is a love letter to the thresholds we didn’t know how to name.

And a gentle invitation to be held through whatever is changing in you 🤍

That’s the thing about presence…
It can’t be packaged & displayed.

You can’t walk away with it in your hand,
or place neatly on a shelf.

Presence is not tangible.

And in a world that grasps and clings
presence is a foreign body.

Because to live with depth of presence is to believe in the INTANGIBLE,
the unseen…

It means trusting in life…
Valuing FEELING over doing.
Paying attention.

Presence is feeling the bottom of an exhale
or the onset of your cheeks blushing, it’s being with the sensation of light, of sound, of taste & touch. It is BEING with the experience, not merely consuming it.

Presence is the space in between.

The only doing it asks of us
is a stripping bare.

A release of illusion, distraction, numbing, the undoing of pretending.

In presence we open our eyes and look.
We see, we listen…
with our whole heart,
our Essence.

We let life move through us…

Because we trust that what we FEEL
is Truth speaking to us
in a language we are
ready to know.
