Luh you bae

I walked into the packed out room.
Waiting for her to walk in.
A young girl then
19 years old
I had discovered this woman
some years ago
She had big hair, like me
She had a big heart, like me
She spoke, and peopled listened
And people flew from around the world
To have time with her
To learn from her
To hear what she thought about things.
A room with nearly a hundred people
Chaotic, small conversation.
And then, she came in.
We all felt her
Some even teared up
As she took her seat at the front of the room
So powerful, so loving, so real
And we fell silent
She began to speak
And we felt united under her leadership
The miracle sunk in
Of the power of this embodied woman
To bring kindred souls together
Who were united in a passion
For softening the suffering of others
But also, of our own hearts
I saw her, I adored her
I watched, I listened
And then eventually, I was on her team
And I saw her human
Her vulnerability
Her fears, her pain
Her wounding, and where she was still learning
At first, I was disappointed
To see the human behind the ideal I had created in my mind
And then, I was liberated.
Because it taught me, deeply
That I could rise, too
That I saw my reflection in her only in my potential
But then I saw her also as I am
And it freed me
And I went on to call in my own
seekers
Who would hold me in their minds and hearts
In a similar way
Knowing, they would see me stumble and fall
And I laugh, because I know
That my humanness, is ultimately a far greater teacher
And that the illusion of the pedestal only keeps someone small
I still, adore that woman
BECAUSE I know, she is but a seeker
With her heart on fire
With the courage to be seen in her totality
And so she is
And so I am
And so you are

I didn’t know anything
Except that I was so very passionate
About channeling
My voice, my gifts, my position in life
To leave my corner of the world
Impacted, deeply, by the beauty of my beating heart
At university,
I studied the Philosophy of Social Justice
I spent my college days
In service.
And then, I got out in the world
Seeing, learning + growing
Refining, my world view, my skill set
Seeing the damage of good intentions
And learning the ways of community
Empowerment and erasing
The Colonial tendencies natural
In the old school service model
Wanting to be an advocate,
A leader,
A force for good
Recognizing that supporting others
In waking up to their own potential
Their power, their voice
And giving them concrete skills of easing suffering in others
To unify with that awakened passion
Was a way that I could manifest my vision
I am gifted
As an educator
At bringing people together
I am gifted
In holding space for deep transformation
I am gifted
In transforming ideas into reality
And for holding a holistic view
Of business - and understanding
The responsibility that comes
With the power of holding
And distributing the flow of
Money
Years of lessons
Of building blocks
And now, finally
In a position to trust myself even more fully
And meet my next level
Of actualization

I was sitting at my little jungle casita in the Caribbean of Costa Rica.
They were coming TOMORROW.
Somehow, I had managed to sell out my very first Yoga Teacher Training.
I had rented out a little yoga platform close to the beach, and they had all found their own housing nearby. Simple.
16 students.
Really, only 14 would fit comfortably on the platform in practice. But, I figured they would usually be teaching each other or have a couple assisting - so it should be fine!
And there I was - a 24 year old with a heart vibrating with passion.
I was qualified on paper, and in my soul - I felt ready.
But the level up - brought me to my hands and knees.
And I was vomiting behind our house by the river.
So completely overwhelmed with the responsibility, the pressure, the details, the logistics.
And, this was my first time attuning to a group before they arrived - and the magnitude of stepping into holding seekers at that level of depth and intimacy through their transformation was BRAND new to me.
I hadn’t felt that before.
And, oh, am I so so sensitive.
That group came.
Lesson after lesson after lesson poured over me.
Students outside of my scope of practice. Roommates arguing. Some pushing boundaries and breaking rules.
Devastating secrets flying out from childhood.
Being present with all the love in my heart as they processed their life - and just go home and cry, and cry and cry.
All these personality dynamics.
The individual experience of each person. And then the larger collective ‘group’ feeling.
Showing up, and my plan was NOT going to work one day. Pivot here, burn and crash there.
The next day, they were chaotic - sobbing, all needing individual support. And then balanced again.
I could go on, and on - about all of the nuances and layers of facilitation.
I have learned SO SO SO much over the course of this last 10 years.
About what it takes to HOLD. What it takes to Become the Guide.
How to refine my intuition. To hold a group to a standard that everyone surrenders into.
How to spot markers, and to address things before they become bigger things.
How to take people deep - quickly - with safety. And, how to bring them back.
To be continued....

And then, something shifted
inside of her
as she tucked her Grandfather into bed.
And made her way down the stairs
Delecatly allowing her fingers
To trace the banister
Of the stairwell that creaked
The only creak that could bring
Tears to her eyes
The old family home
Memories flooded her heart
Of childhood.
Of being without true concern.
Of being protected.
And now,
She new something of the world
A woman now.
She had seen many sunsets
Navigated her share of crisis
And had become the eye of the storm
As life rushed around her
She had
Found the art
Of submission to those she trusts
And invoking fear
In those she doesn’t
She caught herself in the mirror
As she made her way out the door
She allowed her eyes
To take rest in her reflection
As tears ran down her cheeks
She felt proud.
Of what she had created
In honor of the lineage of love
At her back
That she had the courage to love so hard,
With loss always dancing just around the corner
And she felt the cocoon finally shed
From her wings.
The tide has shifted
The responsibility was hers
She had become a woman.
And it was time to shed any childhood
fears and wounds
Of shining too bright
It was time to fully own her gifts
in the name of
providing for her family
And creating the life of her dreams.
To be seen.
To be felt.
To emerge from the shelter of protection
No longer a child
And shine her face courageously
Towards the warm light
Of her destiny.

Today, a peak into
my gentle nature
And my massive heart.
I choose, usually,
to lead with strength.
So that I filter
any who may be called
to take advantage.
Because life has granted me
with the lessons, to choose
wisely.
And those who I let come
close.
Know the true nature
of my spirit.
She is fierce, yes
But fierce in the way of my Mother
Soft
Steady
Predictable
and unconditionally loving.

This moment captured means the WORLD to me
It is a symbol of so many layers of my heart, my life, my story

This is the picture I used for our SoulWork Holiday cards this year (did you get one?! We had a lot of returns 🤦🏽‍♀️)

The lighting isn't great. It doesn't feel 'edgy', or call up a demand for attention. It isn't a 'great' capture for the naked eye disconnected from my story.

But it captures the truth.
My life. What's important to me.
What I am walking through right now.
In re-building. Excavating my roots. Navigating love.
And our little family.
The humble choices I have made.
And the WHY behind them....

I am sharing the whole story today in the 2024 Manifesto, and I can't wait to let you all in to this part of my heart and journey.

❤️❤️❤️

As the mother of my teacher, Yogrishi Vishvketu, Maa-ji embodied the very essence of divine motherhood.

She was the divine mother manifest —whose nurturing love shaped not just her son, but whose love and skill in care nurtured an entire community of global seekers.

She stood as a steady pillar, witnessing her son and those who support him create a beautiful family and a spiritual home for thousands. I know she must have been so very proud of him, what he has built, and the children he has supported through his devotion to service, his family, and his students.

As Maa-ji transitions into another realm, our hearts are present with our revered teacher and his family. In this time of mourning, may our shared love and prayer wrap them in comfort.

Even in her transition, her love remains an eternal guiding light, illuminating our paths and urging us to embody the love she so effortlessly radiated.

Maa-ji, your love was a sacred elixir— and your presence will forever reside within us, an eternal reminder of the profound impact of steady, divine, maternal love.

Rest peacefully in the embrace of eternity, dear Maa-ji. We love you.

My life has become a quest of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
I refine my studentship, so that I may be a better teacher + guide.
This is my life’s calling—to unravel the depths of truth and share the wisdom gained along the humbling and liberating lessons of my journey.
I learn from pain. I learn from pleasure.
I learn from my teacher, from the texts, from the teachings.
And I learn from how these timeless principles support my life.
SoulWork is where I go to teach, to learn, to be humbled, to be celebrated.
The company is my art, my legacy, my way of taking the lessons of my heart
and creating a tangible way to deliver the teachings.
For seekers, for fellow leaders.
For those on this path.
My journey has led me to ancient wisdom, trauma studies, the art of self knowledge, and the relationship of Western knowledge + philosophy with the yogic path.
Under the guidance of my teacher - Yogrishi Vishvketu, I carry the torch of the Akhanda lineage and the mighty Adi Nath Shiv lineage.
Thousands of years of self discovery and holding others in cultivating timeless wisdom at my back.
SoulWork, at its essence, is my heart’s creation—a compass that supports all of us reclaim our authenticity, take space for emotional healing, and actualize our soul’s purpose.
Beyond the work within, I pour my soul + passion into giving back - and the mark of my own humanitarian efforts and those of our wider SoulWork community are imprinted all over the world.
I stand as a mentor, as a student
As a student of truth
And a teacher of creating and cultivating a beautiful life
And so it is

Adi Shakti
