We adults tend to suck the fun out of things. We believe (oh, yes, it is a belief, not a fact) in our own seriousness and suffering. We dry up the wells of creativity with our preconceived expectations of how reality should be. The truth? We have literally no fucking clue why we’re here and what this…
Read morewaiting for the ground swell
What is your capacity to sit in the liminal? What is your tolerance for waiting and listening for the ground swell? Mine is growing. Every day. I have been sitting in this bardo for years now. Listening. Deep surrender. Sometimes and often … Modulating between wanting for something to happen … And waiting for…
Read morehunger
What do you hunger for? I have been contemplating on this in an ever deepening way recently. Hunger. What does it mean to be in relationship to our hunger? Around 12 years ago I was initiated into chronic illness and after over 8 years in remission, it has come back around to teach…
Read moresubstance part 1
People want substance these days. Hell, I want substance these days. An astrologer I listen to used the term the other day that struck me. She said “in the spiritual entertainment business …” There it is. The Spiritual Entertainment Business. Calling it exactly how it is. That’s exactly what the majority of our…
Read morenavigating big scary things aka change: lessons from a cat
Safety matters. A sense of Home matters. Today I let my cat outside for the first time. Some context. It’s been less than one month since we’ve left our home in Mexico and landed in rural Canada. 26 days to be exact. If you know anything about cats, you know they are very connected…
Read moremusings on slowness
On a personal level, my nickname in high school was “slow-mo”. It was given and used with endearment and love – I was not amused. However I could not shake the truth of the thing – I at my essence, at my core, am slow. I have always carried within me a deep well of…
Read moretaboo
In a recent post on social media I talked about a recent embodiment session I did with myself in where I alchemized intense menstrual cramps and nausea into not just 1 but 2 cervical orgasms (without touching my vulva by the way). I’ve been in deep devotion and reverence to following the embodiment path…
Read morei am woman
I used to hold such a deep resentment for being born into a female body. A woman’s body. And I still have so many reasons to be in resentment. The patriarchy for one. The degradation of the planet (the ultimate symbol of the female body). The way we shame, consume, and exploit the feminine is…
Read morehome (2)
I don’t think I really understood what home was until now. It took loss to open me up to it. It took the loss of one of my most central and formative relationships. It took immigrating to a different country, cultural context, and land. It took deciding to heal deep trauma – ancestral,…
Read moreorgasm and innocence
I have a secret I’ve been keeping that I think it’s time I came clean about. When I think about why I haven’t really talked about this explicitly, it seems obvious. It’s the thing everyone everywhere likes to exploit for profit or shame for profit. Either way, I’ve found myself in an in between…
