I Feel Your Pain - Navigating World Changes

If the events unfolding in our country have you feeling like everything's falling apart, or like things are worse then ever… I feel you. 

All of the recent acts of violence, all the pain and injustice that has been a part of all of our daily lives recently, has made it hard for me to get out of bed some mornings.

We are undergoing a deep transformation, as a nation, as a globe, as a collective conciousness.  A new level of transparency, technology, and awareness, is allowing us to have direct contact with the actual state of our nation, and the world.

My Intimate Share - [event: Yoni Yoga early bird ends soon]

This week I shared the most intimate story I ever told in front of over 120 people! I was participating in a great event called the Pussy Party, a night of art made by women, curated and produced by Salon no 13.

 

I was given the honor of opening the show with an interactive talk I crafted called “She Speaks”. In this talk I share about the very first time my Pussy or Yoni, ever spoke to me. Yes, she has a voice… and it's OK if you think that’s crazy. And if you think that’s awesome, see details below about an immersion for women I'm doing in two weeks.

Dearly Beloveds - Lets Celebrate This Thing Called Life

Another gifted soul has completed his work here… when I found out that Prince passed away at the young age of 57, there was a moment of disbelief. This moment seems to happen every time I’m told about an unexpected death. And I realized it’s because as much as death is a part of life, no part of me expects it to happen.

Maybe because its seems morbid to acknowledge that death can happen in any moment. But if I did let this in all the way, maybe I would celebrate my life and everyone in it even more than I do now.

Maybe I would praise everyday I wake up, even the ones that are rough. I would dance more, care less about censoring myself, and pause more throughout my day to feel the sweet breath that keeps me alive!

What is a Yoni?

Yoni is a sanskrit word that means ‘source’ or 'sacred space’. The space it is referring to are a woman's genitals and reproductive organs. But it’s not just referring to anatomy, Yoni is a word that also encompasses the energy and potential for wisdom, life, and power that comes from this space.

So while there may be a lot of woo-woo connotations to this word, I still love it for the holistic meaning it gives this important part of a woman’s body. In contrast the latin origin of the word vagina, means ‘sheath'.... as in where you would store a sword. Call me crazy, but I prefer to define my lady parts as a sacred space.

Trusting Transition

Spring has sprung! Happy Renewal!

The overall energy of Spring and the holidays and rituals we have to mark it, are about renewal & resurrection. New life bursts forth from the stillness and death of winter. If you experience an uptick in activity, inspiration, or vitality, perhaps you are in the flow of the season.


The seasons are one of the many transitions we experience in life. Transition is part of nature. Birth and death, Love and Loss, Building and Dissolution. These cycles can bring a lot of upheaval, emotion, confusion, and fear for us humans. And they are an unavoidable part of life.

So how can we move through transition with more ease, grace, and acceptance? Here are a few things that really helped me move through several big transitions with more trust and grace:

Speak your truth even if your voice shakes

"Speak the truth even if your voice shakes" - Maggie Kuhn

I love the quote above because for many years this is exactly what happened to me. Every time I expressed something that was vulnerable or made me emotional, my voice would shake…. a lot!

 

It made me hate these moments, I would feel weak, and embarrassed by my shaky voice. I would feel like no one would listen or take me seriously. Or worse... that they would pity me, and make fun of, or de-value the very sensitive truth I was sharing with them.

Will Power vs. Soul Power

Are you more comfortable being visible or flying under the radar? When you desire to get something done is it easy to take action? Or does it become overwhelming or daunting? Do you feel up to the challenges that arise in day to day life? Or is it easy to feel defeated and want to give up?

It would be so normal to feel a combo of all these possibilities... And one experience is not necessarilaly better than another. But these questions help us hone in on the area of consciousness that the 3rd chakra is processing for us.

Both these energies are important expressions of our soul. They hold the potential to birth something that didn't exist before!

New Life, New Class!

I'm in love!


I'm an aunt for this first time. My sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Gaia Hawkins, this past Thursday Feb. 18th, 2016.

I'm so proud of the warrior Goddess my sister was through her 18 hour, natural birth labor. Watching her and my new niece, during this sacred time, has gifted me with a front row seat to the miracles our bodies are!

There are so many layers to the way we work, which fundamentally impact the way we experience life.  And its not like we get a manual at birth for how to care properly for these precious bodies.

Will You Be My Valentine?

Happy Lovers Day,


I know not everyone is into Valentine’s… but I dig holidays! They are some of the most consistent rituals we have left in our culture. And rituals create spaces for us to put our attention on something specific and honor it.


Sure Valentine’s Day has been used, like so many other holidays, as a platform to spend way too much money. And much of what we see in ads and our social media feeds are people bragging about how their lover or spouse has professed their love; leaving many folks with a different experience feeling left out and even resentful.   

But a holiday honoring LOVE is right down my alley. There’s so much we have yet to understand about it, that frankly this virtue could use more time to be reflected upon.
