To root in our senses when we are told to fit within a system is to choose to be human.

To create when we are surrounded by death culture is to bring life into the world.

To be fully alive with our authenticity is a political statement.

Come and join & this June to explore our aliveness, creativity and joy of being alive, together.

🌹 The Erotic as a Source of Power 🌹

Sharing some of the grounding text behind our Sacred Erotic Reclamation Retreat this June at — Audre Lorde’s “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” (1978).

Both (Chetna Mehta) and I knew the risk of putting EROTIC in the title. It’s a misused, misunderstood word. And it was still exactly the word we wanted for the work we’re bringing to Kripalu.

The surging power of creation we’ve been told to suppress. The indescribable yearning that rises from the body. The collision of ideas, bodies, and thoughts that gives rise to entirely new understandings of what’s real.

This is the power of the Erotic.
This is what future creation requires.

It may feel provocative — good. We want to provoke something dormant in all of us. Your creative genius — whether or not you call yourself “a Creative” — is waiting for you to take center stage in your own life as an act of creation.

No one else can live this life for you. Eros is calling, to activate something joyous and expansive in each of us, now.

Join us at , June 21–24, 2026, for:
🌹 Ceremonies
🌹 Meditations
🌹 Embodiment practice
🌹 Communing with the elements
🌹 Soul retrieval
🌹 Creative journaling
🌹 Cacao
🌹 Community building
…and more.

I am committed to offering 111 Akashic Record Readings before the Summer Solstice.

I want to see what happens when a large number of people are shifting energetically — in large numbers, on purpose, together. I believe energy is the most basic form of our existence — the place everything manifests from. So what becomes possible when we start our collective shift from the energetic field?

There are many ways to create change — and this is one of mine. If you are tired of watching the world unfold this way, maybe even frustrated by the way things have been done so far, come try this way with me.

No one is turned away for lack of funds. And I am especially inviting those who are change makers, caretakers, creators, and dreamers of the radically new future.

For the last few months, I have been working in the Akashic Field. This is a modality I left 10 years ago, soon after learning - something did not feel quite right then.

This time, my experience of it has been profoundly life altering; and I needed to fully understand beneath the label of the modality. What changed? What I did not know then, but clear to me now?

I’m sharing with you where I am now, not only as the facilitator of this work but also as a person who is working in the liminal space for evolutionary processes.

This work has a capacity to shift our energetics in such deep ways - and I want this to be experienced by anyone who is committed to the change.

111 Akashic Record Reading by Summer Solstice.

That is my current commitment. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Calling in ESPECIALLY the change makers, caretakers, creators of the world to come.

Aries stellium New Moon into Ta**us season, then straight into Uranus entering Gemini… my entire being has been in a Vitamix-level blender for the last two weeks.

I have so much to do, yet I can barely do the bare minimum. On most days I am sitting in front of my computer feeling like my is on fire, not capable of sitting still for one reason or another. I know what I want to do and what I need to do — but the sheer amount of too-muchness, the continuous filling up without a way to let it move through me, was taking me down. Literally.

At some point I surrendered. Bed. Sleeping on and off. Cursing my misery of sensitivity and the world that is simply too much.

I have these days too.

And funny thing is — I always know this to be true, so why do I still struggle through it when it comes over me is beyond me, my ego is pretty solid mind you — these are the moments of discoveries and connections.

This piece was born out of sitting in front of the computer in vain, laying in bed cursing and sleeping, arguing with my friends and losing my s**t.

Being human, messy and spiritual, is often like this one. Immense gratitudes to all of my life collaborators, going through conversations and other moments to connections with me. You know who you are, and I love and appreciate you deeply.

The full essay is on Substack — link in bio.

And if this conversation is lighting something up in you, come find us in June. Sacred Erotic Reclamation is exactly this kind of work — the messy, embodied, real kind.
and I will be there.

Chetna and I started having a conversation around how we relate to our Eros months ago.

How would our lives be different if we move from our deep desire for pleasures? What does it mean to reclaim the erotic in a time when the death culture is fully exposing itself? When the headlines alone are enough to make our bodies brace, contract, go numb - what does it take for us to reclaim safety in our own desires?

A PSA, a prayer, a provocation - this is what came out of us as we weave together our desire to center our aliveness in each of our creative lives.

The erotic is not what we’ve been told it is. It is not spectacle. It is not danger. It is not something to be controlled or surveilled or shamed into silence.

The creative intelligence of Gaia herself is calling us. It is the force that moves mountains, sprouts seeds, births worlds. It is what lives in our bodies as longing, as aliveness, as the refusal to go numb.

Reclaiming it — fully, ancestrally, with grief and with joy — is not optional any longer.

The chaos that swirls around us masquerading as death is demanding we remember.

And if this is calling you: we gather this summer at Kripalu for a Sacred Erotic Reclamation retreat.
