SELF PRESERVATION
Our body is a vessel of every lived experience.

It holds our joys and heartbreaks, our silences and our stories. How we meet the world how we resolve conflict, express love, or hold back our truth all lives within the body.

When we ignore its whispers the ache in the lower back, the tension in the shoulders, the shallow breath we’re not just feeling physical discomfort. We’re hearing the echoes of what hasn’t been released. These are messages from the body’s wisdom, asking us to listen.

Because when stress becomes a constant hum, survival mode takes over.

And the emotions of fear, anger, anxiety, and hopelessness are not flaws they are signals calling us back home to ourselves.

Massage is not simply an act of relaxation.

It’s an act of self-preservation a remembrance of your innate capacity to heal, to soften, to thrive.

Through touch, breath, and awareness, the body learns safety again. The nervous system finds ease. The heart begins to trust.

TENDING TO YOUR LIFE FORCE
Every one of us carries a unique role in the greater whole. Not by striving to be someone else, but by living in deeper alignment with the life force that flows through us.

That life force originates from the earth with the air we breathe, the food that nourishes us, and the ground beneath our feet to keep us rooted into ourselves.

It is a gift and how we choose to live with it matters. When we ignore our bodies, push through exhaustion, or numb the aches, we slowly lose touch with that gift.

The disconnection from the body mirrors disconnection from the earth and its life force.

However, when we pause, when we breathe deeply, when we listen to the wisdom inside our muscles, our bones, our heartbeat something shifts.

That healing and tending to our bodies ripples outward into our families, communities, and the earth itself.

Your body is not separate from the greater story.

We begin to feel our own aliveness again. We remember that caring for ourselves is also caring for the larger whole. Your uniqueness matters and your presence matters.

The way you tend to your life force shapes how you contribute to the world we are all wanting to create together.

SLOW PLEASURE: A Reclamation

“Caring for ourselves is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” – Audre Lorde

Pleasure beyond the erotic is a return—to the rhythms of our bodies, our creativity, our joy. It’s the intimacy of feeling, the art of paying attention. The warmth of the sun on our skin, the laughter that escapes unexpectedly, the scent of earth after rain. It is presence. It is resistance. Remembering to be alive is to feel.

Adrienne Maree Brown reminds us: “Pleasure heals the places where our hearts and spirits get wounded. Pleasure reminds us that even in the dark, we are alive.”

A pleasure practice, Poetry in Bloom invites you into a space where poetry is not just spoken but embodied—felt, exchanged, and alive. A gathering to honor community, beauty, and the sacred dance of being. A reclamation of slowness, sensuality, and the joy of simply being here.

Freedom Is a Practice
It’s during these huge transitional times in my personal life and in the collective that we’re reminded how the necessity of community care can hold us to co-weave the world and shape the world around us to have the resilience to live in the beauty of the chaos.
The darkness has swiftly come, the season’s darkness, the darkness of the unknown, and the sweet soil of darkness to encourage planting the good seeds of new systems, new stories, and new values in moving differently.

By staying present in the process of embodying and practicing freedom we’re cultivating the culture of care and community.

WILD WOMAN: A remembrance.

When we find ourselves dancing to someone else’s rhythms, watering, nourishing another’s potential and capacity, we can stop seeing ourselves when it’s not reciprocated.

Wild woman is remembering, reconnecting to our healthy visions, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing of our inherent divine nature. A welcoming home, returning to oneself a continuous journey and practice.

🌓The woman who dances naked under the moon to her own rhythms.

🌓The woman who’s unapologetic about her imperfections and shares her multitudes of her being with vulnerability and courage.

🌓The woman who walks in reverence with the Earth knowing her belonging to the land and her responsibility to the whole.

🌓The woman who celebrates her body’s inherent wholeness and honors the diversity of other bodies.

🌓The woman who remembers pleasure, play, and creative practices for vitality.

🌓The woman who’s innately divine.

Remembering Wild Woman.

Where in the body does love live?

Tuning into our bodies is not encouraged in our culture. This disembodiment afflicts virtually everyone that sabotages our physical, social, and spiritual well-being, sleep walking through this life.

Love wants to naturally be embodied. An understanding of our bodies as an instrument to tune into spontaneous feelings, visceral sensations and intuitions as invitations. Invitations from the external environment as mirrors and understanding of what needs tending internally embodying the parts of us that have yet to know love.

Allowing deliberate pauses every day may give inner space moving beyond the thinking mind of judgments, labeling, contextualizing of what our body knows to tune into wisdom and insights.

Tending to our bodies is also remembrance of our interdependence with bodies of the earth. A split between our inner lives in the surrounding world overlaps with sorrows and suffering of the earth itself. The personal and the planetary are inseparable.

“When we see love as the will to nurture one’s own or another’s spiritual growth, revealed through acts of care, respect, knowing, and assuming responsibility, the foundation of all love in our life is the same.” -bell hooks
