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.

POSSIBLE WORLDS: A Writing Salon.

We’re harmonizing ecosomatic practices with Agape Yoga by Krystle of and writing the worlds we want to build and shape culture through the body and attuning to the natural world.

A brave, relational, nuanced practice for liberation to speak and craft worlds into existence by visioning, dreaming, and imagining. We’re waking up language and new stories to make it capable of holding beauty, being surprised, real, free, so that we can be, too.

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

🌱🌑
Inside a seed holds stories and the connections between land, animals, and people. It’s a symbol of hope and possibility.
In the rich darkness of the soil, the seed's growth depends on the reciprocity of relationships between the earth's elements to flourish. Like seeds, we also need to be nurtured and cared for to grow and reach our full potential.

Seeds emerge into an expression of authenticity as an invitation for us to witness its beauty and reveal its insistence on divine wholeness.

These seeds live in each one of us, the life within us calls out for expression. We can embrace the multitudes of our being and use them to grow and contribute to the world in meaningful ways.

By nurturing ourselves and our communities, we can grow and blossom into the best versions of ourselves. Let us use the spring season as a reminder of our own potential for growth and transformation.
