"In this house, we lead with love,
In this house, we lift each other up"

Song Circle: A Gathering of Voices & Heart

Beginning in May, you’re warmly invited into a bi-weekly song circle. An intentional space to come together in simplicity, safety, and shared humanity. This is not a performance space, and there is no pressure to sound a certain way, to “get it right,” or to be anything other than you are. This is a space to soften, to explore, and to reconnect with the natural voice that lives within you.

Together, we will learn simple, soulful songs - offered as prayers for our own hearts and nervous systems, as well as for the collective field. Through repetition and presence, our voices will weave into one another, strengthening a thread of connection that extends beyond the circle.

Whether you’ve never sung in a group before or have years of experience, you are welcome here. This circle honors curiosity over perfection, feeling over form, and connection over outcome.

We will be practicing deep listening - learning songs by ear rather than by sight. Instead of looking at words, we’ll listen with our ears and our hearts, allowing the rhythm, melody, and repetition to guide what naturally takes root within us

Come as you are.
Come to listen.
Come to sound.
Come to remember.

All voices belong.

Bi-weekly gatherings beginning in May
Tuesdays 11:15am-12:30pm starting 5/5
Open to all—no experience needed.

A primal new moon weekend retreat for women!

For the new moon in June 🌑.
6.12 to 6.14

This is a time for women to RETURN.

Return to your Body.
Return to the Earth.
Return to Yourself.

Held on sacred land in the wild beauty of Colorado, this is an invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life and back into the rhythm of natural wisdom.

Nestled beside natural hot springs, with a small river running through the land and a labyrinth to walk in quiet reflection, the setting itself becomes a part of the ceremony...a place to soften, to listen, and to remember.

Guided by embodiment coach and myself, this intimate retreat weaves together ceremony, cacao, movement, primal embodiment practices, song, astrology, and inspired dreaming.

We will be nourished with delicious, simple, earth-inspired meals and there are lodging options available for those who wish to stay the night (which we highly recommend)! The evening hours will provide deeper connection and reflection under the gorgeous starlit sky that the dark moon will provide!

Go to www.jalablu.com/retreats to Learn More and to find a link to claim your space!

There are limited spots as this is will be an intimate gathering for deepening into our wild human hearts.

The just right souls will be called and we will create unique magic together, imprinted by the Spirits of all who join ✨.

Come as you are.
Leave deeply nourished.
In body, in heart, in mind, and in soul.

When we center ourselves through sacred gathering, we can return to the path we each walk in greater alignment - the ripples are felt inward and outward far and wide.

Being together in community heals in ways you can get no other way: Personally, relationally, collectively.

We can't wait to see you there 💫.

If you’ve been into in the past 2 years – you’ve met (and most likely) come to love Izzy.

She was a healer through and through. She was my faithful companion for 13 years and my office helper through her final days, when her body slowed down and could no longer adventure like it used to.

She was a magical being, a radiant heart, and pure love and light. Thank you for all of you who showered her with love, pets, and kisses when you came in. She couldn’t always get up to greet you at the end – but she loved spending her time in the clinic and helping her mom serve our community. And she adored all the friends she made along the way.

We will all feel the impact of her loss at the office – and her mom may shed a few tears when she’s mentioned – but please mention her. She’ll be memorialized with a photo at the office – still standing watch over all of us at Two Roots Acupuncture.

We come from love and we return to love.

In its truest form, the work I do is Soul Art.

Classical acupuncture itself is a medical art form. In its original language, the acupuncture points were named, not numbered as they are in the West. Each name tells a poetic story about the energetic pathways and vital centers within the body. These names reveal a map of life moving through us.

Acupuncture does not work through the simple insertion of metal into the body. Its power lives in the energetic intention, understanding, and presence of the practitioner. Each needle placement, the order in which points are chosen, and the subtle techniques used to guide the needle influence the “story” we are helping the body weave, so that your body's innate intelligence can reemerge uninhibited, in its natural state: flow.

Healing, in this tradition, is not simply the absence of disease. It is the radical presence of a radiant heart. When we are connected to our hearts, anything is possible.

Every treatment I offer carries a thread of removing the blockages that stifle the Heart. In Classical Chinese medicine, the Heart is more than an organ—it is the seat of spirit, creativity, and consciousness. When the heart is clear and nourished, our lives begin to express themselves more freely and authentically.

This is the philosophy behind my practice, Two Roots Acupuncture. The name reflects an ancient understanding of life: everything grows from two fundamental roots. One root drinks from the water of the earth, and the other breathes with the air of heaven. In the language of Chinese medicine, these are the forces of yin and yang—matter and movement, rest and vitality, earth and sky. Health arises when these roots are nourished and in harmony.

Cinderella & The Divine
"The shoe that fits"

Come play as we bring story to life through our heart's imagination in order to explore the timeless dance of karma & dharma!

What if Cinderella was never waiting to be rescued?

Inspired by a workshop I attended with astrologer Chris Skidmore at the Living Astrologies conference in Santa Fe, I’m offering a mytho-poetic dive into her story — expanding on the seeds planted in my heart that I can’t wait to bring to yours.

Astrology is a living system, one with which you are in breathing relationship. It is not just a “sky-based” system of understanding — it is inherently Earth-based too. The Earth does not exist without the Sun, nor without the precise, geometrically sacred alignment of our solar system and its planetary bodies.

You don’t need to know anything about astrology to attend this workshop. That is the power of story — it invokes the soul’s deepest knowing from the inside out.

We will play with soul alchemy as we weave this ancient story of Cinderella — a phoenix risen from the ashes — who was not rescued, but chosen, most importantly by herself, in the depths of her own tending and inner knowing of trust, surrender, and divine timing.

✨What you seek, is seeking you.” — Rumi✨

WHEN: Sunday, March 8th | 4:30–6:00pm
WHERE: JalaBlu Yoga Studio
INVESTMENT: $35 early registration ($40 at the door)

Bring a journal and your playful heart.

This will be an exploration of the soul’s co-creative dance with the Universe — a lens that invites curiosity, inner knowing, and collective dreaming.

We’ll weave astrology, myth, and imagination to explore the alchemy of karma and dharma.

A little storytelling, a dash of dreaming, a sprinkle of weaving — and infinite play.

Herbs are a huge part of my practice.

Traditionally, you were given a large bag of herbs that you would cook at home into a decoction to drink, like tea. You would return to the herbalist as symptoms changed and receive new herbs—making adjustments in stride with the way your own self was evolving. Herbs align & redirect; nourish and teach. They’re not meant to be taken indefinitely as conditions change; they are allies for healing. And we don’t “know for certain” what they will do.

The relationship between the individual and the herbs themselves reveals a full story that is unique to that combination. You, in essence, become part of the herbal decoction. As information is revealed, adjustments can be made.

This is how we come into relationship with our plant allies. And just like any relationship, the deeper your cultivation, the greater your intimacy—and so too your capacity and range. Think of one of your closest friends as an example. You put in work to build that relationship: listening, supporting, reciprocating, caring. This allows you, understandably, to call upon that friend in a wide array of circumstances—not out of obligation, but out of relational love.

It is no different with our relationship to herbs. If you listen, offer, and engage the relationship—far deeper than “what can you do for me?”—the field of possibility expands. This is how the greatest herbalists accomplish seemingly impossible things with their herbs. They have cultivated relationship with them, and they teach their clients to do the same, so the expression of what is possible grows with reverent consciousness.

Our culture does not have language for understanding these types of phenomena, so I’ll borrow an Indigenous concept from Aboriginal Australian culture. They have a word that goes beyond “we,” roughly translated as “us three,” “us twelve,” or “us one hundred.” Any combination—or relationship—of multiples becomes its own unique entity.

What would change in your understanding of herbalism if you engaged plants as conscious beings instead of commodities?

As friendships to be tended, rather than results to be demanded?

It’s not common for clients to be dispensed raw herbs these days (compliance with cooking is low—and at the end of the day, we want the herbs ingested in whatever way works, because they can’t work otherwise). But the “raw” herbs are still inside the powders and tablets provided. The relationship practice is the same.

If you want a deeper relationship with your herbal formulas, please ask. Even looking up each herb and seeing it in its natural form can open an entire world of possibility.

How might one go even further in cultivating these herbal relationships?

Making a collage of the herbs you currently invite into your body. Noticing how their natural bodies look before harvest. Asking them questions. Simply listening. Offering prayers. Saying thank you.

These are very simple—and very powerful—ways to relate to conscious plant spirits.

The Earth gives us everything we will ever need to live. She is wise and generous.

May we keep listening, learning, and relating with reciprocity

Dearest community,

The holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface.

Family gatherings can open our hearts — and just as easily press on old wounds, long-held patterns, and tender places within us. For many, this season carries both love and challenge, closeness and contraction. If you’ve felt yourself navigating emotional complexity, relational friction, or a longing to return to something simpler and more true — you are not alone.

As we step toward the New Year, I would like to extend an invitation:
an offering to reconnect with the frequency of the heart — not through striving or fixing, but through remembering.

This summer, I traveled to Colombia to sit on the land, to learn, to listen, and to welcome mind-body-soul and spirit alchemy. I received more than I could have imagined. I spent time with the indigenous wisdom keepers and connected with the more-than-human world. I also experienced the devotional alliances behind Calling in Love Cacao — a community many of you have already supported through your generous fundraising contributions. I witnessed firsthand the reverence with which cacao is grown, harvested, prayed over, and shared. Cacao is not a commodity. It is a relationship. It is sacred.

Cacao, in its ceremonial form, is a gentle yet profound teacher. In many Earth-based traditions, it is known as a heart medicine — one that helps us soften our defenses, reconnect with our emotional truth, and return to coherence between body, mind, and spirit. It does not belong to any one religion, language, or creed. It is a gift of Mother Earth, available to all humans who approach with respect and intention.

As we enter 2026, I’m honored to share a first of its kind virtual gathering, to learn and to listen. Spearheaded by my friend Yehudah Russel, who has dedicated his personal mission to creating sustainable and educational relationships with the native people of Colombia - has created an offering to share this wisdom through the very people he has built alliances with, so that we may learn from these ancient practices, a way to deepen our shared humanity within the sacred web of life.

Calling in Love: Returning to Your Origin — this is a cacao-based journey rooted in heart wisdom, nervous system regulation, and ancestral remembrance.

This is not a certification.
It is a return to listening.
To your heart.
To the land.
To your own medicine.

This offering is especially close to my own heart, as it weaves together what I’ve learned through Traditional East Asian Medicine, spirit-centered healing, and my life changing time on the land in Colombia — and it is made possible, in part, because of you. Your support helped sustain the farmers and families who steward this medicine with integrity and devotion.

If the New Year is calling you to soften, to realign, to come home to yourself — I would love to walk this path with you.

You can learn more about the January 2026 class here:
Calling in Love Cacao — Returning to Your Origin

May this season remind you that healing doesn’t require perfection — only presence.
And that the heart, when listened to, always knows the way home.

In love, light, and healing darkness,

Jacqueline Allen

Fire cupping is not just a technique.
It is a ritual. A remembering. A conversation with the body’s spirit.

In Classical Chinese Medicine, especially through the teachings of the Jeffrey Yuen lineage, cupping is a way of creating space where there has been holding, silence, or stagnation. It draws, what has been buried, to the surface so it can finally be witnessed, metabolized, and released.

Fire cupping works with movement - of Blood, of Qi, of emotion, of memory. Where there has been long-held grief, shock, or unexpressed experience, cupping invites circulation back into places that learned to survive by tightening and going quiet.

In this lineage, pain and stagnation are not seen as symptoms to be overcome - they are messengers. They tell stories of what the body has endured and what the spirit has carried on our behalf. The marks left behind are not bruises; they are maps. Evidence of where the body said, “This is where I’ve been holding.”

Fire - sacred, transformative - acts as the catalyst. It lifts, it draws, it awakens. The cups create a vacuum that calls the spirit back into places it once withdrew from. This is why cupping can feel emotional, cathartic, or deeply grounding. It is not uncommon for memories, images, or feelings to move through during or after treatment.

In Classical Chinese Medicine, healing is not about forcing change - it’s about creating the conditions for the spirit (Shen) to again and again find sanctuary in its own vessel. Fire cupping helps loosen what no longer needs to be held so that Qi can flow with intention again.

Sometimes healing looks like relief.
Sometimes it looks like tears.
Sometimes it looks like breath returning where it had been shallow for years.

Fire cupping is an invitation to breathe again - not just physically, but spiritually. To release what no longer belongs to you. To make room for what does.

Fire cupping is not always appropriate, based on individual resources, but when conditions are aligned, it is a powerful ally.

Planting Love Back into the Earth

Thank you!

To all who donated over the past six weeks—thank you for your heartfelt generosity. This endeavor is a living testament to what becomes possible when we join together in love and action. In total, we raised $2,121 in September, and the donations are still flowing in. That’s over 200 trees planted in the South American jungles of the Sierra Madre mountains of Colombia, known by the Indigenous Arhuaco people as El Corazón del Mundo—The Heart of the World.

As we stand nearly four weeks beyond the Autumn Equinox, we’re reminded that this season is not only a time of harvest, but also a sacred moment of replenishment. The Earth’s soils are renewed by what her trees so bravely release. Autumn invites us to not only let go but to give back.

Abundance is not measured by what we keep, but by how we circulate our gifts—trusting that when we have more than enough, we share, and when we have less, we will be provided for. The seasons mirror the sacred cycles we belong to, and when we support communities of people we may never meet, we remember the greater web of life we are all part of.

Every act of giving—no matter how small—creates ripples of renewal.

An Ongoing Invitation
