The rituals that have allowed me to come home to my heart have not been found in going cold turkey, or trying to take a week off work to purge my house, or subscribing to a bonkers exercise routine (although you can betchyer ass I still try to pretend this is the way to go).

It’s been in creating tiny, 5-10 minute, seemingly insignificant practices in my day, and then devoting myself to doing them regularly no matter what.

It’s holding spaces for play and whimsy and artistic expression not for if I have time, but for the small moments I have intentionally created to honor the necessity of these energies.

THE MAKING is a 9-week nudge in the direction of all of these things, with daily writing inspiration and guided meditations to help you tap into your inner fire, your creativity, and the ways in which our soul opens up when we have stillness and a flowing stream of consciousness.

We begin with the New Moon on Monday and this ceremony will take you all the way to the Spring Equinox. Registration closes soon, will you join us? 🦉

Every four years I have to recertify my acupuncture license. Every four years, I swear I am going to branch out and take courses that are not solely focused on hormone health and fertility. And every four years, I end up geeking out on all of it anyways as I’m still as in love with it all as I’ve ever been.

These touchstone chapters always bring me back to the poetry of Chinese Medicine, and the Knowing that our landscape of true vitality is dependent up on how much life we’re allowing to come through us at any given moment in time. Our fertility is not just about procreation, it’s about the ways in which we are thriving emotionally, physically, spiritually, and creatively.

The spaces where we are in fear, where we are laden with doubt, where we are pushing ourselves towards exhaustion or starving our lives of pleasure — that is where our microcosms are pleading us for balance and restoration.

Creativity, growth, and innovation cannot birth through us if we are in scarcity, we cannot foster life if we are intentionally watering our gardens of wonder and awe.

When Jamie and I wrote ELIXIR, we drafted a lovesong to wild creativity, for the stories our souls bear and are aching to tell, to the power of the written word when we can tap into the holy channel that comes alive in all of us when we are in nature, when we are in sacred space, when we are inspired by community and rest.

We have a couple of spaces open for this five-day fiesta of writing, playing, ceremonying, and nourishment. We’d love to have you join us amidst the ancient wisdom of Northern California, a perfect portal to return to your Self and honor what wants to come alive in your life. Won’t you join us? 🌲🖤🦉

Here’s a common conversation I’ve been having for a couple of months:

“Hey, are you leading any retreats this year?”

Me: Yes! I’m leading ELIXIR in October at that amaaaaaazing property in California. Come with us!

“I saw that, but I’m not a writer.”

At which point, I strap on my cape and explode into a whirlwind of ferocity and passion as I climb up on my soapbox.

You guys, creativity – whether it’s sculpting, or painting, or drawing, or photography, or being a parent, or being a business owner, or designing things, or writing, or sewing – is your birthright. I’ll say it again: CREATIVITY IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.

It is not dependent on how good you are at it, or if you’ve been formally taught, or if what you create generates money (don’t even get me started on that one), it is only and eagerly reliant on your willingness to honor what is already within you.

This is about accepting the divine truth that if are you alive, you are creative. If you know how to write words in the language you speak, you are a writer.

And it’s awesome if you write stories or poems or journal entries or cover features for Rolling Stone, but I’m also here to tell you that writing down what is on your mind and in your heart is MEDICINE.

Writing won’t just heal you, it will save you.

Literally. They have done multiple studies on how different forms of writing have changed people’s brains, pulled them out of trauma, soothed depression and anxiety, and provided a sense of belonging.

Not only is ELIXIR an incredible 700-acre oasis of nature for wandering, hiking, napping and eating amazing meals – not only is ELIXIR a haven for rest and ceremony as autumn starts to seep into our bones and we hold ourselves through an impending presidential election, but ELIXIR is a space where you get to experience the magic of the written word.

This energy will move through you and ignite your life whether you’re a best selling author or you just wrote your first journal entry. I promise.

Today is the last day for $4k in extras goodies when you register for ELIXIR. Join us, bb. You won’t regret it. Link in bio kloveyou. 🪄💥

I used to be totally turned off to participating in group work. The story I told myself was that it would be ineffective and boring, but if we’re being honest, I think I knew that I was incapable of being vulnerable in front of more than one person at a time.

And then five years ago my life started organically orienting towards collective healing. I wanted to do the work badly enough that it surpassed my judgements of groups, and I dove in. It started with plant medicine and carried over into group coaching, community acupuncture, EQ retreats, sacred sexuality teachings, and 12-step work. We always get what we need even when our Ego has a different agenda, and in group healing I found a sense of belonging, deep validation, and most surprisingly LEVITY. Doing the deep dives and digging through your shadow is way better when the people around you are making you laugh your ass off. Who knew?!

One of my favorite parts of my work is witnessing this happen within the container of EVOLVE. The moment when the group coalesces and everyone starts to fiercely support each other is magical. Watching women see themselves and their experiences thRough the eyes of another—a moment that dissolves shame and self-judgement in an instance—is a sacrament. The energetic shifts that are palpable in the middle of a breathwork ceremony or an embodiment practice rocks my soul Every. Single. Time.

There are a handful of spots left in this cosmic little community, and registration closes NEXT WEEK. We meet twice a month, there is a 24/7 container of support in between calls, and there’s a payment plan available that’s cheaper than groceries.

Say YES to yourself, it’s time. Happy Friday, love bugs. 🦉

If you obsess over conversations, situations, or what-ifs, this mantra is for you.

If you tend to respond or reach out from a place of urgency, your fingers firing off texts/emails or picking up the phone faster than you can filter your words, this one is for you. If you wind up feeling ashamed or embarrassed of those correspondences, then this mantra is especially for you.

If you have self-sabotaged in dating, if you are an instant-relationshipper, or if your barometer for romantic feelings surges more from the twitterpated high of an adrenaline rush than it is the human being in front of you, this mantra is for you.

Behold my favorite 12-step slogan: “More will be revealed.”

As a recovering codependent, romantic-partner-rescuer, plan-B, C, and D mapper, worst-case-scenario-plotter, and control-freak-in-flavors-you’ve-never-heard-of, this little diddy has saved my life and restored my sanity 284,395 times and counting.

This is a mantra about trust and faith and the unfailing willingness to not place weight on a future circumstances that are not real yet. It’s about getting curious about living full time in your body instead of your mind. It’s about returning to patterns of nature when we are drowning in doubt and fear.

It’s about being WILLING to not believe everything we think.

It’s about the potential of an outcome that could be far more beautiful and magical than you believe, on that you are unable to imagine with the information you have in this moment.

All of this is within reach, and we gotta start with your nervous system.

My darlings, I have space for one new 1:1 coaching client beginning in late April. I work with women in 3- and 6-month containers to help you honor yourself and your relationships with more vibrant communication, boundaries that facilitate the juiciest of connections, and the support system to make everything your life has been nudging you about become reality. Let me be your midwife of truth and magic.

More will be revealed. (Once you slide on into my DMs 😉🪄)

Venus entered Pisces yesterday, which is a big ol’ fiesta of love and pleasure and abundance. This transit is the essence of the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine—an examination of the intimate relationships in our lives (romantic and platonic) and the warmth we feel or don’t feel within them. This is a transit that also invites us into deeper relationship with pleasure, and to be honest about what could make that relationship more 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥.

What I know is that our capacity for giving and receiving love is correlative to our capacity for pleasure and our relationship with abundance—namely financial. If you get really curious about where your rivers of love and connection rage in all of their glory, you will likely notice that this holds true for the way you relate to pleasure and money.

The spaces where we feel scarcity, or where we believe our time and our energy is transactional, and especially any beliefs we have around our worth—these are spaces that tend to show up in the same ways in love, in pleasure (both sexual and non-sexual), and within our finances.

The places where we get sloppy and overindulge in things that feel good in the short term but dishonor us in the long term? Yep, you guessed it.

If you’re noticing connections in this and you want to shift them, I have space for two new 1:1 coaching clients in early April. I work with women to heal their connection to their boundaries and sovereignty so they can THRIVE, and I offer 3- and 6-month containers. Want more info? Slide on into those DMS. 🐍✨🫶🏼

This is a fierce yet gentle reminder that not only is it okay to rest, but that your brain needs many, many chunks of time in your day and in your life where it doesn’t have to take in more information, more stimulation, more figuring out.

We can not survive—and we sure as hell can’t THRIVE—without giving our minds and bodies space for digestion, integration, contemplation, and stillness.

There’s a lot going down right now, and we need you to take care of yourself.

Love you, mean it. 🦋

This does not mean we cancel people (although sometimes that’s what we need to do), but it does mean we get to rearrange the seating chart of our hearts. Who gets to be in the front row? Who needs to be moved a few rows back? And are you clear on the why’s of each?

Often we’re too overwhelmed with doubt, with unrelenting analysis, with questioning whether or not we’re overreacting to stay devoted to what we want, what our boundaries are, and what we want to be committed to in our personal relationships.

In this place, things get sticky.

Darlings, I have room for ONE new 1:1 coaching client, beginning in mid-November. Personal mentorship is like having your very own spiritual mirror, way-finder, block-clearer, and hype squad in one convenient package of love. Is it your time? (DM me for more deets k love you. 😘)

The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter, I am buying pumpkin spiced things like a true sentimental American, and that familiar tug of slowing down and going inward is dancing around me in every moment. It is fall in Colorado, which means it's also time for ReWild.

ReWild is a 3-day retreat that was born from the realization that everything we need to know in life can be found in nature, and from witnessing the ways that taking an intentional, unplugged break from our daily lives is the thing that yields the wisdom, the Knowing, the direction, and the clarity we so often seek in things that do not give us these gifts, in things that burn us out and throw us into the nasty spirals of not-enoughness and comparison.

ReWild is a lovesong to coming home to yourself, to play, to rest, to the beauty that happens when we are brave enough to be vulnerable in community. ReWild is a space for curiosity, for celebration, for moving our bodies in ways that are healing and expansive. ReWild is for morning coffee, heart-opening awakenings, tree nests, firepit ceremonies, and romping around the woods. ReWild is for nourishing your soul, nourishing your life, nourishing your belly.

Today is the final day to register for ReWild, as we will be gathering in two short weeks (typing this makes me squeal with giddiness 🥳). There are two spaces available, and if you're feeling called to do this, now is your time to SAY YES. The land at Sanctuary of the Inner Compass is waiting to dance with you, the coziest bed you've ever slept in is waiting to snuggle you, and a brilliant community of women is waiting to meet you. ❤️‍🔥 You know what to do.

I have a client who is a writer, and she’s in the middle of killing off the characters in her fantastical novel. She’s also been fueling her creative buzz with a lot of coffee and a side of stress, and her adrenals are shot. She’s also dealing with some perimenopause s**t.

I was doing some moxibustion on her belly just now, an herb we burn to bring out the full spiritual and physical medicine of whatever point we’re working with. I was doing this to raise her qi, and to tend to her adrenal burnout. Her eyes were closed as I was putting the warm herbs on her low abdomen.

“Whoah. Wait a second, isn’t this an energy center?”

I explained to her that it was her sacral chakra—the powerhouse of our sexuality, what we birth into our lives, our feminine essence, and….our creativity.

“I just figured out four different plot scenes I have been struggling with all morning. Like, they just arrived with absolute clarity.”

Coincidence? Nope. This stuff is powerful, y’all. Happy Hump Day Mercury Cazimi 🤟🏽🚀🦚

Expecting other people to know what your needs and wants are without actually telling them. Feeling gross and guilty for saying yes when you want to say no, and vice versa. Hanging out with Energy Vampires. Feeing resentful and running the same argument in your head for days/hours. Staying in a relationship/career/friendship that makes you unhappy. Giving until you’re empty and feeling hurt that your gifts aren’t reciprocated. Apologizing all the time, for things that aren’t your responsibility. Sharing intimate details of your life with someone you just met.

That up there☝🏽is a short list of ways our boundaries can be a little sloppy. Some of these surprised me the first time I heard them—especially the last one. When we have weak boundaries, we’re often taught that we need to do something differently. But the reason it’s sooo hard to break these behaviors—the reason we have a hard time with boundaries in the first place—is because there is something we’re being asked to feel that we’re afraid to feel, or that we don’t know we need to feel.

This is the core of boundary work, babes. It’s about clearing out our energy field enough to see the way home to ourselves. And sweetheart, you deserve an open road.

Spaces are filling for Boundary & Breath, a 12-week online fiesta of self-love, heart opening explorations into the ways we abandon ourselves, relational unleveling, weekly breathwork practices, and a coaching container where you are honored, held, and celebrated. The best part? This program is open to EVERYONE and you can join from anywhere in the world.   Payment plans available, scholarships open to single parents and BIPOC, and if you register by tomorrow at midnight you’ll save $200 and get an extra coaching call with Moi. See you there! 🦸🏻💃🏻💋
