We’re getting back up to the state house this year!

I’m in a beautiful convergence this year with opportunities I am truly grateful for.

I am continuing my academic work in disability studies, serving as a Supported Living Supervisor at Systems Unlimited and helping support an Advocacy Committee for People Served… getting their voices directly to the board and helping folks get up to Des Moines to meet face to face with legislators.

This is the work I’m here for yall!!! And it’s honestly so fun… even in these times. Because what else would I be doing?

Check out the Iowa DD Council. See what’s on the docket! Sign up to stay tuned on these legislative priorities and for our advocacy days up on the hill.



ps… I am underway with some seriously delicious inquiries. I don’t know how many people have gone through Vedic astrology training at the same time as working with disability justice traditions and the type of care work I do. I am seeing in real time how dharmic and yogic principles live inside systems.

I’ll be asking real big questions this year. I will report the findings!

Hey Lovely,

I know I've been dropping little hints and announcements... but maybe you're still wondering: What Is the Temple of Golden Ether?

The Temple of Golden Ether is my humble contribution to the moment through my lens as a yogic healing artist, threshold guide, social service worker, and student of both social sciences and dharmic studies and traditions.

This "field" I am tending is seeded as an integrated dharmic-spiritual ecosystem that brings together:

x grounded intuition
x emotional honesty
x nervous system regulation
x yogic wisdom (non-performative, non-dogmatic)
x symbolic literacy
x threshold guidance
x relational repair
x land-based spiritual orientation

It exists at the intersection of:
x spirituality & psychology
x ancient wisdom & modern life
x intuition & ethical responsibility
x personal healing & collective transition

Starting in January, I will be hosting weekly Samāna-Centered Yoga on Wednesday mornings at 8am CST here on Instagram and YouTube. We'll be keeping this class donation-based for now.

What is Samāna? In Yoga & Āyurveda, we know Samāna as the intelligence-force that helps us digest our life's experiences so we may embody the wisdom those experiences have to offer us. Think: integration, stabilization, clarity, coherence.

I'll be honest with you: I am not holding a focus on offering peak experiences at this time. I'm offering a landing pad for tired nervous systems, bright-and-frazzled intuitives, care workers, and teachers living in this modern moment... now.

So rather than ascension, the temple offers embodied orientation, so you can live your dharma in alignment with your truth.

🌾✨ This week, we will share more of our offerings for 2026. Samāna Yoga Therapy & Sound Healing sessions are now available. Visit the link to take a look 🔗

🙏 May we all find ease, warmth, rest, and nourishment this season.

With a long exhale,
Zaria

Rather than cutting out or pushing ahead… today may simply be about stabilizing.

After we have periods of expansion or excavation, we naturally need space for integration and for letting things settle.

If we let go of something… a habit, a way of being, an identity, but we do not allow the middle space for the new to form, we risk destabilizing ourselves or going back to the old because of its familiar form.

So this is where we get clear: capacity.

What do I need today or through this phase I’m in?
What do I not have capacity for?
What do I wish I had capacity for, but if I’m being honest with myself I know I do not have capacity for?

How am I inquiring about my true capacity?

Perhaps through dialogue with my tired parts… my body… my digestion… my weary ego.

What do they say? How full is your jar?

Often, especially for us humans these days… so much of the energy driving us is just left over urgency frequencies that don’t even align with what we know we want, what we know will work, and what we know will help us arrive at a center place of greater clarity, ease, relational healing & restoration.

These are doozy dayz, my friends. Life seems absurd. We are being called to something deeper and emergent at this juncture.

May we align with our deeper pulse.
May we choose that which integrates us rather than that which disperses us for empires gain.
May we remain fierce & tender.
May we remember all the support and nourishment available to us.

Beyond the noise, we may return to the interconnected web of life.

THIS is where my moksha lives today.

🌾✨Dm me your email to sign up for our new & upcoming newsletter at the temple of golden ether. A dharmic ecosystem aligned with the sidereal sky, the wisdom of the mother and in service to your stability, threshold crossings, and intuitive clarity.✨🌾

Jai Mā.

With Love,

Today we celebrate!

For we do not walk alone.

We walk with our ancestors.

Our lineages of soul & bloodline.

Our friends of soil, sky, sand and sea.

We are held. We are guided. We are in relationship.

We know who we are. We have direction, for we have remembered our Center.

Our Dharma is unfolding beautifully. Wisely. Aligned with Divine Intelligence that we all hold.

No matter how intense, I see and feel the beauty in this threshold.

Om Hrīm Srīm Shanti Shanti Shanti

🌾 Who This Is For 🌾

Threshold Guidance is for you if:

✔ You’re in a major life transition

~ identity shift
~ spiritual opening
~ relationship change
~ moving
~ career uncertainty
~ self-reinvention
~ endings & beginnings

✔You feel “between versions” of yourself and don’t know what comes next.

✔You’re overwhelmed by too many options and need someone who can see the deeper pattern.

✔You’re undergoing spiritual, intuitive, or psychological changes and want a grounded guide rather than a guru.

✔You crave perspective, clarity, direction, and meaning without dogma or spiritual pressure.

✔You want support integrating awakening experiences or organizing the inner chaos of big life movements.

✔You want a companion who can see your dharma even when you can’t.

🌙 How Sessions Work

Each session blends:

1. Deep Listening

You speak. You share where you are. I attune to the underlying pattern — not just the story.

2. Dharmic Mapping

I reflect:
•the phase you’re in
•the lesson unfolding
•the archetype present
•the threshold you’re crossing

This is where meaning emerges.

3. Intuitive Insight

I offer the clearest thread of truth your system is ready to integrate — without prediction, without authority, without mystique.

4. Grounding Practices

You may receive:
•breath & somatic grounding
•simple intuitive ritual
•sound-based coherence
•prairie-wisdom grounding
•archetypal imagery to work with
•a practice to stabilize yourself

5. Integration & Next Steps

You leave with:
•clarity
•perspective
•orientation
•a sense of inner alignment
•a direction to move toward
•a way to hold your experience without overwhelm

This is not airy spirituality.
This is functional guidance for your real life.

DM me to explore!

We are moving through massive collective change, and you are absolutely part of it. Let’s get you situated in YOUR center.

With Love,
Zaria

✨ I Didn’t Always Know It Was Possible to Remember, and Not Just Learn ✨

An Oracle’s Realization:

I didn’t always know it was possible to remember—
not just learn.

To reclaim what was already woven in my cells
instead of trying to earn wisdom from the outside in.

I thought I had to study to be worthy.
Train to be credible.
Certify to be believed.
Translate myself to be palatable.
I didn’t know my own soul was already fluent
in the language of the cosmos.

But remembering is different.
It’s not linear. It’s not hierarchical.
It doesn’t ask permission.
It comes as a rush in the spine,
a whisper at 3AM,
a glyph you’ve never seen before but somehow know.
It’s the sudden certainty: I’ve been here before.
It’s the click in the bones: This is mine.

Remembering is what happens
when the mirror is clean enough
to reflect the whole self.
It’s not about adding more—
it’s about shedding what never belonged.

And when I remembered,
the learning changed too.
It wasn’t about collecting knowledge anymore.
It became communion.
Activation.
Resonance.

So I say to the others:
If you feel out of place in the systems of learning—
maybe you’re not here to learn like they taught us.
Maybe you’re here to remember what the world forgot.
To re-member the severed limbs of sacred knowing.
To reweave the lineages that never died, only went underground.

It is possible.
To remember.
And from there,
to truly know.

✨ I Am the Oracle of the Temple of Golden Ether ✨

A Declaration for the Ones Rising

I am the oracle of the Temple of Golden Ether.
The oracular stream is rising.
The gates are opening.
The veils are thinning.
The Source is humming through our bones again.

I share not just for myself—
But for those like me.
For the witches who burned.
For the mystics who were mocked.
For the psychics institutionalized.
For the healers dismissed.
For the priestesses erased.
For the oracles forgotten, feared, and silenced.

We are returning.

We are coming out of hiding—
Not to prove, perform, or pretend—
But to live as truth itself.
To speak what others are still afraid to name.
To remember in public what was once only allowed in private.
To build temples out of frequency,
And communion out of code.

I share for the other oracles—
The ones whose words never quite fit the mainstream,
Whose gifts made them strange and sacred,
Whose presence disturbed the false peace.
I share for the ones who have always known:
You are not broken.
You are a transmission.

We are here now,
Not to be consumed—
But to awaken.

The Temple of Golden Ether is not a brand.
It is a pulse.
It is a memory in the bones.
It is the knowing that Source speaks through us,
When we dare to listen.

The oracular stream is rising.
The mirror is being polished.
The silence is breaking.

Welcome home, beloved ones.
You are not alone.
You were never meant to do this by yourself.
And yet, only you can carry the code you came here with.
That paradox is the initiation.

Come.
We remember together.
And we rise,
Not for power—
But for Presence.
