When I share posts like this, I know they can land heavy. Some will read it and feel judged. Some will think I’m calling them dark or demonic. Please know that is NOT my heart. But do I get where they are coming from? 100% I would be upset too because I lived it and heard it.

For years, I loved these very things yoga, reiki, festivals, mysticism. They were fun, they felt healing, they gave me a sense of belonging. I understand the pull because I lived it. I understand the beauty because I was drawn to it too.

But slowly, almost without noticing, I found myself on a hamster wheel. A class led to a training, the training to another course, the course to another retreat. I was always reaching for the next thing and yet never fully satisfied. The light I thought I was chasing kept me busy but never set me free.

And I’m not the only one. I’ve made several friends since leaving new age. Women who once owned yoga studios or taught yoga who have also walked away from it all to follow Jesus. Every single one of them would tell you what felt like healing was only a counterfeit. What promised freedom left us searching for more. Only Christ gave rest.

That’s why I speak now. Not to condemn anyone, but to give language to what I wish someone had told me in a way to understand. To gently name what looks like light but quietly pulls us away from the Source of all light.

My concern is especially for those who love Jesus and don’t realize these practices contradict His Word. Many don’t even know what divination is I didn’t full know either. I was searching for healing, not for deception.

So please hear this I am not here to demonize you. I am here to share my story and to join with countless others who’ve been set free. Jesus is not another card in the deck, another voice among many. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And He is enough. 🤍

Grateful for the gift of friends who make the road lighter.
Who reach down when we fall,
speak hope when we forget,
and walk beside us toward Jesus.

⚠️ A Caution for Our Community ⚠️

I love this town, and that’s why I’m speaking up. On the surface, the Yosemite Goddess Festival looks fun- food, music, community, and glitter everywhere. I understand the draw, because I was once there myself, smiling behind a booth, thinking I was offering light.

But behind the beauty are practices that the Bible warns against divination, sacred space rituals, tarot, “angel” cards. They promise wisdom and peace, but what they actually offer is counterfeit light. God tells us to test the spirits (1 John 4:1), because not every spirit is from Him.

I don’t say this to condemn anyone. I know many who attend or even host this festival truly mean well. I was one of them. But good intentions don’t protect us from deception. What looks like light can quietly become chains.

This is Part 1 of a 4-part series pulling back the curtain on what’s being taught at the Yosemite Goddess Festival. My prayer is that you’ll pause, look beyond the glitter, and ask: Is this truly light, or is it a lure?

Because only Jesus gives peace that lasts, freedom that’s real, and light that never turns to darkness. 💛

A Season to Slow Down, Breathe, and Restore

Winter is a time to embrace stillness, reflect inward, and nurture yourself. At Rising Rooted, our yoga classes are thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are, blending intentional movement with deep relaxation to support your mind, body, and soul.

Here’s what makes every class a transformative experience:

✨ Grounding Breathwork to Begin
We start each session with intentional breathwork to help you release stress, connect to the present moment, and set the tone for your practice. Feel the weight of the world lift as you draw your focus inward.

✨ Mindful Movement to Flow
Whether you join us for Power Yoga, Slow Flow, or Candlelit Yoga, each sequence honors your energy and encourages balance. Move with purpose, build strength, and cultivate calm in a supportive, trauma-informed space.

✨ Deep Rest with Yoga Nidra to End
Every class concludes with Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation practice known as “yogic sleep.” This deeply restorative practice helps you relax fully, release tension, and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

💛 Unlimited Yoga for Just $33 This January 💛
This winter, give yourself the gift of slowing down and showing up for YOU. Prioritize your well-being in a way that feels gentle, intentional, and restorative.
