Thank you for showing me what it means to mother with tenderness, strength, and soul โœจโœจ

You hold motherhood with such fierce love. You honor that sacred bond in how you listen, how you hold, how you lead with your hearts.

I feel endlessly grateful to be woven into this lineage of love. To witness you. To learn from you. To stand beside you.

Today and always, I honor the beauty and wisdom you carry ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒŒโœจ๐Ÿ˜˜

What would it feel like to TRULY have your own f*cking back, no matter what?

If you pause, and think about kind words to friends, loved ones, co-workers. The energy spent holding space, listening, relating, empathizing.

& then you think about your own internal narrative.
How much of it is criticizing, shaming, judging, belittling?

Do you celebrate the wins?
Physically cheer or do a happy dance for the little one inside who is gaining self awareness and learning to break patterns?

Do you meet your tears and anger with compassion? With the same tenderness you would for a dear friend?

Recently, I was grappling with old abandonment wounds that were festering for attention.
I hopped on the carousel ๐ŸŽ  for another ride around the abandonment fun park, and halfway through I thought,
โ€œhold up. what does my heart ACTUALLY need right now?
how can I show up and be present with everything that is bubbling to the surface?โ€

I went into the discomfort. Into the pain.

& in that moment a new doorway opened, a threshold to step through.

I had my own f*cking back.

Filling the void of abandonment with the tenderness of presence & the soft radiance of love.

When we show up for ourselves in this way, it actually deepens our capacity to hold space for others. Instead of sputtering around trying to keep a thin grasp on a nervous system that is completely fried, we have the emotional and energetic potency to truly feel, process, and be present for all that arises within & around us.

What would it feel like to nurture and tend to your internal landscape today?

To lean into a space of discomfort, shame, fear, rage, hurt, self righteousness, doubt, sadness, heartbreakโ€ฆ

and be like-
โ€œhey honey, Iโ€™ve GOT youโ€ โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Along the riverโ€™s edge, I pray into this sacred body.
Drumming every cell in cosmic call.

When there are no words to speak,
come back to the hallowed sanctuary of song.
Where voices rise and merge as One.

Into the medicine of the Heart โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Feeling so vibrant, full, and LIBERATED after the very first ecstatic dance in Albany yesterday!

A new gathering space for connection, community, expression, and of course DANCING.

Every week before the dance, we will gather at 12pm for separate womenโ€™s and menโ€™s circles, and then come together for about 45 minutes for laughter and play before the ecstatic dance.

My dear soul sister and I will be facilitating the womenโ€™s circles in the utmost excitement and love!

These sisterhood circles will be a space to meet new friends, to share with an open heart, to connect, and grow together. Together, we are creating a sacred space to gather and be witnessed- in your heartโ€™s fullest radiance.

If youโ€™ve been craving true authentic community, heartwarming friendship, and a space where you can be fully, wildly Y O U- this is it babe!

Sky Root DJโ€™s live at the ecstatic dance event. Weaving celestial sounds and earthy beats. Ecstatic dance is a place to express, move, and let loose from the week. Itโ€™s a space of total non-judgement. Everyone is held in the utmost love to just let go and do their thanggg ๐Ÿซถโค๏ธ

EVERY SUNDAY.
173 Spruce St. Albany NY

DM me if you have any questions!

We each walk a unique path, known and experienced only by y o u.
Your own perceptions, lessons, and growth.

Every circumstance revealed along the way, holds within it layers of shadow & the gift of wisdom.

The shadow of victimization holds within it the gift of freedom.
The shadow of dishonesty holds within it the gift of intimacy.
and so on.

& each are inextricably linked.

As you learn to recognize the patterns within, and you allow the archetypes to take shape- you begin to see the shadow aspects of self that rule the inner realms.

How the shadow of victimization might creep in and filter your perception in any given experience- but the magical thing is- as soon as we name it- it looses a bit of its power & stronghold.

When I look at the ways Iโ€™m being dishonest with myself- how I may be keeping myself small, or lost in projected fear- when I call in radical honestyโ€ฆI open the realm of intimacy.

& ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ž.

By acknowledging and accepting the shadow aspects of self that have ruling power, and using their presence as a compass for where to tune in. By tracing the stories that they tell, and following their roots into the depths.

When did this pattern of dishonesty begin?
How has it been trying to protect me?
Where can I lean deeper into radical truth?

The opening and the key ๐Ÿ”‘
Together they unlock the doorways to alignment with the truest expression of
Y O U ๐ŸŒž

PS- we explore all of this & more in my inner alchemy course ๐Ÿฅฐ
from the roots & origins of childhood patterns, to ultimate freedom and expression of your lifeโ€™s purpose.
layer by layer unlocking the depths of radiance inside you โœจโœจ

Traveling the path of Intimacy,
foot steps echo against cool damp earth.

Descending into the mystical cavern of surrender and communion-
Intimacy invites us to dance in the realm of the heart,

Where truth is spoken,
Where love is revered.

Intimacy teaches us to be so strong that we are free to be gentle.
To feel safe enough to express every jagged edge and unhealed wound.

To say, โ€œhere is all of me. I am not perfect, but my words are spoken in love, and I am here to listen and learnโ€

It is the language of the heart- that we may not have been taught- but it was born within, and there it still resides.

How would your life look different if you could invite intimacy closer within to express your heartโ€™s fullest truth & desire? ๐Ÿ’ซโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ

Searching for another recommendation from my 518 friends ๐Ÿ’—

Iโ€™d like to start hosting in person womenโ€™s circles again ๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’ซ would need a space where we could make noise, emote, sing, burn incense, express unencumbered, and fit 10ish people.

Would love a big barn or something that feels raw, but going into winter I know that would be tough. Any ideas or thoughts for local spaces? ๐Ÿ™โœจ

This angel has taught me love in a way Iโ€™ve never known before.

She is tender, gentle, kind, and true. But at the same time she holds a bold fierceness of Spirit. She is a warrior of Truth and is not afraid to stand up when itโ€™s needed.
She is such a sacred being of light.
& one that I will cherish forever with all that I am ๐ŸŒน

Thank you for bringing this beautiful soul into this world. For capturing this moment, and all the precious moments you see through your keen eye โœจ
Thank you for this precious babe.

May the golden light of love bask us all in itโ€™s sweet majesty. Through the dark, we shall take comfort in the wisdom of grace. In the light, we give thanks for all that is. So be it. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ

In the embrace of sisterhood,
we find the strength to bare all.

as we drop the armor
& shed the veil.
Where sharp edges melt,
and comparison turns to compassion.

We find a sacred home in the arms of one another.
We arenโ€™t afraid of the expanse of the ocean. The dark raging storms and the turquoise sea are all welcome in this circle of women.

๐ŸชฝShe will take you to the depths.

๐ŸชฝShe will hold you through the pain.

๐ŸชฝShe with rain tears of sorrow and joy, right there with you.

๐ŸชฝShe will rejoice in the majesty of love, reflected from one heart to another.

This is your permission slip to unfurl the ful expanse of all that is within you.
To honor your heart.
To give a full body YES to the life you are destined to create.

We are here to hold you, in wild reverence ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you feel called to step on this path, and claim all that you are Tori Cummings and I are hosting a weekend of pure magic Oct 6-8.

Plant medicine ceremony with magic ๐Ÿ„ and mama cacao๐Ÿซ, yoga, ta**ra embodiment practices, breathwork, connecting with the wild mountain, water blessing and anointing ceremony, holding one another in sisterhood, sacred circles, and much more ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ’ซ

Are you ready to join the circle? โญ•๏ธ

The past few months have been a deep catalyst in some serious shadow work. Ya feel me?!ย 

The web of self-sacrifice and self-abandonment has come up front & center.ย 

In our intimate relationships, self-sacrifice becomes an unconscious energetic contract.
The exchange unknowingly locks the other person into a cycle of abandonment wounding. The pattern of โ€œIโ€™ll give all of this up, & then you will love me- see me- never leave me- etc. for all that Iโ€™m willing to sacrifice for youโ€. Swirling in the undercurrents, just out of conscious reach. This DEEP experience of childhood wounding spirals open a pattern that plays out in the exchange of Relationship.

Untangling this wounding had me peeling back layers with penetrating honesty. In not voicing my needs, not finding the emotional safety within to express my feelings- and how this all began to grow an inner running list of resentment. It fed the flames of victim consciousness, and kept me harnessed in a narrative of pity.

Festering, needy, exhausted.

One day I woke up on the other side of the bed, a vast expanse of unmet needs lay between us. I felt hollow inside. Lost. Unsure of who I truly was anymore. A shell of the person I once was.ย 

I knew in this moment, something had to change. I needed radical transformation in my life.ย 

Step by step, I explored the dark night of my soul.ย Learning that growth is gained through our pain & sorrow. Learning to sit within darkness, instead of pushing to move beyond it.ย 

It was in these moments of quiet despair, that I learned how to lean in. How to nurture my nervous system. & what it actually means to build a relationship with my heart.

I began to piece back together all that it means to be me.
This body.
This breath.
This heart.
This soul.

Iโ€™ve been there in the depths of sorrow.
In the grip of grief.

If you are hurting,
If you feel lost,
Iโ€™ve been there too.

But I can tell you, every pain brings growth.
& every sorrow eventually finds gratitude.
Iโ€™m so grateful for the knowledge these experiences birthed, & for the wisdom I know have to lean on & share.
Youโ€™ve got this, love โค๏ธ
