Once Upon A Connection

04/26/2026

On Friday night I held a small-group class - Erotic Awakening. As with all things in my somatic work, the energy of the souls who walk into the studio drive where the session will go.

This was no exception. I will share only vaguely here as I honor our safe container always.

Connection, spiritual empowerment, a soul awakening, a remembering of HER - not validating a career, not only seeing her as a mom, not focusing on her partnered relationships, not focusing on how her sensuality translates into activity with another person.

So how is that an Erotic Awakening? Because when the soul is embraced, the whole person, when a woman remembers she holds the keys to deep joy within herself, when she remembers her superpowers extend beyond giving to others and that she is a vessel allowed to give to herself - when external stressors take a back seat to that internal superpower....

Then you can remember that you can indeed remain your whole self, you can find moments of pleasure and joy even if you are tired, you feel wronged, you are hurt....

You can start to see your world through beautiful lenses again that remind you the smell of a spring morning makes your soul smile, the look on your partner's face as they recognize all you do, the good night sleep you finally had - you make room for those reminders to evoke a sense of desire, a desire that sparks not only in your own self-worth, an internal erotic joy, but also a desire in those external to you that you wish to reconnect your sensuality with.

My tag line is "Intimacy Begins When You Romance Your Own Soul First"...

You simply cannot be everything for everyone else if you do not fill your own cup first - and one of the first things to shut down when we have to conserve resources are the things we feel are optional - unfortunately one of the first to go is pleasure. Fill your cup so you can make that room - you are still there. You are still all of you.

Erotic Awakening class is transition to the HER AWAKENING COHORT - this is not a one and done fun spicey session. Friday showed me this is connection, this is growth work, this is finding and a full awakening of the female soul. A new cohort will be starting in May. Details to come!

I blogged tonight - and this topic is really very near and dear to me. I know what it is like to be stuck and to have to world tell you that you should be unstuck - but your body is telling you flight, fight, freeze, fawn, flop...

Another thing the world likes to tell you to do is to be grateful for and to celebrate the blessings - but who tells you it is ok to grieve through the transition, the change that the blessing brings.

The world tends to tell us when we should feel a certain way. I don’t buy that – that thought process allows shame to enter into the room and shame tends to shut us down. And guess what happens when we shut down and pack it away? Unheard, unprocessed? The body keeps the score.

I invite you to comment or send me a message - you are allowed and welcome to be heard. Share as you see fit - you never know when someone else is wishing to be heard.

This Friday night, put yourself on the calendar.

Sensual Flow - April 17 - 7:30 PM
Once Upon a Connection at Savage Mill
TICKETS ARE 2:1 on Eventbrite

This isn't a workout. It's not a performance. There's no large mirror for you to judge yourself, there is no judgement at all.
Sensual Flow is low light, small group, women only. Gentle movement designed to help you feel good in your skin - not someone else's version of good. Yours.

We do soft, affirming music, we flow, we sway, we close our eyes, we work on intentional breath, we focus on reconnecting with ourselves, we work on activation of positivity through gentle somatic healing movement.

No experience needed. No flexibility required. Just show up in comfortable clothes and let your body remember that it's allowed to feel something other than tired.

Only a few spots remain. Class is intentionally kept small - 6 women max.
Book your spot: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985955874481?aff=oddtdtcreator

Intimacy begins when you romance your own soul first.
Please reach out to me with questions.

Oliver became very interested in my stones so I offered some Trigger Point Pressure work with a Ruby Kyanite palm stone.

(believed to aid in emotional healing by fostering self-love, increasing life force/vitality, reducing stress, and enhancing communication and intuition).

He is a typical high-strung, nervous, spastic doodle. He melted and when I stopped, he reached his legs up for more. He is now racked out.

He told me what he needed. Animals know self-care better than us.

The Morrigan. She is not the gentle voice that reassures, she is the presence that reveals. The one who strips away illusion, who stands in the truth of what is coming whether you are ready or not.

She is often feared because she does not comfort the version of you that wants to stay the same.

She calls forward the version of you that is ready to face reality.

There is a part of you that has always felt too much. Too aware, too perceptive, too unwilling to ignore what others pretend not to see. The part of you that senses shifts before they happen, that feels truth beneath words, that cannot fully settle in spaces that are misaligned.

And for a long time, you may have tried to quiet that.

To be less intense.
Less reactive.
Less aware.

Because it would have been easier.

But The Morrigan does not let you stay comfortable in denial.

She is the moment you see things clearly and cannot unsee them. The moment you recognise that something is ending, shifting, or no longer aligned, even if no one else is ready to admit it yet.

And that knowing can feel heavy.

Because awareness comes with responsibility.

It asks you to act differently. To choose differently. To stop pretending that what you feel isn’t real just because it would be easier to ignore it.

The Morrigan teaches that your intensity is not a flaw, it is perception. It is instinct sharpened into clarity. It is the ability to stand in truth even when it isolates you.

Not everyone will understand this.

Some will say you’re overthinking.
Some will say you’re too much.
Some will wish you were easier, quieter, less confronting.

But you are not here to make truth comfortable.

You are here to recognise it.

So if you feel like you see more than you used to, like your tolerance for illusion is disappearing, like you can no longer stay where things feel off.

That is not you becoming difficult.

That is you becoming aligned.

And once you see clearly, there is no returning to who you were before.
