Greetings and salutations dear community. As you know, the world has gone to hell in a hand basket - just as Octavia predicted. This fiery sunset feels indicative of these times. I know it feels like the end but it is the beginning of our uprising! This is the time to strap-in, strap-on and phuck the white-supremacist, hetero-patriarchy/autocracy with our gifts, talents, protests, resistance, medicine, magic; and our individual and collective freedom!
To keep on living, thriving, flourishing and accessing our pleasure amidst all of this oppression and repression, is no small thing! It is revolutionary! Our ancestors did it and so will we!
(Keep reading to the end, to learn about my upcoming events)
I’m realizing, now more than ever, how important it is for me to offer my calling in larger ways. I’ve been playing small and have no more time to live in fear. I have always felt that everyone who had a similar calling as mine, was better at it than me. So, there are ways that I have stayed small, when it came to sharing my work - sharing me. This was due to imposter syndrome and my history with trauma. But truth be told, I have always had BIG BIG energy; and erotic, sex-positive, spaces are where my big energy was always accepted. And I have always been that accepting, affirming, non-judgmental space for others. Now, I finally accept myself! That’s what my ancestors have been waiting for! And they are dancing, with so much joy and elation!
I’ve been a purposeful healer for almost 30 years now, 28 to be exact. I’ve been an activist and an artist for even longer. For me, art is activism and resistance. Healing is activism. My sexual healing work, shamanic work and my existence has been and continues to be activism. I have been freeing and healing myself, and other minds, bodies and spirits, as a conscious calling, since 1997. And I’m here to shine the light on it!
Last weekend, on the last day of Pride month, I was invited to facilitate a meditation to kick off a pride, mini-retreat for rest play and freedom, at D. Windsong Retreat Space just outside of Atlanta. I was so excited to offer my Moaning Mediation as a part of this collaboration, and got to enjoy all of the natural, holistic and playful offerings of the day. I saw old and new faces, and it is always so enlivening to share space with black, queer community right here in Atlanta. It’s home for me.
Below are some workshops & retreats where you can access your big energy and stop playing small. where you can get hands-on, erotic embodiment, neo-tantric and moaning experiences, check out my workshops as well as collaborations in the coming months…
