Hello my love, I want to strongly tell you that you are not alone. I can't hold your hand, I cannot hug you but I am wrapping you in the deepest most profound energetic love hug that I can muster.
If you are feeling down and out right now, alone, defeated, grieving…. You are not alone. There are still safe/brave spaces for you. It is the most important time to come together right now.
This work is my highest calling in life and I have trained to do this work from day one of being born, all throughout school where I was bullied and an outcast, and all throughout my young adulthood where I lost friends, family, and romantic relationships for being as outspoken and powerful as I am.
I am someone who has been stomped on in the dirt for who I am my whole life.
I used to often carry the weight around of feeling like “I am a punching bag for other women.” My mere existence triggers people left, right, and centre.
My hair cut, my body size, my gender expression, my sex worker background, being a slut/sexually liberated.
And especially the fact that I am loud and fucking proud of all these parts of myself.
None of this makes me better than anyone, but as those who entrust me in being their guide and teacher know; because I have been there to those dark places, because I keep going and keep rising, makes me the best at being able to hold you through your storms and through your rising!!!
As I digest the world today the moment that keeps coming back to me is the Sacred Rage Ceremony we had at the retreat in May. This ceremony is a highlight of my life.
The most peculiar part of it was how much fear there was to participate. This bubbling rage that most of them had never ever ever touched before. But as we went one by one, letting the rage rip out of us, physically moving it out of our bodies, and then alchemizing it with eroticism... It was profound to see it move. To see it in real time, TURN INTO OUR POWER.
And of course all the the themes shared had to do with all the shit that oppresses us: men, patriarchy, politics, homophobia, and the church "don't get me fucking started on the church".
Being now quite a few years into holding space in this work, the things we are scared of are not just our shadow emotions, but they are our eroticism, our esctacy, and our pleasure! Which are what is directly correlated to our power!And holding space for you to rise in all of your humanity, to feel it and to see the power in all of it when we are not just pushing it down... THAT is truly what I aspire to do as a sacred space holder for this work. Creating a safe/brave enough space for all of your humanity to be welcome here and see your power rise from within you!
There is no more powerful time than NOW to start this work in a coven in community TOGETHER.
We rise sister/sibling. We rise together.
My power is your power is OUR POWER.
