On to the meat of the post….
The Revolution
The revolution is already underway. You can feel it; we all can, globally. Each day brings a new wave of fear, of old towers and institutional fortresses beginning to crumble. What a beautiful opportunity we have, a gift: We get to start implementing mass-scale reorganization of humanity’s systems.
How do we create new ways of being while being required to live amongst the ruins of what once was? The current nodal axis for our eclipses—Leo/Aquarius—gives us a hint.
In a paradox, the best way to assist the collective is to focus on our selves.
When we focus internally, on our individual sovereign values and lives, we begin to exempt ourselves from the assigned syllabus of life under capitalism. We make different choices. We begin to form new habits and routines. Our attention and our resources begin to flow to efforts that support everyone instead of the Epstein class of billionaires.
They’d have you believe (gestures broadly at the old white men and their accomplices attempting to keep a stranglehold on their waning power) that there’s nothing you can do. There’s no action you can take that would change the outcome.
That’s not true.
And it starts with you. You and your body. That’s it.
Listening to Your Heart
On Wednesday night, Aug. 12, we have both the new moon and a total solar eclipse.
Let’s go on a journey.
With both the sun and moon in Leo, we’ll focus on accessing our heart centers. Eclipses are a time to go inside, to rest—not to do ritual—so we will focus on simply being present with our bodies and their messages.
With Mercury transiting the outer planets of Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus the day before and of the eclipse, we have additional access to communications within the depths: Witnessing our shadows.
Asking: Who are we when the mask falls away?
We’ll start by anchoring, grounding, and centering, followed by an Embodied Intuition practice that I will walk everyone through. After noting our current energy, we’ll enter the journey proper.
I’ll guide you to your heart, the sun-filled electromagnetic center of your being. On this eclipse and new moon day, it’ll be dark. We’ll spend some time in the shadows, making friends with the lost parts of you, before coming back.
You’ll have some time to journal, take notes, or pull cards. I’ll open the circle up for everyone to have a chance to talk about their journey and ask any questions they may have.
Circles usually last for 60-90 minutes and start at 7pm ET promptly. Circles are held on video and are not recorded; it’s up to you whether you want to have your camera on and whether you want to share!
New moon circles are donation-based to allow attendees to pay what they can. A donation is not required to sign up. Just curiosity.
