Time to Shift
May Body and Soul Inform the Way Forward
This is a wild time of initiation, especially for sensitive souls distraught in the dis-eases of our times. Covid was bad. This?
I can’t tell you how often I’ve upped my spiritual practices to navigate utter dread. Gratefully, I’ve learned that when I do, hopeful, amazing things also rise. Sometimes, there are miracles that blow me away.
And, it takes all we can give.
If you have been flying solo, need like-minded community, or are without one. If you navigate anxiety and dread and over-depend on intellect, you might need more than getting off social media and taking deep breaths in the months to come.
Are you resourced?
I hope so. And, I suspect we’ll need spiritual resources we haven’t called on in generations: four beloved practices that help strengthen sovereignty of soul and long-term resilience. All sacred practices rely on our connection to the Motherboard of Imagination and awakening a field that is ALL ABOUT PLAY. This is so counter-intuitive in hard times, it is easy to forget how to get there. I know I need constant reminding.
The four beloved practices would have us psychically connect to our Spirit Team, tap into our creative birthrights, center our purpose, and dance with suffering in community as we bow to our human limits. How are you doing?
If Fear feels too real these days, consider this. The science is in. Artists, dancers, healers, and contemplatives know how to claim and call on a center of gravity that demands respect for sacred mystery, creativity, listening, spontaneity, truth-telling, and compassion. We are needed!
If you’ve been exploring underused collective portals that heighten spiritual intelligence and practicing, are you ready for that to be known?
If you need a Spirit Team, a playgroup, a wisdom way,
and a place to be seen and credentialed,
The 2025 Art of Ensoulment Courses are open for enrollment.
Link here to express interest.
These courses offer us group paradigm shifts and gentle chiropractic adjustments that move us out of old embodied frameworks and restore our dynamic, dancing, interwoven souls.
If you struggle with institutional approaches that credential you but downplay even your most humble sense of being a body and soul, don’t remain confused!
If you are active in the expressive arts, a somatic modality or are a dedicated practitioner who wants credentialing and space to circle up with like-minded playmates, including almost thirty coaches, maybe this is for you. Our body wisdom, soul wisdom, creativity, and intellect belong together.
If you are a IBPOC or queer and need specific support, I have amazing Art of Ensoulment Coaches who can support you.
I am excited to offer two brief welcome retreats: The Upcoming Winter Art of Ensoulment Beloved Practices Course, a Fall Class for Sensitives on How to Dance with Efficiency of Energy, Clarity of Vision, and Courage to Love, and The New AOE Coaching Circle for dedicated practitioners who complete fall and winter courses.
