Time to get outside King County! I'll be offering breath meditation and a sound bath experience on the gorgeous Seattle Waterfront on Pier 62 on Wednesday’s in July.

Moon Reading: Full Moon in Leo
Happy Full Moon in Leo! Happy Aquarius Season!
I’ve been writing astral/moon insights for three beautiful years, almost to the day, and feel the Aquarian winds of transition and change blowing me toward new creative pursuits and curiosities to sink my teeth into.
I can't believe it’s been that long, I’m proud of myself dangit! It’s been a really lovely thing in my life on so many levels.
RESET: A Breathwork + Soundbath Ceremony coming in December!
Our time in this workshop will be spent connecting with our breath and creating space within. When we connect with our breath we can enjoy the peace outside the hamster wheel of our thoughts.
RENAISSANCE World Tour Review
She started the concert singing “I Love You” and then proved it for nearly three heart pounding, scream & tear inducing hours of sonic and visual EXCELLENCE, the likes of which have never been seen until Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour!!!!
Free to Express My Version of Blackness at Refuge Outdoor Festival 2023
This year’s Refuge Outdoor Festival was incredible and I’m truly looking forward to next year’s gathering! It was the diversity medicine I needed and I met people I’ll definitely be spending time with between retreats.
I grew up in a Black family surrounded by mostly White people and Christian culture (I know, how did I end up like this?!). It made it harder to access some of the deepest parts of who I am and it’s a privilege to have so much more space to do so now.
Join me for Breathwork & a Sound Bath at Refuge Festival
Going to Refuge Fest is outside my comfort zone and at the very same time I know I need it.
That’s life huh? Built so discomfort has the uncanny ability to help us grow.
Reconexión Ceremony Recap
Ceremony is home and I got to go home again this past Sunday at Reconexión. This particular offering by beloved and powerful woman of spirit Maria Muñoz @marialightowl was the first of, I suspect, many to come but it felt familiar. It was warm, everyone belonged, there was no pressure yet we were so held, there was respect and curiosity, it felt fertile.
Start Loving Yourself, like, starting NOW!
You're allowed to love yourself NOW, there is no "perfect" in this world!!
I dare you to let those unhelpful/untrue negative voices fade. Drop 'em, you won't descend into chaos without them, I promise.
Moon Reading: Full Moon In Virgo
Happy Full Harvest Moon in Pisces! This is a Water sign that has no problem operating on the deepest realms of our emotions and intuition. Couple that with six planets in retrograde (including the unfairly feared Mercury Retrograde) and you’ve got yourself a very potent time to do/release some inner work. Anybody feeling some extra feels up in here?!

I Had An Abortion
We had an abortion! My desire to share this information is to destimagtize abortions and add my voice, heart and hands toward making sure all women have access to safe abortions everywhere, forever.
Happy Loving Day!!!
I’m the Black half of an interracial couple and I have a LOT of feels about it.
Maybe other Black folks in interracial partnerships can understand this but somewhere, deep inside, I experience feelings of guilt because my partner is White….

How To Dancewalk
I started Dancewalking in 2009 as a self-dare. I dared myself to show no restraint, to let my body move when my favorite songs came on during my park walks in San Diego. Nobody told me to dare myself so why would I inflict what seemed like a cruel sorority hazing game on myself?
Moon Reading: New Moon in Capricorn
Happy New Moon in Capricorn and Happy New Year (Gregorian calendar style)!! I wonder if the calendar making folks knew what they were doing when they drew up plans to start the calendar year in the sign of Capricorn, the eldest Earth sign with a trademark organized, focused, can-do energy. If grinding is the only thing on your mind tho, you might miss out on some of the other powerful influences of this time. Read Below for more New Moon insight.
Moon Reading: New Moon in Sagittarius
Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius!! Ok it’s kind of the same news but a different spirit: Yes this moon phase carries an intensity and an edge that we’ve experienced over the last few moons, but Sag energy loves a little kerfuffle, a little wrench thrown into the mix to create something new and it delights in seeing the jolly big picture.
Moon Reading: Full Moon in Taurus
Happy Full Lunar Eclipse Beaver Moon in Taurus!!! We are in Earthy, grounded Taurus but things still feel very much upended and pressurized under Scorpio’s deep emotional waters. Plus, just for funsies, mix in a rare, slow moving partial lunar eclipse. Yeah, iiiit’s a moment!
