reflections on living & unfolding

hey y’all - Happy August 1st & Leo season!
 
i’ve just returned home from one of the best retreats i have ever facilitated. i led a session on human design and team synergy, then the rest was strategic alignment. not only were the people remarkable, the emergence was glorious, i felt in my element. it was truly a dream come true.
 
i had crafted a video for this unfolding on fire and posted it a time ago (above). it was on fire and it feels so aligned. this retreat was a transmuting, a clarifying, a strengthening. it was exciting and i felt like the fire bender/ tender that i needed to be for the intention we had. #emergentstrategist
 
below i’ve pulled the synopsis of the video in case you prefer to read. enjoy!
 
 - fire can alchemize, bend, strength, transmute & can also cause harm, burn, destroy. fire is something that is sparked intentionally, so how do we use the teachings of fire (and our inner fire) to know how to shape its use for one vs the other?
 
 - fire teaches us to be aware, aware of what we are sparking, aware if we have the ability to tend to it and guide it to do what we ask it. fire asks us to listen and respond, call in the resources we need to respond to it. this is skill-building. everything it creates can be used for new life & new being.
 
 - "so with attention, awareness and ability, we can use fire to transmute, to alchemize, to change intentionally. And if we want to, what are the questions we need to ask? What are the fires or the places we need fire in our lives? how do we know what fires are asking us to pay attention to it, to tend to it, to utilize it?” 

solo self-practice: in my video, we tune into the element of fire and those final questions in the last bullet to see what comes up through a visualization practice (06:52). tune in to tune in!
 
what's happening: July

for those that don't know, i am a lover of human design. its a self knowledge system that is rooted in various sacred Indigenous technologies & quantum physics to provide some juicy self-awareness. it has provided many of the leaders, coaches, individuals and teams i work with new ways of understanding themselves and shaping their schedules, connections, and even self-talk to empower their most aligned way of being.
 
are you into self-assessments? would you like a different kind of take on how energetically you can best navigate life? i invite you to consider getting an HD reading with me!
i'm opening up the books to folks who would like a 90-minute HD reading paired with an in-depth report for personal use!

what's in my atmosphere lately

- my brilliant friend and amazing abolitionist Althea Seloover is offering an Abolitionist Summer Camp: “Abolition Skills Practice is a small group container in which we'll do just that – practice our skills that move us toward the break down of and divestment from oppressive systems." with Althea's guidance, this is truly going to shift the way we practice into new ways of being. check out more here & sign up!
 
& may your unfolding be everything you need.
