POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Every life has a curriculum.

Mine included instability, childhood physical and SA abuse, resilience, dedication, creativity, travel, heartbreak, adventure, and learning how humans can human.

Some of it I chose.
Some of it chose me.

Over time, I learned that the things we carry don’t have to stay burdens.

With the right tools, support, and attention, they can become the very material that moves a life forward.

And this the very spirit behind Alchemy with Ash.

If something in this story resonated with you, I’d love to hear:
✨What has your life curriculum taught you?

Excited/nervous to share this lil look at some of what I’m up to: creating spaces and experiences for personal and interpersonal transformation—so that we may be more intimate and connected in this brief, beautiful life.  So grateful to @thebalanced_dad for thinking of me for this project. You’re a generous and talented fella. And for our lil crew that made this happen: @sophium @jnthnstein and Dante.

And for the magical sounds of @robotkoch. How serendipitous that I’d been listening to his music long before he took my training, and not until I’d pick this song months later for this project would I finally put two and two together! When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.

What a gift to do this work in the world ✨

You've done the therapy. Read the books. You can name your patterns.

And you're still doing them.

That's not a failure of willpower. It's the limit of insight without embodiment.

Real change happens when new possibilities get lived in the body - not just understood in the mind.

That's exactly what The Refinery is built for.

6 weeks of group somatic coaching, live practice, and community for people who are self-aware and still stuck.

We'll slow down, skill up, and build the capacity to actually show up differently for what matters most.

Faster than caffeine... and cheaper than your $7 latte (free, actually 😏)

Try this for 30 seconds ~ 1 min.
Use it throughout the day as a lil pick-me-up~

I got a snazzy whistle in Porto and each city I visited afterward may have been made aware~

Stellar shots by @megan_auron against this Lisbon wall that I just so happened to match 🇵🇹

I said this to a client and she paused with a kind of heavy resonance. Then told me it hit hard, rang true.
And inspired~

This was a MASSIVE integration in my own self-development journey too. And it set me free.

I have a feeling this might land for someone else, too…

Have you ever sought your needs to be met outside yourself? Meanwhile no longer in contact with inner tending, no longer able to listen within?

This is essentially recreating a pattern you're likely fixated on fixing externally.

If any of this lands for you: your work might be less about getting even clearer in communicating your needs, nor in teaching your partners/people about their own avoidance (as tempting as it can be 😅)

The work might be:
coming home to yourself.

Grateful for the queer artists, programs, & people brave enough to keep telling our stories.
Amsterdam gave us this one:

I have not yet taken
My final form
But I am also not
Who I was when I was born
Awaiting times
For times to change
Until that time
I will be strange

We found this poem by @live__laugh__levi a couple days ago on display in Boys Do Cry by @prinsdevos, @queer_gallery

Your cortisol spikes in the first 30-45 minutes after waking, whether you use that window meaningfully or not.

A morning practice doesn’t create the energy.
It decides where it goes.

If you want inspiration for a morning that sets you up (and that you’re actually excited for) —> make yours with the free Morning Practice Builder in my bio ☀️
