I was so fortunate to find her in bloom last night ~ Epiphyllum oxypatellum. Lotus of Brahma. I went to my treatment space to load my bike up and as I entered I was altered by an erotic smell. I paused at the threshold. Her presence, this smell, was both unknown and known. Timeless. A deep rememberance. Cosmic and ecstatic, divine beauty, and a blessing to every cell in my body.
I have called my treatment space "Birdsong," and it is, and I feel the space is a temple,

✨the temple of the flower✨

The night of the Perseids and the remembrance.
We are love.

A M I ✨O P A L // how do you describe… someone so ethereal. But also so down to earth and sweet and silly? Someone so brilliant and beautiful and pure yet so real and truthful <— seriously what I asked chat GPT when trying to come up with a caption. However, I think you get the point just from that alone. Ami, I love your heart! taken in Orcas Island by @ami.opal

If you have ever experienced truly attuned touch from a practitioner you know how irreplaceable it is.

If you have ever experienced a teacher who knows their work based on direct experience gained over decades you know how valuable they are.

If you have ever sat in circles of women who have gathered to remember ways of tending of each other that have been long forgotten/rejected/shamed you know it will change your life forever.

If you are craving any of those things, my mentor (and dear friend) @amiopal is gathering a small cohort of women (NDs and LMTs) to learn the art of pelvic attunement this October 5th-9th and I am so honored to be assisting in holding the container and offering additional hands on support.

This training is the first in a series of direct, internal and external techniques for restoring balance to the pelvic floor muscles, tailbone, pelvic organ fascia, and the energetic flow through the central channel.

We know this work already, we just need to remember.

Reach out to @amiopal to see if this training is the right fit for you.

We can walk and work in the depths and just as importantly (if not more) celebrate and dance in the aftermath.

And if you have any questions about what it’s like to work with Ami please ask because I would love to have a reason to gush about her some more ❤️🌹💦🪽

It’s here! TOB 2026 Schedule! 🌹

It’s pretty wild to see alllllll the wisdom and creativity and sincerity that is coming into temple this year, all from local women who are here to feed and nourish this shared field of womanhood, community, bio-regionalism and cultural regeneration!

Thank you to every woman and 2 spirit who is bringing your medicine to this space, and to everyone who has presented and facilitated over the years. May your voices keep being lifted up and celebrated!

We have also changed things around a bit to give us an afternoon off on Friday, to sit in council with the elders and move at a slower pace.

We are continuing to learn that we gather to stir the cauldron of ceremony, inspiration, healing and restoration, and also make space for just being, resting, listening and softening.

It’s a continued honor to amplify the voices, work, prayer and wisdom of local women, and we are getting so freaking excited to gather together in this way.

There are limited tickets left for new village members so please snag yours when you can!

In service to loving ourselves, each other and this great web of love that holds and creates all.

See you soon!!!!!!!!!

This fall I'm teaching another Level 1 Internal Pelvic Attunement class in Portland ~ October 5-9.
⚜️
I've been deepening and listening and have rebuilt parts of the Level 1 class. I've been expanding my experience and depth of leadership and facilitation. Distilling, distilling. These times are wild eh? They call for our wild natures to be intact, for our good listening, compassion, and for our discernment. They call for deep embodiment.
⚜️
If you've been following my work and classes, now is a great time to come in. If you are new to this offering, welcome! I teach the sequence every year, and most students take a level of training and return the following year for the next in the sequence - giving time and space for the work to unravel what is ready to unravel, and to rebuild what is ready to rebuild. This is truly cultivation of the practitioner.
⚜️
All the details are on my website, link in bio!

A couple of changes -
✨This time around level 1 will be 5 days to allow for a day to rest in the middle of taking in and processing so much beautiful new information, time for the remembering, as this work takes us back into the wildness of being a woman.

✨I have two exceptional assistants so in this training you'll all have many hands to help.

✨This year I am offering monthly guided practice sessions, in-person in my space. This allows the work to expand with support and for y'all to have help with cases.

If you are interested in studying with me, lets start a conversation! Send me a message here or email me: ami@amiopal.com.

Save the date ❤️ I am so excited to offer a women’s frame drum workshop this winter in @ami.opal beautiful space. If you feel the call to start working with this incredible instrument or want to deepen with a drum you already have - please listen to that call, dear one.

This workshop was born out of the deep and loving relationship I have with my own frame drum. She really wanted me to create this offering 🌙

Join my email list to receive the invite later this summer. #framedrum #portlandwomen #womenwhodrum taken in Portland, Oregon by @ami.opal

DRUM WEAVING
Category: Ancestral Craft | Sacred Skill Building | Ceremony

In this small group, we bring the love of weaving and ceremony into the Temple.

Working with the sacred heart medicine of deer, maple, your hands, and ancestral wisdom, participants will create a personal and sacred drum to carry into their lives as medicine, prayer, and creative expression.

This skillshare is both practical and ceremonial, offering the opportunity to craft something deeply meaningful while connecting with the ancient wisdom of making by hand.

INVOKING PUSSY
Category: Feminine Embodiment | Erotic Sovereignty | Ritual Healing

Invoking Pussy is a ceremonial activation where we clear our individual channels while also creating a collective animal experience.

Together, we investigate the domestication story of woman, energetically explore the body from vulva to cervix to womb, and connect the gateways below and above.

This offering is an invitation into deeper embodied awareness, feminine reclamation, and the restoration of instinctual sovereignty.
