Join me for a spacious sound bath at @the.wuum on Wednesday, April 8th at 7:30pm.

We’ll open with journal prompts and a short meditation, then relax into an intuitive sonic journey with crystal bowls, Koshi chimes, a hand-built barbiton lyre, a frame drum, and more. Complimentary tea will be available before and after.

Venus in Taurus, a transit that began March 30th and will last until April 23rd, invites us to move slowly and luxuriously,. This is a potent time to slow down and reconnect with our senses. While Venus is in Taurus, we have an extra boost of help in the process of re-regulating ourselves. Whatever we have been moving too fast to notice will finally have space to clarify this month, as long as we choose to move through this period with intention.

I’m excited to help cultivate space to slow down, return to ourselves, and feel into the present moment together. Whether you’re arriving feeling heavy, depleted, overstimulated, or just in need of a reset, you are welcome exactly as you are. 💞

📍 671 N Berendo St, LA. Entrance in the alleyway just south of Melrose. 🎟 Link in bio.

Bring a journal, pen, yoga mat, and water bottle. Blankets and pillows encouraged.

Samhain

—
When the light around lessens
And your thoughts darken until
Your body feels fear turn
Cold as a stone inside,

When you find yourself bereft
Of any belief in yourself
And all you unknowingly
Leaned on has fallen,

When one voice commands
Your whole heart,
And it is raven dark,

Steady yourself and see
That it is your own thinking
That darkens your world.

Search and you will find
A diamond-thought of light,

Know that you are not alone,
And that this darkness has purpose;
Gradually it will school your eyes,
To find the one gift your life requires
Hidden within this night-corner.

Invoke the learning
Of every suffering
You have suffered.

Close your eyes.
Gather all the kindling
About your heart
To create one spark
That is all you need
To nourish the flame
That will cleanse the dark
Of its weight of festered fear.

A new confidence will come alive
To urge you towards higher ground
Where your imagination
will learn to engage difficulty
As its most rewarding threshold
- Blessing for Courage by John O’Donohue

been focusing on healing my inner child 💖

in the past five years i’ve gotten closer to the vision of myself that i barely dared to dream of when i was younger. i’ve always been ambitious, but navigating loss and trauma at integral moments of my development led to a general sense that life could always change in an instant, irrevocably. i’ve learned to allow the future to unfurl in front of me, a winding and curious path that contains much more than i can be aware of in the moment.

of course the fear remains. even when surrounded by the most supportive community i’ve ever experienced (aka the world created by @freefromdotorg at the survivor wealth summit this august), imposter syndrome continued to take up space in my consciousness. i’m accepting where i am on my path, knowing that all the tools i’ve gained throughout my life will be there when i need them.

this year has held so much grief ~ from the obstacles of the crumbling paradigms around us, to interpersonal relationships and communication challenges, we’re all dealing with something that is forcing us to grow. i’m inviting u to join me in checking in with our inner children, and doing our best to act in the service of their full and unabashed fulfillment. we all deserve better and i’m here fighting alongside you.

PS these photos were co-created with @joynewell during their last 𝕗𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 studio day 🌀 and they’re currently running a sale for the last two spots in their next one on september 27!! highly recommend signing up if it’s calling to u ✨

One year married to my perfect person, five years together (we got married on our anniversary) 🖤

Finally sharing some wedding photos (& I’m using all 20 slides, sue me) We were so lucky to have @joynewell there to make these photographs.

Very excited to be back at this year’s @printedmatter_artbookfairs at the place where this project (The Fulcrum Press) started @artcenteredu while @joshschaedel was finishing up school there. So we are beyond thrilled to bring you a little something old and a little something new that brings the time from when @rkrk_design started the press with @joshschaedel and now with @wyattnaokiconlon

So we hope to see you there. A20!

@joynewell captured my playfulness and personality better than I could have imagined. I love that, even as a photographer, I don’t feel uncomfortable being in front of the camera. I’ve learn to welcome it as a friend who truly sees me. Even the parts of me I’m not always fond of. Joy especially has a way of enhancing the most unique parts of myself and I’m so grateful for that. After all, this is the only body I get inhabit in this lifetime, may as well have some fun.
