We came here to play.
To play with ourselves, with each other, with the dirt.
We have forgotten.
We have become disconnected.
Put your phone down. Be in your body. Hug someone. Put your feet in the grass or the snow or the sand.
Our World literally depends on our ability to reconnect.
Iโm with you. Xoxo k ๐ค

For real though when was it? To create connection you need to be active in your commitment. Get those shoes off and get in nature. Disconnect is happening all around us, to each other to the earth and it is showing in the state of the world right now. People in business suits, in concrete jungles making decisions that are causing death and destruction across the Earth and why? To extract resources from Mother Nature for capital. To connect back to the Earth is rebellion and resistance. We need to recharge to fight the fight. How do you know what to fight for if you do not know what you are fighting for. Be the resistance. Connect to self, connect to each other, connect to community and connect to Mother Earth. Not in a bypassing way where ignorance is bliss, but in a way to hold each other and keep going. This system we are living under is build to extract, fight it. To stop and realign is rebellion. Learn to listen to self and community through the good and the hard. Learn to support each other like the earth does us as humans. We canโt fight the systems alone.
My thoughts are with anyone experiencing first hand the savage that is colonialism and patriarchy. It needs to go. How will we manage that?

If nothing else, remember to love the land.
She is our source of energy, of everything. She feeds us, waters us, houses us. Without her, we would be nothing. Without her, we would simply not be.
Build your sense of self, your communities, your values, around your connection to the earth. To the electric impulses felt between ourselves and trees, our breath and atmosphere, our tears and oceans, our passions and volcanoes.
There is nothing more real than the experience of being within your own body. Of moving it, through and along the earth's surface, taking from and (hopefully) giving back to it. No sensation is superior than that of knowing you are one with the very thing which gives us life - our food, our water, our sun, our soil.
Our. Our. Our. Just as we all belong to it, it is also in all of our possessions. Each of us have an impact, every day - the steps we make to create paths. The waste we make to be landfilled. The space we take to be lived in. Just as we are hers, so she is ours.
All of us. There is no greater difference between us than the choices we make. We can choose to love, or hate. We can choose to destroy, or cultivate. We can choose to build together, or tear one another apart.
Those are the reflections I take away not from the quick DC visit, but from everything that that visit entails - from what our nation's capitol symbolizes, to the litter that all cities seem wrought with, to the paperwork I went to DC to renew so that I may travel "freely" across borders to my native home... and so on.
Thanks for reading ๐๐ค

Connection is a radical act in a world that wants to distract and numb us.
So come and get into nature with a community that is remembering our inherent right to belong. ๐
We werenโt meant to live this disconnected.
From the earth.
From our bodies.
From ourselves.
Somewhere along the way, we sped everything upโฆ and started feeling it.
Burnout. Numbness. Always โon.โ
Forgetting how to just be.
But the truth?
What we need is already here.
What we put into our bodiesโฆ
What we consumeโฆ
How we connect with the earth beneath usโฆ
It all impacts how we feel, think, and show up.
This night is about coming back to that.
๐ฟ Join us for Unfiltered AF this April
A real conversation around soil, soul, and self and how reconnecting to nature can actually reset you.
No fluff. No fixing. Just space to breathe, learn, and reconnect.

There was a time we didn't have to remind ourselves to go outside.
Our bodies just knew
Bare feet on the ground, sun on the skin Somewhere along the way, life got louder. Screens replaced silence, noise replaced instinct. And slowly we stopped responding to what the body was asking for. Until nature became something distant. Something we pass by instead of move through. Something we're but no longer feel. And without noticing, many have been pulled further away from what regulates them. This is not a lack of discipline, it's a disconnection. And it can be restored if we start paying attention again.

For generations we were told to play it small. To contain the wildness of being a woman. We were asked to be quieter, โmore containedโ, to fit in a mold too shallow for our depth. ๐๏ธ
But how do you contain the wind, how do you tame the tides?
Throughout history, women have always embodied strength, found a way to rise, rooted in the fire of their own spirit. Rooted in the profound wisdom they carry.
Oh the joy to be daughter of the earth, to claim the wildness and free spirit.
Tag a women who inspires you every single day. smashing the patriarchal norms by just being themselves ๐ช ๐ฅ

Intimacy begins within.
The more deeply we learn to love and meet ourselves, the more naturally love flows into every relationship in our lives.
Weโre grateful to be hosting this retreat for the second year. Join us April 24โ26 at Just Love Forest for a weekend devoted to intimacy, connection, and the courage to open our hearts.
When we meet ourselves with honesty and compassion, something beautiful begins to unfold. The walls soften. The heart opens. And our capacity to love others grows naturally.
This retreat is an invitation to explore that journey together.
Through guided practices, meaningful conversation, time in nature, and the support of a safe and supportive community, weโll explore what it means to love ourselves more deeply so we can love everyone and everything around us more fully.
Weโll walk the forest paths, sit together in circle, share our stories, and remember that none of us are alone on this path.
If your heart is longing for deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with the living world, we would love to welcome you.

A "No" is a boundary, a "Yes" is a gift. Today we reclaimed both.
โMost of the time when I speak with women about sexuality and pleasure, it is tied to a partner, a husband, a boyfriend, a man. It is rarely about the intimacy or eroticism we hold with ourselves.
โI was one of the women.
โFor a long time, my sexuality wasn't truly mine. But the moment I began the reclamation of my own body and my own pleasure, everything shifted. It didn't just change how I experienced myself, it changed how I related to the world.
โWhen I reclaimed my body, I reclaimed my boundaries. By finding my clear "Yes" and my firm "No," I actually created a healthier, more truthful, and more intimate relationship with my husband.
โThis act of self-love became the starting point of my journey into studying Sexuality, Love, and Relationships. It is a passion I am finally ready to share beyond my inner circle.

There is a quiet movement happening and no one is really talking about it
people are returning to nature
wanting slower mornings, fresh air, bare feet on the earth & a life that just feels more aligned
less rushing around trying to keep up with everything
more time outside, in the garden, more time with family & just more bloody breathing space
and honestly it seems people are just tired of the bullshit
tired of the chaos happening out there
tired of being pulled into systems that run on fear all the time
something in them is choosing differently
you might not hear people talking about it much, but I see it everywhere
people feeling something shift inside themselves
maybe a remembrance that we are nature too
from the same patterns, the same intelligence, the same life
so of course we feel better when we are in it
things slow down, our nervous system settles & we come back into balance
honestly, it just feels like the way we were always meant to live
do you feel it too?
