Spirituality as Guerrilla Resistance
There are times for gentle spirituality and there are times for wild & renegade disruptions of consciousness…
Take a wild fucking guess which one we’re in now.
Well, it certainly was a shit-show of a couple of weeks, wasn’t it? Even if you haven’t been hooked on the headlines like so many of us (proud of you, by the way) the individual waters seem to have been just as chaotic as of late.
I was in Europe gorging on delicious, chemical-free food and feeling the edges of influence that the U.S holds while also reminding my body and mind that this world is very, very big. When I travel I can literally feel the different fields of consciousness from the international bodies I share the air with for a few days. It was wild to be in those waters while also fielding communications from the bodies that were in the United States.
It is all a lot, I know. Our bodies are flooded and confused, our minds are being stretched while also being imprisoned. Our hearts may feel bereft. Our spirits might feel torn between worlds and possibilities.
There are times for gentle, peaceful movement and there are times for holy & wild disruption. I think we are in the latter.
Your consciousness cannot be colonized without your consent, and the tools of liberation are invisible and available all the time. Here is the thing, though- we have to do the fucking work. And I mean the all-the-way-down-deep work. The invisible, yucky, I-don’t-want-to-look-at-that-shit-please-just-let-me-meditate-a-little-harder-while-I-secretly-suck-on-my-anxiety-pacifier work.
If you think spiritual revolution and consciousness liberation is a nice, candle-lit room with psychedelic binaural beats playing while you repeat some holistic catch-phrases ad nausem you can stop reading now and unsubscribe from this mailing list… I’m not your girl.
I can always tell when someone hasn’t had their really big “FUCK I AM BEING TURNED INSIDE OUT” spiritual reckoning yet because they come at me with a lot of “knowing”.
Believe me- when the Moby Dick of your death & rebirth comes for you, you’ll never, ever, ever assume you know ANYTHING ever again. It is so liberating.
I work with a teacher who says that the path of the spiritual seeker and the path of the social justice warrior are two very distinct and important roles in society, but it is hard to walk both simultaneously. It became clear to me a few years ago that I had to choose, and I chose spiritual seeker (I prefer Consciousness Artist) because I truly believe that shifting the consciousness underneath a society, civilization, and globe is akin to repairing and nourishing the deepest taproot of a mighty tree. If legislation is the tourniquet, consciousness is the time-machine that removes the invention of guns before a bullet wound can ever appear.
Spirituality is guerrilla resistance, in my paradigm. Working our consciousness is the shift from “trying to be good” into alchemizing life-every fucking bit of it- toward unprecedented creative force. Genius-zone stuff, at both individual and collective levels.
I don’t need to be good anymore. I am real, and I have an alive and evolving intention and focus for what I am moved to create in this life.
For example, are you obsessively reading the latest psychotic headlines because you think that is what you need to do to be “good”? Or do you read them to digest them into a new action and intention of showing up and contributing?
Do you meditate so that you can tell yourself you are a good, very spiritual person? Or do you do it because on the other side you have a different brain that can process possibility different throughout your day?
Do you practice or study energy work, sound healing, yoga, or any other alternative practice because its an identity construct that gave you a sense of safety and control at some precarious point in your life? Or do you TRULY want to be transformed by it, guts and all?
Why are you still trying so hard to be good when it was the Oppressor that told you you weren’t in the first place?
We are very far outside of and beyond the realms of “good”. The binaries and boxes we were taught will not carry us where we are going next. There is a genius in every single one of us that has been meticulously colonized into factory-organized submission.
A tiny flame in a dark cave. But some of us remember, gather around it to keep it safe, and are stoking it invisibly in the quiets of our bodies, our minds, and our limitless Souls.
The revolution will be in the psyche and the soma… and it will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
Radical Healers 2025 begins in 6 weeks and this year’s program is seeding something potent and powerful… it was shown to me in a vision back in 2019. There are three focus tracks depending on where you want to target your liberation: in the body (The Gateway) in the mind (The Emergence) or in your quantum, alchemical capacities (Integrative Energy Mapping).
To level with you: this space is priced at about a third of what most programs like it go for because it is meant to serve a diverse cohort of people. AND- I know resources feel scary for many people right now. If you’ve been eying this program but finances are your only barrier will you email me? Lets chat… no judgement, no promises, but I want to be present & honest with the times.
For 1:1 sessions I’ve refined these offerings to pack in as much transformation and value as possible, so show up ready to rock and roll. Less talking, more getting the deep pieces moving so that you can open up big potential in short amounts of time. Don’t sleep on the Email/Remote session option if finances feel tight… you get an audio recording of session notes, while skipping zoom and taking a nap or bath. They are as effective (honestly-sometimes more) as Zoom appointments.
Some Questions to Harness Available Chaos Toward Creative Potential:
Where am I avoiding the gnarly bits of life and self? Hint: it’s probably where you incessantly feel the need to say “I’m fine! This is fine!”
What am I scared I will discover underneath by very assured “knowing”?
What are my organizing principles when nothing feels certain? Are they organizing me toward a known past or an uncertain future?
To the revolution,
