In this episode of Cracks in the Cement, I have the privilege of talking to jen of wild root revival (certified in Embodied Sex Coaching, Sexological Bodywork, and Psychedelic Integration Coaching-- so fricking cool) about gender, queerness, embodied consent, and some ways to attend to ourselves after consent-ruptures. And consent not just in sexual encounters, but in how we navigate all relationships with other humans. (YouTube version found here.)

The smoke and mirrors of the United States occupation is gone for many of us who were not able to see it (mostly white folks). As we work through the nausea, sadness, hopelessness, anger, etc., let's use this awareness to take responsibility for the collective karma of being part of an occupation, and to really embody collective liberation.

It was brought to my attention that I have been using the word “woo" because I feel nervous my spiritual practices will scare some people off. I was unaware of how discounting and diminishing that is to the healers and healing that are/is so needed. And when it comes down to it, we can't make everyone happy, so we need to be honest about who we are. ~*~

White supremacy is a violent pattern of being-- both seen and unseen-- that demands us to pattern ourselves to fit in with it (or it will spit us out). This has created a wounded culture that needs healing (we must to do more than tear it down). I went to the desert to ask Gaia "What is the pattern of being that heals?" And [~She~] answered... Listen to hear [~Her~] response.
