It starts early...
The message that it's never just enough to exist in our playfulness. There are strong distinctions made between work and study vs. play and rest. Why is that?
It's not true.
You're enough as you are.
You are loveable,
valuable and worthy.
You have incredible gifts the world needs. Has there been something stopping you from sharing them? What if you can embody that which you imagine to create?
Let's dive deep together.
"When a plant isn’t growing or thriving, you don’t try to fix the plant itself, instead you fix the environment around the plant. Like a plant, you do not need to be fixed, you simply need to create an environment that nurtures your growth."
- Juliet Diaz
Embodied Learning
Keep in mind that everything
you're about to read doesn't
apply to the ruling class.
I'm not here to fix you because there's nothing wrong with you. You might struggle to believe that you're perfectly flawed. But, trust me: All your so-called 'mistakes' are your magic. I'm here to remind you of your unconditional worthiness. Like others have done for me and continue to. We need community. We need mirrors. To know that yes. What we are yearning for is possible. It is just as much possible as it is impossible. Do you want to lean into the (im)possible with me?
I know...
It can feel like the world is a hopeless place sometimes with all the injustices: racism, colourism, casteism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, queerphobia, transmisogyny, transphobia, fatphobia, lookism, imperalism, capitalism, political/religious persecution, poverty, environmental destruction, genocides...
I'm not here to deny this reality.
I know it sucks and it can drain us.
However, what are we
going to do about it?
One of my favorite quotes
by Toni Cade Bambara is:
"Not all speed is movement."
As the wonderful
Toni Morrison said:
"As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think."
We know so much, yet we feel like it's never enough.
We've unlearned how to embody
what we already know deep inside.
We've mostly been taught to study from our mind because of colonial mind-body-binaries, when it actually happens with our whole body. I believe that learning is quite a different experience from an embodied sense of being enough.
I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to connect you with this sense of enoughness. I'm here to support you in naming the conditions of your environment and how they affect you, so that you stop blaming yourself for things outside your control. Wherever possible, I'm here to empower you to find, choose and create a mutually supportive environment. I'm not here to make you rich, famous and successful. Rather, I'm here to connect you with the curious and creative parts of yourself that you've been disconnected from, which leads to fulfillment beyond external metrics.
I'm here to connect social justice and creative purpose.
"Why can't the humans and the forest live together?"
from Princess Monoke
I'm critical of any
kind of imperialism,
European or otherwise;
I just find this quote
particularly beautiful:
a question that's
also an answer;
what sessions
with me are like.
