Juicy, fierce, feisty…and messy. 🔥

Happy Virgo New Moon. 🌚
I’m calling it a Tantra New Moon in my newsletter today.

This moon holds a very particular Virgoan quality of inner exploration: homecoming in our body.

Tantra simply means weave. Coming home from a body perspective is weaving presence into form.

So…

What do you want to practice until your body knows it?

Pleasure? Trust? Courage? Rest? Receiving? Desire? Discernment? Creativity? Boundaries? Play? Intimacy? Spaciousness? Strength?

We can understand something intellectually for decades and then begin practicing it relationally and somatically until a different response becomes available.

That is intuition muscle.

Not intuition as some mystical voice that tries to hand us the “right” answer. Intuition as relationship. Embodied intuition. Something strengthened through attention, experimentation, discernment, mistakes, repetition, pleasure, feedback, and lived experience.

Juicy, fierce, feisty...and messy. 🔥

(How you like me with no makeup on?)

Today’s New Moon newsletter explores Tantra, desire, embodied intuition, and the gorgeous mess of being alive.

After enlightenment, be sure to dance. 💃🏽😂

Read the full newsletter via the link in bio.

Speaking of weaving presence, the lunar rhythm also inspired @orionsongcatcher and me to extend Early Bird pricing one more day for our @illuminatinghearts Fall Equinox Sound Portal — through the new moon, 9/10 at midnight CT. Let the sound take you home to your body and restore precious life force to yourself at Bancroft Street Market on September 19th. Tix at bio link too. 🎶✨

Do less. Live your full spectrum. 🌈 Swipe for the

Do less. Live your full spectrum. 🌈
Swipe for the full rainbow. 😂

We were at a wedding yesterday when the dance floor lights flashed the entire rainbow over us. As we took enough selfies to get the best one, the universe winked and said, “How about one in every color?” 😂  What a perfect reminder: we contain the whole spectrum. 🌈 Thanks, universe! Now here’s a reminder from us. 😉

Our longest sale ends tonight! 🙌🏼🙌🏽
That’s 25% off private sessions!  No code needed. Ends midnight CT.

Do less, you say?

Oooo! Self-care, yay! 🥳

Hey, wait... 🤔

What happens in all that space? 🤯
Why do I feel so much??!!! 😩

Doing less leaves room for being. (Woot!)
But being means FEELING the full spectrum. 🌈

Because the not fun thoughts and fears we avoided or numbed out? They often rush in when we finally make space.
 You’re not crazy. It’s physics.
(Nature surely dislikes a vacuum)

What makes our healing and transformation work unusual is that we understand the physics.  
The vacuum is real, yo. 😘 The fear that flies into the space we make, that’s (temporarily) real too. 🥹

We teach and hold space for you to meet yourself with compassion in the gap, inside the mess. We help you build circuits for contradiction and paradox. We hand out permission slips that the mess is okay.  So if you’ve been thinking about diving inward with us, today’s a beautiful day to take the trust fall. 🌊

Take advantage of our longest sale ending tonight, 9/7.
Grab Early Bird ticket for Fall Equinox Sound Portal by 9/9.

Congratulations to my second Heartifact Certified

Congratulations to my second Heartifact Certified practitioner, Lisa Ferguson! 💎✨

This celebration has arrived in heart time. Although Lisa formally completed Heartifact Certification in December, something interesting happened after she received this special piece of paper: We kept going. Then divine flow revealed even more treasure. 💎✨

After a year studying, practicing, experimenting, healing, and integrating my Heartifact Ecosystem, I’m so glad Lisa followed the pull to go deeper. She entered another 6-month apprenticeship with me, which we completed last week. 🥳

Heartifact Certification began as a 1-year program. After 3 years of beta testing and apprenticing with real humans in real lives, it’s now a 2-year journey. Learning the work is powerful. Living the work is how the next level rises from within us. Both take time.

When Lisa first came to me, she wanted to express more through her life and calling, but she didn’t know what that looked like. She doesn’t need to. She knows now that the path reveals itself as she walks it.

I’ve watched her move from Nebraska to Florida, evolve relationships, find new depths of passion, retire from banking, and live into abundance. I’ve watched her bravely follow her own authority like never before.

I adore the way Lisa shows up for this work. My favorite thing is her willingness to let everything she knows become something she lives. She is curious, courageous, devoted, and willing to experiment with her own becoming. She asks innovative questions. She goes deep. She laughs. She lets herself change. And then she comes back ready to discover what else is possible. It is an absolute joy to apprentice with her.

Lisa, what a privilege it has been to witness your emergence. 🌸🎉

Heartifact Certification is a two-year apprenticeship that weaves consciousness, energy intelligence, emotional intelligence, and vision into how you live, work, and lead. I’m opening 2 spaces for the next apprentices who feel called to this work. In today’s rapidly evolving world, Heartifact Certification offers a transformative path for professionals ready to rise.

If something in you just lit up, reach out. 💎✨
