In the midst of the feminine undoubtedly rising, we find ourselves in a window of chaos.

While many old systems of exclusion and extraction are dying, we are also experiencing a resurgence of patriarchal forces, bad actors, and the looming portent of immeasurable harm to individuals.

Surely, this is no time for something as indulgent as Desire.

You already had your kids, and your partner, and your family to care for. You had a career to tend. And now you also have escalating injustice, social inflammation, and collective uncertainty all around you.

It must be a time to buckle down. It must be a time to get serious, and to rally your resources, and to make sure you're fortified in case others in your life need your support.

There isn't any time... any bandwidth... any space… in this moment of upheaval to think about what YOU want.

Or is there?

What could possibly be the point of focusing on what you desire in a time like this?

The real answer...

Because that still small voice is here FOR YOU. The quiet voice that speaks to you of things you desire and things you can imagine is the whisper of your soul's answer to what you uniquely have to contribute to this moment of collective transition. It is a direct line to your higher self and what it knows is possible for you and for the whole of life that unfolds through you. 

OK, fair, sometimes it speaks first of ice cream and beachfront vacations, but, Lovely, that is because it also knows your exhaustion. It knows the way you've been deferring pleasure in the service of duty. It wants to wake your tongue with a mango sorbet or an orgasmically rich dark chocolate cream. It wants to see you inhabiting your body in the ways that are so automatic when the waves are caressing your thighs.

Annnnd...once you are in your body and attuned to the power of pleasure, it will also have the chance to speak to you of wisdom and purpose and vision and the unique medicine that is yours to bring to salve the harshness of this transition and seed the new earth of our collective dreams.

It is true that right now so much is dying, and the world seems on fire. If it's not Palestine, it's ICE at elementary schools, or thousands of people poised to lose their jobs or disappearing support for women to make sovereign choices about our own bodies. There is no doubt that the world needs You.

But it needs Rested You. Enlivened You. Self-Authorized You. Sovereign You. A version of you that is sustainably connected to your higher self.The Real You. Because it is the gathered and awakened heart lights of real women just like you that will lead us out of the shadowy murk of this moment. 

Your Desire is connected to nothing short of saving the world.

It is connected, in fact, to the necessary ushering of the status quo to its death, so that we might conceive and gestate something more integrated, more inclusive, more regenerative than we have yet seen in this lifetime or, indeed, for several millennia.  

There is so much that is ready to be born.

But unless you can hear the heartbeat of your own desire, you cannot possibly know your role in the creation of what's next.

You can only react. You can only tread water. And doesn't that already feel exhausting?

So let's get down to the most urgent work of this moment...reconnecting you with the still small voice of your own Desire.

Now that you can feel the urgency... Now that you can see why reconnecting with your desire is actually the priority in the service of The Collective Good... won't you make time to join us in community for a 4-day exploration of Desire + Responsibility.

Now that it turns out that Desire is not just one more thing, it's THE thing, are you ready to give it the attention it deserves?

Any beautiful thing you want to create in your life… a new romance, more spark in the old romance, a new home, travel, more money, new friendships, a new business, a more vibrant and just world, more collective thriving… begins with the Desire for it revealed to yourself and accepted.

We so often get confused that Desire is the cause of suffering. That it's better just to be grateful for what we have and not want more. But this is a misunderstanding. And mostly a confusion of living in a Masculine Era–a time period where much of the prevailing "wisdom" and guidance has been based on the masculine aspect.

For The Feminine (that's the name that we give to all of the combined expressions of the feminine aspect) all good things begin with knowing your own Desire. What you crave, what you long for, what you yearn for are all whispers to you from a future version of yourself that is more self-expressed, more content, and more aligned with the gift that you are to the world.

Your greatest life is based in your Desire. Your relationship satisfaction, your vocational satisfaction, your day-to-day feeling of delight and contentment begins here. And that wellbeing is also the font from which the collective wellbeing will be served. 

You've heard people talk about serving from overflow, but you have no idea what that really means. You're just trying not to fall asleep with your hands still on your laptop most days. 

There are a thousand ways to kill Desire. Ignoring it to death is just one choice. You can also transfer it, limit it, disbelieve it, or hide it in your serving of your children's  needs, your spouse's needs, your community's needs, or the urgent demands of a world in crisis. 

There is a way home. There is the possibility of serving from the sustainable resource of your own joy, even in challenging times. 

Have you ever… 

...had no answer when someone asks you what you want?

...deferred to what other people in your group want to do, to eat, or to see?

...turned away from a dream because you couldn't see how to realize it?

...told yourself that once you get to the next major promotion, certification, independence milestone with your child, that then... maybe then... you could have time to relax, time to go to a dance class, time to work on yourself?

...felt guilty for something you know that you want?

...thought–I don't have time for that…I have a business to run? or I have a job to do? or I have a family to take care of? 

These are the everyday ways that we block desire.

And we tell ourselves that we are making the sacrifices that *must* be made so that everyone's needs can be met. But this is the great lie. 

Did you know that Responsibility is actually just response + ability. It is, literally, the ability to respond. And when you are overcome by obligation and exhaustion, you actually have very little capacity to respond. It's much more likely that you will react or contract. 

What would it change in your life to increase your capacity to respond from a resourced place? Would your vision for humanity shift to more than just a hope that you and the people in your sphere of concern make it through the day/week/year/presidential term?

You’ve probably got a lot going on. You’re making big things happen, and, everywhere you look, you’re in charge of something: a household, a partnership, kids, employees, the success of a company, maybe a company of your own, making your mark in the world as best you can.

You’re trying to keep all the balls in the air amidst making big moves. Secretly you know you’re feeling exhausted and this path is unsustainable.

You probably made an investment (or a few) in coaching programs or business support that didn’t bring everything you’d hoped it would. 

It's likely that at least once while reading this you thought… well that sounds interesting, but I really don't have the time.

We just want to remind you that the time you make for you to hear the still-soft whispers of your own Desire is the most important time you'll ever make.

This primer is designed to work with your schedule. You'll want to be engaged and involved to get the most out of it, but you don't have to be able to make it live. Each day’s session will be recorded, and the recordings will be available for the duration of the primer and for a few days after.

What if this could be the first step toward both the more nourished, more resourced life you've been hoping for and the more just, more benevolent world you want to see?

Fast forward to today, I’ve built/am building both a business and a life without force or efforting, without exhausting myself with the endless to-do’s and shoulds of my previous lives. I move from what turns me on. I grow my offerings organically, largely from the seat of my intuition.

It’s a sustainable life that I LOVE and that is deeply sourced from a place of feminine power.

I have an MA/PhD (abd) in cultural theory and an MFA in fine art. I’m also a certified life coach, an ordained intuitive, and an Orgasmic Meditation trainer. But what really qualifies me to do this work is that I’ve walked the walk in the real world. 

I bring my decades of work as an artist and educator with a refined expertise in experience and curriculum design into lovingly-crafted, intimate contexts that help you get more connected with your own innate wisdom.  It's not about being a purveyor of information.  It’s the absolute magic of creating a context for you to have your own personal and direct experience with the Principles of Creation. My invitation is always to become more of who You are.  That's what I'll be up to. I look forward to meeting you soon!
