Backwards and Forwards at Once: Death & Rebirth in 2018
Thank you. Can I go home now? If I could just get out of this dense little meat suit, and uh, let’s see…the slipstream of subtle currents could take me back, the cosmic drain is never far you see, hmmm..oh yeah, it’s right over there, just unzip the zipper, pour what’s left of me down […]
Poem for my Ancestors: Zearing Iowa
I’d be mistaken to think that re-aligning my spine were as easy as standing up straight. As if depression were cured by medication, and not dancing. As if the future existed separately from the past. As if coins had only one side. I examined the soles of my shoes, pair after pair, year after year, […]
I am the Double Headed Serpent.
I am the Double Headed Serpent. My name is your birth and your death. I am the cervix you arrived through and the tunnel of white light through which you’ll leave. I am the mouth that suckles breastmilk, and the anus that fertilizes the soil. My one face is your sex, and the other is […]
On Visiting Auschwitz
back to all When I first began sharing with friends about our summer travel plans I would mention our intention to tour Auschwitz, the site of one of the darkest series of crimes ever committed against humanity. Although some people were noticeably moved to hear this, I was more often met with furrowed brows and […]
On group intimacy and dissolving into love
This is a LONG post. It’s how it came. I trust that those inspired to read it will be the perfect ones to receive it. It’s a reflection on group intimacy and dissolving into love, untangling tensions from my evangelical past, and a healthy dose of I love you. I wrote this here in Bali, […]
Blueprint of a Tantric Healing Session
I’ve offered tantric healing sessions for nearly ten years now. Every session is different, but a basic pattern usually emerges. It often goes something like this: We relax. Big time. We get our energy flowing. How? Breath, sound, and movement. We go to where it hurts. Nearly everyone comes in because they are in some kind of […]
On Freedom + Becoming a Wife
In the weeks since my recent wedding, I am delightfully discovering this delicious sense of freedom spiraling up from within. Wide swaths of my energy are returning home to me. Aspects of myself that had been unconsciously tied up in some kind of relentless pursuit “out there” (perhaps trying to get love, approval, validation, and […]
The Red Tent showed up on the 13th Floor of the Sheraton in Abu Dhabi
So here I sit, propped up in my bed on the 13th floor of our hotel in downtown Abu Dhabi, in a kind of jet-lagged fever dream, bleeding and seething with emotion while simultaneously feeling bottled up and hidden. It’s 7:45pm local time, and it must be some kind of morning hour on the West […]
What is “the feminine” anyway?
She’s not a woman, not a girly way of being, not pink, not lipstick, not strippers, not belly dancers, not ballerinas. She’s not a bunch of Burning Man tribal “goddesses” wearing leather and feathers (although they’re lovely and probably open to Her). When speaking of “the feminine,” I am not speaking of anything that is not […]
