To find your pleasure, flirt with it. Take it on a date. Ask it questions. Be with it, even if it is a total stranger to you right now. You can start here, with these journal prompts and this guided pleasure initiation ritual!!

Let’s talk about the power of ritual, baby. Ritual does not have to be spiritual - it is simply intentional time to drop in and connect deeply. Ritual helps us be present in our bodies to actually feel things, to actually be in the moment, and to meet what comes up with presence.

When you enter this state or ritual or trance, you become totally surrendered to sensation. It is liberating, it is freeing, and it is so deeply healing.

When I say every version of you is sacred - I mean it. Even the messy, broken hearted, bitter bitch. Ahhhh yes, I’ve known her well. Unmonitored, she’s nasty, condescending, and on a total ego power trip. But every part of you has a shadow side and a shiny side.

You are about to do one of my most favorite rituals ever. As someone who has experienced a lot of anxiety in my life, this practice always brings me back down and helps me connect with something bigger than myself.

I talk a lot about how to nurture and care for yourself, and how to show up in the world with strength. Now, we are being called to put our practices to use. To stand up, show up, and speak out. And it can be difficult to know where to start. In this newsletter, you will find resources on how to dismantle racism and white supremacy in held, contained spaces, run by BIPOC. I also attached a sex magic ritual by me to nourish your nervous system and resource from pleasure and the Earth to continue to do this work.

As we enter a time of doing deep shadow work, anti-racism and anti white-supremacy work, and truly face how we contribute to it, you can use this ritual to help nourish and ground yourself.
