Who are you becoming?
"I don’t care how spiritual you are. How long you can melt in the sweat lodge. How many peyote journeys that have blown your mind, or how well you can hold crow pose. Honestly. I don’t.
I don’t care what planets fall in what houses on your birth chart, how many crystals you have or how vegan your diet is.
I want to know how human you are. Can you sit at the feet of the dying despite the discomfort? Can you be with your grief, or mine, without trying to advise, fix or maintain it? want to know that you can show up at the table no matter how shiny, chakra- aligned or complete you are- or not.
Can you hold loving space for your beloved in the depths of your own healing without trying to be big?
It doesn’t flatter me how many online healing trainings you have, that you live in the desert or in a log cabin, or that you’ve mastered the art of tantra.
What turns me on is busy hands. Planting roots. That despite how tired you are, you make that phone call, you board that plane, you love your children, you feed your family.
I have no interest in how well you can ascend to 5D, astral travel or have out of body sex. I want to see how beautifully you integrate into ordinary reality with your unique magic, how you find beauty and gratitude in what’s surrounding you, and how present you can be in your relationships.
I want to know that you can show up and do the hard and holy things on this gorgeously messy Earth. I want to see that you can be sincere, grounded and compassionate as equally
as you are empowered, fiery and magnetic. I want to know that even during your achievements, you can step back and be humble enough to still be a student.
What’s beautiful and sexy and authentic is how well you can continue to celebrate others no matter how advanced you’ve become. What’s truly flattering is how much you can give despite how full you’ve made yourself. What’s honestly valuable is how fucking better of a human you can be, in a world that is high off of spiritual materialism and jumping the next escape goat for “freedom.”
At the end of the day I don’t care how brave you are. How productive, how popular, how enlightened you are. At the end of the day, I want to know that you were kind. That you were real. I want to know that you can step down from the pedestal from time to time to kiss the earth and let your hair get dirty and your feet get muddy, and join the dance with us all."

YOU ARE BEING CALLED TO RISE...
If you ever felt called to be a healer, a teacher, a salve for the people, now is your time to come forward.
If you are a word weaver or a light worker or a lender of ears, now is your time to come forward.
If you have been hiding medicine in your pockets, behind your eyes, beneath your tongue, waiting for the "right" time to share it, now is your time to come forward.
If you have been waiting for approval, for validation, for vindication before sharing your most precious gifts, now is your time to come forward.
If you are waiting for the perfect time, the perfect mentor, the perfect plan, now your time to come forward.
If you can bring laughter, comfort and warmth to the most solemn spaces, now is your time to come forward.
If you have ever been called to use your life for something greater than yourself, now is your time to come forward.
Yes, you might be terrified.
Yes, you might be unpopular.
Yes, you might disrupt the social norm.
But the world needs you.
NOW.
Come forward. Imperfect.Broken. Uncertain. Raw. Willing. Open.
Lend your gifts to the greater good. Help make the world a better place so we might all be free.
