Skepticism is healthy and helps to maintain discernment and critical thinking skills, which are important; especially when we start to explore the unseen, mystical realms of energy and spirit. Faith and trust in a healing modality, ideology, or spiritual path should be earned through practice and experience, not just given blindly. Especially not to any sort of charismatic guru person.
Personally, I have given up pedestaling teachers, mentors, coaches etc in favor of cultivating creative partnerships with colleagues whose work I feel inspired by and whose ethics and morals are aligned with mine, as you have seen in my collaborations with
for the past few years. We create, learn and grow *with* one another, dismantling toxic power dynamics and hierarchies in the process.Your skepticism is always welcome here, and I hope to be someone who facilitates experiences that might help you build faith in the immaterial, the intangible.
Asa & I are brewing some magic in the cauldron for January, so keep an eye on the schedule for another Dream Weaving: Journey to the Liminal and Reiki II training!
This month I am partnering with acupuncturist Masha Aguirre on Deep Listening, a synergy of sound bathing with ear acupressure to invite you into a space of deep listening and clarity. Before settling in for an immersive Alchemia Sound bath, vaccaria ear seeds will be applied to points in the ear by Acupuncturist Masha Aguirre, L.Ac, to support participants with a deeper emotional/energetic connection to the sense of listening. We will gather on Tuesday 11/28 7p-8:30p at 105 Wickenden Providence, RI. Reserve a spot here:
