pssst… sister… the universe is hiring
So I pray. It is my job. For real. Everything that we explore in the Yogini circles, everything you read here, everything, arises from prayer. But what about self empowerment? What about taking charge of our lives? What about looking for the answer from our own wisdom? What about all the ways women have given [Read More...]
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
Candles burning, Tibetan incense whispers secrets in the early morning. I am re-emerging slowly up to the surface after almost 21 days of Sadhana, of Spiritual Cleanse. Daily I claim my seat among the outrageously devoted Yoginis. Prayers and howls are the soundtrack of my days, the inner channels humming with sparkly fresh winds, the [Read More...]
Talking Through the Door
You say who is at the door? I say your slave. You say what do you want? To see you and bow. How long will you wait? Until you call. How long will you cook? Until the resurrection.
On Spanda and Bird Wings
Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. if it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, The two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birdwings. ~ Rumi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join us for a 21 day Spiritual Cleanse surrendering into [Read More...]
All is unmasked. All is welcome
I danced the whole night through, alone on the empty floor I was dancing for you. When you came I became real. I was real at last.
Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it

let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world [Read More...]
Paradox of Noise
It is a paradox that we encounter so much internal noise when we first try to sit in silence. It is a paradox that experiencing pain releases pain. It is a paradox that keeping still can lead us so fully into life and being. Our minds do not like paradoxes. We want things To be clear, [Read More...]
I belong in this circle
This I know: I belong in the circle of Yoginis. I have always been here. This circle is my teacher, satguru, it is my home, it is my sisters, it is my mother. It is myself. The Yogini lineage goes way back for thousands of years, and the practices we explore in the Awakening Women [Read More...]
Sometimes it takes darkness
When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your womb tonight. [Read More...]
I surrender
How tender it is, the place in us that yearn to trust. In all of us there is an innocence core untouched by cynicism and defense strategies. From here we meet life, wide-eyed in wonder of it all. Here we know how simple it is to love. But many, after years of disappointment and betrayals, [Read More...]

it is possible to become so one with Earth that every flower perfumes the soul, every snowflake sends icy softness dancing through veins, every drop of rain trickles down vessels of the heart, every cloud in the sky sails along songlines of the spirit, every earthquake rumbles in the gut, every tide of the sea [Read More...]
I declare myself now for joy
Winter solstice is a time for reviewing. To soberly look into areas of in-completion, areas that are unresolved, it is a time for bringing those dusty parts into awareness, into light. It is a time for clearing out and creating space. Wide open clear space. For the new. After a powerful ritual in our Women’s [Read More...]

UPON BODILY PLEASURE OPENING INTO SOME HUGE SPIRITUAL HAPPENING
Poem By Blake Steel What is this innocent, mysterious sensation that permeates every cell of our body when we dare to stretch as fully open, as vulnerably open as we can? What is this God designed drug that makes our insides a paradise of soft pleasures, that makes our bodies move to some music of [Read More...]

I AM AN EMOTIONAL CREATURE
Image by Bibbi Friman Poem by Eve Ensler I love being a girl. I can feel what you’re feeling as you’re feeling it inside the feeling before. I am an emotional creature.
