Dragon Letters #11
Capricorn Moon Edition
October 12, 2021
Hola my dear ,
In this Dragon Letter below we’re exploring Fractals and Pattern Recognition and the Decolonizing of the Psyche (h/t Amber McZeal).
(Each Time I share the most popular of the links. Last Time The 5 Stages of Decolonizing (PDF) was the most popular resource I shared.)
If you missed the details, you’ll find those and many other great resources if you search your inbox and put me in your safe list. Star✨ me, add to Primary Inbox etc.
Walk in beauty. Live your magic. Go wild.

Stellar Strategy Sessions
These 90-minute, 1+1 sessions, are a mix of coaching and strategy for Cultivating Daily Flow Rituals and Reclaiming your Time
For Edgewalkers. Changemakers. Entrepreneurs. Leaders. Healers. Coaches. Artists. Activists.
Let’s bring your emergent, innovative, JEDI ways of leading into the world…
without burnout or losing momentum.
What if you have more Time to…
Write the book for these Times…
(because inner focus and outer alignment is a powerful combo)
Attune to your initiated path…
(get to the heart of your purpose and vision)
Accelerate your momentum…
(because clarity + focus = potent action)
Get clear on what Flow is for you
(learn the rhythms of the Cosmos emerging in you)
Nurture your body and soul…
(instead of Doing It All at the expense of body and soul)
Build a daily practice to tend to your capacity for this Time…
(because Earth needs you)
Imagine just how much easier life becomes when the rhythm of the Cosmos is initiating through you…
Each session is $250 (normally $385) and during our time together
we’ll deep dive into one concern/question.
You’re the driver of the session.
Here some topics that might call to you:
☉ Practices for how to get unstuck
☉ Getting clear on what Flow is for you
☉ Determining if your purpose and work are Postactivist
☉ Establishing a joyful daily practice of decolonizing/anti-racism
☉ Shifting your relationship with Time
☉ Deepening your senses and pattern recognition
☉ Learning how to slow down
☉ Surfing your biorhythms
☉ Tuning your relationship with food and plants
☉ A Personal Rest Revolt
(Declutter, Digital Detox, Dopamine Do-Over, Do Diddly)
☉ Exploring Collective Care for your team or group
so you can dismantle systems of brutal productivity
☉ Get my insight on something that’s going on in your business
The above are just some examples of topics that we could explore during your Stellar Strategy Session, but ultimately it’s your adventure to choose. It’s your Time and about what you want to focus on. I come to our session prepared and ready to offer ways to build momentum.
Session Dates are from October 22 — November 13th.
Only 15 spots available. 2 per day. Once they are booked the booking calendar will redirect to a waitlist.
A recap of what’s included in your Stellar Strategy Session:
☉ 90-minute 1+1 with me to get strategy and coaching on one topic of your choosing
☉ Recording of the session
☉ Transcript of the session
☉ Decolonizing Time Mini-Course (prerequisite)

I’m excited to learn more about those who say yes to these sessions and be a facilitator of centering Flow and Reclaiming your Time.

Fractals + Pattern Literacy
Pattern literacy is such a deep piece in reconnecting and listening to our world around us. Fractals embody that patterning so beautifully. This article shows types of natural fractal patterns.
I wanted to find a flower with the feel of the Fibonacci sequence. Of course, the first one I found was in this lovely blog about Montessori. I went to Montessori in kindergarten. Later in life, I discovered the framework was very helpful for activating Flow.
The centering of pattern literacy is a deep part of that.
I hope as you continue to do your Flow Time rituals each day you will start to read your patterns in Time. It takes some rinse and repeat before they start emerging.
Our nervous system has a deep sense of pattern recognition and specifically fractal patterns of nature. Fractals have a complexity range from 1 to 5.
Nature is typically resonating with a 2 to 3 in complexity. When we see patterns at that frequency it is familiar and comforting to the nervous system (especially heart-rate variability).
Frequencies above or below those in nature cue our nervous system to pay greater attention (arousal). This is why I encourage letting Nature help us co-regulate with our environment.
Lowering unnecessary arousal is also a piece of why the decluttering our spaces can be very helpful to reducing stimuli and cognitive load in our spaces. The #RestRevolt includes a ritual for decluttering and it’s included when you book your Stellar Strategy Session this week.
Book Recommendation
I recently took a Decolonizing Somatics Course from Amber McZeal. In the reading list was an incredible find, Culture and the Senses: Bodily Ways of Knowing in an African Community.
As we connect to Nature to awaken our senses, you might find it curious to know that senses vary by culture. We learn how to sense the world through our parents and elders when we are young. This ethnographic study explores the southeastern Ghana Anlo-Ewe-speaking people’s sense of balance as being a deeply important sense in their culture (the cover depicts some of that way of being).
This book connected several dots for me around recentering my Indigenous ways of knowing and being and the problems inherent in western psychology that lack the full range of sensing that neuroemergents, like me, experience.

Your Sanctuary to Cultivate Wild Presence for Thriving with a Planet in Transition
I was raised and bore children on the traditional, unceded, and stolen lands of the Coast and Central Valley Miwok (colonized as Petaluma, CA) and Nisenan (colonized as Sacramento and Fair Oaks, CA), past, present, and future. I also write, work, and live in the highland forest of the traditional, unceded and stolen lands of the Totonac, Nahua, and Mexicah, past, present, and future, in what is known as Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico.
P.P.S. I do not live or consent to the colonial impositions regarding the construct of Time. I also practice honoring rhythms of work, play, and rest so that I can serve you with embodied presence and with loving care. This means I may take several days to respond to your requests and questions. (h/t Eva Glamaris)
P.P.S. A mention is not necessarily an endorsement of someone. It’s an acknowledgment, a citation, of the origin of information in my process of understanding. (h/t Kelly Diels)
