23 Rituals for Dreaming in the Wild Download

Hola my dear friend,

Goodness the end of the Mercury Retrograde was not soon enough for my laptop. It’s slowed to a snail’s pace. My battery drop down tells me it needs servicing. Really I just need it to hold out until I swap it for a new one in California later this month.

I’m backing up everything, bookmarking and closing un-used tabs in Chrome, and trying to reduce my use, giving it (and me) rest to cool down.

Think good thoughts my trusty steed holds out for the new laptop lease. 🙏🏼

If you missed the enrollment for Wild Presence, and wanted to start this decolonial work but weren’t ready to commit to a year of working with me yet, I’ve opened up a delicious Boundless Vision retreat this weekend and next. Enrollment closes Friday. See below…

Stay wild, love fiercely. Your presence is golden.

Boundless Vision Retreat is BACK!

Experience Boundless Vision:

The Seasonal Retreat Ritual That Effective Leaders Turn To For Regeneration… So You Can Exponentially Grow Your Impact Without Destroying Yourself.

The Boundless Vision starts this Saturday October 8th. It includes a VIP Implementation Day in Telegram.

Only 5 spots available. Join us today. 

Radical Rest for Boundless Vision is a way to dust off your shine.

I love this retreat. Instead of providing it to the new Wild Presence cohort as a video series, I’ve decided to do it Live again. Hence the quick enrollment period and limited spots. It includes a private implementation day for enrollees to ensure you implement the One-year and 90 Day Plans.

This year the Radical Rest Retreat Handbook includes a powerful new section called the R.E.S.T. Recipe to support your nervous system in regenerative practices for regulation.

We’ll KonMari your senses of Time/Space/Place. One part declutter to let go of cognitive load, one part digital detox for nervous system rest, one part dopamine do over to prepare your sense for connecting in to your focus for the next 90 days. Because “on the other side of rest is Flow.”

Start with Dreaming in the Wild

Ground the (un)learning of systems of brutal productivity through relating with Time. Getting relational deprograms the “dominance over” mindset, creating space for our senses, so we actually sense what our needs are. Rest is radical resistance.

Walk Away With

  • A Shift in Relationship to Time
  • A Digital Detox to Clear Brain Fog
  • Expanding Your Capacity to Vision

Time magic for centered focus

The world’s to-do list is very long. And we are le tired. We will identify the systems and structures that are holding you back so we can Liberate your Flow with more focus and increased creativity for your most important work.

Walk Away With

  • Grounding in Systemic Oppressions
  • Flow Cycle Strategies
  • The Recipe for Presence + Passion

Boundless Vision Anumi (animated purpose)

You’ll learn how to decolonize Time by putting self and community care needs in right relationship with the Cosmos. We’ll create a plan for daily, weekly, and seasonal Rituals for dropping into Joy and Flow tailored to your life.

Walk Away With

  • A consistent, daily Flow practice
  • More capacity for these times
  • Cyclic ways to nurture body + soul

❤️ TWO SATURDAYS OF LIVE 90-MINUTE TRAININGS (OCTOBER 8TH & 15TH, 1-2:30pm PACIFIC / 4-5:30 ET • Recorded)

🧡 DECOLONIZING TIME, BOUNDLESS VISION + RADICAL REST TEACHINGS

Vandana Shiva

Soil and seed sovereignty are two global issues I track. Food security depends on these.

In Mexico, transgenic corn has been limited since 2005. But the President banned further importing or transgenic (GMO) corn and glyphosate in December of 2020.

Mexico is the birthplace of corn. Corn is life. Human’s origins are deeply linked to our relationship with corn as we are made from corn in the Popol Vuh.

Glyphosate is a known carcinogen. My political work in California included getting it included in on the Prop 65 list (which Monsanto immediately fought). Locally, I led a fight to ban the use of glyphosate in Sonoma County. You don’t want to know how much glyphosate there is in wine, including organic wine.

I met Vandana Shiva at the Heirloom Food Festival, but was a huge fan of her work long before. Her work centers on seed sovereignty. This month in Atmos Frontline is a beautiful and fierce essay from Vandana Shiva.

As you work to decolonize, consider exploring your assets to see if you hold shares in any NACs that are swallowing up land in order to control carbon sequestration as assets, further separating the people from the land.

Read the whole article. There are some beautiful passages about Interbeing and the planet. Monocultures of the mind and biodiversity of the mind and body. She is a world treasure.

Excerpt from Atmos Essay:

Just a month before the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) in Glasgow, the New York Stock Exchange and other financial institutions launched a new asset class: Natural Asset Management Companies (NACs). The stated goal of the NACs are “to preserve and restore the natural assets that ultimately underpin the ability for there to be life on Earth.”

The NACs would hold rights to ecosystem services (carbon sequestration or water, for example) on a tract of land, cultivating them with the goal of maximizing profit. Managing ecosystems to grow the most profitable commodities is how biodiverse forests and farms were turned into monocultures in the first place.

The disease is now being offered as the cure. Economic growth is merely a measure of how much was extracted from nature to convert to capital. It cannot be a solution to the ecological crises that extractivist money-making caused. The increased availability of financial resources cannot regenerate the life lost in nature through ecological destruction.

New proposals to address the ecological emergencies are neither sustainable nor just. They deny the rights of Mother Earth and of Indigenous people, farmers, fisherfolk, women, working people and the poor, the children and future generations.

“Ixchel is a gift for our time. Our work together transitioned me from a path of should-ing and burn out to tuning into my deepest call and making space for it.

The principles of flow Ixchel teaches are magical, rebellious and life changing. Their presence alone had a way of bringing me into deeper alignment with myself every time we met.

For anyone called to unhook from old systems and bring forth work from a deeper place within, Ixchel is a pioneer, an inspiration and incredible guide.

Ixchel’s work is world changing, one human being reoriented towards time…at a time. They are a powerhouse of wisdom, depth and knowledge and I felt so seen, informed and cared for in our session.

The way we’re doing things is not working and Ixchel is showing us a new way. I left our sessions feeling inspired, resourced and ready to be part of the change.”

— CARA JONES, UNTETHER YOUR VOICE




“Every session with Ixchel left my nervous system calm and peaceful in a full, embodied way. No matter what topic we were discussing, their ability to co-regulate without (apparent) effort, but just by being, filled me with ease and freedom.

Just being in a container with Ixchel is enough, THEN receiving their wisdom about Time, healing, breath, Flow, human design, and all things down-regulating is simply magic.

We completed by celebrating some shifts in my path since we’d begun, and we got to talking about integrity and purpose-as-essence in a really wholing and exciting way; even up to the last few minutes, we were making mind-expanding connections!

Thank you, Ixchel, for your energy and your beingness. So empowering (in such a parasympathetic way) to work with you.

Your Sanctuary to Cultivate Wild Presence for Thriving with a Planet in Transition

Land Lineage

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)
