December 22, 2020 at 09:32AMMy alma mater CIIS is hosting @adriennemareebrown in February (online, link below) Prevailing ideas around social justice activism tend to focus on “doing the work,” putting in long hours, and facing challenges head-on. Activism is rarely associated with personal joy and pleasure. But can there be a deep connection between activism and pleasure? How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? Author, Black feminist, and social justice activist adrienne maree brown has been talking, writing, and celebrating the intersection of pleasure and activism since her much-lauded 2019 book, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good. Pleasure activism is a politics of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. Drawing on the Black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism. Through connecting with our inner desires and needs—physical, mental, emotional—we can become better organizers, activists, and social justice workers. Join Sonya Shah, CIIS professor and restorative justice expert and adrienne for a powerful and joyful conversation exploring how to tap into the full spectrum of our sensual desires and emotional needs while organizing for justice. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or new to supporting social justice movements, adrienne invites you to embrace the idea that activism can feel good. Please note that this conversation will be hosted live online and includes an audience Q&A. adrienne maree brown on Pleasure Activism, A Live Online Conversation with CIIS Register ($25 suggested donation): http://bit.ly/CIIS-amb . . . #pleasureactivism #adriennemareebrown #emergentstrategy #ciis #ciispublicprograms

December 17, 2020 at 10:54AMDid you know our bones are alive, crystalline in nature and respond in amazing ways when we breathe into them? Bone breathing supercharges our blood and bone marrow. As Saturn moves into Aquarius, an air sign, for the next 2 years, and Jupiter joins in the Great Conjunction of 12/21, we will begin the Cacao Ceremony with a teaching of bone breathing. I’ve been doing this practice this week, and it’s brought a wave of delightful energy into my bones and body. Bone Breathing improves the natural capacity of immunity, allowing the nervous system to deeply relax and trust in life. Bone marrow generates immune cells, which move to the thymus to mature, ready for whatever comes your way. – Learn and experience bone breathing, which you will be able to practice in your daily movement routine. Benefits of Bone Breathing: 1. The number one practice for insomnia, stress, and calm the mind. 2. Ideal for bodies with period irregularities and pain, experiencing uncomfortable menopause. (#pmdd Power surges, etc). 3. Very easy to learn with improvement in as little as 15 minutes daily 4. Strengthens the Kidney & Water energy in your body. Water is held in the myelin sheaths, where ancestral memory and/or trauma is held 5. Increases the production of red blood cells and white blood cells This Solstice is the Great Conjunction of Jupiter + Saturn. As a plant ally of Cacao, I like to show you how to appreciate, not appropriate Cacao medicine. Let’s gather over Zoom on 12/21 for a cacao ceremony to let go what’s no longer working and set intentions for what our heart desires for the next 20-year cycle. See bio for access.

December 16, 2020 at 02:20PMWhen I’m untethered… I will return home to the Galactic Center. I will merge back into the molecular stream. Becoming resources. ✨????✨ When I’m untethered… I will lay down on the Earth, let everything become still, and Ophelia come and take my hand, guide me to the river. Let the water wash away the pain, the weight of the struggle will take me deep. ✨????✨ When I’m untethered… My body will become food for the winged ones so they can carry my spirit back to the center. Let my blood soak into the soil. Let my body return to source, resourced. ✨????✨ When I’m untethered… I’ll become the roots of the orchids. I’ll become the mycelium pushing up higher consciousness. I’ll become calcium for new corals. Eyelashes of new baby perezosos. Footpads for stealthy Jaguar, walking silently through the jungle. ✨????✨ When I’m untethered… I will catch the wind and become the scent of the rose, the hum of the bumblebee, the tremor of an earthquake. But today we live from the possibility of merging with it all. ✨????????????????????????????????????✨ Ixchel (ee-shell) here, a business + leadership strategist creating space for JEDIs to craft their daily rituals for Decolonizing Time so they can do epic shit in Flow. *JEDIs are Justice-centering, Emerging, Decolonizing, and Interconnecting for a post-hegemonic colonial patriarchal (h/t to @casey.jourdan for that brilliant linking) global network of planet-centered businesses, politics, and NGOs/non-profits.

December 05, 2020 at 09:57AMI ‘ve been dead named three times this week. The last time was from an asshole from the past. Told him to fuck of and blocked him. And yet this comes nothing close to the harm others, especially Trans and people fleeing domestic violence may face in being dead named. Say their chosen name or don’t say anything. ✨????????????????????????????????????✨ My name is Ixchel (sounds like ee-shell) and I am a business and leadership strategist holding space for JEDIs to discover their daily practice for finding gratitude in living through a zombie apocalypse so they can epic ish in Flow. These JEDIs are leading at the intersections of Justice-centering, Emerging, Decolonizing, and Interconnecting. If you’re a JEDI in need of guidance on decolonizing time, ditching extractive time, stepping into regenerative leadership, sign up for the 10 day course “Dreaming in the Wild” link in bio. #TransLivesMatter #DeadName #DecolonizeYourMind #DecolonizeTime

Today is 13 Kej in the Kiche Mayan Calendar. It’s also a Kej year.
????
Kej is connected to the four directions. It is a day of the shamans and priestesses. And it is a 13 day, so the veil between worlds is thin. Today is the day to seek insights from the Spirit world. Powerful indeed.
????
As the nawal of the majestic stag and cacao medicine, today is a day for making an offering with cacao, standing in your center and surveying your dominion. Seek guidance of the four directions and your ancestors and you will receive insights.
????
A delicious offering recipe, Cacao Pudding
????
In a mixing bowl blend with a hand blender:
2 large avocados, pit and seed removed
1/2 cup cacao powder (sugar free, not cocoa powder but will suffice if that’s all you have)
stevia to taste
1 drop copaiba oil (contains BCP cannabinoids, not psychoactive, neuro-protective, imparts wisdom, calms the nervous system)
1 drop cardamom oil (not for pregnant or nursing moms, vasodilator, warming)
1 drop cinnamon bark oil (vasodilator, enhances cacao)
1/4 teaspoon salt to taste

Chill for 1 hour ⏳

Set an offering at your altar. Light a candle. Say a prayer and ask for blessing to work with Cacao medicine. Spend time in meditation. For more exploration, download my cacao ceremonial guide (link in bio)????

Talk to the hand… The relationship between being vindicated and revenge is a narrow edge in restoring justice.
•
As I work through old patterns of victim hood, I am becoming aware of when I’ve put the evil eye on others. Forgiveness, please.
•
Rather than put energy into vindication, seeking to transmute the original wound is the ascended path, the heart of flame that protects and transforms energy into healing.
•
Walk in beauty. Live your magic.

Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.

Go home and be there for all these things.”
