June 22, 2021 at 10:22AMOne of the hardest rituals for my business has been consistently posting on my socials. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a Sag, I love spontaneity. Too much planning leaves me feeling boxed in. AND I’m a 10th house Capricorn Moon at the Midheaven. So, yeah, those rituals are also really a part of how I’ve been able to cultivate new ways of being outside of Dominator Culture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Several colleagues have been asking about some of Planoy’s features as we collectively build our feminist social media ecosystem (h/t @kellydiels for her Feminist Social Media course). I’ve been using this app since I got on IG for real in 2016. Today I was looking at a tutorial and discovered they have a desktop version. #hallelujah⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I can easily do all the things I love doing on desktop (@Canva design, writing in @Bear app, scheduling posts in @Planoly), so when I drift off-planet there’s still scheduled content coming to you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which reminds me… I need to write a post about the Galactic download I received during the Solar Eclipse… Whoa! It was a doozy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨????????????????????????????????????✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a ✨Time Witch ✨ I founded the Initiated Leaders Fellowship to help Edgewalkers decolonize and reclaim your time, so you can skip the crash and liberate Creative Flow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you subscribed to receive ????

June 19, 2021 at 09:27AMThe Wake arrives Another layer shed, like the paper-thin mesh left as Something slithers away Never looking back The Committee waits to see its life force leave Taken by a grape Such a small, innocuous thing really Not one islet could muster a rescue Switched off by a virus that silenced the world No jewelry to denote their status Just a deep hole back to the spiral void She’s just sleeping, right? Her former life left in a papery heap The Wake arrives for a little snack ✨????????????????????????????????????✨ I’m a ✨Time Witch ✨ I founded the Initiated Leaders Fellowship to help Edgewalkers decolonize and reclaim your time, so you can skip the crash and liberate creative Flow.

June 15, 2021 at 09:34PMTrevia Woods, @trevia_woods, recently shared a beautiful post about starting a new ritual after her first session with me. Here’s an excerpt… “I had the pleasure of starting a new ritual. Ixchel suggested to set up my work space and my computer tabs for whatever flow activity I wanted to do first thing in the morning. “I did just that. I was able to get off electronics easier and earlier because I set my intention for what writing I was going to focus on in the morning. ⁠ “Getting into flow of writing came quickly and I worked until I was hungry. I trusted I would get back into flow once I returned. (thx Ixchel for that tip). ⁠ “I feel refreshed and great about getting some creative deep work done before I start the long list of to-do’s for everything else in my life.” Trevia is an amazing community facilitator for We are the Culture Makers, with @kelly.diels as well as for her own community centering cultural appreciation. ???????? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨????????????????????????????????????✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a ✨Decolonial Time Witch ✨ I founded the JEDI Flow Collective to help Edgewalkers decolonize and reclaim your time, skip the crash so you can liberate creative Flow. The world’s to-do list is very long. And we are le tired.

June 10, 2021 at 08:55PMHappy pride! ???? I miss marching in SF Pride parade. Apple TV has a incredible aerial screensaver. There are two stunning videos of a flyover of the Ferry Building and Mission Street at dawn/dusk that remind me of early morning ferry rides to SF Pride. Best Ferry mates ever, second are SF Giants Ferry rides. There’ might even be a photo on one #goldengateferry of us #goldengatebridge board of directors that christened the boat back then. You might recognize me in the group. Excited to see how Pride is celebrated this year, and remembering how we got here. Love is love.

May 30, 2021 at 11:01AMThe Mayan worldview today embodies Time. Time is not an abstraction, but an entity. A person. The Mayan Calendar carries that relationship into the 20 archetypes and the 13 tones used to describe how Time is feeling on any given day. So when I heard Luis Mojica ask, “Is my body a relative or is my body a resource?” I could completely relate. Relative or resource can be applied to many areas of our decolonial life. In my work on decolonizing Time, this inquiry gets to the heart of our relationship to Time and Flow. Flow is our birthright. Flow is a state of being that enabled early humans to have focus in finding food. It’s why we are alive today. It is an incredible gift of focus and creativity that evolved into how we created “bodies of culture.” (h/t @ResmaaMenakem) And, here’s the rub… Flow has been proven by neuroscience to help people be more productive (h/t to my Flow mentor @StevenKotler). Flow has been weaponized by capitalism. Flow has become a tool of modernity and capitalism to extract productivity from humans and the planet to further “outsource entropy.” (h/t to Tyson Yunkaporta for that delicious term.) See the conundrum? When we believe what capitalism has trained into us, we treat Time as a resource not a relative. We are good little cogs in the industrial machine that consumes our future. That is, Time is being stolen (h/t Dr. Brittany Cooper). But that theft comes at the expense of our bodies, our lineage, our relations of the future. When we push ourselves for productivity’s sake, we are borrowing resources from our future body, outsourcing entropy. We are indebting ourselves. The System of Productivity knows this. It’s an institutionalized system of executive leadership, management, policies and procedures for extraction. A systemic problem. And since Flow begets creativity, creativity begets culture, and culture is a no-no in white supremacy, Flow had to be re-imagined as a tool for extractive capitalism. But we can reclaim our Time and creative Flow to dream a better world. We can liberate our Flow from that broken system. Un-leadership. Moving us toward relationship and how we’ve been initiated by the planet and Time. (Cont)
