Hola my dear friend,
I want to welcome the 100+ new neuro-spicy friends that enjoyed my presentation at the Neuro-Diverse Entrepreneurs Summit. So glad you enjoyed my share. I’d love to know what’s shifted for you in your relationship with Time.
Missed it? Here’s the updated Decolonizing Time mini-course.
Do you have lunations that are more difficult than others? I definitely prefer some moon cycles over others. Scorpio season has been one such place of resistance for me.
Not to seek sympathy, but as an example of how planets mirror their relationships in our lives in a holographic way, I will share some of the challenges so far.
In preparation for my big trip to California to apply for Mexican Residency, I welcomed 4 new clients, placed all my paperwork on my mesa (table in Spanish, meaning alter), conversed with my ancestors, guides, Light-body and planets, heeded the warning to book my appointment myself and won the Consulate appointment lottery.
But as Scorpio season approached, wyrd shit started happening. My partner discovered massive water damage in our storage space in California and didn’t get their appointment with the Consulate. The damaged items were all my valuable belongings (basically $10,000 in assets) and a significant archive of my political activities.
And when the eclipse season began, my Apple business lease order fell apart, everything arrived a day late and had to be returned as I was on a plane by then.
A note on assets… I don’t own stocks, bonds, or land. I am actively dismantling wealth. I choose years ago to invest in physical items that increase in value over time rather than perpetuate the outsourcing of Time through corporate greed. As someone that wasn’t born with generational wealth, this water event sucked.
But there was comfort that I wasn’t alone in this. Amidst some of the new places that had popped up since my last visit to California, there was so much emptiness and desolation. Reminders that the U.S. is in a slow decay of being an empire.
I was so grateful to see friends, new and old, family, new and old. Eating with my people soothed a three-year lonely ache. Words cannot describe the satiation I feel.
During the trip my partner lost an absent parent, and I had to share the news to them over the phone rather than in person with hugs, tragically ironic for a nearly 30-year relationship.
And this week I was on the receiving end of a death notice when my long-time friend called to break the news that our mutual friend un-alived himself. This is the fourth man I’ve known in the last 14 years to opt-out. I’m heart-broken.
One of those men unleashed a firestorm in me in 2014 that helped shift policy at the Golden Gate Bridge. I was able to see the results of that in the suicide net being attached to the Golden Gate Bridge as I crossed it. π
Sometimes the changes we make can seem to take forever before the impact is felt. Keep at it.
Physically I feel solid, like a strong reed swaying in a storm. The Mars square Neptune is sitting in a square to my natal Mars at 24 Pisces, giving me the stamina to be with all these endings and beginnings.
Where I’ve struggled is with brain fog and remembering. It feels like a dense forest, thick with vines and slushy snow up to my knees. My sense of Time has phase-shifted and feels like I’m in a parallel dimension again.
Part of it may have been from staying in four different places during my trip. And I kept forgetting to take my thyroid hormone replacement.
By the time I landed in Mexico City and made it to Frida Kahlo’s home and museum, I discovered the only way to visit the home is via online tickets which were sold out. Definitely need to get the tickets first next time.
Experiencing very low dopamine at that point, I just couldn’t find the space for my Dragon letter last weekend. Instead, we hosted what I hope will be our first of many house guests here in Oaxaca.
All of that to say, I’m glad to be getting back into my daily rituals this week. October filled my dance card. ππ½ππ½ππ½
This week we got to experience Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The beauty of the cemetery was breath-taking (see my IG reel). When you understand and know that we are not separated from our ancestors, everything becomes a celebration. πΌππΌ
After the lunar eclipse, I’ll complete my application for residency at the local immigration office. ππΌ
Eclipses bring a bath of neutrinos from the Sun through the Moon to Earth. These baths have been associated with being connected to the Cosmic telegraph. It was my observation a couple of years ago during an eclipse that this bath through the Moon happens for us on Earth.
The lunar eclipse is where it reverses and the neutrino bath goes from the Sun to Earth like a normal day, except that we get to transmit to the Moon. It’s a time for reflection of what we learned from the solar eclipse, giving back to the Moon those reflections.
This week’s lunar eclipse is a whopper. All of the planets will be in aspect to each other in some way. No planet will be left out. And it includes the Uranus square Saturn aspect we’ve been seeing in world with revolutions and the dismantling of institutions.
When you understand how the whole of the Solar system’s dance is a mirror for your life, you’re able to join in the dance and know which partners you’re dancing with, their style, their shimmy.Β
Remember to look for the beauty en la lucha (in the struggle) and dance. ππ½β¨ππ½
Stay wild, love fiercely. Your presence is golden.

This coming December, Rooted is hosting an incredibly special Live, 3-day event devoted to π»ππ π¨πππππππ: π΄πππππ πΉπππ πππ πππ πΊππππππ πππ πππ π·πππππππ.
EVERYONE is welcome to attend this free to the public offering that will center the dreams, imagination and creative impulse of the African diaspora.
Weβre wondering how this event can be a bridge, a wandering web into deepening our collective ideas around whatβs possible for humanity next – through the stories, histories, and traditions of the African diaspora, projected outward through the lens of Afrofuturism.
What is Afrofuturism?
“Afrofuturism is more than just breaking down racial constructs, it is really a way of triggering the imagination so that people can look at themselves and celebrate… It is about reclaiming humanity outside of racial norms. As one might guess based on the name, imagining the future of black people is an intrinsic part of Afrofuturism. βHowever, not every futuristic setting that contains Black people constitutes a work of Afrofuturism. Central to the movement is its commentary on the place of Black people and Blackness in the future.”

What futures become possible when…We look inward to our bodies,then as far out as the cosmos themselves…through the lens of the African diaspora?

Envisioning a Different Relationship to Time
Many of us are accustomed to viewing time as a resource we never seem to have enough of. The pace of our lives pushes us to constantly βmake the mostβ of our time.
That pace has a profound impact on us physically, emotionally, and spiritually and prevents us from envisioning alternative relationships to time, where we prioritize rest, joy, and pleasure.
But other ways of relating to time, outside the colonial paradigm, are possible.
Ixchel Lunar and Erica discuss decolonizing time, relearning Indigenous cyclical time, and how to build a relationship with time where it is a friend, rather than a pressure.
β The four categories of colonial time
β How colonization and dominator culture separate people from place
β How to begin to build a friendship with time through prioritizing joy, pleasure, and connection to the natural world
β Learning to accept the discomfort of liminal spaces as we journey toward decolonization

“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.
Ixchelβs work is world changing, one human being reoriented towards timeβ¦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 weβre 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.”
β 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 weβd 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
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)
