Hola! I’m Ixchel Lunar (they/them), an Indigenous time ecologist, ancestral medicine guide, and rhythm witch for creative rebels, decolonial dreamers, and neuroqueer visionaries. This Substack is dedicated to weaving business, body, and belonging into something no empire can replicate. Still punk as fuck. Still cozy in the chaos.
Please note that in between Dragon Letters, I’ll be sharing about my work in Wild Presence over the next few weeks. These will be chock-full of teachings. Substack doesn’t support campaign opt-outs, but for consent purposes, as a reminder, you can skip these emails by checking whether the preview text begins “Dragon 🐉 Letter #.”. Or feel free to unsubscribe if my work no longer serves. Onward…
If you haven’t shopped the Black Friday sale yet, you’re in luck! I’ve extended it through Sag Season. The BOGO sessions are a fabulous way to receive mentorship with me on your personal cosmology.
Beautiful Wildling,
A bunch of new folks arrived recently and I want to greet you with care.Thank you for joining us. I feel your presence here.
If we have not met yet, I am Ixchel Lunar. I am an Indigenous Time Ecologist and a guide for people who want to stay human inside conditions that feel unstable. My work centers body rhythm, ancestral belonging, and a way of living that honors your inner terrain. I’m so glad you’ve arrived!
The world keeps speeding up, and honestly… most of our bodies are like, “lol absolutely not.”
If you’ve been exhausted lately, that’s not you failing. That is your body doing the heavy lifting.
Many of us neurodivergent folks, queer and trans kin, mixed-lineage humans, creatives, healers, sensitives, were never built for the grind. We notice the glitches early. We feel the tension before anything happens. We carry way too much while the systems around us are kind of… 🫠
If you are new, here is what you will find in this space:
-
practices and reflections that help you steady your rhythm
-
invitations that bring your attention back into your body
-
tools for moving through collapse without losing yourself
-
stories that root you in belonging and personal cosmology
-
reminders that your pace carries wisdom
-
pathways toward relief when the world feels too fast
A lot of people who join this community arrive with a sense of tightness and time scarcity. The inner rhythm feels stretched thin. There is a clench in the jaw or chest. A strange mix of tiredness and alertness. A feeling of carrying too much with no place to set anything down. If you recognize any of this, you are not alone here. Many of us feel it too.
Bracing has kept us alive.But living in a permanent clench is its own kind of depletion.
If urgency is stealing your presence, if showing up costs more than you have, if your weeks feel like white-knuckling… you don’t have to hold that alone.
I’m offering Rhythm Reset, a 30-minute session where we figure out why your energy is leaking. Afterwards, you’ll receive a simple Aligned Rhythm Map that your body will actually trust, and I will check in a few days later so you don’t get pulled back into the chaos.
It’s tiny on purpose.One shift.A real exhale.A reminder that your pace is sacred and you deserve support long before you’re on the floor.
If your system is asking for steadier ground, you can explore Rhythm Reset here:

The purpose is simple.A small relief you can feel right away.A return to your own timing.A breath that belongs to you again.
Your rhythm matters. Your capacity matters.Your body carries a knowing that deserves space and attention.
I am grateful you are here.
Stay wild, love fiercely. Your presence is golden.
With wild and rebellious love,
Maltiox! xo Ixchel
P.S. If the world feels heavy on your inner terrain, Rhythm Reset offers a small place to set something down. You can book your session here.
P.P.S. Maltiox pronounced mall-tee-osh means with gratitude in K’iche Mayan.

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)
