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.
Beautiful Wildling,
When the world is escalating, when people are being hunted, when the air feels charged with grief and danger, it can feel unbearable to receive emails about practice or offers.
But I want to be clear about something. I did not build this work in a calm era.
I prepared my exit from the United States in 2016 because I could feel what was coming. I have been living inside the reality of political instability, state violence, and the tightening grip of fascism for years. I have been writing about it since 2017, through the dozens of murders of my neighbors in Matagalpa in the Summer of 2018. Not as commentary. As lived experience.
Everything I offer is shaped by that.
Not to “escape reality.”Not to spiritually bypass the horror.Not to pretend you can mindset your way out of an empire collapsing.
My work exists to help people walk through this Time without losing themselves.
To keep your sanity from getting devoured by constant urgency.
To protect what matters.
To build lives, relationships, and creative work that can survive pressure.
And yes, my offers are also a request for mutual aid.
Because I am not funded by institutions. I’m shadowbanned, and I build outside the channels that reward compliance.
I am not backed by generational wealth. This work is sustained through community support.
I am not selling a lifestyle brand. I’m building living tools for precarious times, and I am asking people who have the resources to help carry them.
If you need to step away, I bless you.
And if you’ve been doomscrolling, shutting down, or going numb from political overwhelm, I want you to hear this first.
Tressie McMillan Cottom reminds us of our agency, even inside systems designed to exhaust us.
If you are still here, and you’ve been looking for support that doesn’t gaslight you about what’s happening, you are in the right place.
I work best with people who hold responsibility. People who lead. People others depend on.
There are two ways to go deeper from here, depending on what kind of support you need.
If you are resourced, and you know we need each other right now, upgrading your subscription to paid is one simple way to put money into what actually helps.
You’ll receive a daily rhythm ritual email with the Energy of the Day and Sky Pulse… a mix of sacred Indigenous timing, cosmic weather, and punk devotion. Each message includes a short, embodied practice to root you in the present and attune to the world within and around you.
If you want deeper support, there is also a private option.
Old urgency returns like a reflex. This is the moment where rhythm can be protected.
I have three private spots left for Queering Rhythm.
Queering Rhythm is a 1:1 mentorship container for people who need depth without crowding, and who are ready to make real changes, not just gather insight.
We meet for four sessions and build a rhythm that your actual life can hold.
Inside Queering Rhythm, I help you:
-
Protect your time, attention, and creative output from urgency culture
-
Stabilize your rhythm without forcing consistency
-
Reduce overwhelm and clarify what matters now
-
Work with nervous system patterns around urgency, collapse, and avoidance
-
Create a visibility rhythm that does not cost your body
-
Craft a plan that is real, livable, and sustainable
This is focused, intimate work.
We make decisions. We build a rhythm you can keep.
Depending on what emerges, I may weave in Wild Presence, Flow diagnostics, Human Design, and astrology to support timing, clarity, and sustainable action.
I’ve been guiding rhythm work and decolonial Time practice for decades, across borders, illness, leadership, and change.
This is the work I use with visionary leaders, cultural practitioners, and misfit creators, weaving new worlds that resist extraction.
Queering Rhythm is $1200. Payment plans are available.

Stay wild, love fiercely. Your presence is golden.
With wild and rebellious love,
Maltiox! xo Ixchel
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)
