Do you feel it?
There’s amazing energy in the movement right now…folks finding
their place and showing up in all kinds of ways.
Energy is good. Showing up is good. It also feels like a good
time to revisit what it means to be “good”.
Conceptualizations of what it means to be “a good person” are a
part of a broader process of socialization that serves to train
us in how to play our assigned roles in the dynamic system of
oppression. Early on we learn what it means to be obedient, play
by the rules, perform the status quo. Of course, none of this is
neutral, enforced by a system that either rewards us for
following the rules or punishes us for going against the grain.

I wrote: The desire to be good - whether in the eyes of god, or
under the banner of meritocracy, or due to social pressure to be
perfect - often has more to do with serving ourselves than the
people we are trying to serve.
Being "good" fits into a power dynamic that exists to keep us
stuck and maintain the status quo. Anand Ghiradarades, author of
Winner Takes All
( [link removed] )
, suggests that perhaps instead of trying to be "good" we should
try to do less harm. For me, that inspires better questions...
Instead of “how can I be good?”, we could ask “how can I do less
harm?"
Instead of “what is the right way?”, we could ask “what is my
unique role and responsibility?”
Instead of "how do I do better?", we could ask "how do we grow
together?"
Instead of "who's going to save us?", we could ask "how do we
create the conditions for liberation and wellbeing for all?"
We must no longer strive to be good, we must strive to be human.
Together.
Over the next few months I'm hosting spaces and events to help us
return to wholeness and get ready for the work ahead.

GROW ( [link removed] ) is a
white-bodied coaching cohort for those of us who are committed to
divesting from whiteness and stepping into wholeness. White
folks, like myself, are yearning to engage in solidarity and
future building from a place that is solid and centered, not
small and scrambled. GROW
( [link removed] ) is an invitation to do
just that - to confront all that is holding us back from
wholeness so we can step into our purpose and place in the world.
Together, we will move through a journey of detox and recovery
towards healing and wholeness so that we can fully inhabit who we
are and what we are here to do. Our journey will be a hybrid of
individual and small group coaching via zoom over the course of
four months. Cohort limited to only 12 people to optimize
intimacy and impact.

Who knows WTF is going to happen over the next few months,
but you can plan on THIS for an election decompression and
whole-ass reset.
RESET 25 ( [link removed] ) retreat is a
radical and embodied inquiry into what’s holding us back and
what’s needed for us to step into our greatest potential. Set on
the idyllic coast of Mazunte, Mexico, our journey will be fueled
by movement, nourished by local cuisine, resourced by nature and
inspired by play. It will be a generous balance of practice and
play as we reflect on where we are coming from and where we are
going.
Here’s what you can expect:
✨Five nights accommodations
✨Locally sourced cuisine/meals
✨Dynamic yoga and movement to excavate stuck energy and unleash
our potential
✨Rituals to clear obstacles and call in courage and clarity
✨Dream design work and tools for direction and manifestation
✨Space for rest and rejuvenation
✨Choose your own adventures including surfing, whale watching,
hiking, hot springs and more!
Join me for a powerful journey into purpose and possibility for
2025!
