I turned 50 years young this week and it has been nothing short of powerful and profound. Crossing the threshold into this new chapter in my life's journey has brought up reflections about my life, about what it took to get here, about what I have learned along the way, and about what's next. It has provoked questions of "have I been brave enough?" and "what is still holding me back from wholeness?" and "do i love big enough?"
There is something both existential and exciting about turning 50. No longer can you hide behind the naivety and insecurity of your youth. No more can you blame others for your your suffering or play the victim in a world that was never meant for you. Not another second should be spent playing small and scared. Now or never, you must grab your destiny by the throat and tackle the fuck out of your life.
The 8/8 Lion's Gate is not just a date, it's an activation. It refers to the time between July 28th and August 12th when the stars in the sky are at peak energy and calling us into our greatest potential. It is an invitation to reorganize our lives and the world so that everyone has what they need to survive and thrive.
This potent portal is a gateway to what lies beyond this hellscape and holds the seeds for what is possible. Scroll down for some juicy programs and practices to support your/our growth and transformation.

Join me THIS FRIDAY for a special movement ritual to honor the this powerful portal and full moon (and Leo birthdays!).
Movement for the Movement understands that the practice of unlearning is not just an intellectual pursuit but a whole bodied inquiry. It calls us to confront the old, limiting stories and beliefs we carry in our tissues and our bones, to disrupt and release default response patterns and to question our attachment/addiction to the illusions of dominant culture. Guided by the music, our senses, intuition and creativity, we will explore a movement language that goes beyond expectations and unlocks our creative potential. It will be an ecstatic and carhartic movement of the body, mind and soul.
📅 Friday, August 8th
⏰ 9AM PST / 12PM EST
Practice is pay what you can. Everyone is welcome.

**RETREAT ALERT**
Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA
October 27 - 31, 2025
Y'all...we're going to Esalen!
American Detox is a bold and embodied exploration of how we’ve been shaped by history, trauma, and culture and what it’s going to take to heal. Based on the critically acclaimed book by Kerri Kelly, this journey invites us to challenge the myths that have shaped our reality — separation, supremacy, and scarcity — so that we can move toward personal and collective wholeness. Through dynamic movement, radical inquiry, and creative engagement, we will:
- Unlearn limiting beliefs, inherited stories, and toxic patterns of being and doing.
- Explore transformative practices that move energy, disrupt patterns, and metabolize trauma.
- Build greater capacity and resilience for the discomfort of change and the uncertainty of (im)possible futures.
- Cultivate an everyday practice of collective care that ensures all of us can be well.
- Reimagine ways of being, doing, surviving, and thriving together.
We are being called to rise to the occasion — to take stock of what is no longer serving us so that we can step into our full power and potential. This retreat is designed to facilitate just that — an awakening of the mind, body, and spirit that enables us to meet this moment and shape the future that we all deserve.
