The last few weeks may have felt like A LOT. It feels like the universe is recalibrating itself and we are caught up in an intense chiropractic adjustment. But this new moon is bringing us home to ourselves. 

 

To be clear, there is not always harmony in the home. And whatever dissonance you're feeling is important information revealing where we are out of balance and alignment. When your inner beliefs and your outer actions don't align, it creates a tension and discord. In American Detox, I wrote: 

 

Dissonance is most painful when it strikes at the heart of how we see ourselves. But when faced with the discomfort of contradiction that accompanies dominant systems and our place in them, we have a choice. We can either dig into denial and retreat to our individual bubbles or we can lean in and let ourselves be implicated and impacted by our shared humanity. Once we become aware of where and how we are situated inside the dynamic system of oppression and dominance, we can take responsibility for our part in this mess and lean into what lies beyond it.

 

This moment is not calling us back to the familiar hell we've been situated in; comfort and convenience is what got us here. Rather, this libra new moon is inviting us to lean into discomfort and play with unfamiliar possibilities, unrealized dreams and perhaps even impossible futures. In today's practice, we're moving through the following inquiries: 

 

  • Where am I out of alignment with my values?

     

  • What is the dissonance or discomfort trying to reveal to me? 

     

  • Where am I caught up in rigid or limiting ideologies or narratives? 

     

  • What possibilities have I not considered yet? 

 

Join me TODAY Tuesday, October 21st (9APST/12EST) as we tune into the medicine of this new moon to guide us through this moment and help us see the next.

Join the Movement
Movement for the Movement is the practice of exploring the internal, often invisible, work of movement building that examines, interrupts and transforms the dominant patterns we are working to change. It recognizes that everything that is happening "out there" is happening "in here" - in our tissues and cells - and invites us to engage in the deep, often uncomfortable processes of somatic reflection, healing, and transformation—at individual, collective, and systemic levels—to ensure that the means of struggle do not replicate the logics of harm.
 
Guided by our senses, intuition and creativity (and an epic playlist :), we will explore a movement language that goes beyond expectations and unlocks our creative potential. It will be an ecstatic and cathartic experience of the body, mind and soul.

 

🧺 What to bring:

  • A mat, cushion, or blanket
  • Water, tea, or something nourishing
  • A journal + pen
  • Earthly offerings for the alter (any symbols of nature that can ground your practice and this portal)
