The October New Moon is almost here so I am reflecting on what happened on the September New Moon call.
The New Moon calls are a 45 minute ritual of meditation and journaling to reflect back on the month that has passed, gather up the healing, lessons and gifts, look at what you want and need now, and use all of this to set intentions and make a plan for how you're going to HOLD them over this coming month.
This is a SACRED PROMISE we make to ourselves.
Doing this consistently helps you develop a relationship to the ritual itself which helps you get more out of it. It becomes a sturdy space you can come back to for support and insight for alchemizing all the shit that happens into something more helpful. Doing this consistently over time helps you go deeper into the magic + alchemy of it.
The October New Moon call is tomorrow, October 8. Get the call details here.
During our September New Moon Intention Setting call, I wrote in HUGE letters in my journal:
SACRED DISRUPTION
ALL FREAKING YEAR I've been having a lot of health problems, difficulty accessing the care I needed for those problems, and then all sorts of small bad luck type things piling up in my life while I had reduced capacity for dealing with anything.
And during that call my own inner wisdom was showing me that these were actually SACRED DISRUPTORS.
Without the sacred disruptors, the last few years I would have been focused on staying productive, recovering quickly from setbacks, and trying to move too fast to "be my old self again"... instead of giving myself the space to find out who I am now.
Which is SO MUCH a lesson for these times.
Ever since the ways the first pandemic lockdowns impacted me in 2020, a part of me has been looking for the way to "be my old self again".
Thankfully, in recent years, most of me is more on board with exploring who I am now which is MUCH more fulfilling.
We need to slow down and then keep slowing down and go deeper and keep going deeper if we ever want a chance to find the answer that will actually CHANGE THINGS.
We need to get out of our heads. Instead of being in our heads about our story of what's happening our lives, we need to get into our bodies. Get out of the details of it and let the FEELINGS of it MOVE in you. And then go deeper and deeper into creativity and soul, the places where we can access wisdom, medicine, magic, gifts and healing.
Late-stage capitalism, with it's fascist underbelly on full display, has changed what "being in the process of healing and growth" looks like.
That change has been happening for a while! I am always exploring how to HOLD SPACE for being in the nitty-gritty of healing so hard you make all of your dreams real and the last few years I'm finding that the approach needs to keep changing more than it ever has before.
Which is where the idea of SACRED DISRUPTORS comes from.
All these things that have stopped me from moving ahead with plans in the ways I wanted to actually made me slow down and GO DEEPER and be more present with myself and be more connected to the soul of the dreams I am bringing into the world...
They disrupted my old way of doing to help me find my NEW way of doing.
Because I am SO EXCITED about the new program I am creating for the membership and I couldn't have done it the way I am doing it without all these disruptions. All this time to just... SIT WITH IT instead of MOVING FORWARD WITH IT.
The SITTING WITH is always going to be more powerful than the MOVING FORWARD. The slower we can move in the Outer Work the deeper we can go with Dream Work.
So I am still very much IN PROCESS here and excited for our call tomorrow to dive in and see where I'm at and get a look at what's next.
The October New Moon call is tomorrow, October 8. Get the call details here.
I hope to see you there!
