I have been feeling some kind of way about this country’s yearly rituals around Black Friday, holiday shopping so forth and so on.

As a soulpreneur I am rewriting my own script around showing up in my true frequency.

No longer willing to exile myself from the marketplace and no longer willing to participate in the old paradigms for chonteau.com

I find myself in new territory. I welcome the challenge to be more true to who I be without saying I am sorry and without making others wrong.

Anybody else out there feeling the shift? My latest article explore my journey to date.

Happy remembering

There was a time I tried to sell like I was taught
“Buy now.” Sell from scarcity and appeal to wounding.

This model never fit me
Still, I wore it anyway, thinking that’s what it meant be successful at selling.

Something in me has rearranged. (Not without considerable inner work)

Now I am unafraid to offer and share what lights me up. What’s alive in my body. as much or as little as I feel.

Why? Because…

I offer…you feel…we meet in the field of resonance.

the Rooted Messages altar cards want to be placed gently in the hands of those when the time is right.

Then and only then will it be a sacred exchange of hearts.

Here’s the thing , not only will you feel the resonance, I will too and that’s the magick.

My Etsy shop is open and rooted messages is just the beginning.

So much fullness this morning tending myself while on the land.

Don’t normally post back to back reels… fear of being too much

But lion’s mane ancestor had a message for me and it just came in one word

“Leadership”

Some people focus on growing to produce. Thank you.

I don’t
that’s not what has shown up for me.

This is what has shown up for me.

My soil sister and I have started this community it’s call the Wild wider.

It’s not about learning how to grow or what plant allies help with what ailments.

Nobody cares how much knowledge you have accumulated about ecology. There are no environmental stances.

What there is

A dirt meeting
Council of tree talks
And inviting folks to share how their lives are unfolding through their unique connection to the wilds.

It’s a quiet space beyond the noise of right and wrongs.

It’s where we get to meet with our feet in the soil.

Food is memory.

One thing you can do to start your food sovereignty journey…

Learn how to cook fresh food

And learn how to make it taste good.

I am serious when I was a child I learned to cook from my mom, but also my neighbors.

We don’t do that do much but we may need to restart that tradition.

Community and connection matters.

Why aren’t more practitioners willing to talk about what’s really involved with meeting themselves every day?

I’m going to make a generalization because the 80/20 rule really does apply to just about everything when you apply it to Western culture

80% of healers practitioners and helpers are not meeting themselves every day in the soil of their composted grief fears and patterns.

that’s not because they don’t want to… They were never shown ~ we are each remembering in our own time.

What’s been modeled is as a collection of self soothing technologies that have flooded the field
We know how to perform healing and wellness.

The 80% is simply uninitiated.

The 20% that are choosing to go against the herd

they are choosing the slow path of inner composting and planting a different kind of medicine in the field.

We all need to meet each other, not in a hierarchy way ( I know I’ll call myself out. I can be a judgy bitch when I am activated ) but in a community of let’s focus on understanding

What we do with our own s**t is the medicine we’re actually offering.

Just a thought.

And read my transmission on Substack because I am still unwinding too.

Each altar card is a complete transmission.

It’s not about what I created… it’s what I gave myself permission to express.

It’s about what parts of my soul’s journey wanted to be shared.

To be witnessed is healing…

To witness is healing…

Together we heal the nation

I need 4 more 5 card bundles sales to cover the cost of my first shipment.

If you are feeling rooted messages altar cards, go to my Etsy shop chonteau’s creations soil and soul.

There’s a bundle waiting for you.

My termite inspector who is Jamaican

“Did you know you have gold growing in your yard” as he admires the sorrel plants out front

Me “yes sir, yea I do pure gold”

Him “ I just moved from Delray, I am a farmer ya know”

Me “ you want some sorrel seed”

Him “oh yes”

Me “have him a bag from last years harvest”

Him “next years inspection I’ll bring you sorrel.”

This is the truest form of currency I know.

Connection…

Oh and those seeds in the pic are not sorrel seeds, just incase you are wondering 🤔

There is a moment when the inner circuitry that regulates our body stops gripping and bracing…

it’s when safety is no longer gained through control.

Safety gained through practice is alive and we reach a moment when we remember how to trust our systems again.

Don’t think for a moment as practitioners we are not receiving from our client-community.

“I am because you are”

To be assigned the life of a community medicine keeper is to devote one’s life to the medicine we carry

That’s rooted reciprocity
