Reminiscent vibe? I’ll bite. 2016 is the year I opened Aletis House in Hudson (read 📖 Jane Eyre’s Sisters to learn about the Aletis namesake), home to all things embodyperiod. 🎂 (and when it still felt like I knew every online menstrual advocate personally 🩸😘)
🌹Started my practice here offering 1:1 wMeagan Boydgline then was “menstrual and sexual empowered embodiment from the depths up and out.”
🌹lead monthly women’s councils (often sharing the art of ) called Bodystorm that ran for 7 years 💘
🌹an embodied imagination Dreamwork group called Nighshades
🌹various 4D Wheel workshops (Red Wheel for our menstrual stories, Gold Wheel Dr. Ashley Dialstories)
🌹 attended a 4D training with my mentor Gina Ogden at The Rowe Center.
🌹co-facilitated an in-depth retreat with equine whisperer sister
🌹taught an experiential wheel workshop of my dissertation findings working through cramped menstrual cultural conditioning at an archetypal psychology conference on the feminine
🌹weAnnie Sprinklefancy parities in fancy shoes
🌹my familiar Oliver (🪽) tolerated many suitors
🌹got married to Nature in a group ecosexual wedding officiated by
🌹leaned into the new and strange experience of owning my own home after many of years of perching wherever psyche lead me
🌹ritual hangs with riotous women (watch last slide till the end 😉)

What’s changed since then? Really I’m still up to the same embodied individuation life as ceremony and waking dreaming - but I can say qualitatively there has been a deep ripening through the last decade. More steadily seated in the root throne of my being and more fiercely lovingly attuned to this path and who I joyously serve. Here’s to the next turn in the 🌀 dance.

Many women arrive at this work already knowing something is off in the way their aliveness has been interpreted, managed, and narrowed over time.

What often brings relief isn’t permission to want more, but language that finally fits lived experience. Language that recognizes erotic life as responsive, intelligent, and shaped by context — rather than something that should remain stable, available, or easily explained. When that recognition lands, shame loosens. Curiosity returns. Choice becomes possible again.

This is where depth work begins: by building the internal and external structures that allow aliveness to move without distortion. Not by fixing desire, but by developing the capacity to stay in relationship with it as it shifts, intensifies, recedes, and reorganizes.

If this reframes something you’ve struggled to name, pause with it.

What changed for you when desire learned it had to be managed?
What might become possible with a larger container?

Save this if it gives language to something you’ve lived.
Share it with someone who’s ready for a deeper frame.

And if you, like me, are seeding structures of greater eros and creative power for 2026, join me for Reclaiming Eros 🌹 see bio link for details and registration 💫🌑

When eros is welcomed back into the body, it doesn’t stay contained. It begins to ripple outward — shaping how you choose, how you create, how you relate, how you say yes and no. Clarity returns. Vitality reorganizes. Life starts to feel inhabited again.

✨Reclaiming Eros✨ is for women who sense that their creative power, pleasure, and presence have been shaped by adaptation — and who are ready to meet what lives underneath the old patterns. For those who want more than insight alone. For those who are ready to feel their way into change.

This is an embodied, depth-psychological workshop that works through the body — using somatic practice, ritual, creative exploration, and the 4D Wheel to restore contact with eros as life force. Not to fix or override yourself, but to create the conditions where desire can reorganize from the inside out.

The result isn’t a momentary high.
It’s a felt shift in how you inhabit your life — more agency, more coherence, more creative movement forward.

We meet at a powerful midpoint of the year — a threshold where what’s been stirring beneath the surface can begin to take form. You don’t have to know what is emerging yet. You only have to be willing to make room for it.

How I moved through the 2026 doorway…
Lake Atitlán worked on me quietly.

Not as escape, not as revelation —
but as a deep listening that didn’t require language.

I spent a week held by the waters and volcanic bowl of Lake Atitlán, staying — a place that knows how to nourish silence, rhythm, and rest 🙏🏼🌹

Winter still holds the land where I live.
The year has technically turned.
The moon has moved through her own reckonings.
And at the lake that now lives inside my breathing, feels older than all of it.

Some thresholds announce themselves.
Others are subterranean — felt in the breath, the sleep, the waterline of the heart.

This is not a moment of resolution.
It’s a moment of orientation.

Listening for what is humming in the space made by a year of emptying out.
Noticing what no longer requires force.
Letting the body register that something has shifted,
even if nothing is ready to be named yet.

There are many calendars at work right now.
Solar, lunar, seasonal, ancestral.
The nervous system has its own.

I’m letting them speak to each other
without rushing any of it into action beyond radical presence.

For now, water.
For now, rhythm.
For now, standing at the edge of more than one beginning.

Thank you Lake Atitlán, thank you for holding all the magic and the tree that grows through the bungalow I got to call home for a week, thank you Paola - medicine woman and sovereign soul who guided and tended to me in deep practice 👁️✨💙

Blessed 2026 dear souls 💋

There is a way life organizes itself when you stop managing it.
Not reckless. Not collapsed. Just… less interrupted.

This time of year invites that kind of listening.

The kind that doesn’t rush to interpret experience or make it useful.

The kind that lets sensation, desire, and timing speak first.

I’ve been noticing how much effort falls away when I trust where I’m living from — not just what I’m doing.

How the body knows when something is finished.
How truth doesn’t need emphasis.
How desire moves more cleanly when it isn’t being watched.

This isn’t withdrawal from the world.
It’s a different quality of presence inside it.
And it changes everything:
how we move
how we relate
how we touch what matters
how we let ourselves be seen

This mid-winter, I’m holding a focused workshop at Kripalu for women who are ready to explore that shift — not conceptually, but experientially.

Not to fix anything.
Not to push through anything.
But to remember what it feels like to live from the inside again.

This work isn’t mindset. It’s psyche meeting form.
Jungian alchemy held through the 4-D Wheel — Body, Mind, Heart, Spirit — so transformation isn’t conceptual, but lived.

If the slides landed like recognition, if you felt that spark in your chest or the tug low in the belly —
trust that.

A clear, coherent way to meet this season on your own terms.

Late November through December activates lineage, unconscious roles, end-of-year pressure, old grief, and the “doing” patterns many women carry.
It’s a complex season, and the psyche shows it.

If you want grounded support to stay whole inside this terrain, I’m teaching an immersive depth-psychological class and ritual on Monday:

⭐️The Art of Staying Whole Through the Holy-Days⭐️

Embody your own coherent way to move through the weeks ahead.

From my autumn photo roll, moments of gratitude:

- NYC slumber party and hang with my Sister Queen .s.burnett
- One of my favorite road views in the Hudson Valley
- Having the very dated but/and cherished book and I edited together featured amongst my mentor Gina Ogden, one of my beloved teachers Marion Woodman, and flame-fanning at the bookshop
- Badass crew of Divine Sisters from my Inanna Path to Wholeness workshop at
- Backyard bounty and spirited visitors
- A precious day with little Sebastian and
- Big skin shed with the beloved women of the Sister Beloved retreat and the pleasure of being in cedar hot tub under the November night sky together at .experience
- Adventures in art, deep bodysoul listening, and eros.

Moments of grounding into being, essence, power, presence, flow, accompaniment, delight, sensuality, clarity, inspiration, peace, and expansion.

Grateful too for the second cousin who just swung by to drop off his pumpkin pie because he knows it’s my favorite 🥰 and the wide and wild constellation of family I am about to feast with. Here we go 🍴🐍🌹

The holidays activate complex psychic layers—lineage, family myth, unconscious roles, cultural expectation.
This class gives you a grounded way to work with that complexity and stay intact and aligned with your own heart’s coherence.

🌚Blessed New Moon dear souls. I woke before dawn with these passages from Mary Hamilton’s book “The Dragonfly Principle: An Exploration of the Body’s Function in Unfolding Spirituality” whispering through me.

Mary was a dancer who worked closely with Jungian analyst Marion Woodman and voice coach Ann Skinner — the trio developed the method BodySoul Rhythms.

Her book first came to me synchronistically at a time, nearly 20 years ago, while in my own depth psychological studies and spending many hours sitting alongside still water with a blue dragonfly on my knee, inviting me to make contact with what it would take to rise from my own nymphic, watery depths.

This was the beginning of embodyperiod., and the origins of the dragonfly totem/logo of this work.
Dragonfly rising at dawn to dance returns me always to the heart of all that I’m called to be and offer. She flickers in the darkness. Wake to her.

There’s only one opening for a winter solstice start for my Soulwork Mentorship Seasonal Alchemy if you feel the call to deepen into focused and strongly held bodysoul evolution. See link in bio to learn more about the different Vessels of this experience 🖤

11/18/2025

The reclamation of Eros is the retrieval of creative life force; it’s a turn towards the deep river of aliveness within that animates your bodysoul; it’s a revival of your unique, complex, beautiful expression in the world beyond the shackles of the lived experience of patriarchy through the female body; it’s potent threshold of deep embodied healing and the activation of creative power first and foremost in your own terms. And yes, it’s about your sacred desire that embers and burns at the throne of your being. And yes, it’s about pleasure as birthright as a sensate creature of this earth. And yes, it’s about love and the Eros of your relationships — with yourself, with others, with the world. And yes yes yes, it’s about ecstatic states. Eros is dynamic, as are you.

Resource yourself in this bounty with me at the midway point between Winter and Spring at .

Take your time reading these slides, visit my website (see bio link) for more. Feel into it. Write me if you have questions, we can schedule a free call. I’m here for you. Follow your yes.
