Way of Belonging

Way Of Belonging is a home for repairing what has been severed, reconnecting to body / earth / ancestral wisdom, and reclaiming erotic power.

We are an (un)learning community dedicated to personal and collective transformation. We believe that belonging is nature’s intelligence awakened within us and arises from an ongoing set of care practices (somatic, ancestral, place-based) rooted in interspecies liberation. Our work lies at the confluence of eco-spirituality, eco-therapy, and eco-somatics. We guide you towards wholeness, empowerment and belonging through nature-based and body-centered soul tending. WE SUPPORT YOU TO:
- Repair earth/spirit + mind/body disconnection
- Slow down & find pleasure in simplicity
- Orient to seasonal living + cyclical ways of knowing
- Cultivate sensual aliveness & full body presence
- Listen to the way your soul speaks to & through you
- Engage in meaningful earth-rooted rituals
- Creatively adapt to the time in which we live
- Reconnect to the wild, erotic power of being fully awake

Here are some very precious moments from our sweet solstice gathering!! We had a jolly time playing with bubbles, listening to the land, greeting all the flowers, and co-creative an earth mandala as a collective offering with gratitude in our hearts for the abundance of the season. ☀️🙏🏼🌀🌸

OUR HEARTS ARE FULL!!!

☀️ Summer Solstice is a sacred moment in the year when light suffuses the northern lands as the sun reaches the height of its strength, making it the longest day of the year.

The energy of this time of the year is expansive, playful, vibrant and encourages you to revel in the abundance available now, to rejoice in your love for the world, and to embody your radiance in bold new ways.

The Sun symbolizes love, generosity, vitality, and abundance because our sun is the SOURCE of life, sending out a constant stream of life force energy. All beings and life forms receive this nurturing warmth and love.

The sun is the physical CENTER of our solar system around which the planets revolve.

It is our relationship to the sun's radiance that dictates our earthly existence.

It is the light of a new day that causes us to awaken from night's slumber in the same way that a seed begins to stir as the soil warms after winter's freeze.

As the source & center of life, the sun also represents the spiritual center within you. The place inside from which your love pours forth into action. You are called from the darkness by the sun's loving radiance and are reminded of your own unique capacity to nurture seeds of love, live boldly in alignment with your values, and radiate your inner abundance out into the world.

As we near summer solstice, the creative playmaking that is life reveals itself in every moment. Summer’s abundant flourishing is only ever the result of collaboration rooted in ecosystem entanglement. Every life form belongs and contributes their gifts toward the vitality of wholeness.

The spirit of our piedmont home-place is oozing with multi-layered vibrant expressions: aromatic flavors, joyful song and chatter, rich tones and hues, rhythmic pulsations and movement. Something we are learning is that we are really only able to receive the wonder and gifts of the season to the extent that we are able to participate and give of ourselves in reciprocity.

And what if participation implies improvisational play, where collaboration is rooted in relational exploration and expression then it is about achieving outcomes? The process of play itself becomes the nourishment that keeps the fire of creativity burning!

We are called to participate in the playmaking that is the summer season; to give generously the gifts of our spirit, and allow what is abundant within to flow forth like the source of life itself: the Sun. Abundance arises from the play of giving and receiving.

Last month we teamed up with Wild Fern Studios to creatively embody this seasonal theme through a visual project. This collaboration fulfilled a creative longing that prioritized play and process over producing outcomes; nurtured an intention for relational eco-intimacy; and invited us into deeper territories of embodied soul expression.

Coming together with Bethany and Laura was a life-giving, co-creative process that can only be summed up as playful art-making every step of the way! Through our collaborative process we were invited and simultaneously challenged to connect deeply to the spirit, vision and values that guide our work. This extended into how we shaped our time together; how we wanted to BE together. The resonance that resulted was like dappled sunlight dancing across flowing waters…

〰️Summer ≠ fast (as in accumulation).
〰️Summer = slow & steady (as in maturity).

Just because light increases, doesn’t mean we need to “do” more in terms of feeding the machine of capitalism or perpetuating pressures that come with social or self-imposed expectations.

It’s not about productivity, but rather embodying the movement that naturally arises with increased warmth!

‘Tis the season of FIRE! 🔥It’s about allowing yourself to be MOVED and heart-warmed as you soak in the pleasure of LIFE pulsing through your entire being.

Fire naturally produces lightness, joy, pleasure, laughter, connection and LOVE. What brings warmth and pleasure to our spirit enfleshed? THE SUN!! ☀️

What if you took a moment each day or 20 min a week to practice softening into supple presence as you invite your body-mind-heart to receive the love streaming toward you?

What might stir or awaken within you?

The more situated you
get in your skin,

the more room
you will have to grow.

The more
you live in your body
the more you slow down.

🌼Bealtaine is a Gaelic fire festival marking the halfway point between Spring Equinox & Summer Solstice.

🌿It is a joyful time to celebrate life, growth, love & fertility of the landscape as we bear witness to life unfurling.

✨Nature reflects the vitality of life that inevitably arises after a time of dormancy & digestion. While Spring arouses us, early Summer lures us out from hiding, drawing us into the lo******ng that is life itself!

🌱If the message of Spring Equinox is about breaking free from what is confining...
then Bealtaine calls us to claim our freedom and follow it into the realms of embodied fulfillment.

👣As earthen creatures, our divinity is entangled with the flesh of who we are.

🌊Vitality is our birthright and we experience this through the pleasure of aliveness and the sensuality of being ensouled matter.

🍀Coming back to our bodies, awakening our senses and giving ourselves permission to prioritize safety and what feels good is how we access the flowing nectar of life.

⚡️The energy of Bealtaine is
delightful,
arousing,
and invites you to
soften into the pleasure
of your erotic sensual self!

We are in the season of
I N H A L E.

As you breathe in
notice how your body
naturally lifts & unfurls
R E A C H I N G &
E X P A N D I N G
into space

Inhaling,
notice the expansion
of your H E A R T
as it spreads
inner petals
toward the
L I G H T.

Like a flower,
your inner essence
longs to be KNOWN
through the fullest
expression of your form.

Breathing in…
drink the golden nectar of life.

With every I N H A L E
let your breath
S O F T E N
you from the inside.

Inhaling,
feed your hearts inner flame
(Let it consume you)
Until your body
becomes a vessel of
i l l u m i n a t i o n.

Take a deep breath…
allow it to lift you
into your freedom.

I N H A L E.
the light of love
welcomes you home.
