“Together, the Four Rs call for a sacred renewal. They urge us to resonate with the people’s pulse, reignite the moral flame, reclaim the sacred center and radically reimagine the world to come. For many, this is no longer merely an act of political resistance but a movement toward revolutionary repentance, Teshuvah, and Tawbah [the Hebrew and Arabic words for repentance and atonement], to repair our broken hearts, systems and world.”

There is growing understanding that our country is witnessing evil in our public life. Here is a path to confronting it

A few years ago, one of "several" Ta**ra teachers, turned colleague, turned friend, Alex Jade and I discussed an idea - creating a Q***r Therapy Group. The spark quickly fizzled as my life continued through my personal Dark Night of the Soul.

The past 6 months since bidding adieu to POCAAN (after 5.5 years), has sparked a whirlwind of internal changes. A lot of physical and energetic unwinding and releasing, rediscovering my voice, my passion, and my Dharma - my work in the world - being a Magician, Teacher, Healer, and Guide.

Against the backdrop of my newly found energetic capacity and the social maelstrom we are currently living in, I revisited the Q***r Group idea with Alex. They were immediately onboard with my renewed vision and fire! And for the past 2 months we set to creating, crafting, imagining, and conjuring!

*************
It is my pleasure, and my joy, to present and invite 12 pioneering Q***r Souls into a 12-week pilot container where we re-learn how to be in community - truly. Where we are reached for, and reach toward others. Where we are witnessed and can witness. And where we call each other home - to ourselves, our true names, and to each other!

"At the heart of this group is the belief that we are stronger together than we are apart, that disconnection is one of humanity's deepest wounds, and that connection and community are as innate as our DNA. This is an invitation to co-create - not just a group, but a model for how community might grow and evolve in this changing world. This group is aimed at discovering the interconnected synthesis and healing we can achieve - together."

This group is one of the ways I am creating the world I want to live in. A world where each story, each breath, and each soul is truly honored, celebrated, and held!

If this resonates with you, I invite you to read more below, email us, and join us in this wild, healing, and amazing creative practice!

After 11 years, it has recently come to my attention, due to modern browser updates, that my site renders and performs best on Firefox! I'm aware of this issue, and a new and improved site is currently in development. Thank you for your patience!

A 3-month, in person, facilitated Q***r-centered experiment in community healing - where we learn to hold one another through change, grow our capacity for empathy, and practice the ways of care, connection, healing, and transformation - for ourselves and the world.

We are three days from the AUM (OM) Circle and for those wondering if this is an experience you'd like to explore, here are some thoughts...

The AUM Circle might be for you if:

✨ You’re craving deeper connection to yourself, others, and something greater.

✨ You sense the world is shifting and feel called to ground in sacred community.

✨ You long to use your voice as a bridge between the inner and outer worlds.

✨ You’re curious about meditation, mantra, and the vibration of AUM/OM.

✨ You wish to feel more centered, calm, and alive in your body.

✨ You believe healing begins within and ripples outward into the world.

✨ You’re ready to gather, breathe, and raise the collective vibration - together.

Come as you are. Bring your breath, your voice, and your heart.
Let’s rise together in sound and stillness. See you there!

AUM Circle Creating the world we want begins with our communal voice! For thousands of years, Indian sages, mystics, and gurus have taught that before thought and form, there was silence. From silence came vibration. A-U-M (“OM”) is the primordial tone: the sound of arising, creation, sustainin

We are at a time of collective unraveling of ancestral, cultural and personal trauma in our bodies. At the heart of this unraveling lies a tremendous amount of confusion around the nature of consent— what it actually is — and how we consciously or unconsciously traverse in or out of the bo
