I’m constipated just looking at this!! 🤯❌

And Their Wings Touched Each Other — What A Shrink Thinks I need to take a breath sometimes. I need a birds-eye, angel-eye, cosmic-view sometimes. Just for a moment, so I can keep going.

many more of us dream of beloved and just communities, dream of better lives for all children and all future beings. Of an earth healed and regarded as alive and sacred. And to move toward these dreams perhaps we need visions of being surrounded by holy generativity, creative fires, Divine love

A Mother’s Curse — What A Shrink Thinks Progenitors, creators and the earth have been too patient for far too long. Beware a Mother’s Curse.

“Her viscera trembled all together to her very foundation. Undeterred in discharging her magic, she then spoke the spells.”

A mother’s curse.

"Wisdom + tenderness gained thru suffering. Alchemizing bitterness into a wit + kindness more deeply rooted than niceness. Taking responsibility for the quality of our experience."

When real-life headlines read like they come out of nightmares, it's a lifeline to have your dreams sift through the barrage of daily images and offer up one that's informative, helpful, insightful -- and then have a community of people just talk about it together.

Our brains are trying to help us.

Riding the Roller Coaster Workshop: — What A Shrink Thinks or grown-ups who have feelings

If propgandists, fascists, LLMs and algorithms know more about how your emotional response cycle operates than you do -

this trouble is deeper than you know.

Your emotions are trying to perform important functions

And hold their tiny sweaters for ransom.

That sounds right. They’d start shaking pitifully and spill the beans…

i've been a part of Nina's co-resting groups for over a year. after leaving behind my life as a monk, it's the one place i've been able to experience the joy + power of the teaching "zazen has no fixed form." a profound spiritual practice + a place to show up authentically with others #inthesetimes

Starts tomorrow!

Happy to make room for more! 🌸

I’m looking forward to this discussion with Martha and Dr. Charles — they’re asking important questions 💡

Circling the Drain: Living Intentionally with Mortality a gentle, joyful by-donation 16 week workshop starting Wed 9/24

"Totalitarians manipulate us is through our heightened anxiety about death and dying—as the dominant culture has failed to initiate so many of us into healthy relationship to our mortality.

...But we also have to be prepared to mourn, and find meaning in lives that are finite."

Tomorrow @sheainthecatskills.com & I will be hosting Trust in Communication — who would like to join us?

I’ve called several pharmacies near me (Central Texas) — they’ve all said that they have a “limited stock”. Oy.

A person with short dark hair, wearing teal sunglasses, a black face mask, and a red-and-black checkered flannel shirt, stands against a red wooden wall. They are holding up a tarot card with the illustration of "XV The Devil," showing a horned figure with wings and two smaller figures. The person wears layered necklaces and a chunky silver ring.

A cream-colored background with a gold decorative flourish at the top and a thin gold border. The text reads: "So much of my suffering in this life has stemmed from shame, from wanting to be a good person, as opposed to a true person, or a whole person. My process of liberating my vitality and power in this life has meant being willing to acknowledge my real feelings, desires, needs and limits. To divest from the ways I’ve betrayed myself in order to be seen as good or right or correct. To be willing to be a monster in someone else’s story.” –shea in the catskills At the bottom center is a small black-and-gold logo with interlocking shapes.

Meet @sheainthecatskills.com, a queer artist, tarotist, intuition facilitator, organizer and contemplative. We are so excited to be publishing their work. For The Devil issue, shea wrote a personal essay titled "On Liberating My Wild Devotion" about their relationship to eroticism & the male gaze ❤️‍🔥
