Repotting in Retrograde: Deconditioning, Decolonizing, and the Slow Work of Rhythm Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #106: We are the Nepantla generations, living in the pause between endings and beginnings. This letter traces how rhythm remembers us home.

Mercuryโ€™s retrograde has slowed everything to a crawl, pulling at our roots and asking what still belongs in the pot. I trace how deconditioning and decolonizing live in the body, how embodied leadership reshapes itself through rhythm, and why Nepantla generations are tending the fertile in-between.

Madrina Muerte: The Death Saint Who Loves Those Living on the Dangerous and Hedonic Margins Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #105: How Santa Muerte found me on Dรญa de Muertos, and the quiet grace of those she never abandons.

On November 1, I found myself in a Santa Muerte parade here in Coatepec. I hadnโ€™t gone looking for her. She found me.

This is how meeting La Huesuda (Bony Lady) revealed the grace of those she never abandons, and how death teaches us to compost whatโ€™s ending so we can live more fully.

On Moving, Migrating, and Making Space Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #104: Flow, Flare, and the Weight of Ancestral Time

Moving boxes everywhere. Nerves talking loud. Still, thereโ€™s this pull to refine the work, to make the visible match the soul of it. When we move from one version of ourselves to another, the signal flickers. What once fit feels tight. The voice we used no longer carries the same charge.

Digestion is Spiritual Alchemy: Animism, Appetite, and the Hungry Ghosts of Purity Culture Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #103: How Animism is helping me unlearn dogma, befriend food again, and listen to the body as kin

I used to think healing meant purity. Now I know it begins with presence. Every bite is a small act of remembering, a connection between my body, my ancestors, and the land that feeds us. Read about the hungry ghosts of #purityculture and the relational rhythm Iโ€™m learning to hear beneath them.

Happy Equinox: Dust off your shine โ€” be your own Rapture ๐Ÿ˜œ Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #102: You donโ€™t have to wait for the sky to split. The festering, the ache, the crack itself is sacred ground.

What if your creative freeze isnโ€™t a flawโ€ฆ but a self-fulfilling prophecy in the best way? What if your crack isnโ€™t meant to be healed, but heard? In the wake of the eclipse and the noise of false Raptures, I wrote this Dragon Letter about awe, collapse, and what it means to emerge w/out coherence.

What Family Constellations, IFS and Therapy Leaves Unfinished Empire pins the ache on you. Ritual returns it to the lineage where it belongs.

Family constellations. IFS. Even therapy.

They surface ancestral patterns, but without ritual protection, the unwell ancestors are awakenedโ€ฆ and left unhealed.

Empire pins the ache on you. Ritual returns it to the lineage where it belongs. The free workshop is tomorrow. More details ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿ™„ Neuroscientist Discovers โ€œThe Signsโ€ and Trains Up Her Senses Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #99: The hype promises 34 senses and shocking signs. What it leaves out is protection.

๐Ÿ™„ A neuroscientist went on a viral podcast to say she talks to the dead and can train 34 senses. Millions are listening.

I wrote about why this sensational approach leaves people unprotected, and what ancestral connection actually requires.

Sometimes the dead remind us theyโ€™re still near. For me, itโ€™s the faint scent of my abuelitaโ€™s Channel No. 5.

These signs are real. They keep us close.

Reframe 5 of 5: This doesnโ€™t run on empireโ€™s clock Some things canโ€™t be scheduled, systemized, or optimized โ€” and this is one of them.

Some things canโ€™t be scheduled, systemized, or optimized, no matter how much weโ€™ve been taught to manage every moment. And this? This is one of them. In my latest post, Iโ€™m sharing why this truth matters now more than ever, and what becomes possible when we finally stop trying to make it fit. โ†’

Iโ€™m still hereโ€ฆ breath tethered to body, heart reverberating through time. Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #98: Silver Palms, Spiral Time, and the Ache of Belonging

Joanna Macy has merged into the infinite. Her hospice journey stirred memories of midwifing my abuelita Beaโ€™s death, and my own brush with the beyond this July.

Time spirals. Ancestors speak. And Iโ€™m still here.

In this liminal stretch โ€” between breath and beyond โ€” Iโ€™m opening the circle.

Are you living yet? Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter # 96: ๐Ÿ’€ When death calls your name, will you have lived enough to go contentedly?

Heard my own death declared: July 26th, sepsis.

Yeah. Thatโ€™ll rearrange your priorities real quick.

I wrote about it in todayโ€™s Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter, about rationing life, devotion, + choosing action before Time chooses for you.

What if small is sacred? Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ Letter #95: Your ritual doesnโ€™t have to be perfect to count.

What If Small Is Sacred? Because maybe itโ€™s not scale we need, maybe itโ€™s soul.

For the ones weaving futures in kitchens, altars, street corners.
For the soft and stubborn acts of resistance that no algorithm can touch.
For those of us done with the hustle and hungry for rhythm.
