Response-ability is relational
my healing is not whole alone
Let this be your anchor back to the sea within - that place of intuition and liveliness that feels distant but only because you’ve been convinced that anything and everything is more important than time to pause and be with (y)ourself.
I’ve always had this “I can just do on my own” voice inside me.
Why pay money when I can just do it myself?
Why do it with others when I’m more productive or less distracted alone?
Maybe it’s the working class mentality I grew up with - “work hard, play hard, on your own terms”.
Maybe it’s the fear of rejection and disappointment that echoes through my neurodivergent nervous system and assimilated lineages.
Thankfully, I’ve been reforming these inherited ways with each moment I show up to a physical or virtual space where there is an agreement to meet and exchange.
It’s thanks to the 8pm co-creating session I peeled my body off the couch for… that I feel connected to my art again.
It’s thanks to the group I dance with each Friday at 5pm when my mind is clinging to the computer where my to-do list is not completes… that I feel clear enough to return renewed again.
Could I do these things without these groups? Yes, logically, but apparently, not easily.
And I would not get that shared sense of expression and witnessing, inter-weaving between our beings, if I did it alone.
If our needs are interdependent and relational, then maybe it makes more sense than our cultures want us to believe that we grow better together.
I’m a tired introvert with social trauma who is remembering how powerful it is to be in shared space with others.
And it’s these threads of curious connection that create some deeper response-ability within me; I can better respond to my own needs when I recognize and feel how they are entangled with that of others too. There is some primal drive that moves through and for me, activated only by the call of gathering.
This is not some self-sacrificial reframing; it’s a remembrance of how our enoughness & resilience is embedded within our autonomous co-existence.
And to be frank, this is a big part of why I started Remembership; a space to practice this very reconciling of these buried truths that are so much bigger than they appear on screen.
The kind of feelings and realizations I’ve only been able to feel in meditation halls and intimate zoom rooms lovingly held… they’re not coincidental and cannot be replicated, but only consciously cultivated.
So I offer you my version of this refuge in an eco-embodiment community - where we can be self-determinate together; practicing our relationality with the more-than-human world and all that lives within ourselves.
I’m here to help you relieve your overwhelm through this room for returning to your rooted resilience.
See you at our next full Remembership practice sessions: May 14th @ 8pm ET & May 28 @ 5pm & every other Wednesday after then!
(we rotate live times, and your vote for which times you prefer affect what i choose!)
and know that you’ll also receive weekly prompts, bi-weekly pauses for presence + monthly astro-tarot calendars + readings when you join.
in full transparency, this group is currently very tiny, which means plenty of room for you! its beauty is spaciousness & intimacy, but invites you in to grow with us alongside humble beginnings. :) i made the current exchange as low as possible ($22/mo) until we reach our first 20 members, and then it will likely increase for new folks only and/or have a cap so it never grows past a threshold of overwhelm.
In grounded gratitude,
p.s. did you know you get the next 5 months in Remembership FREE when you join the Embodied Ecosystems Experience? that includes WEEKLY live & recorded practice instead of bi-weekly throughout July & August.
and yes the Embodied Ecosystems TarOracle deck is here & actively shipping 😍
if you’ve received yours I cannot wait to hear what you think!
