D I V E R S I T Y A study conducted in 2018 7.6 billion humans = .01 % of world’s biomass on earth ... BIOMASS 82 % plants 13 % bacteria 4 % animals Since civilization we’ve wiped out : 83% of wildlife 50% of plants What’s left ... Of the Mammals of Earth 60 % are livestock 36 % are Humans 4 % Wild What’s left ...

What’s been lost to capitalization? Industrialization ? Globalization? Colonization? Slavery? How much has of our humanity has been lost for a imperialistic mono-culture ?

Full Moon In Gemini & Penumbral LUNAR Eclipse Full Moon Comm(unity) ritual with myself and @ourcolourfulyoga Sunday, Nov 29 7:30-9:00pm $11 (included in OCY Membership) What does well-being FEEL like when it includes everyone with transformative action?... Wholeness is Wellness and wellness can be revolutionary These and many more questions aim to recognize that wellness isn’t a one-size fits all kind of approach. It is recipe that you craft based on the intersections of your needs and the way you wish to serve in the world. We are shifting from individual consumption to collective consideration, when we are truly WELL we go beyond the surface to heal deeply, not just for one’s self but generationally and socially. Reclamation of one’s wholeness is revolutionary because when you transcend the oppressive dogma of fear, self-interest, unworthiness, and scarcity, you create something new worth living for that’s good for all of us. Wholeness is togetherness, we learn how to embrace the ways in which solidarity is what makes us whole, the connection and reciprocity of loving, expressing, belonging, and giving to others helps us to feel complete. Please bring a journal, props to sit on, coziness to move and release in, & candle to the ritual. Register - link in bio #ritual #fullmoon #gemini

Anchored and Activated 33 minutes of embodied activism Channel what you are feeling and anchor into your body. Presence the innate power inside and all around - be open to it’s pleasure. ... Steady the course for our highest collective vision and root it down into the earth, make it real and breathe it alive. Like a tree, you can grow in the most unfriendly terrain sharing information with all the elements, helping even the most barren land to regenerate. Like the sun, you are activated and pulsating with the universal creative energy of Kundalini Shakti, but where are you directing that power? It’s time, dear friends to install the codes of consciousness into our body, work, relationships, and purpose. Based on the ancient tantrik shakti ritual of Mantra-Nysa + ucchara practices of the original kundalini yoga, we will explore the sensual vibrating pulse of eros, the cosmic love-play of the universe. We’ve been conditioned to ascend the body, but we are actually created to awaken embodied in this realm at this exact evolutionary catalyst, we are the Age of Aquarius. Join for free for an initiatory session: November 11 at 11 am (EDT). The complete series will continue every Wednesday at 11 am till December 30, 2020 for 8 weeks in total. Practice livestream or a recording will be sent to you to practice at anytime. Inspired by Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by adrienne maree brown: We’re not meant to suffer alone. We’re meant to experience pleasure and togetherness. So I just wanted to ask you, how are we present in our collective bodies? How are we present and excited and letting the erotic come open in us today? Especially when it makes sense to respond with a lot of fear right now, and yet the call of the erotic, of the yes, is still clarion. It’s still so available. Even Now... ~ @adriennemareebrown Link in bio Photo by @biancadjardins #activation #anchored #kundalinishakti

Move your feet when you pray ~ African Proverb quoted from the revolutionary, late congressman John Lewis: When we were sitting in, it was love in action. When we went on the freedom ride, it was love in action. The march from Selma to Montgomery was love in action. We do it not simply because it’s the right thing to do, but it’s love in action. That we love our country, we love a democratic society, and so we have to move our feet. As an American, tomorrow’s elec...tion day is filled with fear and faith, I am holding the highest frequency for the people to vote consciously and enact the change necessary to end oppression, racism, social injustices, and moral prosecution. My heart breaks a hundred times a day with the conflicting political propaganda, but there is also a growing steadiness that is anchored in love. There is a resilience inside that believes it’s already happened, that we’ve all woken up to possibility for our true togetherness. I am inspired by the ways activists pray with their feet, bringing their bodies to the frontlines, this belief propels my actions. I use the practices of Kundalini Illuminated to prepare and discipline myself to hold visionary equity endlessly, I do what I can, and we must all do what we can. John Lewis for Freedom, I wanted to believe, and I did believe, that things would get better. But later I discovered, I guess, that you have to have this sense of faith that what you’re moving toward is already done. It’s already happened. We are still marching for Black Lives Matter. We must keep marching. And WE ARE GROWING First of all, you have to grow. It’s just not something that is natural. You have to be taught the way of peace, the way of love, the way of nonviolence. And in the religious sense, in the moral sense, you can say in the bosom of every human being, there is a spark of the divine. So you don’t have a right as a human to abuse that spark of the divine in your fellow human being. J.L I am not gonna give up on humanity, no matter the outcome of the election.

Oh sacred yew how I love you though you bring on death your strength is timeless ... this photo was taken last year at these exact times in the portal of samhain - all hallows eve - here on the ancient lands of the sacred abbey where Mary Magdalena found refuge and the fairies of the fey opened my eyes to trust the darkness I walked the shadowy passages of Avalon in modern Glastonbury with a coven of priestesses who’s magic is woven into the very thread of my being unbeknownst to some we broke into the abbey a night to walk the ley lines of the earth under the cloak of darkness to face the shadows of our ancestors and heal our wounds. There are times in life where you may consciously or unconsciously cross a threshold, and never be the same again ... descending into your depths is challenging I wouldn’t be smiling so much if it wasn’t for my sxsters who held my hand through a year and a day, and endlessly today this powerful priestess path with @siannasherman became a lifetime calling and I am forever grateful to the divine feminine who show’s up in all of us through myriads of magic and mystery. commencing samhain, I will be co-creating with @leilasadeghee, and other powerful women of colour facilitators to unite our passions and circle together may it overflow into a vessel of worth for all of us tomorrow 10/30 at midnight is the last chance to sign-up for our Vessel of Worth journey till next year if your heart quickens to the priestess path, I invite you to release the shore you’re holding onto and set sail with us, you’ll never be the same again but I think that’s a good thing blessed be dearest ones magic is afoot the spirits are whispering wake my child death is part of the cycle fear sometimes is less of what you’ll lose and more of the extraordinaryness of what you gain. with love kimiko www.vesselofworth.com/vow #priestess #magic #ritual #journey #feminine #mystic #sxsterhood #womenofcolor

In the ways of ZEN practicing how to unlearn is a core teaching that helps one experience a state of flow without mental concepts that cloud our vision. I have found that the mystical is a continual space of unlearning and speaks through the language of listening. ... Words often trap what we ‘think’ is possible and in this new vibrational coherence of the Aquarian Age we will be co-creating a new language of art, sound, and presence. Communication transcends what we say and think. Elevating our embodied experience is our collective destiny. ENVISION is a new kind of ritual based on breaking down the old standards of how we practice and create. For months I have been meditating on how to dismantle countless infractions of colonizer mentality on spirit and soul, one answer was to go back to nothingness. Silence. Emptiness. In these rituals we will use practices known and unknown to return to emptiness to be nothing so that we can birth our visions from a clear well of inspiration. We will release our identity to become a vessel and let vibration and presence offer us guidance rather than systems of how and why. This retreat is an invitation to explore with us... to co-create new rituals that breakdown and elevate even the mundane as sacred once again. We are now a Story of the Peoples. When you write, read, say, dance, sing, and speak it’s for us all. Nothing is beyond our infinite particle connection.

the samhain portal continues today marks the exact halfway point between the quarter sun days of fall equinox & winter solstice we are descending into the darkest days of the year in the northern hemisphere before the rebirth of the sun in December equally the night darkens under the waning phases of the moon towards next week’s lunar samhain scorpio new moon ... this, my friends brings on the potency for deep release and reflection this is our soul’s need to heal in the caves of the dark goddess Celtic tradition believes death comes before birth as such the ancients sing and speak of the primordial womb, and Taoist of the nothingness of everything. We are entering the fertile void of infinite potential that gives birth to the light and life is asking us to remember our true nature. Sit with the dying of nature, and honour the ways a leaf curls in on itself, bowing in recognition to its life given grace offering itself once again the compost piles for next spring’s food. As do the elders, whose backs curl around their hearts, like a child in fetal position, spiraling back into the mother. May we not forget the ancient ones, whose blood forms the evolution of our consciousness. May we not forget the necessity and preciousness of death that is essential to life. We grieve these changes, but we also can sing their praise. Join @leilasadeghee & I for a free ritual today at 2:00 pm EDT We’ll ground into our bodies and offer prayers to the past, present, and future collective. We’ll create candle magic to illuminate the darkness and know we do not face this portal alone. We’ll sit together in community as the ancient ones have always done and continue to pass the message of love throughout the all ages.

ARIES FULL MOON MUSE Direct 5:05 pm EDT EVOLUTIONARY EMOTIONS How are you feeling today?... Let’s be real - your automated responses are fake, limiting, regressive, and oppressive If you were to truly tell me what you are feeling I may not have the time, energy, or emotional intelligence to support you - so it’s better for both us to say I’m fine - which deflects any real intimacy, or connect because we don’t have to do THE WORK. We were raised with limited resources to handle the pain and pressure societal standards of politeness and avoidance soul-crush how we truly feel YOU DO NOT NEED TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER authoritative Saturn has gone direct systematic oppression wants you to digress back into old patterns check out or conform settle for the mundane clutch onto archaic medieval illusions of security stay paralyzed by chronic stress above all ignore the warning signs ARIES IS THE WARRIOR but unlike the past your power lies in EMOTIONAL EDUCATION break the rules create emotional self-esteem RECOGNIZE & RESPOND to what’s truly going on FEEL FRIEND FREE Lets finally collectively crawl out of the dark ages liberate past unconscious ancestral conditioning Cross this RITE OF PASSAGE claim your sovereign power EXPRESS OR ADDRESS all the ways you’ve belittled Feeling as frail - irrational - consequential why, who, what are you defending? the main stage is revealing COLLECTIVE TRAUMAS & OUR INCOMPETENCY TO RESPOND WE ARE ALL IN NEED OF PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL HEALING how are you taking care of your psychological and biological chemistry if you’re all good, then call a friend ask them and hold space for a real response.

are you feeling hypersensitive? full moon in aries invitation to ritual and Vessel of Worth https://mailchi.mp/833e26dd7b6b/ariesaura

aries aura full moon ritual Thursday, October 1, 2020 8:00 - 9:30 pm | EDT ... have you been experiencing heighten sensitivity ? are you an empath? has it been challenging to navigate your emotions and discern whether your feelings are personal verses collective? do you feel limited, unsettled, and impatient? are you ready to reset your boundaries and nourish your self? this upcoming full moon in aries is an invitation to strengthen, assert, and heal your emotional body to amplify your auric shields. gather for a kundalini/tantric journey of purification, pranayama, ritual, and visualization to balance your nervous system with self-care. your aura is a projection of core health, when that’s overloaded - energetic fields decrease and become muddied with external influencers. instead of filtering through the discord we absorb it and lose our sense of self and purpose. mars in retrograde is pulling us inward to confront where these energy leaks are taking place and re-fortify our value systems to implement longterm sustainability. it’s time to slowdown and harness the power of your emotions and intuition with empathy and compassion. be cosy and create a personal sacred space to welcome in the power of the moon + sun a recording will be sent that evening after the ritual $11- link in bio #fullmoon #aries #aura #ritual #empath #mars #emotions See more

BE WATER Collective Care for emotional balance. We are water and the air we breathe is full of water. The atmosphere stores, circulates, and transpires water from the seas into clouds, rain, and snow which feed the rivers and lakes that supply our fresh water reserves. There is no boundary between the air/water we take in and the water that surrounds us, just as the cycle of water supports our atmosphere so does it within. ... Our brains are comprised of 75% water, when dehydration slows down circulation we have less oxygen in our body, which can impair cognitive functions, causing fatigue, headaches, decreased concentration, and adverse mood changes that limit our motivation. The chronic state of a malnourished world makes us all crazy. How underfed is your inner ecology? How much water have you drank today to replenish? And more importantly how are you moving and breathing to support the health of your respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, and nervous system to function fluidly? Caring for our emotional wellbeing isn’t just about changing how you think and feel, it’s learning to nourish the systems that are being taxed so that they run smoothly thus influencing how we can shift and respond. The powerful practices of yoga and mindfulness are a crucial tonic to our systemic emotional malaise. Emotions are chemical and behavioural responses to our world. They maintain the social balance of our tribe in who we follow, trust, and care about. Emotions are our motivators. How we feel directs what we do. So what do we do when we feel shitty? Join me for a kundalini illuminated yoga class to use the power of breath and movement to be like water so that we don’t emotionally crash or burn out. Instead learn how to nourish your emotions to flow with the cycle of life from a place of empowerment. 11$ Drop-In Special gift for BIPOC Jump into the full series for 18 x classes to help navigate the mars retrograde pressures that are directly influencing our physical health and emotional instability.

HEALING when we learn to feel again, we heal when I first started my healing practices many years ago, there was a rejection of the word healing, I thought it emphasized our brokenness rather than our inherent wholeness. To some degree this idea numbed my pain. ... As of late, I’ve been feeling into my suffering from a number of maladies to understand the root of cause - which is I can’t separate the material from the spiritual - brokenness is part of the wholeness. There is profound dis-ease and fragmentation, even our souls need healing, they are not immune to sickness. If nature gets sick it adapts to heal that abnormality, likewise spirit does too - healing is evolutionary on all dimensions. Our inseparable connection means we all collectively heal together. In my shamanic practices spirit is channeled to ease suffering, and in reciprocity I create offerings to tend to the spirit’s wellbeing. We are in partnership and exchange. Every healer you meet is not HEALED but in a process of healing with you. We are in cyclical symbiotic dance of receiving and serving. With my sister @leilasadeghee we’ve feel the deep prevalence of unworthiness living us too. But we also know the inherent worthiness of all of us. So in service, we are calling in a sisterhood to heal together, hand and hand with nature + spirit + community, knowing that while everyone must walk their unique healing path we can’t do it alone. I am calling you in as the mother is calling you to hear her song, so that these teachings live onward in our bodies to soothe the pandemonium of our suffering. I invite you to feel for my hand behind your heart. I invite you to reach for the power behind what you are feeling. The greater truth is that you are SHE WHO HEALS. Mother, sing me a song that will ease my pain, mend my broken bones, bring wholeness again. Catch my babies when they are born sing my death song, teach me how to morn. Show me the medicine of healing herbs, the value of spirit, That way I can serve. Mother, heal my heart So that I can see the gifts of yours that can live through me. ~ Jamie Sams vessel of worth link in bio

equity of balance + autumn equinox with Kimiko + Eliza Moore equinoxes mark the point of change in daylight and seasons. ancient civilizations have built temples in alignment to these cosmic pathways with a mystical precision that give us cause to ask - what could they see/know/understand that maybe with even our most advanced technology we are missing... ... maybe the codes we seek to translate these questions lies deep in the equity of our soul? join kimiko + @mofomoore for a journey into the body temples of your being to relax and generate balance through kundalini kriyas and deep relaxation with the live melodic heart-voice of eliza moore. we’ll be practicing near the exact equinox when the sun crosses the earth’s celestial equator at 9:30am (EDT) to move into the autumn harvest of the northern hemisphere. 11$ contribution Link in bio to register - a recording will be sent later that day to practice with at anytime. #equinox #ritual #collectivecare #kundaliniyoga #music #meditation See more

New Moon Muse | 25 ofVirgo Sept. 17th, 2020 at 7am EDT with a super moon everything is in closer proximity ... as if under a magnifying glass the magnitude of what you are feeling is real karma has washed ashore as hurricanes and fires rage chucks of ice caps melting into sea dead zone oceans and millions homeless inhospitable divisiveness and conspiracies have hijacked consciousness we are at an irreversible tipping point on the verge of burn out yet mars in retrograde is slowing down our reaction time for true discernment + course correction Virgo yields messages of care, healing, and earthbound practicality put your dreams into practice and with that comes sacrifice have you noticed how much you’ve changed? your beliefs like science shifted why struggle to uphold old standards ? discernment requires the now, and presence to assess the mess feel where you are today, at this level, can your daily routine sustain your future vision? are the beliefs you carry worthy of passing to the next generation? notice what is demanding your attention right now? does it serve you? the collective ? look deeply behind your provocations what’s really motivating you? release all assumptions that kill collaboration and creativity what would it take for us all to be healthy, happy, and free? These questions I ask myself, I believe we are at cultural crossroads to pivot from the soul and heart takes introspection, hard work, and community.

A Global Mala invitation to place your body before the earth and offer your sadhana in service with others all over the world-PEACE in action. How many times have you asked: what can I do? try shifting your perspective: what can we do? ... Life is global, it’s collective, interconnected, no singular movement will bring about the bio-diverse-nutrient-rich foundation we need to thrive for peace. Look around and see what people and friends are doing, there are fascinating political, cultural, environmental, and social initiatives everywhere that need your support. Join organizations and communities that have already been paving the way with reform and impact. Align yourself with projects that have meaning to you. Donating your money is apathetic if it doesn’t light you up. My sadhana isn’t a practice, it’s a ritual that brings me into a flow of generosity. I break out of the standards into a universal-heart-centered approach that recognizes the value of every little EFFORT as essential. Completing a 108 pranams (prostrations) or mantra practice isn’t easy. By design it tests you, allowing for vulnerability and insecurities to arise to create breakthroughs of insight, endurance, and devotion. Beyond what it does for you, it is a sacred act of dedication for the larger infinite matrix of creation. I invite you to wake-up during the Amrit Vel / Ambrosia hours and breathe alongside the earth for a powerful prayer of gratitude. In these ancient hours of cosmic alignment, we can set the stage for cellular transformation to reveal our highest caliber. On this day, rise at 4:30 am EDT to greet the Montreal sunrise at 6:40 am with 108 Prana Flow Pranams (sourced from my teacher @shivarea108 ) and 108 rounds of the Gayatri mantra to offer your actions to the benefit of all. This is gift, in sacred reciprocity. I encourage you to use the benefits of this exchange towards offering services, time, donations to something that stirs your heart to heal. A recording will be given if you can’t make it live so you can repeat the ritual at anytime. sign up for free recording and zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us//tZEqcuChrjooGdYMPAHU2Oa9ArdPe9VAm love kimiko #peaceday #globalmala #108

attuning to the planets, moons, and stars our ancestors looked to the sky to schedule their calendar according to the degrees of sunlight and moonlight, they knew working with the flow of seasons was smarter than randomly willing our agenda. it’s hard to configure life according to some linear plan based on a western, industrialized propaganda that’s so out of whack. ... our Gregorian calendar is filled with discrepancies that can’t compute the nuances of our earth’s rotation and creates more disruptive chaos than it’s worth. it was created to implement civic duty, manipulate and control globalization, but it overlooked the diverse geographical features of local cultures who lived according to the land and waters. wherever you are on this planet, your locale has its own special timeline. this generic calendar leaves out all the beauty of a day, week, cycle, season. we forget to look and see with our own eyes how life is shifting and speaking to us, guiding us with clues on when to start this new project, rest, or close loose ends. instead, every moment is based on its production value - we work to breathe - and we’re all just scrambling - is that what being civilized means? Have we forgotten that we are part of the ecosystem? Living in cyclical connection is how we flow. for years I’ve looked to the moon and holy days along the wheel of the year to guide my life, and it has made all the difference - it revives the magic of time. I invite you to join me in ritual to learn about biomimicry, how we can learn from nature to craft innovative intentions and projects that flow to grow.

the medicine of sickness for the last few days I was in bedrest with the fever and flu, my negative covid test dispelled fears, ... but my body aches moaned for soul comfort beyond the distress that even herbs, baths, and rest could not cure the body’s intelligence knows how to immobilize you to heal, though your mind resists suffering creates a unique perception that can be transcendent at times after the spanish flu that took the lives of 17 + million in India, and almost Gandhi, who after recovery said it shifted his revolutionary path towards non-violence and peace we can understand how viruses humble us to our humanity and beckon us to feel instead of fight I surrendered to the fires in my homeland of Cali raging, injustices against black lives, corporate pandemic greed, feeling everyone enraged with no end watching our collective pain taunt death to escape from so much horror the grief is overwhelming but my body knew I must trust the whole process, to fully heal so I waited for that moment when the fever broke and a clarity of calm lifted me from sadness. I think learning how to reconcile grief and love in uncertainty is our salutary medicine this collective fever is part of the recovery if all the energy in the universe has already been created destruction becomes transformation death becomes renewal this week in collective care we will use kundalini breathwork and meditation to integrate our grief and fear as part of health and immunity the body doesn’t fight a cold it adapts to produces more nourishment. with love Kimiko #collectivecare #kundaliniyoga #breathwork #healing #grief #fear #love #nourishment #transcendent

Sweet Listening How do we discern what we are feeling collectively verses personally? How do we tend to our personal power so that we can be of support for others when they are in need? ... When irritation rises to the surface, and the mind struggles with disillusionment and intimidation how do we find space to listen to our hearts when everyone’s opinion around us is so loud? when life’s sweet it’s easy to embrace but what happens when shadows turn bitter? and confrontation is necessary can we still yield our softness? Enter the Neverland of this great mystery and like Peter Pan learn to grow up and not turn away from your full humanness we can be courageous and fearful strong and weak joyful and sad and still fly... our emotional intelligence holds the full spectrum of our power offering us the ability to really feel, see, and understand what’s going on if you’re not enraged you won’t change anything the most powerful magic is often small and unnoticeable you can be chaotically calm, quiet and loud swift and slow all at the same time ... tuesday, sept 8 10 -11:30 am (EDT / ZOOM) a kundalini meditative journey into the energy of mars in retrograde for the next 9 weeks to gain clarity and confidence through sweet listening and action for personal and collective reform learn techniques that build character to serve with heart and channel the chi, prana, life-force the abounds in us all. link in bio to sign-up recordings and inspirational email is sent a few hours after with registration love is listening Kimiko #collectivecare #sweetlistening #centered #meditation #loveislistening #kundlainiyoga #restandrenewal #natureisnurture #selfcare #emotionalintelligence See more

The full moon portal reveals the polarities that abound between the practical/logical side of Virgo and our imaginative/intuitive side of Pisces. Instead of thinking these qualities are oppositional, we can hold both as necessary to create sustainable innovations that can serve a better whole. Rather than separating matter/spirit, we embrace the infinite with the finite, we go beyond boundaries, and also affirm boundaries, we seek perfection and also disrupt it. A paradoxi...cal reality is natural. As the mystics said as above so below. Although how much are we willing to go down below? Leonard Da Vinci says,we know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.The soil holds 2/3 of the biodiversity of the planet. Inside the clay of the earthmicro-organisms evolved to create life billions of years ago. Yet we spend $820 Million on rovers to explore Mars, so little is known of our own soil, home, self Shifting perspective to see what'shidden beneath the surface essential inthis transitional age. Unconscious racism surfaces to be healed and dismantled, closed doors of abuse are finally opened so we can ensure standards of accountability to reduce perverse exploitation. We are literally being asked to get our hands dirty. Perhaps our most precious and vital source, both physical and spiritual, is the most common matter underfoot which we scarcely even notice and sometimes call dirt, but which is in fact the mother-lode of terrestrial life and the purifying medium wherein wastes are decomposed and recycled, and productivity is generated. ~ Daniel Hillel, Out of Earth With the Sun & Mercury in Virgo, and 4 other planets in Earth signs, there is emphasis on the resources of our material world. Go into the soil of the soul. Ground down beyond doubt andreverse I think, therefore I am, with the knowing, I am, therefore I think. Clean your mental filters. Let this death cycle decompose our waste, so that we can rebuild. As Mars stations for a 6-week retrograde, retrace your steps and aim to bring fertility back into being, so when the newgrowth cycle begins we have sustainable ground to think from. See more
