The Vision for Embody More Love: Rooted & Global

I'm starting a new section in my newsletter called Global. Here's the vision behind it.

I know some of you don't live near me in Sebastopol, CA. Goodness I wish many of you did. Recently I’ve been receiving multiple requests a day to tour my work. I’m very grateful to experience these warm invitations & I find myself gently declining most of them. While pre-pandemic I used to regularly tour across the U.S. & Europe, I’m intentionally holding a different vision now.

🌱 THE NEW VISION: ROOTED 🌱

In 2022, I chose to root myself in Sebastopol, CA to grow a local community. I cherish the depth of work that can happen in a small dedicated group over 3 to 12+ months. In the field of intimacy, I felt incoherent teaching on tour for a day or week & then never seeing the same group again. At best I had certain hubs across the U.S. that I would return to yearly, hoping to make a long lasting impact & build relationship with a place. Now, I truly want to grow a local village here. We are 2 years in, starting our 4th cohort of PLAY this fall. We are building a community of grads & PLAY level 2 is on the horizon for next year!

This work is giving us a secure attachment as a group, that supports new levels of intimacy with ourselves & each other. It’s supporting my students to start aligned partnerships after years of nomadic festival hopping. It’s nourishing & clarifying the relationships my students have with their nearest & dearest. It’s giving me a new depth of intimacy with myself, my partner, my local friends, the land & river I live with…which gives me a more rooted & integrated place to teach from. If you're in the larger Bay Area, I hope you will join us for PLAY.

🦋 THE NEW VISION: GLOBAL 🦋

I also want to continue serving the global community I engaged with before 2020. I'm excited for the values & models I'm creating in intimacy education, dance rituals & creating village to inspire communities all over this sweet earth.

I’ve created a new model that allows me to do both! Globally, I offer 3 live workshops each month online. You may join a la carte or join my patreon to get a really good deal. This makes it very affordable for you. It grows a community that repeatedly comes to workshops so we can offer series & grow more advanced skills! It also creates more sustainability for me. 2024, is my 25th anniversary of Embody More Love! Your ongoing financial support as patreons supports me to continue offering innovative & transformative work.

I have also created the Sacred Learning Center, an archive of my core workshops & performance rituals! One of the patreon tiers, the Heart Opener, includes unlimited access to the whole Sacred Learning Center. I want these embodied & relational skills to be widely accessible! I'll be sharing the online classes in the GLOBAL section of my newsletter.

Whether you're rooting with me in the larger Bay Area, or joining the global community, thank you for embodying more love with me.
