Men Doing the Work 🏗️😎
Here we are, together, on the Land,
Laying the foundation for our future generations,
Listening deeply to the prayers once spoken here,
Taking action towards relationship that feels more real than the ideals we are sold on screens,
the Men are building, A sacred container to hold the journey from resistance to love,
Together holding honorable depth and capacity to navigate the scary parts in between,
The Next chapter has begun,
Here we are, together, on the land,
Men doing the work.
Burning sage before welcoming people into the circle to ensure that there isn’t any old / stagnant energy lingering in the space.
We set ourselves up for a clean experience every single time. 😎

There’s something so real about this—the way we can know that something is holding us back and still find ourselves returning to it because it’s familiar, safe, and comfortable.
Yet change is all there is, and it asks something quite big of us: not just a new behavior or a different choice, but a willingness to be seen in the messy becoming.
Change often asks us to step into the unfamiliar without knowing who we’re growing into. And the resistance to that is information. Maybe it’s the self asking to be met with more tenderness, presence, and support—an invitation to really stay with ourselves through the change.

Somatic Breathwork on Zoom is honestly a cheat code. You receive deep healing and profound spiritual insights, all from the comfort of your own home.
Yes, that is right. Comprehensive positive results for every person who engages with this practice.
Some common effects of just one online session are:
- Feeling lighter
- Stress reduction
- Inner peace
- Clear thinking
- Positive outlook on life
- Clarity about what is next

In this episode, I’m talking with @breathing.aaron , who is a space holder and breathwork facilitator here in Portland and we cover a lot of ground: change, worthiness, what it looks like to actually take up more space in your own life.
Aaron’s path has been a roundabout one. He came up through the creative and advertising world, but kept finding doors closed to him, so he eventually had to ask: how much of yourself do you shrink just to fit in somewhere?
That question opens into an honest conversation about overgiving, people-pleasing, and the loneliness that builds when you’re always the one holding space for everyone else. We talk about learning to name what you need, and how surprisingly hard that is, even with the people closest to you.
We also get into enoughness, old patterns showing back up uninvited, and why meeting hard emotions with some hospitality goes a lot further than trying to rush them out. Plus: how to stay grounded when the news cycle feels like a lot, and why in-person community feels more important than ever.
This is a raw and beautifully imperfect conversation about getting to know ourselves deeply, leading more visibly and being seen before we feel totally ready.
I hope you enjoy it!

Hey Friends 🌿
We’re leaving the city and bringing our Somatic Breathwork Ceremony to the Land in Corbett, OR for the very first time.
If you’ve never been, Corbett is a small town just 25 minutes from Portland. I call it the front door to the Columbia River Gorge — where winding roads, farms, forests, and creeks flow into the Sandy River. It’s a place that reminds me exactly why I chose to call Oregon home 10 years ago.
Our intention for this Breathwork Ceremony is Deep Listening.
Asking ourselves: What is yearning to be met within me? What part of me fears the rejection that comes with choosing greater Self-Honoring and Alignment?
The answers become so much clearer when we physically remove ourselves from the constant noise of the city.
Here, we create the space to receive the instructions that were always meant for us. 🌬️
