a collision of beauty and dreams and passion tickets go live on Friday SAVE THE DATE 🪻 july 18 & august 8 📍Loving Kindness Lavender Farm

Will and ambition and force are no match for the universal timing of all things. This week I found out that my lease bid for @elsewhereinbend didn’t get accepted. And while I navigate the frustration that comes with being told no, I also realize that particular iteration of this project was not meant to be expressed in that way. I know for sure that the land and the land stewards that will hold ELSEWHERE will be a enthusiastic, full body YES when the skill and resources and energy are all aligned. I’m honoring that the work of community building and being in service has an energy and spirit and flow of its own… and my job is to dance with it. I see this as a beautiful reminder to return deeper into my own practices, listen to tea, trust nature, and allow things to work out without my desires getting in the way. and that’s what movement does. that’s what tea does. it makes space. Space to shed tunnel vision and deliberately widen of our imaginative aperture. Space to attune to possibilities and opportunities in unconventional formats. Space to release the attachment to how and when we want things to go. Space to listen, be with what is, and keep dreaming. ౷ Also, *note to self and anyone else devoted to creating: how boring to get what you want on the first try (or even the second). The plot wants some character building. Keep going.

this is what happens when women come together. there’s this energetic feeling of safety. a subconscious alleviation of pressure. we suddenly allow ourselves to drop all the way in to surrender, and to feel. last night was part one of our two part sensualitea series. we laughed, cried, drank tea, danced, but most importantly, we allowed ourselves connection. this week was all about coming into your own body, and giving yourself pleasure - next week we will be more focused on sharing that pleasure with those around us and learning the language of shibari. we have a few open spots left for this session as well as an opportunity for trade ! feeling the call to embody your sensuality as a woman? we’ve got the space for you 🌺❤️ #bendoregon #womensevents #sensuality #tantra #womenretreats

maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else out there get absolutely BLISSED OUT when they find a really good nature treasure? today this felled lichen-covered ancient juniper twig made me big happy on my morning hike. gratitude for the immense beauty held in smallest things. where are you finding your glimmers of joy lately? i wanna hear about your happy little moments. ✨

well i can honestly say this is the fieriest start to a solar cycle i’ve ever experienced… fire horse, new moon, spring bloom, seven planets in aries, lol message received and hottttness being channeled. ❤️‍🔥 in retro, this was a spicy growth year for me - you know, heavy on the paradox of life and whatnot. i flirted with my inner edges and side-quested my way into building a more aligned vision for my life (and not without a triple dash of energetic whiplash). but im still here, and grateful for all of it - the chaos and clarity… even the new grey hairs ive earned along the way. what a gift it is to grow older, to love beautiful friendships into existence, to sing to the river, to make music with my homegirls, to know myself better, to watch sunsets and moonrises, to eat nourishing foods, to dance and laugh with my whole body, to use my voice for the good of all beings. i’m going into 36 with an open heart and stoked to see what this vessel of mine can do next. thanks for journeying with me. bring on the fire. 🔥

my annual growth symbol for this upcoming year is the hanged man… so needless to say i’ve been gearing up to receive some major shifts in perspective. one of the things i have been examining lately are my “routines” - specifically how can i more intentionally start my days and my weeks so i can be my most baddie-est self. while hyping myself up with lists and structure are typical this time of year and have usually been my go to approach in the past (thanks capricorn moon), i’m noticing that the rigidity and the “to-do list” nature of that mindset kinda makes my life feel like a chore… and ew. so i’m revisiting this shift through the lens of ritual: ୭ how do i want to feel? (energized and connected to my body) ୭ what are the habits I want to make a part of my life? (resetting my space on sundays) ୭ how can I make that action feel more magical/pleasurable/sacred? (light some incense and dance my ass off) message received: choose devotion over discipline ✨✌🏽

the highlight reel was cute and all, but tbh this year delivered some tough lessons, heartache, big grief, and fiery rage from growing pains in my personal life and macro-level fractures… looking back it was all medicine, clarifying what’s worth getting a little banged up for cheers to more cruisin’ and less bruisin’ in 2026

A U T U M N • 2 0 2 5 the nexus of the collective. hot damn. (1/2) ELSEWHERE. so many beings came together to make this gathering possible, my heart still quivers when i think back on the day - a culmination of love, gratitude, trust, expansion, saying yes. it’s hard to put into words how BIG of a moment this was for me and our community. the my highlight of my year. @elsewhereinbend 📸 @amartiansgarden (3) shared tea during a heart-opening dance for the 11.1 portal/día de muertos with @kalpa_vision and @iamrabellion (4) went to joshua tree on my first family trip since childhood - climbed rocks, sun soaked, hung out with big j trees, and lots of poolside chillin’ (5) HELLA side quests! • first harvest from my backyard garden - tons of san marzanos • SF trip with my brother to see @griz • learned how to bead - courtesy of @miigwetch_designs • FINALLY found a hand pan @rhythmtraders in PDX • got to live out my j.lo dreams and planned a friend’s wedding • explored rage & love with @tangled.roots @pineandprismwellnessco … and that’s a wrap - i have so much love for you all and am so stoked to be doing life with you. see you in 2026! 💜

S U M M E R • 2 0 2 5 the fire was burnin’ and the energy was high. lots of heart work and serious fun. i felt so held and inspired by community and got to deepen so many new friendships. (1) @templeofbelonging … just wow. 5 days in the woods with 300+ women was such a wild experience! softening, learning, and tending.
