Hello sweet soul,

Sheesh, where have I been?! It's been two months since my last video transmission to you.

Well, there's been a lot. I'd like to tell you about it through text and photos. There's even a playlist for your own inner pilgrimage.

This is the time where you grab a cup of tea or, better yet, Cacao. I'll be right here when you get back.

When I last shared a transmission, I was half way through a sacred space yoga teacher training. I had hoped to become a yoga teacher in 2024 but my ankle surgery curtailed my plans.

I decided to join a training at a yoga studio near my home in Austin, Texas, and it was my best decision of 2025.

It taught me more than asanas. It brought me back into my body, to dive deeper into what embodiment means to me in a time when so many of us stay at the surface. Because it often feels safer to stay at the surface.

It can be painful to go deep…

Into the fascial of the body.

Into the wounds beneath the emotions.

Into the truth within the heart.

The training taught me how to do less and say less… and simply be more.

There was so much energy within our group of ten sweet souls. I could feel so many feelings, I could hear what was not being said.

There was so much energy within our group of ten sweet souls. I could feel their feelings, I could sense their pain, I could hear what was not being said.

And so, the path called me to go within and allow it all. To be, to receive, to witness, to learn. It has been, no doubt, the biggest gift of officially becoming a yoga teacher.

Before the training began, I heard a call to return to a sacred spot in New Mexico as a means to escape Austin's grueling summer heat. So I reserved my favorite Airbnb in the world and just continued with training.

But the deeper I went into my body, the more I heard…

First, I heard the call to use the time away to finish writing my book—I'll tell you about that in the future.

Second, I heard the call to join a pilgrimage to Guatemala. I don't know where this initiation path leads exactly but I'd like to share that journey with you after the trip, later this year.

Third, I heard the call to leave Texas. It was great but by 2026, I will be in a climate with four seasons so I can be outside more—breathing cool air, exploring trails, communing with nature, listening to the land.

Once I made those decisions, much of the rest of the story dropped in.

Because once we choose more of ourselves—once you choose to see more of yourself—your life will vibrate at a frequency that calls in even more of your fate, even more of your gifts.

And when fate and free will collaborate, your highest and best path emerges.

I am a Leo rising and many believe that anyone with all this fire energy needs to be on a stage.

And while that may be true in part—I will tell more of my stories on a stage someday—Leo's are far more focused on the satisfaction of creative expression.

So I've used Leo season to evaluate all the ways I express myself in the world and you'll notice some refinements forthcoming.

Yes, I'll keep sharing—through stories, videos, audio—but I'm also attuning to the core of what I'm here to do.

Sure, I'm an oracle and channeler. I'm a ceremonialist. I'm a writer and storyteller. I'm a sacred business alchemist and entrepreneur. I'm an ancestral medium and land reader. I'm a soul mirror and catalyst.

But… I'm also just a girl so connected to her truth that she can't help but reflect and reveal truths from this and all dimensions.

If I am asked, I can't help but share what is revealed to me by our ancestors.

In fact, just before I started my summer road trip, we had a powerful “13” day in the Mayan Sacred Calendar.

Every thirteen days, the veil between dimensions is the thinnest. On this particular “13” day, so many people asked for guidance.

One by one, they laid their questions on the altar between us.

One by one, an ancestor moved through me, blending with my own Soul's love, to offer perspective, to cut to a truth of the matter.

In one case, the woman who mows my lawn waited for me to return home and asked if she could talk to me.

She said, “I was hoping to see you today.” Continuing, she offered through tears, “My father died two Fridays ago and I need to know if he's okay and if his passed family are being nice to him on the other side.”

I said, “Sweet girl, I'm so sorry but I don't normally do this on the spot.”

And yet, in that moment, an ancestor (who I felt as her father) moved through me, lighting up the right side of my body.

I said again, “I don't normally do this but he's here so I need to tell you what we're all really worried about…”

“He's not worried about him,” I continued. “He's worried about you.”

Through tears—hers and mine—I offered her messages to calm her fears, to allow her pain, to understand why she was moving through this stretch of grief now, at such a young age.

She admitted, “I spend most mornings crying in the shower.”

I said, “That's exactly what you're meant to be doing right now. You cry. You cry all the tears. And then, once you've integrated those tears, you will know what to do next. There is no rush. You are meant for some big work in this world and it will find you in perfect timing.”

We hugged. We cried. I sent her off with a hot cup of Cacao to hold her heart.

This—and a series of similar conversations—has convinced me that there is no other time to share compassionate revelations than right now.

It spurred me to introduce an offering that dropped in earlier this year. It's called The Altar Sessions.

This offering may not be for everyone.

It is for those of you who wish to enhance or skip years of counseling to get to the heart, a truth, of a matter, in kind and compassionate space with me.

It is for those who are actively in participation with their journey of becoming.

It is priced in accordance with the deep revelation it offers and with reverence to my lineage who did not experience safety and security in their lifetimes.

I will not be promoting it widely, yet.

It's only available to those in the know here, on this list.

If you hear a call to The Altar Sessions and are experiencing earthly constraints, reach out. Alternative payment options may be possible.

While driving through the wilds of West Texas last week, I experienced some new revelations of my own.

As some of you know, I've designed food markets in the wonkiest of places, in buildings that have been in place for a hundred years or more. As well, I've held ceremonies and circles on the most vibrant and alive telluric spaces.

A few hours west of Fredericksburg, Texas, I encountered a strange sensation on the land around Fort Stockton, Texas.

This stretch of highway is filled with abandoned towns, once prized oil towns, now left to wither after all their oil was extracted after the rush of the 1930s.

As I drove across this land, I felt a denseness in my body, like a feeling of being dragged down, pulled, by something that was forgotten.

I dropped in and felt not the ancestors exactly, but the land. The barren, beige land around me that appeared dead was in fact connecting with me.

I heard a message that went something like this, “We have been forgotten but we are still deeply alive. They took the oil, what was obvious, but they left a soul, a soul of a land, that still wishes to be in communion with aliveness.”

I remember feeling sad and lonely. I could separate it from my own feelings but it was still quite powerful. I sent the land love from all dimensions.

And then, I took a turn in the highway and went southwest, toward Marfa, Texas, and that's when the wildest message came forward.

I'll tell you about that message in my next note.

You know, I had often wondered why I was drawn to certain places or venues. So once I arrived to the end of that day's drive, I asked the ancestors about this strange new gift.

I can hear the ancestors, and I have for a long time. But to hear the earth was wildly different.

They said, “You are learning what you share firsthand. Once you choose to see more of yourself, more of your fate and more of your gifts meet you.”

“You are a land reader,” they continued. “This is part of following the call. You can hear the people of a land—present and passed on—but even more precious is… you can hear the land itself."

"You are someone who can perceive geological memory and energetic signatures of landscapes.”

This was a revelation to me and one that comes with great responsibility. Because to hear a land, to hear the earth, invites you into a kind of reciprocal relationship that demands your care, your consideration, your compassion.

I do not know what I will do with this gift or how it wishes to live through me, except that I heard a call to offer a Cacao Journey on a new land next month.

The land is called Stardreaming in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's a sacred site created by visionary artist James Jereb. It consists of 16 open air temples and labyrinths, built with over 800 tons of stones.

I will arrive to the land early to meet with it before conducting a journey there. This event is for participants in the High Desert Human Design Conference but I’ll open a few spots, as available, for members of my community.

I am on a distinct pilgrimage for the rest of the summer to find my new home, my next home, on land that wishes to work together, on land that I have come to discover has “claimed” me.

I'll tell you more about that soon, too.

Would you like to join me metaphorically?

Here is the music that has held me through this journey. So far, it's 3.75 hours of tunes in resonance with the vastness of New Mexico all on Spotify. I will continue to add to it throughout my journey.
