  • so. damn. good. ♥️ friday night solo chillin' so using this term from now on!!! -------------♥️------------- #Repost @laylafsaad with @get_repost ・・・ So happy to be home!! Grateful for an incredible summer. Thank you all for joining/indulging/experiencing/enJOYing this trip with us. First order of business (after hugging my bed!) is to get some shawarma and kunafa (yum, Arabic food!). Second order of business? To take a few days off social media to relax, replenish and reset. ••• I’ll be taking a few days for a different kind of Joy: JOMO - The Joy Of Missing Out. This is the joy of sleeping, resting, soaking in a bath, reading a good fiction book, journaling, staring into space, Netflix-ing and quiet. After an epic (and busy!) summer vacation, it’s just what the doctor ordered. See you all on the flip side ✌🏽😁 ••• 📷: repost @reigningwomen
  • Ravin Medicine within my skin: love and magic, shape-shifting form from formlessness, journeyer into the void where all possibility lives... Shadow walker, guardian of vision, trickster, playful time-bender and keeper of secrets. Transformer. Retreat from the chatter and noise. Embracer of solitude. One who walks with death and rebirth and the light within the darkness... Ravin medicine dancing with the moon: She of grounded calm, steady, stable. Grandmother. Reflector of light and the realm between consciousness and unconsciousness. Keeper of time. Protector and guardian of the earth, tides, rains, waters and seasons... She who illuminates all things wild. When the moon is steady the sun(son) will rise. ♥️ Thank you @bradnon_art for the gift of your art and presence. I am so grateful for you being in the world. Thank you for your creativity, patience, generosity and care with my lion cub and I as you inked our skin together. You are the only one we wanted to share this experience with. I genuinely love you. #wildhearthealingarts #ravenmedicine #mammaandson #moonmagic #anotherworldispossible _____________\\\♥️\\\____________ #Repost @bradnon_art ・・・ raven feather moonscape, designed on the spot for my dearest yogi momma @wild_heart_healing_arts <> #raven #raventattoo #ravenfeather #feather #feathertattoo #featherart #spiritanimal #poweranimal #crescentmoontattoo #crescentmoon #witchy #witchcraft #geometrictattoo #visionaryart #linework #lineworktattoo #dotwork #dotworktattoo #stippling #stipplingtattoo #finelinetattoo #delicatetattoo #fantasyart #fantasyartwork

  • Our brains are hard-wired for mimicry. ⠀ Whether we are conscious of it or not, we are learning from, engaging with and neurologically mirroring each others behaviors, thoughts, and emotions all the time. When we see the surprise, joy, ecstasy or grief on the faces of those around us, we often feel the associated pleasurable or painful emotions as if they were happening to ourselves. ⠀ We are highly complex social animals that are neurologically built to observe, learn from, connect and empathize with the lived experience of those around us. ⠀ We need spaces for collective celebrations and mournings to see and feel our own experiences of love and loss reflected back in our beloved community. Shared reality, collective joy and communal grief rituals return us to a sense of our wholeness and give us access to our full humanity. ⠀ ps. My bestie @bailsofun turned 40 a few weeks ago. For over 20 years we have held each others histories of heartbreak, revery, new life, hopes, fears, longings and loss. Having her in my life makes the experience of being in a body more real.♥️ ⠀ ⠀ #mirrorneurons #celebratelife #bestiesforlife #belovedcommunity #weneedeachother #ritual #wildhearthealingarts ⠀ 📷 credit: © Aurelia D'Amore Photography

  • Here’s why I care so much. ⠀ You. fucking. matter. ⠀ We need you here. ⠀ Whole, alive, vital and taking a strong clear stand for all that is precious to you. Beneath anger and rage there is ALWAYS pain. ⠀ We need you here, connected to your body, your sense of agency AND solidly informed by your intuition and inner wisdom. ⠀ We live in a world that has taught us to ignore the brilliance of our bodies so that we don’t notice the ache of conforming, the trauma of collective oppression, the loss of healthy ecosystems and thriving communities. ⠀ ⠀ We need you here, whole, alive and speaking up. ⠀ Consider your impact on the world. ⠀ We need you here infusing your magic back into the matrix, interrupting domination culture and using your power to amplify love in the world in a way that creates more equity, compassion, artistry and care. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #getfree #yourvoicematters #risingup #yogainaction #wildhearthealingarts #centralcoastcalifornia #givelove #bethechange #youmatter ♥️

  • = Reclaim Pride = ⠀ Who you love and how you love is as valid and natural as breathing. ⠀ I am not in the business of proscribing how anyone does love and/or sex short of championing consent, autonomy and mutual respect. ⠀ I do make it my business to encourage us all to care for each other well and to ensure the spaces I occupy are life affirming and inclusive. ⠀ Each day is an opportunity for reckoning. Reckoning with our collective legacy of oppression for those who live and love outside of cis-gendered, heteronormative, monogamy based, binary norms around sexuality and gender. ⠀ In this lifetime, how can we each actively love in a way that daily creates more freedom for all? ⠀ I'm a fan of examining and interrogating social norms & beliefs about sex, gender, race, white-skin privilege, sexual orientation, patriarchy, gender conditioning, ablism and mono-normativity. ⠀ When we’re willing to honestly, openly and unflinchingly look at our biases, beliefs, values, and how we came to adopt them, we inevitable come out more open, accepting and loving on the other end of that shaking loose of societal conditioning. It's a choice. ⠀ Let's choose this. 🙏🏼♥️ ⠀ Wherever you stand with your particular positionality, I pray that we meet in love. ⠀ If you need a hand with acceptance, I got 'cho. ⠀ Let's be more human together. ♥️ ⠀ https://www.wildhearthealingarts.com ⠀ #reclaimpride #slolife #closetohome #pride #lgbtqpride #wildhearthealingarts #queertherapist #socialjusticewarriors #slopride #loveislove
