Playing with Fire: Offering Healing At The Intersection of Religion and Sexuality
Taking space is crucial for creativity, which is why I initiated a 2-month Facebook and phone detox in January.
I was 6 months into learning about myself and clients through relationship and feminine healing coaching. These 2 months offered the the courage and clarity for hosting a mastermind on the intersection of religion and sexuality.
Did you know learning to make fire was one of the things that set humans apart from animals early on?
Yet one of our most stated phrases when something feels unsafe is: “don’t play with fire.”
So let me ask: What if we as humans hadn’t ever chosen to play?
Fire can cause extraordinary pain. Even images of fire, when used to inflict fear, can torment a person.
But fire can also be a healing force. A transforming force. An illuminating force.
Fire can alchemize.
Fire can preserve, produce, and induce action.
It can also burn, scar and kill.
I have long feared speaking about religion, sexuality and especially their intersection, publicly.
And yet, the nudges of life tend to get loudest when we are avoiding them.
And so I felt them, heard them, avoided, and listened until I felt deep enough in my journey into either and my own support to help others to “play with fire.”
So I come to the table with this offer with humility, love, and also fear. But over the years I have been led over and over to believe fear, when it is fear in awe, in wonder, in amazement, is one of love’s truest forms.
We are most locked out of what we are most afraid to go into.
At this stage what we should most be afraid of, is what shallow fears hold all of us back from discovering the depths of what is meant to serve us.
The birth of Liberatory Love, is not just a coaching method, it’s an energy. An energy that I am allowing my life to be the hearth for.
I cannot live without the heat of my fire. And that fire is sustained by the earth holding me, and the breath of “God” sending life through me.
I put this word in quotes as a symbol of my coaching container being one where you define or undefine this term for yourself.
I capitalize it to symbolize a recognition of that which sustains my life that is out of my control.
So the discussion of earth, of God, and of the intersection of all of it–my body, this earth, love and mystery, and the social systems that do or do not uplift them–are all called to the table.
And so are you.
In 2024, this is a virtual event. In future, I’ll see you in the forest, on the sand, by the trees. I’ll meet you in a gown or a garden of roses.
For now: I invite you into your own body, to a transmission that will come through a screen, an invitation that will come as a glimmer, a sliver, a whisper, a beckoning into a new way of being with earth, with body, with heart ~ and your own personal awareness around what stops ourdeepest receiving of it all.
If you are seeking the next level of liberation in your relationship to life, love and intimacy, consider joining my workshop Thursday 3/21.
