There was a time, many years ago, during the heat and ease of Summer
That I fully experienced Life’s many pleasures
Fully and passionately
In complete trust of Life
I wasn’t more than 10 or 11 years old (or maybe it was a mishmash of a bunch of years)
I remember marveling at the lushness of green Nature
Noticing how different the sun appeared in the sky in early morning
Then at noon
and then early evening
Dialing into the most ordinary and simple things with deep awe and respect
Sitting in the grass and
Noticing it’s coolness against my skin
Smelling it
Braiding it
Feeling it’s strength and greenness and texture with my fingers
Being astonished by the beauty and intoxicating fragrance of honeysuckle
Enjoying watermelon as its juice dripped down my chin and hands
Getting relief from the heat by jumping into the pool
Running around the neighborhood with friends for hours until I was exhausted and hungry
Toasting marshmallows at night and being blown away by their transformation into divine deliciousness from the melting heat
And experiencing my first kiss, along with innocent curiosity and the early stirrings of sexual energy ✨
I was blessed to experience pure Summer pleasure
I hooked into Its carefree and limitless expressions so easily back then
This ability to truly Enjoy was innate, instinctive ✨
But as Life handed me challenges throughout my adult life
I learned to disconnect from pleasure
Right along with the pain
And live in a narrow range of “acceptable” stimulation in either direction
Not feeling too much pain or pleasure for fear of overwhelming my body or mind
But the truth is, I’ve made a sacred commitment to grow as a human being
And this means being willing to face pain in order to live a Whole and daring Life
And this means being willing to experience Pleasure too!
This is the pleasure that I connected to and with so easily as my younger Self
And this has become a deep intention that I hold during this most pivot year
And so, in this most delicious month
At this most powerful time—Midsummer
I’m continuing to create a series of seasonal experiences for Sisters that honor and step into the different energies of the cyclical year—all the way from deep shadow work to the ecstasy of Pleasure
For our highest growth 🙌🏻
To celebrate this particular Sun-filled time of heat and ease and bountifulness and Pleasure, I’m creating a free event for Sisters
Which will be held over Zoom this coming Monday, June 21 at 7pm EST
It’s called Incarnating the Goddess—Enjoying Midsummer Pleasure 🍉💦🌅🙌🏻🌺
In this experience we’ll not only learn more about the holiday of Midsummer, we’ll also explore and share and experience Pleasures related to
~The energy of the Sun
~Delicious food
~The magic of Nature
~Our Bodies
~Our Sexuality
~Our Sacredness and the Goddesses of Pleasure and Summer
It would be my honor Sisters, for you to join me this coming Monday to learn surrender to Midsummer Pleasure
As we continue to dance with the Wheel of the Year and its seasons 💃🏻🌅🌹💦❤️

I'm a coach and facilitator of self-empowerment. I specialize in working with those who have experienced Life ruptures (heart-wrenching breakup, job loss, death) and we work together to grow through these ruptures and to create deep intimacy with a partner, a purpose and ourselves
We do this by learning to hold it all—to have deep intimacy with ourselves by holding our shadow and light, masculine and feminine, sacredness and sexuality, with a partner by living our desires for autonomy as well as connection and with purpose by also honoring ecstasy and play and fun
