Yes I Already Posted This

I sent out this video announcement earlier today and then deleted the post. Here’s why.

Reason number one: vulnerability. It’s much easier for me to show up here through words. That’s been my way since the beginning of the beginning of the end. Writing has always felt like a safe rebellion, a place where I can bare my soul without showing my human face. But to actually appear, to speak, to move, to let you see me as I am, that’s uncomfortable. Yet I want that. I want warmth, connection, humanness. I want you to feel me, not just read me. Even if I am, apparently, “hard to know.”

Reason number two: there was a part I wanted to edit out. I said something was “more sacred.” What the fuck does that even mean? Everything is sacred. Equally, inherently, by virtue of being alive. So when you get to that part, just roll your eyes, slap me through the screen, and move on.

Finally, I want to clarify what’s next. The first Mothers’ Cauldron Circle is open and free to all mothers. An open fire for whoever feels called. After that, the monthly circles will be for paid subscribers only, limited to 13 mothers per circle, myself included. If more than 12 join, I’ll open another circle. We keep it intimate. Always 13 around the fire. Except for this first one.

So here it is. Unedited, imperfect, human. If you want the logistical details, they’re written out here. I would love to see you there.
