Mixed media on paper 2017
I was speaking to a friend recently about structure — in the context of astrology, actually. We were talking about the planet Saturn, and it got me thinking about the feminine side of Saturn, and the feminine side of structure itself.
Today, in this weaving of the feminine into our society, I feel we’re being asked to find a structure that is intrinsic to the feminine. We are so used to structure being external and rigid — like a crane, a skeleton, or a house — something built out of material, angles, and sharp edges. And for many years, especially with the rise of yoga in our culture, we applied this idea of structure even to our spiritual lives. I know I have. To some degree, that was needed: a supportive structure can be crucial.
But now, it feels like life is asking for a deeper integration. We’re being invited to imagine a structure that is fully integrated into matter, into the feminine itself. One of the metaphors I hold is the structure of water: water can adapt to any external shape while still holding its essence. It’s flexible, alive, and always true to itself.
I feel this is a powerful way to reimagine structure, especially when it comes to our spiritual practices. Instead of practices that simply hold us in a particular form, what are the practices that help us embody our essence — in any moment, in any environment?
Last year, I heard something that really shifted my thinking: Prune Harris, a shamanic practitioner, said a practice is truly effective when it changes your state of consciousness from A to B. If you have to keep doing the same practice for 40 years without any permanent shift, then it isn’t actually transforming your internal structure — your internal waters.
Another metaphor that has been alive for me lately is plasma — that iridescent light, that living, shimmering field. It feels like such a potent way to think about the energy body — fluid, luminous, and always alive with possibility.
These are some of the explorations I weave into my offerings with The Well 1-1. In my 1:1 work, we explore these themes energetically and through personalized guidance to help you reconnect with your own intrinsic structure and essence.
I also guide a deeper exploration through my course Radical Care, a week-long journey into simplicity, energetic hygiene, and the esoteric imprint in daily life — helping you reshape your inner waters and influence the subtle layers of your being.
This is just a little introduction to the living questions I’m holding right now — and the invitations I’m extending through my work
