sweet mama oshun, you are the beacon of Light ✨✨✨

sweet mama oshun, you are the beacon of Light encouraging us to keep onward, keep tending to our paths. tending to our roads. watering our homes. it is ok to gift ourselves with cool waters. it is ok to gift ourselves with sweet honey. it is ok to practice discernment and it is ok to turn our eyes toward ourselves and gift ourselves with renewing energy, with a different perspective. it is ok to hold the waters when we need to call back our energy and it is ok to flow where the space and the rhythm is fertile, àṣẹ. where we are made to feel small, unheard, and not considered is not the way. iya oshun tells us to make sacred the Reciprocity Principle. To honor the Reciprocity Principle.

àṣẹ.

This past Sunday, July 16th was so incredibly sweet and soothing! A small group of feelers, artists, and tender ones gathered at the lovely garden at Yoga Love Oakland. I can I just say that for me, it was everything that I needed. This summer season, I wasn’t expecting to be in the midst of transition and change. I wasn’t expecting to have to walk a way from a home that I love. I wasn’t expecting the relationship with my neighbor to escalate to a point of increasing tension and unsafety.

AND

Even in the midst of all of that, the seeds of sweet mama oshun are finding me, wrapping me up tight, pouring their cool waters on me and encouraging me to continue to go with the flow. To flow where there is peace, where there acceptance, where there is reciprocity, care, kindness, consideration. These are gifts and I affirm that we are worthy of receiving. Mo dupe!

We are going to be meeting up again!!!!

Saturday, August 13th @ 11:30am
