Excited to be a part of Greenhouse!
Repost from @budtobloom_coaching
•
I'm super happy to be expanding the support network for folks in the Greenhouse by inviting in some new guest teachers for this cohort.

This June, we'll be welcoming Ixchel Lunar, Decolonial Time Witch, to share her musings and wisdom on how we can heal our relationship with time as plant-based entrepreneurs.

I specifically reached out to Ixchel after recognizing that my habits around "time management" weren't always working for my clients -- nor, I eventually realized, were they 100% working for me.

Rather than seeking to manage, control, dominate, and squeeze productivity out of time (all patterns that are rooted in colonization), Ixchel offers a different framework. A gentler one rooted in her indigiqueer and neuroemergent identity that treats time as an entity to partner with, not dominate.

Working with Ixchel has helped me to reset my dopamine so that I can more easily get into flow states in my life and work without burning myself out, and I'm excited to bring her wisdom to the circle of folks joining us this season in the Greenhouse!

For more about Ixchel, check out her IG at @ixchel.love

AND there's only 3 more days to apply for a spot in the Greenhouse! If you're ready to be supported not just as an entrepreneur, but as a whole human on a journey with the plants, this space has been made for you. Visit @budtobloom_coaching bio to apply!

I love this Mother’s Day reflection from @cosmogyny
•
On a day like today, it’s important to remember that Mothering is a multi-species event available to all of us. It is not purely human. It is not gendered. Anyone can offer it. Anyone can do it. A landscape can mother you. Sending tender love to everyone today, and thanking my own mother for teaching me to honor the mothering of the whole feral and mischievous world @perditafinn .

💔BREAKING: “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Alito & obtained by @POLITICO.
⠀
The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in Feb. would end a 1/2-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of #AbortionRights & allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion.” @Politico
⠀
“If the #SupremeCourt overturns or guts #RoevWade, 26 states are certain or likely to ban #abortion. Restrictions & bans on #AbortionAccess are a direct violation of basic #HumanRights & #ReproductiveFreedom. None of the 108 abortion restrictions enacted in 2021 are medically necessary. Their only purpose is to impose a socially conservative worldview & exert control over how people make decisions about their pregnancies.” @GuttmacherInstitute
⠀
“These bans don’t prevent all #abortions. What they do is simply put safe, necessary medical care out of reach, specifically for our lowest-income sisters, queer, trans, & non-binary siblings, Black, brown, AAPI, & Indigenous people.” @AyannaPressley
⠀
“ #AbortionBan s disproportionately harm those who already face systemic barriers to #HealthCare, including BIPOC, those working to make ends meet, women, young people, people with disabilities, immigrants, & members of the LGBTQIA+ community.” @ReproRights
⠀
“Even though Roe is still the law of the land, abortion is already legal in name only in much of the country. The procedure costs hundreds or thousands of $, which patients often pay for out of pocket, & as clinics continue to close, getting #AbortionCare can also mean booking a flight, hotel room, or babysitter. #AbortionFunds are the safety net to fund the logistics of getting an abortion—a net that is badly fraying.” @SueOnTheTown x @ElleUSA

Busy is a state of disconnection, depletion, disrepair.

If you have trouble with chronic hedonic resistance (You’re not having fun anymore) — all the usual ways of getting a lift aren’t working, even having some days “off” didn’t help — a dopamine reset is your medicine for finding your way back to your fun.

It’s Time to dust off your Shine!
RADICAL REST RETREAT - MAY 7TH

A virtual collective sit-out to go deeper in practices to (un)busy your life

*Plus a bonus Integration Session on May 14th

In this retreat, you’re going to learn how to feel into your sense of Time, and get down to the nitty-gritty of how your wild presence shifts your perception of Time so you can expand your capacity to experience and relate with Time.

We will go deep with the Decolonizing Time, incorporating an ancestors meditation, and restorative yoga for supporting our bodies (ALL THE PILLOWS) to help you shift your relationship with Time.

And we’ll explore the five-part process of Radical Rest including the R.E.S.T. Recipe for Dauntless Embodiment, Declutter, Digital Detox, Dopamine Do-Over, Do Diddly.

This package includes nearly $1500 in coaching and resources for $100:
* 2-hour teaching on Radical Rest on 5/7 9am PT, Noon ET ($500 value)
* Your Radical Rest Plan plus access to the Time Collective in Telegram ($500 value)
* 1 Integration Call on 5/14 9am PT, Noon ET ($250 value)
* Edgewalkers Handbook (18-page lite version, packed with resources, $50 value)
* Radical Rest Handbook (85 pages, $111 value)

*Spots are limited to keep this intimate…

Ground the (un)learning of ruthless systems of brutal productivity through relating with Time. Getting relational deprograms the “dominance over” mindset, creating space for our senses, so we actually sense what our needs are.

Walk Away With:
✅ A Shift in Relationship to Time
✅ Rest to Clear Brain Drain
✅ Expanding Your Capacity to Vision
✅ Practices for Decolonizing on the regular

Rest is Resistance. Your medicine for Time scarcity. Deets @ixchel.love

It’s baaack….
Rest Revolt on May 7th

I’m moving to Oaxaca Mexico May 21st!

Proceeds of the Rest Revolt are going to transport my two dogs to Oaxaca by van (transport by ground across 4 countries is $5000!!!).

To be honest their timeline to join me shifted from late May to late June. It’s made me a bit of mess. So I’m ready to move mountains (of pillows) to get them there sooner.

Please help me get my German Shepherd and my little salchicha there safely. 🦮🐕

(Many animals can die traveling by plane)

When I was 15 I organized a hunger strike at my high school. We had hundreds of teenagers sleep over in our gymnasium for 24 hours. It was really amazing how many came to help bring awareness to homelessness, the unhoused and hungry.

Did I mention it was a sleepover? That’s how I roll…

Come in your PJs for some dismantling of brutal productivity. Rest is resistance.

We’ve been conditioned by dominator culture to feel that taking Time off isn’t possible. As creatives, leaders, and entrepreneurs we tell ourselves that the work is too important to wait. Lives depend on us. If we slow down, might not ever get back up.

Others simply never learned how to rest. Being idle is equated to laziness, a lie perpetuated by dominator culture. How dare we stop while the world burns.

When we shift our relationship towards Time and our interconnectedness on Earth, we find the harmony of life dwells in rest. This interconnectedness is what Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh calls #Interbeing.

Resting, playing, being in relationship with Place/ Earth/ Time/ Space/ Cosmos literally conserves and expands Time into the future. Rest puts the entropy-burn death cult of efficiency on notice.

Your to-do list can wait. #restisresistance

NEPANTLA COLLECTIVE IS A YEAR-LONG GROUP COACHING PROGRAM

Central to the Nepantla Collective is developing your Rhythm + Flow in practical ways like scheduling your days off regularly.

Learn how to negotiate these capacity-expanding practices of rest in ways that don’t activate fear in your nervous system. (Yes, sadly, taking time off scares the shit out of people, especially creatives, leaders and entrepreneurs.)

It’s an ecosystem for collective care so you can increase your capacity for these times: emotional well-being, mental clarity, deeper focus for good, repaired relationships with family members or friends.

Your lodestar for collective care, for navigating today’s rough waters.

It all comes down to our relationship with Time, befriending Time.

The next season of Nepantla Collective doors are open until April 7th. Details @ixchel.love

Time management is dominator culture in a nutshell.

Reclaiming Time is about your relationship with Time, Space, Place (the ground under your feet, and the world you are in), and your People.

As long as we think about Time as something to manage, dominate and control we will perpetuate the theft, division, commodification, and outsourcing of Time.

As long as we are chasing ruthless systems of brutal productivity we’re still living within the capitalist framework that links happiness with productivity.

➡️ Our dopamine will be perpetually hijacked.

When we stop worrying about productivity to solve our Time scarcity — and focus instead on centering Rest, Joy and Flow — we discover the gold in our Wild Presence.

➡️ We cannot hack our way to feeling Joy or Ease in our body.

It all comes down to your relationships. Decolonize Time to tend and mend your relationships with Time, Space, Place and Cosmos.

This is how we step out of dominator culture and onto dry land, so we can dream in new ways of being (not doing).

Day 6 for #TWOVA and ALL young women and girls in KANSAS deserve the opportunity to play sports and engage in activities with their peers. Banning trans women and girls from sports does nothing to advance equity and opportunity for athletes in women’s sports. #LetKidsPlay #StopSB484

Colonization feels like Time Scarcity to the body… because colonization:
‼️ Stole
‼️ Divided
‼️ Commodified and
‼️ Outsourced our Time.

To reclaim your Time, don’t fall for ‘dominance over’ colonizer Time hacks.

Instead, get relational with Time.

Befriend Time.

How? Land in Wild Presence through Mindfulness, Movement, and Reverberation, so you can decolonize Time and liberate your Flow.

Start by reflecting on the types of mindfulness, movement and reverberation* that uplifted you in the past, expanding your capacity. Try those as your daily Minimum Viable Practice (MVP).

(Hint: by getting relational with the land you occupy you’ll connect with Time. So include repairing your relationship with the land to expand Time.)

These three ways of being are known to create conditions for Flow to emerge over and over. And that will expand your Time. This is how we honor our capacity.

*reverberation is what I call the vibrations of relations (love, gratitude, grace, etc. Calling it a gratitude practice is insufficient because many miss the feeling in the practice. More on that in a future post.)

It’s #TWOVA Day 4. ARIZONA is leading the country in anti-trans bills in 2022. Lawmakers have introduced over a dozen bills targeting trans youth. Demand lawmakers stop SB1165 and SB1138. Trans youth deserve to play sports and access health care. These bills stigmatize and harm transgender young people who are just trying to live their lives.

We’re going down to FLORIDA for #TWOVA Day 3 (Posting a day late as I’m offline on Sundays). The infamous #DontSayGay bill could ban mentioning LGBTQ people in school. It would actually impact the entire LGBTQ community and cause immense harm to young trans people and young people with trans loved ones. Tell Gov. DeSantis to veto HB 1557. #TWOVA
