Upcoming Community Calls and Celebrations
February Zoom Call: Sacred Sexuality
During our February call, we'll dive into the topic of sacred sexuality. This is a topic that I have worked with Freyja and Freyr on quite a bit and we will likely revisit it in the future as it's quite multi-faceted (and deeply personal for everyone).
As conscious beings, it's important to acknowledge the power of our sexual energy, whether we access it and harness it with a partner or not. We'll take a look at the following questions:
-Why is it important to clear the energies related to our sexual history?
-How can we clear our sexual history and/or shame attached to our sexual nature?
-How can we clear any limiting beliefs or low-frequency energies regarding sexuality that have been passed down to us from our bloodline?
-How can we embody a more sacred connection to our sexual energy?
-How can we harness the power of our sexual energy for creational purposes (creation not pro-creation)?
-How can we enrich our sexual connection to our current (or future) partner?
-What Spirit allies can assist us with developing a more sacred connection to our sexuality?

May Zoom Call: Masculine & Feminine Energies
Regardless of our gender or expression, we all have a mix of masculine and feminine energy, and we need both in our daily lives. When feminine and masculine energies are balanced, we experience more harmony and a greater sense of fulfillment within ourselves. Toward the end of the call, we’ll complete a journey to connect with a Spirit ally (or allies) to receive a message about our feminine energy, our masculine energy, or both.

-What is a house spirit?
-What are the different types of house spirits?
-How are house spirits different than ghosts?
-What house spirits reside in my home?
