There’s more to beauty than what you think.
It’s more than makeup.
It’s more than skincare.
It’s more than a way to mask your age or catch a mate.
It’s a form of power – one that has been overlooked, weaponized, and reduced to superficial ritual.
But beauty is more than what meets the eye.
It’s a force of power.
A magnetic pull to the mystery.
An expression of the Goddess herself that can break the world open.
Come to this free workshop if you’re ready to redefine everything you thought beauty was. Stay if you’re ready to learn to use it to protect yourself, influence the world, and express your power.
Reclaiming the Feminine Power of Beauty – On Our Terms
Beauty is not a neutral topic.
You can tell by the way we chase it through millions of dollars in skincare products, makeup, and fillers.
Or how we simultaneously create and rage against unachievable standards.
Or the way we devote our time to beauty rituals that have been stripped of the holiness and depth they deserve.
When there’s this much feeling about a topic, it’s a sign there’s a deep vein of power beneath it. So let’s dig deeper, beneath the surface.
This workshop will help you explore what it really means to use beauty to summon the inner power you’ve been searching for your whole life.
We’ll explore why beauty is not something to chase, fear, or reject – but a tool to use:
For deeper connection to your body.
As power for protection and influence.
As a taproot to connect with your erotic energy.
Join me for this free workshop if you’re tired of performing beauty and ready to use it to inspire, create, and express.
Trust me – it’s about far more than makeup.

Our Muse, Aphrodite
As part of this workshop, we’ll revive our connection with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty who showed that beauty was about far more than looks.
Though she’s been reduced to a pretty face, Aphrodite once inspired temples and rituals to beauty that offered balance to a world that was increasingly being shaped by a culture of war.
Aphrodite reminds us that there is more than one way to express power. We’ll invoke her in a simple ritual of adornment that will introduce you to the deep power of beauty, and the way it can call in attention we want, and protect us from what seeks to harm us.
In this free workshop, you’ll:
- A new way of seeing beauty – as a form of power, not a performance.
- How to unhook from the cultural myths that have you using beauty to hide or overcompensate.
- The actual purpose of beauty, and why the dominant culture has reduced it to shiny objects.
- Six common myths about beauty (and the truth they conceal)
- An invocation of the goddess, Aphrodite, and a teaching on the true meaning of beauty, validation, and feminine power.
- A simple embodiment ritual to connect to your beauty from the inside out.
This free workshop is for you if:
- You’re conflicted about the messages you get around beauty, aging, power, and femininity
- You are tired of using your valuable energy to pick apart your looks and criticize your body.
- You are uncomfortable receiving compliments, and want to know what it feels like to relish in them instead.
- You feel the ache to express yourself – fully, without apology – in your appearance, but are afraid of what others might think.
- You want to feel magnetic and powerful without being punished for it.
- You are tired of a world built on war, and want to contribute to what’s coming next.
In your words:
“I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror and say a nice thing about myself when we first started working together. I can say all kinds of nice things to myself now.”

The Journal
Karma yoga (on the path of motherhood)
I like the skins on sweet potatoes. I enjoy their texture and I like knowing that there are nutrients in them. I also don’t particularly like peeling them. It adds an extra step that is not necessary, which makes a difference in the limited time I have to cook us a meal. But she doesn’t like them. If I leave the skins on anything — sweet potatoes, carrots, grapes, even chickpeas — she sticks out her tongue and spits until the offending characters out of her mouth. Perhaps the texture is too much for her smooth baby tongue. Or maybe she doesn’t have the right technique to adequately grind the skins down with these new teeth of hers. My job is to smooth the rough road ahead of her, so I peel the sweet potatoes before I put them in the food we will share.
This too with love
I lived on Kauai for the past two years. During that time I never seemed to see the news. No one I knew had televisions and I almost never saw a paper. But as we are transitioning our life to Mexico, I have been stationed at my in-laws’ house in a suburban purgatory for a month. This is my vacation to the rest of the world. Here, the news is a part of life.
It’s not that I value being uninformed. Quite the contrary. It is that I value learning what I need to learn without taking a healthy dose of fear alongside it. It is possible to do this, though it does take a bit of work because everyone has a slant, including me.
How I learned to become an Ayurvedic baker (plus a recipe for cookies you can eat for breakfast)
When I was in my early twenties, I woke very, very early and hauled myself into a kitchen of a cafe in Boulder, Colorado. I flipped on the lights at 5:00 a.m., turned on the ovens, and spent my morning hefting gigantic trays of steaming muffins, pies, and cookies from back of house to front.
Baking has been in my DNA since I was born, and it was delicious fun to live out my childhood fantasies as a professional baker. But as much as I loved spreading the perfect cream cheese frosting on a carrot cake, this new direction kept appearing for me. At the same time I was learning to perfect my cheesecake recipe, I was learning about the effects of refined sugar on my body. I was whipping up layer cakes while doing candida cleanses, and suddenly it just fell apart. I left my job as a sugarplum drug dealer and sadly tucked my apron deep into the back of my pantry.
