Sacral Sea Writing Prompts
Writing prompts culled from the Landscape of the Chakras class. Deepen your Inner Territory work by writing from the Soul of Poetry, not worrying about being ‘technically’ good. Write from the churning, dark, alive, cosmic, sacral sea in your soul.
Working with Monsters and Shadows
This class turns us toward our inner monsters and the shadowy parts of our Inner Territories. The sharp, reactive, protective places that learned how to become the weapon so they would never again be prey. Instead of trying to fix or control them, we get closer. We listen. We relate.
The Green Heartwood Writing Prompts
Writing prompts culled from the Landscape of the Heart Chakra class and Journey. Deepen your Inner Territory work by writing from the Soul of Poetry, not worrying about being ‘technically’ good. Write from the green Heartwood in your soul.
The Landscape of the Chakras: The Heart Chakra
This class is heart work that asks something of you. This is not a gentle concept of love. This is the wild, regenerative force that lives in the body and insists on risk, repair, and participation in something larger than the self. The heart here is a bridge between the underworld and the world we return to, where everything we uncovered below begins to reshape how we relate, create, and belong. This class moves through grief, memory, love, and rupture, and invites you to stay open anyway. To feel. To risk again. To let love become something that reorganizes your life and your relationship to the collective
Writing Prompts: Final Shed of the Year of the Wood Snake
Final Shed is a ritual writing circle held at the edge of a cycle, where we gather inside serpent medicine to name what is ending and consciously release it. Together we write into the cords that still bind us to dying systems, inherited patterns, and the exiles or shadows that surfaced over the year, allowing grief and truth to move without being rushed toward resolution. This class is both communal descent and deliberate severing, a final skin laid down before momentum returns. From that honest ground, we turn toward the Fire Horse and ask what courage, movement, and embodied power we are ready to claim, calling our strength up from the earth and stepping forward changed.
The Landscape of the Chakras: The Lower Three (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus)
This journey slows us down inside the lower three chakras and lets us really look. Root, sacral, solar plexus. Death. Life. Rebirth. We wander the landscapes of each center and notice what has been stored there, what was cut off, what went quiet, what has been overworking to keep us upright. This is relearning the language of energy and intuition from the inside out. We sit with the density, the heat, the hunger, the numbness, and begin building trust with the parts of us that learned to survive through disconnection. The work here is embodied and steady. It deepens everything that follows.
Inner Territory Journey: The First Mapline
In this Journey we enter the terrain of our first mapline and ask the question - am I asking big enough? We listen for the quietest current of desire and follow it to where our manifestation lives. There we witness its condition with honesty, meeting the old beliefs and protective parts that have kept our longing small. Gently, we begin unpinning what has been lodged in the body and allow this first mapline to breathe again.
Manifesting Maplines

Inner Territory Journey: Mother's Night
This Journey takes place in the deepest dark of the year, when nothing is meant to be rushed and no light is demanded. We gather with the ancestral mothers and the long memory of winter, trusting gestation over action. This is a night for waiting with eyes open, for honoring what is quietly forming beneath the surface, and for remembering that return is already underway.
Inner Territory Journey: Inner Light For The Long Dark
This journey is about tending the inner hearth as we enter the long dark. We remember the seasonal myths that helped our ancestors survive silence, cold, and uncertainty, and we gather what needs to be close before winter deepens. The work steadies the nervous system and strengthens inner companionship, offering warmth without forcing optimism.
Inner Territory Journey: Out Beyond
This Journey opens into the space beyond polarity, beyond certainty, beyond the need to decide or resolve. Guided by Rumi’s mapline, it brings people into a liminal field where separation softens and desire can be named without strategy. It belongs to the places where intuition, longing, and becoming meet, not to instruct, but to listen for what is quietly asking to be welcomed in.
Inner Territory Journey: Hovering Over The Deep
This journey welcomes light without pursuit. It meets the moment when expansion arrives on its own, rippling through the imagination and the energy body. Creativity here feels ancient and cosmic, less like effort and more like remembering how worlds are dreamed into being.
Writer’s Soul: Merlin Stone
Merlin Stone was the author of When God Was A Woman, first published as The Paradise Papers, and of Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood. She studied art and journalism, eventually becoming interested in archeology through her study of ancient art. Her work had a serious impact on the Goddess Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and has given us doorways of possibilities to rethink the primarily male lens through which we are taught history.
Inner Territory Journey: Rebirth
This class sits at the friction point between decay and emergence. It does not promise renewal or improvement. It honors rebirth as a cycle older than choice, arriving only after something has truly decomposed.
Rooted In Power: Menstrual Health & Herbal Wisdom For Sovereign Cycles With Natalie Stoemmer
This class brings us into direct relationship with the menstrual cycle as a source of intelligence and authority. We slow down enough to learn how the body actually functions and what it has been communicating all along. Plant allies are introduced as steady supports, offering care, resilience, and regulation through cyclical living. This is a space where trust in the body begins to rebuild and power grows through listening, consistency, and informed choice.
Inner Territory Journey: Feeling Good Is Feeling God
This journey treats pleasure, goodness, and aliveness as vulnerable states rather than indulgences. It challenges spiritual traditions that equate holiness with deprivation and restores sensation as a doorway to the sacred.
Inner Territory Journey: Embodied
This journey pulls the soul back into form. It rejects disembodied transcendence and instead roots inner work in gravity, sensation, and presence. The body leads here, not the mind, carrying us deeper and recalibrating to the womb of the Earth. Inner Territory work sees the body not as something separate from the soul, but one part of a complex soul system. To recover our exiled parts, our agency, our most central Self, we move deeper into the body.
Self Reclamation: Beyond the Wall
This journey follows on from the Cord Cutting: Invasive Roots. Here, we listen to defenses instead of tearing them down. We ask what the wall has been protecting and whether it still needs to stand. Reclamation happens through respect for survival intelligence. As always, we move slowly, with intention, and on behalf of all our parts of Self. There is no rush, no need to force or conjure an outcome.
Cord Cutting: Invasive Roots
Cord cutting is held here as a gardening practice rather than a severing, guided by relationship with land, body, and the wisdom of what is native.
If you can, try to spend some time in Nature before this cord cutting. Watch the way plants, animals, and elements interact with one another. Observe how the interconnectedness of Nature feels in your own body. Take note of what is native to your part of the world and what is not.
