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
Inner Territory Journey: Root Chakra
This Journey takes us back to the moment a limiting belief first took root. We don’t rush it or override it. We witness the origin story with steadiness, noticing what was formed in response to fear, survival, or misunderstanding. A guide steps in, not to rescue, but to interrupt the old script and shift the trajectory. We stay long enough to feel the belief loosen, to watch the limits begin to melt off the body and psyche. This is reclamation through witnessing. This is manifestation through unbinding.
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.
Inner Territory Journey: A Vow To Self
This Journey is the best place to start if you’re new to Inner Territory work.
We begin in an inner desert, navigating the chakras as stones we use to build an altar. Clear, steady, and fully alive, we welcome our unique guides and form a vow made to Self.
Manifesting Maplines
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: 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.
Inner Territory Journey: Dragoning
This is a transformation journey rooted in rage, grief, and emergence as sacred forces of change. The work centers the moment when an old skin can no longer hold what the self has become, and the body knows it is time to crack, shed, and come through. Anger, sensuality, and ferocity are not treated as problems to regulate, but as living energies that carry wisdom, protection, and forward motion.
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.
Wyrd Changer: Your Oracular Sight
This class restores trust in ways of knowing that were trained out of us. It situates intuition inside lineage, ethics, and responsibility, not prediction or performance. Oracular sight is remembered here as collective, relational, and wise enough to alter direction with care.
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.
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.
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.
Writer’s Soul: Mary Austin’s Wild Voice
This class sits inside Joy Harjo’s way of listening to the world. We move through her poems as landscapes shaped by breath, memory, grief, and belonging, paying attention to how voice carries responsibility to land, ancestors, and spirit. We stay close to the tenderness and ferocity in her writing, the way image and truth travel together without explanation. Writing here feels devotional and grounded, guided by what has been carried forward and what still needs a voice.
