Spiritually inclined woman from Germany offers spiritual cocoa ceremonies via her Instagram, but only for women.
No word about nonbinary folks or trans women, or genderqueer afab people like me.
I guess that's not for me.
I am also not familiar with cocoa ceremonies, and wonder if they are culturally appropriative or not.

Have you ever re-read a book years later and wondered who underlined all those passages?
Some of those passages feel essential now, I skipped them as boring at twenty-three.
What book surprised you most on a second read?

Yoga culture has rules nobody ever wrote down. I followed them for years before realizing I hadn't chosen them.
They feel like values. They accumulate like obligations.
Which unwritten rules have you quietly agreed to follow?

Decided to write another thing about #surfing and what it means to my life. Also, the header photo is of me surfing! (From the summer of 2004, on tiny Fort Pierce summer waves)
Whenever I try to add Alt text to my images in Write.As, I have problems (I'll put it in a reply).

I've been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.
It was difficult to decide who's name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.
When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:
1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.
2. Someone who wouldn't betray you, has affinity with you, but you can't say they totally accept you as you are. They'd like to see you change.
3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.
4. A "fair-weather friend".
5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.
6. Negativity starts here, but it's very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a "frenemy" or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a "flying monkey". A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.
7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.
8. Sketchy. Criminality begins here.
9. Predator. DANGEROUS

So my piece on the Holy Innocents a few weeks or so back garnered a little bit of discussion. So I figured it was worthwhile to follow that up with a longer essay on the nature of Truth in scripture that, I hope, will help enrich folks' appreciation of the Bible.

I often write articles that I myself want to re-read frequently.
Today I wrote a collection of short pointers and exercises for those interested in meditation, finding mental peace/clarity and non-dualism.
I intend to keep updating this page in future (and perhaps write a book about it eventually... stay tuned).
I hope it helps you find peace as much as it helps me 🙏

Antonio Pele : « L’engouement pour la méditation est une réponse aux exigences toujours plus aiguës du capitalisme
“ [la méditation] peut aussi conduire à accepter le monde tel qu'il est, à s'adapter à cette accélération et aux inégalités qui se creusent, sans vouloir les remettre en cause.”

"Spirituality isn't religion. Religion divides people. Belief in something unites people."
Hey. I'm not good at this social stuff, so I'm just going to hash tag a few interests.
Sometimes I'm funny and oh yeah, I'm kinda old too.

Greetings & salutations #mastodon!
On social media since 2007 and online since 1996! I work in #web3 #blockchain and share photos of #nature
I am super inspired by #biomimicry and the possibilities of #decentralizedtechnology
Interested to connect with others especially as someone laid off as part of #cryptowinter doh!
Some of my other interests include:
#electronicmusic #hiking #photography #spirituality #empathy #gardening #food #fungi
Let's connect!
I've changed servers due to technical issues and am reposting my introduction, as none of my posts migrated 🙁
Good afternoon everyone! I am new to Mastadon and prefer the tusk to the musk. I am an artist who works primarily in clay and specialize in raku pottery and explore mythology and nature in my work. Some of my other interests include:
#nature #garden #hiking #winemaking #offgrid #space #mythology #art #spirituality #kindnessmatters
Ahem...*taps mic*
This here be my beige.party #Introduction
I'm a Gen X (1967) American who works in security for a living. I feel fortunate to have grown up through the 70s, 80s, and the 90s. I kinda look at that as the Yahtzee! of pop culture. What a time to be a nerd!
Music defines me. I don't have just a soundtrack to my life, I have a boxed set, including rare demos and unreleased live recordings. Wanna get to know me? Hang around for my music posts.
A song that's...me?
I am ADHD, and have Dysthymia to boot. I live an unmedicated life, and am kind of a mess as a result. I'm not anti-medication, it's just that I can't seem to stay on the wagon. If you follow me, and I don't immediately follow you back, don't take it personal. I'm trying to deal with over stimulation.
Politically...jeebus. To make it easy, I'm a Democratic Socialist. Honestly, I hate trying to define myself.
What I am (consider the following "AF"): Pro-choice, Pro trans rights, as well as a firm believer that women can do whatever the blue hell they want. I'm pro-sexwork, and pro pineapple on pizza (DO NOT COME AT ME ON THAT ONE).
I DO NOT. LIKE. NAZIS.
If you are a nazi, I do not like you. My great uncle put bushels of you in the ground in WW II. Follow Hitler's example and suck on the end of a loaded Luger.
I'm religious, and by that, I shall refer to a quote attributed to Gandhi: "I consider him religious who recognizes the suffering of others." I am a bit all over the place, and do not blindly follow any specific dogma. I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, but that's okay. Everybody else has their thing. It may not necessarily be my thing, but that's okay. Whatever your thing is, may it bring you comfort and peace of mind. Just don't be a wanker.
I am very pro Fediverse, and pro FOSS. Technology can be very cool and wondrous, if we choose to make it that way. I'm a Linux user, and have shed all but two mainstream social media platforms. I am attempting to de-google my life. I am VERY anti-AI.
Be kind. Always.
Lord, but I did ramble a one. That's ADHD for ya, folks: LOADS of bonus content!
And now, hashtags...
