What actually makes a group feel safe enough to transform? We open with a vulnerable debrief from a tantric couples retreat—where the intention was beautiful but the container felt thin—and use it to map the anatomy of true space holding. From feeling “muted” to identifying the missing check-ins, we explore how safety, consent, and integration are built through small, deliberate choices rather than rushed practices.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Naming desire and boundaries as core skills

🌖 Why context-rich introductions build empathy

🌗 Five-minute integration transitions are valued over more practices

🌘 Simple somatic resets to integrate

🌑 Reaffirming the sacred container each day

🌒 How to design meals for processing

🌓 Upcoming women’s tantra circles and trainings

We get practical fast. You’ll hear simple tools that change the room in minutes: one-word emotion rounds, quick chakra check-ins, collective sighs, shaking and brushing off energy, and five-minute integration windows between practices. We talk through context-rich introductions that include desires, fears, and boundaries so participants can empathize and calibrate. We also share a favorite design move for tight schedules: intentional meal tables—quiet journaling, open processing, Q&A with assistants, and light social a—so connection keeps breathing even when the agenda is full.

Real mastery of facilitation meets people at the gate—honoring sovereignty, reaffirming the sacred container each day, and inviting voice without forcing performance. If you facilitate spiritual retreats, circles, or trainings this is a blueprint for building nervous-system-safe spaces where people can risk, reveal, and integrate.

We also share upcoming offerings: ​She Who Speaks​, our women’s tantra integration circle; ​Mystic Moon Collective​ with a guided shamanic journey; ​Intro to Tantra​; and a Valentine’s Day self-love package designed to activate daily rituals and clear limiting beliefs. Find our complete calendar of events​ here! ​ If this conversation resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us one practice that makes you feel safe to share. Your insight might be the exact tool another listener needs.

Ever feel your life is too loud to hear yourself think? We dive into a grounded path back to center using somatic awareness, mindfulness, shamanic journeying, and tantra-informed movement. Christine Rene and Chantel Ochoa unpack how external inputs—news feeds, cluttered rooms, and other people’s needs—can hijack our nervous systems, then walk through practical ways to reclaim agency and come home to the body.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Returning to the self as a practical path

🌖 Reducing external inputs and reclaiming agency

🌗 Somatic curiosity: color, shape, movement of tension

🌘 Full guided drop-in and mini heart practice

🌑 Movement, breathwork, and tantra-informed tools

🌒 Archetypes for patterns, boundaries, and balance

🌓 Shamanic release, cord cutting, and soul retrieval

You’ll be guided through two practices you can repeat anytime: a fuller somatic drop-in that helps you identify where tension lives, what it looks like, and how it wants to move; and a fast “mind-to-heart” reset that quiets analysis so a wiser answer can surface. We talk about the witch’s wound and the courage to feel safe sharing spiritual gifts, why dance and breath unstick old emotions, and how small, consistent rituals build trust with yourself. If you’ve ever asked why the same patterns keep returning, we explore a powerful metaphor: setting down the backpack of the past. Through shamanic tools like symbolic release and soul retrieval, those cords thin with practice, and the body becomes your early warning system when you try to pick the weight back up.

We also show how archetypes and soul contracts illuminate patterns in relationships and leadership, improving boundaries and communication. From sunrise prayers to altar time, from quantum light breath to gentle stretching, this conversation invites you to design rituals that match your life so you can move from constriction to expansion. For deeper study and community, we share details on Soul Rising, Archetypes and Soul Contracts, Intro to Tantra with Jim McDonald, Facilitator Training for ceremonial space, and our weekly Mystic Moon Collective.

If this conversation helps you breathe easier, share it with a friend who needs a reset, subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes, and leave a review with your favorite practice you’ll try this week.

Breath without grounding floats away. Grounding without breath forgets to dream. We dove into the living relationship between air and earth—how vision, intuition, and voice meet presence, safety, and action—to turn inner whispers into real-world change. From composting heavy emotions with tree roots to freeing a stuck throat with one honest breath, we share simple practices that help you shift out of loops and into flow.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Air as ideas, intuition and communication
• Earth as presence, safety and manifestation
• Composting heavy emotion into usable energy
• Body scans to locate energy by chakra and element
• Practical tools for grounding and breath-based release
• Spotting imbalance and language to rebalance clients
• Grief without judgment as a sign of aliveness
• Shamanic journeywork as earth body and air vision
• Community practice in an interactive monthly container

We map manifestation as a pathway through the elements and the body: air brings the idea and the language, fire lends will, water fuels creativity, and earth gives it bones. That path also runs in reverse, lifting primal desire at the root up through breath and voice until it radiates into your field as a clear invitation. Along the way, we unpack signs of imbalance—overthinking, anxiety, disassociation, hyper-focus on details—and offer language and facilitation prompts that widen a grounded state or land a lofty one. This is Kokoro in action: heart, mind, and body aligned so thought serves love and the body carries change until it’s real.

You’ll hear a vivid journey story of merging with a golden field of consciousness—why several people can receive the same idea at once—and how to pour that light back into daily life: food, movement, ritual, and care. We close with practical, shamanic tools you can use today: drumming, feathers, incense, calling directions, crystal grids, and a body-led check-in to choose earth or air on purpose. Plus, we introduce our Mystic Moon Collective, a monthly, interactive space with shamanic journey (earth) and sacred conversations (air) designed to help you practice, share, and grow with community.

Ready to trade burnout for balance and turn everyday rituals into real energy work? We dive into the living language of the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—and focus on Fire and Water as part one of a two part series. Christine and Shantel share personal stories, practical tips, and grounded tools you can use immediately, from manifestation water glasses to fire rituals.

In today’s episode we’ll explore:

• Elemental personalities and how to spot them
• Water as cleanser, conduit and intention carrier
• Safe disposal and home energy hygiene with water
• Fire for release, illumination and solar plexus power
• Expanding beyond the warrior archetype
• Presence, gratitude and dissolving FOMO
• Mystic Moon Collective: tarot, Reiki share, journeys, sacred conversations

We also introduce the Mystic Moon Collective, a weekly membership designed around the elements: tarot for fiery clarity, Reiki shares for watery flow, shamanic journeys for earthy roots, and sacred conversations for airy insight. Each session is interactive, welcoming all levels, and supported by a private community chat so you can practice, reflect, and get feedback between gatherings. If you’re craving structure that still leaves room for magic, this mix of ritual, skill-building, and community will feel like home.

A single phone call felt like lightning in the body, and everything changed. That’s how Stephanie’s story begins—a sudden, magnetic pull that cracked open visions, relentless poems, and a grief that didn’t belong to this lifetime. We invited her to share the journey from “I’m losing my mind” to published poet, from spiraling nights to grounded sovereignty, and how a past-life regression gave shape to a mystery that words like chemistry could never hold.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Clear cognizance, visions, and cognitive dissonance

🌖 The spiral into suicidality and seeking help

🌗 Therapy limits and turning to psychic support

🌘 Finding a “soul doctor” (that's Christine!!) and building sovereignty

🌑 Journeys, darkness at the edge, and sovereignty

🌒 Making boundaries with a past self

🌓 Assembling poems into a healing chronology

🌔 Hope, persistence, and choosing this life

We walk through the hard parts with care: cognitive dissonance that made reality blur, days of shaking that looked like seizures, and the fear of speaking up in case help meant being dismissed or medicated. Stephanie explains how therapy helped until it didn’t, and how a layered path—psychic guidance, Shamanic Reiki, sovereignty statements, nature, and Soul Rising—steadied her nervous system and returned her to the present. Along the way, the house hummed with strange phenomena, the treadmill surged on its own, and a closet became a chorus of footsteps. These moments aren’t just plot points; they’re lessons in energy hygiene and boundaries.

Stephanie’s book, A Past Life Bleed Through, collects poems received in the storm and arranges them into a map—from rupture to integration. You’ll hear why community matters, how shared patterns across journeys validate experience, and why trees became unexpected teachers in transmuting fear into steadiness.

If you’re curious about past lives, energy healing, spiritual emergence, or how creativity can become a lifeline, this story offers both language and tools. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more seekers find their footing. Then tell us: what practice keeps you anchored when the unseen gets loud?

The difference between a good circle and a life-shifting one often comes down to the invisible: presence, pacing, and the confidence to hold what arises without trying to fix it. We open up the craft of facilitation and show how to turn your certifications—Reiki, breathwork, hypnosis, somatics—into powerful group experiences that people remember and return to.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Aligning presence with breath, tone and pacing
• Reading the room and guiding energy toward intention
• De-escalating conflict and time-bounding emotional surges
• Somatic and meditative drops that open the heart
• Creating monthly circles that build community and retention
• Ethical pricing and the mindset of a spiritual entrepreneur
• Mixed modalities as a unique facilitator signature

We walk through the real skills you need to lead with heart and steadiness: reading the room, asking empowering questions, redirecting tangents, and de-escalating conflict without shaming anyone. You’ll hear how we use breath patterns, eye-softening, and body awareness to drop participants into a regulated, receptive state. Then we layer in sensory ritual—scent, candlelight, music, drumming—to signal safety and depth, and we map an arc that starts grounded, rises with purpose, and closes clean so people leave integrated and clear.

If you’re wondering how to make this sustainable, we go there too. Ethical pricing, consistency through monthly circles, and designing offers that fit your voice and community are central themes. Mixed modalities aren’t a problem to hide; they’re your signature. We outline our six-week intensive with Sunday skill sessions and Wednesday practicums, plus case studies and business support so you finish with a launch-ready class, series, or retreat and the inner certainty to deliver it.

What if the cure for clinginess, stagnant desire, and mixed‑signal intimacy isn’t more effort, but a new direction for your energy? We share a vivid lower world journey that reframed attachment as a call to return to the root, then show how vertical flow—from earth to crown and back—fortifies your field so connection feels generous, not grasping.

We break down the difference between horizontal cords that tether you to others and the toroidal loop that nourishes you from within. Expect practical tools you can try today: breath‑led chakra awareness, the “Sufi’s grind” spiral to compost stress and inhale blessings, and micro‑practices that take five to twenty minutes. We talk about moving from heart‑hungry to self‑sourced, why consistent somatics calm the nervous system, and how couples thrive when each partner energizes their own field first. Sex shifts from transaction to devotion when you’re both resourced.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Vertical energy flow replacing horizontal cords

🌖 Toroidal field, breathwork, and Sufi’s grind

🌗 Post‑holiday attachment, boundaries, self‑resourcing

🌘 Creatrix energy and movement for sacral flow

🌑 Trauma‑informed safety, anatomy and pleasure education

🌒 Private rituals like yoni gazing

🌓 Partnership without energetic siphoning

🌔 Course overview: five‑week She Who Rises

You’ll hear candid stories about healing patterns of energetic siphoning, tending the creatrix within, and inviting movement—dance, sound, hips—to unlock sacral flow after years of compressed productivity. Think nourishment over quick fixes, vertical flow over cords, and intimacy that lasts beyond the weekend glow.

The darkest night can be the clearest mirror. We step into solstice energy to explore what it really means to shed, integrate, and choose sovereignty—moving from the snake’s inward season to the horse’s bold momentum. We show how simple ceremonies become a powerful container for release and renewal. Drawing on Inanna’s descent, we pass seven gates of letting go—judgment, rejection, persecution, betrayal, abandonment, fear, and doubt—until we meet the part of ourselves we’ve exiled. From there, integration is possible. We talk about becoming the observer in your healing so the body stops bracing, and how blacked-out memories can surface when capacity grows.

In this episode, we explore:

🌕 Solstice rituals as containers for release and renewal
🌖 Snake to horse energetic shift and what it unlocks
🌗 Inanna’s descent as a map for shadow integration
🌘 Becoming the observer to regulate and heal
🌑 Blacked-out memories, capacity, and consent with self
🌒 Holding space versus trauma dumping with clear asks
🌓 Simple embodiment tools to fill your own cup
🌔 New offerings: She Who Rises, Through The Veil, The Art of Holding Space Facilitator Training

This conversation is also a preview of what we’re building next: She Who Rises, a women’s tantra masterclass to awaken kundalini, balance inner masculine and feminine, and reclaim pleasure as a devotional practice; Through The Veil, a conscious grieving coaching circle that alchemizes loss into forward motion; and The Art of Holding Space, a multi-part facilitator training that centers communication, group dynamics, and somatic presence so you can blend your modalities and lead with confidence. The thread through it all is self-sourced wisdom—tools that help you root into Earth, love on our shadowy parts, and make clear choices from sovereignty, not urgency.
