Lunē G.

Hello All,

Currently I’m on my moon, listening through rain through an open window. It’s an experience of grace, something which, like happiness or peace, exists only in an awareness of the many other things it could have been instead.

It always seems like there’s a great deal going on in my personal world, and isn’t it the same in the greater world? Isn’t it the same in our inner body’s world? Yet there can still be peace and quiet. In fact, we must make it, the way life makes it, creating dips in sine waves, silences in song.

That is to say I’m always grateful for the non-negotiable fatigue my period gives me. Like a rainy day, it leaves one with no excuse but to slow down.

And so I have.

In this space I’ve had time to reflect, time to let mud settle, time to watch the dust kicked up by the constant hustle and bustle of living in the decline of an empire to clear so that I could see my way forward, yes, but most importantly, so I could hear the present. In this space I’ve been held, humbled and reminded. In this space I have grown.

In this space I have also known hardship.

Back at the end of 2019 I dedicated myself to a somewhat radical new direction in life that I refused to let the pandemic’s beginning deter. True to form I claimed 2020 as ‘my year’ and actually stuck with that, embracing deep growth and inner change. This took me to risky places wherein I examined my relationship to work, love, money, community. I learned so many things. I gained so much. But I lost a lot as well.

At this point I want to say that I think the ‘experiment’ or exploration went well, but it’s time to end it and start something new.

I am going to cease my Patreon model of offering ‘x’ amount of content as the exchange for what my Patron’s offer. While I’ve mentioned before I see my Patreon as a ‘tip jar’ I am clearer now on how that’s working: From here on out, my Patreon is a way for people to support me on a rolling, month to month basis. This is to support me first and foremost as a Black Femme because that alone deserves and requires support. Secondarily it supports me as a community resource, healer and as a climate organizer. Thirdly, I will not be offering any tarot, medicines, or anything like that in exchange for any tier of support, though there will be one or two tiers that allow Patrons to download audio series and gain access to a future project I’ll talk more about soon.

I am going to focus on other work instead of ASMR/Youtube, which includes no longer making this content for a free audience but instead offering my guided relaxation skills by appointment. More information on this as I get the website sorted; I’m excited by this turn of events and look forward to sharing my energy in a way that feels better and more mutual for me.

Here’s a short, stimmy, tingly video rambling about the above. Enjoy~
