Hope to see you there! RSVP by 9/13 to save your seat 👑

Years ago, I was in a yoga class with KC Miller. She brought us into child's pose + then asked us to turn our palms upward.

"Surrender Warrior."

And I sobbed.

Something in me understood immediately that surrender was not going to mean giving up. It was going to mean yielding. Dearmoring. Beginning to release the pieces of protection I had gathered over a lifetime, pieces that had once helped me survive but had become heavy, burdensome + no longer useful for the life I was living.

That was nearly fifteen years ago + surrender has never been a one-time act.

Again + again, I have found another piece of armor ready to be thanked + laid down. Another way of being that once carried me but does not need to represent me now.

That ongoing practice has made room for the woman I am today, a woman who can slow down, take a moment, listen inward + choose how she wants to embody herself in this season of her life.

Release is not rejection.

Sometimes it is simply reverence for who we had to become + permission to no longer carry her armor.

What is one piece of armor you're ready to thank + set down? You don't have to explain it. Even naming it here is a small act of release.

It’s here! We’ve arrived at the third phase of our Wild Matriarchy series.

We began by Calling the Ancestors — spending time rebuilding relationship with where we come from, remembering the people + stories that shaped us and making space for what has been carried across generations.

Then we moved into Inheritance — examining what we have inherited through family, culture + social conditioning, through our value systems, our medicines, our ways of surviving + the beliefs we learned about who we were supposed to be.

And now we arrive at Awakening the Sovereign Within.

This time, we turn toward legacy.

Not simply what we will someday leave behind, but what we are choosing to make transmissible through the way we live now.

What parts of ourselves were built for terrain we are no longer walking?

What are we ready to honor + release?

What do we want to reclaim?

What values, ways of being, joys, boundaries + relationships do we want to embody in the life we are creating now?

Together, we will spend time honoring who we have been, gently deconstructing the operating systems that no longer represent us + choosing what we want to carry forward.
Because sovereignty is not about becoming someone new.

It is about remembering who we are beneath adaptation, expectation + survival — then choosing, with intention, how we want to live from here.

We would love to have you with us for Awakening the Sovereign Within, the next gathering in our Wild Matriarchy series.

[Sunday, September 27th, 10 am — 2 pm. Join us for a light brunch + beverages]

One of the most important things I’ve learned in ancestor work is that not every Ancestor chooses the work of healing.

Many of us were taught that once someone dies, they automatically become a wise guide. But our lineages, like our living families, are complex. Some Ancestors have done the work of becoming clear, loving + trustworthy sources of wisdom. Some are still carrying the wounds, beliefs, fears + unfinished stories they carried in life.

This is why I call on the Ancestors whose spirits are well + the Ancestors who wish me well.

The Ancestors who have become medicine, who want to assist in the healing of our family lines, who are willing to join us in co-creation + who stand in reciprocity, dignity, healing + love.

We do not have to deny the difficult parts of our lineage to honor where we come from. We can acknowledge the whole story while choosing who we invite into relationship. We can also have hard conversations with the Ancestors who have not yet chosen their own healing. We can ask more of them. We can require accountability, truth-telling + repair as part of healing the foundations of our family lines.

When I light a candle, place fruit on the altar, pour water or speak their names, I am not calling every spirit who shares my bloodline. I am calling those who walk in wisdom. I am calling those who desire my wellbeing. I am calling those who are willing to help carry healing forward.

May we remember that ancestry is not only inheritance.

It is relationship.

Some things arrive, and some things are delivered to you like an offering.

Today I unwrapped my dear friend Edda Moerling’s first deck, A Field Guide to Matriarchal Remembering, and I’m still catching my breath. Founding edition no. 11/20. Made entirely by her hands.

The unwrapping was its own ceremony. Brown kraft paper sealed with wax. Twine wound around the cards like a promise. And beneath it all, a hand-sewn cover of chartreuse silk tied with a dusty pink ribbon, the kind of detail that tells you someone slowed all the way down to make this for you.

But the real gift is inside. These cards were created to guide us back into relationship with the women who walked and worked before us. To reconnect with the land, with the old ways, with the mother line that runs through each of us whether we remember it or not. Every card is full to the brim, a true field guide for the lo ng work of remembering. There’s even a little gold stand for pulling a card to sit with through the day.

Edda, you birthed something real into the world. Thank you for trusting your knowing and sharing it with the rest of us. I cannot wait to walk this path with these cards in hand. 👑

A beautiful poem that unravelled the core of why I do this work, and cheesy as it may be it's not work when you love what your are doing. ✨

We’ve spent the last few weeks gathering the pieces for this evening thoughtfully.

Filling jars by hand.
Building altar boxes.
Layering herbs, soil, paper, prayer, story, music + intention.

Jaime has been building a beautiful sound journey for the evening- something immersive, grounding + reflective to help guide us gently into the work.

We’ve been creating every layer of this experience with care because this isn’t just a workshop to us. It’s an invitation into ongoing relationship.

Relationship with memory.
With lineage.
With the women who carried us here.
With the parts of ourselves that were never taught where we came from.

Calling the Ancestors is the first gathering in a 4-part series rooted in relational inheritance, deconstruction, sovereignty, reflection + collective care.

We only have one seat left now + we’re feeling deeply grateful for the response this gathering has already received.

Thank you to every woman who felt the call + said yes already.

If you’ve been wanting to join us, our journey begins May 30th from 3–6 PM.

Join us for an evening with your ancestors. Amy Joon and Jaime Murphy invite you to an intimate women-only workshop on May 30th, 3-6 PM.

This intimate workshop's intention is to connect us back to our ancestral past. We open with a sound meditation, then ease into the core ancestor work as we build a beautiful altar in a jar and dress ritual candles to take home. Rich with learning and lived experience, we move into a letter writing and burning ceremony, complete with an ancestral blessing to close our time together. Leave with your portable altar, ritual candle, and a written guide to the ritual we shared together. We invite you to share this beautiful practice with the other powerful women in your life.

Your Hosts: Amy Joon comes from a long line of herbalists, magical practitioners, and healers. She has been at her practice for many moons and carries a wealth of knowledge to share. Jaime has 15+ years of leading workshops, guided meditations, and sound baths for small and large groups. She is a baby to the world of magic with incredible mentors like Amy guiding her on her own journey. Together, we will guide you through yours. ✨

Our intention with this workshop is to bring women together in power to re.learn the teachings of our ancestors. De.constructing and de.colonizing work is at the core of how we approach these subjects, as so much of our history has been lost or edited for control. This is the first workshop in a 4-part series we will be announcing at the end of our time together. Come be a part of this magic from its origin.

Space is limited to 8 souls. This will fill up fast, so don't delay.

This is a donation-based offering. Suggested contribution is $20-$40. If a monetary offering is still a challenge for you, please reach out and we will work with you. No one is excluded from this foundational work.

📍 South Tempe. Exact address provided upon RSVP.

You've made the plan. You've felt the resolve. And somewhere between Monday morning and Thursday night, it quietly fell apart. Again.

Most habit advice puts the blame squarely on you — not enough discipline, not enough drive. But the research tells a different story. The mental energy we use to make decisions, resist temptations, and push through discomfort all draws from the same limited reserve, and by the end of a long, demanding day that reserve is close to empty. That's not a character flaw. That's biology.

Here's the piece that changes everything. When your nervous system feels safe and regulated, the energy that was tied up in just getting through the day becomes available again. Focus returns. Patience returns. The capacity for self-control quietly resurfaces — not because you tried harder, but because you stopped fighting your own biology.

The habits that have felt impossible often become surprisingly accessible once the system underneath them is no longer working against you.

The full post is live on the blog. If you've been in the try, fail, reset cycle longer than you'd like to admit, this one is for you.
