Reflections + Introducing the Space in Between

Originally published, October 24th, 2024.

What I’ve grown an awareness of that is more bitter than sweet is that it’s nearly impossible to take space for what we need in this life and in the world. In this present moment in time, the world seems to be spinning faster than many of us can keep up with. And many are struggling to ground into the every day world. Many of us are shedding and searching for what is coming next. Holding pain and sadness beneath the surface and putting on a face that hides the truth of what they’re confronting deep inside.

The blessing and struggle in this is a knowing that we are not alone. And a knowing that too many people are moving through the hardships right alongside us. And such is the human journey - a never ending exploration of change.

And we’re back live! Whew, the time away this summer was needed. Although I didn’t get the chance to step fully away and hit pause on my whole life - taking space away from intimacy + healing work really expanded both my perspective and my capacity. It gave me a lot of space to think about what I had been doing and what was it that I wanted to experience and expand upon moving forward. I held space for some shedding and healing and am excited to move into the fall + winter seasons ahead with more lightness and inspiration to really refine the ways we explore intimacy, healing + kink together.

There’s so much to tell you about. But what is at the surface today is to introduce + name the space that we all weave in and out of. The space in between. Transitional, liminal space. The place where we surrender to change, grief, shedding, and defeat. It’s the place that lives in the middle of what was and what is becoming. This is what bridges us in growth.

This is what we’ve been doing inside the Self Study Lab since 2019. Transforming over + over again. Leaning into our learnings and letting go of the lessons we have learned. Opening up curiously towards the unknown. Leaning into creating over + over again. We’ve been holding space for all to exist unapologetically and to deepen the ways we connect with ourselves + one another through friendship + romantic love.
