Red Tent is a space where you can simply breathe. Where we bring the both/and of it all. It's not just a circle, it's time to reset, and calibrate with other women who are leaning into the sticky parts of being human and growing in the whirlwind of it all and saying, "I choose to show up differently." "I choose to tend to myself" it's amazing and beautiful.
It's not an understatement to say it changes you, and the generational impact both from a lineage perspective and friendship perspective of 'we can do it differently' always takes my breath away.
Virtual red tent is on zoom, our cameras are on, and we all chat and share and grow. It's not a lecture, or a webinar, it's a circle up time of exploring a theme without pressure to have the right answers. If you want to join us we start in about 30 minutes, and then we have a euro friendly time zone one in 2 weeks as well.
Tent is waiting, come sit with us. (you can even wear your pajamas!) it's 10-20 sliding. Head to my bio to sign up!

What is Red Tent? Our Online Red Tents are one and a half hours, where we gather together to breathe and learn in an online sacred space. Come rest in a confidential Zoom video call to dive into a theme together. We'll do some journaling, sharing, and an activity. Even though this is online, this is an open faith, inclusive, sober space for femme folk ages 16+.

One Red Tent attendee shares,
“It’s definitely helped broaden my mind. I believe it’s given me helpful coping tools as well when I’m struggling with things.”

Henna parties are so much fun, we can gather at your kitchen table, or I can bring a tiny pop up table. Whether for a birthday, going away, squadron event, or just because, henna is a fabulous treat to share with your friends!

You can pay an hourly rate or per piece! Message me to book or find out more information!

On the podcast I recently recorded a meditation to get grounded and relaxed after a long day. So if you are craving some kudos and permission to breathe and reset I’ve got you.

Listen to “Oh My Goodness!” anywhere podcasts are hosted.

It’s easy to get frustrated if you are trying something for the first time and it doesn’t work out but step back and realize, you literally haven’t done it before.

Why are you stopping and giving up after the first try? It’s okay to suck. It’s okay to do something and it be absolute rubbish. Dr. Brene Brown has a phrase about the stormy first draft and I think it’s a great thing to keep in mind, that the first steps are always that, first steps. You can get better if you just keep going.

Some situations might be more frustrating than others, but if you’ve got the nudge, and you post something and no one responds, okay, that’s fine. It’s ONE DROP in a big bucket of your dream, keep adding drops: actions, time, energy, words and see what happens as they add up.

Don’t get so focused on the short term that you forget to look ahead to the long term of it all and the life you are cultivating. How you get there and treat yourself on the way there is so important.

This is a photo from 2021 when I was doing the full run through edits of my book, over 4 years ago and it just boggles my mind, back then it felt like there was nothing else, and there has been so much life and events since. The thick of it will pass, the messy middle will find it’s way. Trust and keep doing what you need. I went through 100049494 iterations of my book before the final draft, that’s not true, it’s probably more like 40, but still. Each chapter had at least 10 versions I think, and the whole I printed out 7 times at Office Depot to run edits.

Keep going. Make the art. Write the things. Do it messy, do the next step, trust, breathe, follow your nudge lovely. It’s worth doing. It’s so worth doing.

You are the masterpiece. Sometimes we get so caught up in the rush that we forget to appreciate our own creation.

Take a moment today to look at yourself, your efforts, and the way you show up in the world—and see the art in it all.

You are so much more than what you do, you are the beautiful being doing it. 🌟

PS. And if you want some henna art as a reminder, let me know this is my last month in Korea I’m taking bookings!

Whether verbal or written, Aj’s words are like being enveloped in a hug from your favorite human. This book is a poetic blend of levity, play, and poignant truths.
It is both an invitation and an instruction manual to create a sanctuary to come home too, externally and within.

What would you love to hear me teach topic wise? I now host a weekly podcast called “Oh My Goodness!” and it’s been so much fun to share insights, and dive into different topics.

I’ve got a list I’m excited to move through to give new tools and language so you feel great in your own life, but I’d love to hear your thoughts as well!

We often think joy is a luxury, something we can’t afford when life is overwhelming. But, as you beautifully stated, joy isn’t just about moments of bliss; it’s also about alignment with our values, finding small pockets of peace, and knowing that we are worthy of experiencing them.
It’s not an either/or situation. We can hold both the joy and the challenges, even when they seem at odds.
I recently was navigating this when I went on my cruise, and so many things are happening in real time in America, and so enjoying the joy and also being aware of things back home and choosing to refill my cup so that I can show up well in my own life and in my community felt weird to navigate but also I feel restored and refreshed.

And also, damn it felt so so good to be around live music, and laughter, and warm weather. Don’t discount the very real impact chronic stress can have on your body and energy. Consciously choose to imbue your life with joy and notice the difference it’ll hold for you!

What’s your goal or dream you are working towards lately? Share below and let’s root each other on! I’m currently working on a cross-continental move back to the states and there are so many moving parts, but I’m remembering that all I can do is the next right thing and look ahead to what’s coming and plan accordingly.

What are your next steps this week towards your dream?

26/03/2025

Hi friends! Virtual Red Tent is tonight at 7 pm central. Our theme is dreaming and what that looks like and how we move forward in it if you'd like to join us! We also have euro friendly time one on Saturday at 6 am central!

Tent is for femme and enby folks, and sliding scale 10-20!
Link below, I'm really excited, we'll be doing soul art and a mini meditation!

Henna isn’t just for parties, one of my favorite ways to use henna is as a way to imbue your intentions into your skin. Whether you are calling in more flow, more structure, delight, or grounded peace, we can create a piece together that you love.

Message me to today to book your appointment, and if you don’t want to come alone, bring a friend to get henna done as well!

Do you feel energy? What does it feel like? Not sure? What does it feel like when you lay down at the end of a long day onto a couch or a bed with people you love? Relief or joy? What does that feel like in your body? That’s energy.

When you can tune into what you feel you can be aware of how those sensations can impact your day, what does overwhelm feel like? Dread? Excitement? Curiosity?

Energy work is more than grounding your energy so you don’t feel like a whirlwind, or tuning into the vibe of your goals, it’s about being able to name what you feel and then to decide how you want to process it and move through it to be able to do the next right thing instead of being stuck in it for hours or days.

We often think that to be effective, we need to do more. But sometimes, we need to do less in order to be more. The key to resilience is not about pushing harder—it’s about creating space for yourself.

Take a moment today to pull back from the chaos, give yourself permission to breathe, and reconnect with what matters.

Whether it’s taking a hot shower, sitting with a cup of tea, or just staring out the window for a few minutes, find that small space to reset. It’ll make all the difference.

Red Tent has changed my life. The connections and friendships within it have altered the way I see the world. So often when we gather as women we go or do something. Red Tent does have us exploring a topic together but it’s a space to truly exhale and breathe.

To check in how you are actually doing. We often do guided visual meditations and one lady shares, “Red tent has been the only times meditation actually worked for me, and it's wonderful to connect to your self and others in such a deep spiritual way.”

So what are you waiting for? Come join us in our Virtual Red Tent! You can reserve your spot on my website!

Curious about what working with me is like? I might have a lot of energy, but I’m also happy to sit in cozy space with you to help you as you process whatever you need during our session together. You can book a 1:1 session virtually or in person here in S. Korea!

“I am a private person with a large personal bubble, but this was still such an amazing experience. Aj made me feel comfortable, respected, and safe. She asked for consent every step of the way and made it clear that if I was feeling uncomfortable with anything she was doing, I could interrupt her to tell her to stop.

She also made sure the environment was to my liking and ending up building me a nest of pillows and blankets; it was lovely. Aj paced herself exceptionally. When I needed to take time in silence, either to focus on opening myself to the next step or to process emotions, she stayed quiet until I signaled that I was ready to proceed. The entire time she was validating (and not patronizing), compassionate, and loving.”
