The Return of Boldness

There was a time I moved through the world with wild certainty—untamed and unapologetic. Decisions were made on instinct, not consensus. Direction came from an inner wind, not a carefully drawn map. It wasn’t always graceful. But it was honest. That kind of boldness—raw and reckless—softened over time. Shaped by experience. Refined by responsibility. Quieted by the subtle weight of…

From Love of Power Games to Power of Love (and new leaderhip) - A Call to Rise

In our journey of self-discovery and awakening, some fundamental questions and concepts need to be re-examined, even elevated. One of the most important is the question we so often ask: What is the purpose of my life? But what if the more expansive, transformative question is: What is the purpose of life itself? And within that grand design, what is my role?

This shift moves us from a self-centered quest for meaning to a life-centered one. It calls us not only to discover our personal mission but to recognize how we fit into the vast, intricate story of life—its evolution, its intelligence, and its continuity long before and after us.

Power as the Currency of Life

We often think of money as the ultimate power, but the deepest currency we truly have is energy. Our sense of power rises and falls with our energy—how we protect it, nourish it, or allow it to drain away. Fear, insecurity, and imbalance in our energetic system—our chakras—can cause us to leak power, sometimes even seeking safety in familiar patterns that ultimately disempower us.

Empowerment isn’t a buzzword; it’s a daily practice in energy management. It’s about understanding the dynamics of power, not in egoic or fear-based terms, but in alignment with a larger question: What serves life? Not just my life, but life as a whole.

The Power Game: A System Meant to Drain Us

We are witnessing a global power game—a new era of control that drags us into the lower chakras, into survival mode, where power is defined by money, violence, fame, and dominance. This system encourages us to operate from fear, insecurity, and competition. It depletes our energy and reduces our experience to the 3D: body, ego, scarcity.

The work of true rebellion is to opt out. To stop playing the game by its rules. To reclaim power by healing the wounds that keep us trapped in this energetic loop—our money wounds, witch wounds, sister wounds, leadership wounds. These are not metaphors; they are real energetic imprints in our system.

Building the New Through the Body

The revolution starts in the body. Through chakra work, energetic healing, and deep self-care, we restore our vitality. We rise from depletion into strength—not just for ourselves but to become part of a critical mass that shifts the energetic balance on Earth.

Leadership, then, is not about directing others. It’s about how we meet our own wounds, triggers, and responsibilities. It’s about seeing our elevation as service—to the Earth, to future generations, and to each other. It’s not about becoming superhuman. It’s about becoming fully human—radiant, conscious, and grounded in love.

Detoxing From Fear and Anger

We must feel our emotions. But we must also detox from the chemical and energetic residue that fear, stress, and anger leave behind. This isn’t spiritual bypassing; it’s spiritual strength training. We allow our pain to teach us, not define us. Our heartbreak becomes the birthplace of compassion.

Compassion isn’t pity. It’s the deep understanding that comes from walking through the fire and choosing love anyway. It’s boundaries, not barriers. It’s self-respect, not self-sacrifice.

From Love of Power to the Power of Love

The path forward is not individual, yet it begins with each of us. It is time to move from the love of power to the power of love. To elevate ourselves beyond fear and victimhood, beyond ego and identity, into a collective force that can shift the direction of this world.

This is a call to gather. To create community. To rise, not in isolation, but in connection. To do this together.

Are you ready to rise?

There is good in everyone, but greatness is not in all. These children will grow up to be a great people, living on a path of love and unity. There is no separation, when you embrace all before you. These children will have the best guardian and big brother anyone can ask for. This bond is so touching and incredible, it is deemed real. I do recall, two years ago when I was just starting to practice with them and I was mocked with hatred comments. The children were perhaps 6 to 14 years old. As shocking as I didn’t expect such behaviour, I had learned then that to have a heart of gold, it isn’t easy. These children are diamonds in my eyes. Thank you young ones. If you enjoy seeing the progress of my work in communities of Uganda 🇺🇬 then it's time to make it bigger by giving that small donation of a coffee ☕ so that we can make our dreams and goals come alive. Below is the gofundme link to donate in. https://gofund.me/d3aba5d0 Also check out in my bio for the link to donate. Being a yoga, acroyoga, meditation and Lindyhop, swing dance instructor makes me feel happy to share with my community that love of togetherness. @maputoafroswing is our target this March to attend it with some of the students, you support will count us closer to the goal. @naomishandsomedevils @ty_robert_johnson @cocoswingmarseille @yoga @lululemon @lululemonsg @lululemoneurope @lululemonmy @lululemontw @aloyoga @yolohayoga @littlebigswingcamp @blacklindyhf @pacificswingdance @sunnysideswingstudio @leelapetronio @gustavandlaia @roottorize #yoga #yogamats #yogateacher #Roottorise #yogaheals #yogapose #yogainschools #yogaaddict #yogainprisons #communityyoga #communityswing #childrenmentalhealth #slumyoga #kidsyoga #lindyhopperslife #lindy #LindyHop #solojazz #swingout #swingdancelife #SwingDanceUganda #healthylifestyle #heartofdanceafricanrhythm #instructorokurutgeorge https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1XA9coBXG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The holidays has come to an end for some of the students as school calls them back again. In Uganda on 09th January 2023, that's when candidate classes from some schools have reported back to start up first term as last year's third term was cut short due to #ebola out break. This is the most important moment for me with children to practice #meditation as we prepare them to get back to school. Their minds has be in present and set their goals and objectives of this year. If you have your students there and you need them to acquire this kind of knowledge then hesitate to contact me anytime. Thanks so much to @roottorize for their generous supports of #yogamats and if you need quality yoga pants then just check out their website or page and purchase the best from them.

Join Zoe VIRTUALLY for an evening of play as we connect deeper to our intuition and the forecast of the stars! We will be blending the art of tarot with the science of astrology to create a stronger understanding of the current astrological forecast as well as create a custom spread to tap into our own innate wisdom during this time! . The theme this month is to return to our roots and to ground ourselves in abundance and prosperity as we enter the season of Taurus. It is also a time in the year where we can start tapping into our full potential with greater ease. . . Have your journal & your tarot deck handy. NO TAROT OR ASTROLOGY EXPERIENCE NEEDED! . 📸 @merakii_magickk #astrotarot #whatHYTlookslike #homeyoga #witchywoman #writteninthestars #tarottime #astrologylover #spirited #fullmoon #wingedandrooted #roottorise #spiritualhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zeEaZAm5F/?igshid=1o7vz6t3owozs
