community tings ~

Greetings, you all ~

I mostly use my blog to write and muse out loud regarding what each new month may have in store, from a divinatory perspective. I write these poems with the intention to seed timelines, to express from my own timeline and to help weed through various timelines, even if I’m not directly involved with how those timelines unfold.

This post is a little different from that. I’m writing this to share and announce with you, my reader’s, where I have been spending most of my time on the internet: The Broom Discord Server.

The Broom is a collaborative garden and discord server that is a hub for a myriad of spiritual practices, lineage work, shit-talking and to me? It also is a space that acts as a living altar for the work I love to do, most.

And I write this to formally invite each of you to join me in The Broom.

to join, please click the link: here

The invitation to join the broom is currently open to the public and I look forward to meeting you there. If you run into any issues with joining, feel free to message me, here or you can email me (intrepidbodies@gmail.com) to receive the invite, directly.

With warmth,

Hoda.

#thestick - a lineage with safety and justice in mind.

the broom discord server is an online community for spiritual refinement. which at this point, feels almost like a rally cry, or an affirmation of how much actually happens in the server.

i take it that i’ll spend more time elucidating and sharing what happens in #thebroom, at another time. however, i wanted to take the time to introduce you all to a specific lineage space, known as - #thestick. #thestick is a lineage space, one of many, within broom discord server and we have been working, behind-the-scenes to define and redefine and eventually: outline the parameters of the question:

what is metaphysical safety?

i cannot imagine one person having the definition for what constitutes safety. i also cannot imagine any one of us being a stranger to un-safe metaphysical and even physical, interactions with other people. and so my intention is to put leg work behind creating true safe environments. not carceral one’s. not environments where only people who match and meet the demands of the status quo are gifted with metaphysical and physical safety. that, to me, is unacceptable.

i have also spent some time digesting the question of metaphysical safety, as well. and realized that i was so adamant about learning the parameter’s of metaphysical safety, because i had been metaphysically violated. and without un-earthing the painful details of how that kind of astral meddling de-railed my life’s trajectory, i’ll say for the sake of this post: i kind of made it a point to ensure that other’s who come across un-hygenic practitioner’s in the spiritual arena, do not have to suffer at the rate i did.

and from there, along with hours of processing and catharsis with other members in #thebroom, we voted and concluded, that #thestick would be a space for people to fill out forms to begin this process . to read a bit more about #thestick in reference to #thebroom, please see the screenshot below. to expand, click on the photo to be directed to the document in it’s entirety.

next: if you feel, after reading these parameter's, you can recall moments where you experienced un-safe interactions, praxis or containers - then i welcome you to fill out the google form created by members of #thestick to report incidents, below.

the safety form is one way for @safetyinspectors of #thestick to keep track of reports. it is also an earnest attempt to safely, surface accounts of metaphysical harm and if aligned? to facilitate communal reconciliation. if you have any questions about the nature of #thestick or this form, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at: intrepidbodies@gmail.com
