We see Capricorn energy as an expression of earthly, sacred sexuality—a devotion to our deepest desires. It is the wild woman dancing with Saturn, Father Time, embodying the structure that allows creation to flourish. (I can already feel the swoon of meeting Saturn in the temples of India…)
The contraction necessary for the seeds of our heart’s desires to germinate within protection and peace—however uncomfortable or resistant we may be to it—is an essential and natural part of the process.
In Tantra, we do not suppress desire; we surrender it to the Divine. We honor the unseen, fertile potential before it manifests into something tangible, something we might seek to extract from.
We practice standing together in the vulnerable terrain of our weak-kneed triggers, and we rest in the fertile soil of our shimmering truths. It is messy. It is meant to be.
Do you know what drains us most in our sacred creative and relational work in the world? The refusal to consciously offer it to the infinite Source of Love Herself. This withholding exhausts us more than the labor itself, for creation without surrender becomes separation—a forgetting of the divine thread that runs through all we touch.
{this is what we’ll be doing in our 21 day miracles and madness course - writing daily and offering our desires to Love as a radical devotional act. not just to get more, but to be a part of giving in a way that is receptive and regenerative. join us we being january 1st!}
You know what keeps stress stored in our system more than having to show up for mundane reality? The conditioning that we inherited that says mundane reality is not sacred, that our symptoms are to be ignored otherwise fixed by a system. There is no where I see this show up more than in our womb healing work and in unique our sacred purpose here on Earth.
Take a moment to listen above to our class on womb healing and the transformative power of writing and community sharing. Together, we explore the essence of holistic healing—embracing our symptoms not solely through the lens of diagnosis but as an integral part of our wholeness.
This practice invites us to remain whole even amidst the experiences of physical and chronic illness, emotional and physiological challenges, ADHD, and all the beautifully "neuron-spicy" ways we perceive and move through the world. Special thanks to Alexandra, Maia and Jacky for sharing their wisdom, strength and hope with us.
What systems and structures are you releasing under this Blessed New Moon in Capricorn? I’m quite literally leaving the U.S. (heading to India—yay!), which, while bittersweet, always feels so deeply liberating.
It’s winter here, and we each hold a unique relationship to the darkness—a relationship that, in my view, needs to be decolonized. I’m not making light of depression; rather, I’m pointing to its spectrum. Sometimes a diagnosis or label brings a settling to the nervous system, particularly in a society that survives on separation and denies the profound effects of systemic trauma—and trauma itself. ADHD, for me, has been like that: both a clarity and a container.
But unless the diagnosis is holistic—addressing every layer of being, down to the soul—it risks becoming a disservice. Recognition without relationship fails to honor our human resilience and interconnected healing magnificence.
Some doctors might not be able to explain why your arms are burning, keeping you awake at night. But your arms can, if you create space for them to move, write, and push. (A small but meaningful example.)
After our last embodied intimacy retreat, participants shared how they experienced in one weekend what they had been talking through in therapy for years. Some symptoms begin to lessen when we are deeply listened to. And for the symptoms that don’t fade—because imperfect health and aging are inevitable—they, too, can be held in a wider web of care.
This web includes not just human community but all sentient beings: the plants, the planets, the stars, your guides, and your angels. Even the Goddess can attend to your symptoms. When there is nothing left to fix and surrender is the only agenda, the body becomes the perfect temple for practice—a sacred vessel of resilience and release.
Thank you for being a part of our Body Temple Community. Sending you all the space for compassionate inner reflection during this transitional time, and if you want some gentle but firm support to make the time and widen your oracular training - we are here for you.
Warm and well wishes,
Adriana and the Body Temple Team
