My conversation with Ashley Boriack. Ashley is a photographer, artist, yogi and fellow human walking the walk...somatically. We talked about 4 demential creativity versus embodied creativity and what both practices can offer us. We got into the art of collaboration, resistance and how coming out of the pandemic we feel somatically called to collaboration. What really has to happen for that to be a healthy and realized process within itself?

We create magic ✨
Ashley .yang.ash and I have been curating ✨We have been so curious to explore our creative process, surrendering to the trust it takes to be in it. When everything feels unknown, when the pressure seems on to take some sort of action, what parts of ourselves can we make space for? What parts of us speak this sort of truth that makes space for the next right step? It can be an incredibly nuanced practice. What I recognize in my own process, is often I judge my truth. I want to create something that appears better than, from what is actually coming thru me. I realized that this judgement of my own truth is what keeps me from creating my life. It is a practice in first feeling for it and then giving “her” that part of me, a voice to express it. Life is weird that way, we feel something and first we judge it as good or bad and then put it to the side. Our brains say, thats not true, maybe if I am more compassionate, understanding, good, maybe if I pull a card or exercise more…I will let go of this part of me that feels out of line. So we do that, for a long time. We put things aside. Then we wonder why we feel like s**t. Why we feel depressed (as we press down our truest true). But the thing is that I recognize, when I express my truest true, even when it feels messy and comes out all jumbled around, when it looks like I’m crazy…I feel lighter! I feel better! The things that I want, to feel closer to my people, to myself, to trust myself….it actually happens! Just by expressing myself. Just by giving all of me a space to say the thing, create w/ the thing, to quit bypassing and spiritualizing, trying to ignore aka: “letting go” of the thing. My practice is to make some space for it, for me, to exist. All of me. And to notice what I notice. And to say, I feel, I know, I am.

We will step into our practice of expression. We will explore nuance, some somatic tools for giving our body a voice. We will invite in the lightness of this process + we will make space for what wants to be expressed, in the desert, on the summer solstice, we will howl under the starry sky.

The portal.
There’s a certain frequency you can sense when you arrive in the Trans-Pecos borderlands of Marfa, Texas. Nestled in the Davis Mountains and on the edges of Big Bend, the frequency reverberates in her landscape of nothingness and everything as far as the eye can see. There is this openness for you to stand in, who you are here to be. She doesn’t ask you to be gentle about it either. You either do …or you don’t. But you want to. You want to feel your wildness against her openness because you can sense from there, there is absolutely no way you will return back to exactly how you were before you got there. Her desert fire offers clarity, alchemizes and activates your most Wild call. She calls our names and we say, yes…yes! Marfa changes everything if we dare to let her.

If you've never heard of Marfa, you are in for a treat. This land is full of history and energy that is incredibly unique and rich with culture and the stories of vibrancy, creativity and duality. 

In "Women Who Run With the Wolves"says, "You see there is a place in the desert where the spirit of wolves meet across time. I felt I was onto something when in the Texas borderlands I heard a story called Loba Girl about a woman who was a wolf who was a woman"

The lands of Marfa holds a quite an expansive energy. In and around the 1970's artists began moving into Marfa following the inspiration of artist, Donald Judd. Over the years the art culture has distinguished quite a unique and pioneering voice whose perspective is definitely worth experiencing. 

Fun Facts about Marfa: 
Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean filmed "Giant" in Marfa. Also, "There will be blood", "Oil!", "I Love Dick" with Kevin Bacon, "No Country for Old Men" and Beyonce, among others...all created and filmed in Marfa.

👽Marfa Lights is a mysterious part of the desert where moving lights appear at the horizon in the open night sky.

There are amazing art inspiration galleries, cool shops, El Cosmico and fun to be had at a natural cold spring in the middle of the dessert, Balmorrea Springs.

This trip to Marfa we will be exploring creativity and expression thru the lens of somatic understanding. What does that mean?

Our body as Object vs Our Body as Process…
We will lay a foundation of how our sensory system contracts and expands, and how our body expresses this pendulation. We can practice these tools to access where our energy is, whether she is in the body or outside of us and we can get in touch with what she needs to feel safety, and practice meeting ourselves exactly where we are. From this sense of safety, “our girl”, our soul, our inner voice, has the space to choose to receive and take in, pleasure practice ...or move energy, take up space and express herself. We will begin to access this process thru movement in our spine and follow her all the way out into our finger tips, thru our brushes, from our toes into the dirt.

Giving and Receiving
There is a conscious place for both. Receiving can often be the most baffling. We are certain we know what we don’t like, but is there space to explore what we do like? What we want, who we are and to take it all in to nourish a need that we have inside of us.

This trip is 4 days of practice, of pleasure, of expression. What could it feel like to offer the space to meet ourselves moment to moment, to get in touch with how we feel vs what the world wants? It's revolutionary and my hope is to give you the tools and the experience to come home with.

We got the call 📞👽 and we are going 🌵💗 This year we are feeling Love in our body’s flow, and Peace in her divine expression! What would it be like to be creative and to be seen? To let our bodies play and dance and laugh and chill. To just be. To roll in the grass, make art, drink Topo Chico, laugh with your friends, sing out loud, talk to the desert and listen for her echoes.

We will drop in and explore what creative mediums communicate her desires. We will get curious what form she takes when she feels safe enough to express. We will make space to experience steadiness. And we will practice living tenaciously!

Space is limited. Reach out if you’re interested for more information. Link in bio or https://nocowildspirit.com/retreat-to-marfa-2023 will get you there 🌀

Way back in 2019 Wild Spirit took its 3rd trip to the desert of West Texas. We went on a mission to “Pierce the Veil” 👽 to shift from operational human to our most creative, natural and wild selves. We danced, we did art, we talked about listening and following our instincts, we went to galleries, we went to nature, we circled in inspiration, in truth…in pleasure and joy and laughter! We got stopped by the train and we lept out of the van and danced in the streets! That was my favorite memory.

Every once in awhile I will get a call asking when are we going back to Marfa?? And I feel like Marfa is calling and I am being drawn to retreat to her soon! Who’s in??!

Women have always cradled within their bodies secret mysteries of life, death, and rebirth and the healing, grounding, and balancing powers of our Mother in the Earth. We have held these mysteries sacred within us as we would carry babies in our wombs. - Elizabeth Eiler

Maui is truly a sacred land. It holds us gently to go into our hearts and navigate our experience tobthis divine expression of ourselves. Together we will tap into our loving awareness through yoga, art and processing worshops to break through the patterns that keep us from experiencing our divinity. Maui is a manifestation of God as the divine mother. She offers us this reflection to go inward and feel all the love and nourishment we are hungry for. 🌈 Join us February 24, 2020 on the North Shore of Maui at the Hale Akua Organic Farm & Retreat Center for a heart opening experience.
