ISTA - International School of Temple Arts provides one week trainings aimed at supporting people to find their true calling in life. That's what I have experienced through this magical journey that supported me to connect to my animal, inner child and sovereignty. That has taught me and lead me through fundamental knowledge and experiences of conscious communication, healthy boundaries, consent, inner wisdom and the right to live a life of pleasure, beauty and abundance ๐บ I've come out of this experience with a whole new set of skills that have radically influenced my life and that of most beings around me, and a rejuvinated gaze on life, humanity and the future of the Earth ๐ Now, if you feel done with a life made of compromises, of guilt and shame, of "why on earth did I do that?!", or "I am not good enough", this training is the opportunity to step forward into a new paradigm, to be surrounded by other humans thirsty for a menaing in life greater than making others rich by sacrificing your time and energy, drinking beer and eating shยฐt everyday โก There's no end to the infinite possibilities that await us on this magical journey called Life.

Hi Everyone! Another post From My Head to my Toes regarding consent- Since I do a lot of talking through my art, it can be a bit hard to go into the deep stuff, but one of the greatest challenges I faced was showing how different interactions could go when it comes to consent. I thought about the kid who doesnโt like to be tickled who gets tickled anyway, despite their protest. I thought about the adult figure who thinks everyone loves big hugs like she doesโฆ and the same adult figure who is a bit too comfortable crossing physical boundaries, and I thought about the kid who is either too afraid, or too uncomfortable with saying no to tell her to stop even though their mind is shouting it. This was a bit tough because not everyone who crosses boundaries knows they are crossing them (some people do for sure though, don't get me wrong,) but Sometimes people are just overly friendly, or they play a bit too rough or too much, or are just trying to comfort someone in need. I wanted to show that not all situations where consent isnโt considered is nefarious in nature, but that itโs essential in all scenarios that each person knows their boundaries, that theyโre able to communicate them, and the person or people they communicate them to respects them. #art #artist #love #drawing #artwork #painting #Alyraisman #Gymnast #consent #Frommyheadtomytoes #childrensbooks #beautiful #illustration #digitalart #design #bhfyp #sketch #style #draw #artoftheday #selflove #selfcare

Do you have a supressed Sub k!nk? There's an aspect of the Feminine that not many dare to acknowledge The Sacred Sub The Good Girl The Devotional Feminine This part of you yearns to surrender, let go of control, be guided and be led... In the name of High Consciousness and Love ๐ซฆ It's simply Feminine nature. When you suppress this part of you, you can bet she plays out some toxic patterns in your life (Like any suppressed part of our nature. This is the definition of Shadow) A supressed Sub k!nk looks like: ๐๐ผ Letting money have control over you. ๐๐ผ Giving your Devotion to the wrong man even when you knew he wasn't good for you ๐๐ผ Letting society, family control/ influence your life choices ๐๐ผ Not saying the thing you have to say in your business ๐๐ผ Asking money for permission to live your life ๐๐ผ People pleasing, not holding boundaries ๐๐ผ Toning down your essence in order to be more palatable This energy is rooted in lack of discernment and self-trust. This is your Shadow Sub The good news is you can transmute her, and when that happens she'll become your superpower ๐ ๐ค She will open you up to higher levels of consciousness ๐ค She'll show you limitlessness in love, plea.s.ure and abundance ๐ค She'll heal your relationship with the Divine Masculine ๐ค She'll heal your a Nervous System ๐ค She'll open you up to God's providership and protection I will show you how to activate your Sacred Sub in my upcoming Free Masterclass: The Sacred Art of Submission.

Revenge of the skirt: Final set up of latex hands and hand handbag for assessment tomorrow. The concept is based on personal space and consent. The skirt is often an article of clothing where often this boundary is crossed. This piece attempts to reverse this by placing a belt of latex hands over the skirt and enabling it to brush off people instead with its wandering hands while also gaining more personal space from predatory advances. PS I didn't make the top or skirt, just the hands and handbag #womensart #contemporaryart #latex #consent #consentmatters
GILBERT!!! We had some BIG wins with this guy yesterday! Yesterday was the first day he chose to hang out with us outside of his kennel! While he has had the opportunity to do so, he has always chosen to stay in his kennel instead, until yesterday! He hung out on the bed, on the couch next to us(though not asking for pets, just content to simply share our space, and that's OK!) We also discovered he is a shredder! So we let him have some fun shredding a cheap paper towel roll! AND he discovered the toy bag! He happily pulled out toys to play with them one-by-one and collected them on The dog bed when he finished with them! We are so proud of him in this breakthrough! We also wanted to thank all of the supporters of @acasadvocates that have followed his journey for the past few YEARS that he was at their shelter! And a thank you to everyone that pledged(and honored!) Donations toward him for our rescue! Your support is very helpful and SUPER appreciated! #rescueddogsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #shredder #enrichment #consent #positivereinforcement #pittierescue #pitbullsofinstagram #pittielove

Letโs teach children, especially girls ๐, to prioritize their own safety over the societal expectations of โhaving manners.โ Encourage children to say when they are uncomfortable around someone, praise them when they set a boundary, and echo that their voice matters.

Violence Prevention Thursday: Challenging Gender Norms Today, on Violence Prevention Thursday, let's talk about the importance of challenging gender norms for promoting gender equality and preventing violence. โจ Promoting gender equality: Gender norms often reinforce unequal power dynamics between men and women, leading to discrimination and inequality. Challenging these norms is essential for creating a more equal and just society where everyone has the same opportunities and rights. โจ Preventing violence: Many gender norms contribute to the normalization of violence and abuse. By challenging these norms, we can help create a culture where violence is not tolerated and where everyone feels safe and respected. โจ Supporting individual well-being: Gender norms can place pressure on individuals to conform to narrow and unrealistic expectations, leading to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Challenging these norms can help individuals feel more comfortable being themselves and expressing their true identities. โจ Creating more inclusive communities: Gender norms can be restrictive and exclusionary, particularly for individuals who do not conform to traditional gender roles. By challenging these norms, we can create more inclusive communities where everyone is accepted and valued for who they are. โจ Promoting acceptance and validation: Challenging gender norms involves challenging the idea that there is only one "correct" way to be a man or a woman. Instead, we should celebrate and validate the diverse ways that people express their gender identity, including non-binary identities. Challenging these gender norms is essential for promoting gender equality and preventing violence. By encouraging individuals to express themselves authentically and challenging traditional gender roles, we can create a more equitable and violence-free society. #EndSexualAssault #SafeAndSecureRelationships #ConsentCulture #CompassRapeCrisis #CompassRCC #YouMatter #ViolencePrevention #VictimAdvocacy #BystanderIntervention #Survivors #Consent #ViolencePreventionThursday
You are welcome to simply just start. Thatโs it. ๐โฅ๏ธ Like anything new, we must practice it and try again. Having patience and going at your slower than expected pace is important. Donโt rush the process because no one wants to be rushed ๐ learning something new especially if this is hard to understand. You are no longer a simply a survivor, you are thriving now. Maybe even very successful in your work life. However, we know that work is only a part of your life. You want to be closer to your children and understand them more. More importantly you want to protect them from ever having to go through what you went through in your life. Find activities โ๏ธthat you both you and your child can make memories with as time quickly passes by you. It doesnโt have to be complicated. It can simply going to get dessert or an enjoy outdoor games. Catching yourself ๐when you make mistakes is so important. Apologize with a simple: โI am sorry.โ Make that effort to learn from the moment. Then give yourself the gift of therapy. A skilled therapist that knows how abusive family systems work is essential in your healing. Does this resonate with you? I am accepting clients in the ๐Carolinas and in ๐Illinois.

Finding a new therapist, or a therapist for the first time, can be a daunting task. You may not know what to look for or what questions to ask. While a therapist may look perfect for you on paper, if you donโt have a good rapport or you feel hesitant to share things with them, then they may not be the right fit for you. All new therapists take time to adjust to, but if you feel uncomfortable with the therapist and you find that over time, you find yourself keeping information from them, we encourage you to look again. Therapy is a type of relationship, and not all people fit together in that way. This doesnโt necessarily mean they are a bad therapist, that you cannot be helped, or that therapy is ineffective, it just means they arenโt the right one for you. It can be hard to start again with a new therapist, but you and your recovery are worth it! #ShatteringTheSilence #CoercionIsNotConsent #ConsentIs #Consent #ConsentIsMandatory #ConsentCulture #EndRapeCulture #Consensual #EndSexualViolence #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth2024 #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthRecovery
An important reminder when we talk about boundaries: โA boundary is something that you have to determine for yourself โ not something you can force someone else to comply with.โ -Britt Caron โจ Boundaries are personal: Each person has the right to create and maintain boundaries that feel comfortable and appropriate for them. โจ Boundaries are dynamic: They may evolve over time based on experiences, circumstances, and personal growth. โจ Boundaries require communication: Clearly expressing boundaries to others is essential for mutual understanding and respect. โจ Boundaries are not fixed: They can be adjusted as needed and may vary depending on the context and the relationship. โจ Boundaries promote self-care: Respecting and upholding boundaries is a form of self-care that supports emotional well-being and healthy relationships.

Iโm so grateful to @clairelegrandbooks for this incredible blurb. Claire was the first author to read for me, and her early words of support buoyed me through the final stages of production. I canโt wait to share Sophieโs story with everyone this summer. Thereโs still time to enter the giveaway on Goodreads!โจ โMelanie Conklinโs pitch-perfect voice paints this story of changing friendships, peer pressure, and anxiety with humor and gentle candor. The characters are warm and complex, and smart, brave Sophie is a narrator you canโt help but root for. I wish I could place this book into the hands of my younger self and tell her, โYouโre not alone.โย A beautiful story bursting with love on every page.โ - Claire Legrand, New York Times-bestselling author of Some Kind of Happiness . More about CRUSHED: A heartfelt middle grade story about changing friendships, peer pressure, and the courage to speak up when lines are crossed, perfect for fans of Starfish and The Benefits of Being an Octopus.ย Sophie Valentine would rather be at home, doing school virtually. Instead, sheโs waiting in a crowded middle school for her best friend, Eve, whoโs finally back after an extended absence only Sophie knows the truth about. But when Eve returns, their friendship is strained. ย When rumors surface that Eve is hiding a painful secret, Sophie is spurred to investigate whatโor whoโcaused the incident behind Eveโs sudden change...and why all clues lead back to the Crash Crew, a group of popular kids notorious for their social media dares. Using forensics lessons from her science class and a new friendโs help, Sophie must uncover the truth before more harm is done. #metoo #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #childrensbooks #kidlit #mysterybooks #mysteries #socialmedia #kidsbooks #newbooks #advancereadercopies #sneakpreview #mglit #consent #comingsoon

In the realm of human interaction, the distinction between convincing and consent delves into the deeper layers of autonomy and agency. While persuasion may sway opinions, genuine consent transcends mere agreementโit embodies the acknowledgment of individual sovereignty and the respectful recognition of oneโs boundaries and desires. In essence, consent is not a product of manipulation or coercion but a manifestation of mutual respect and understanding in the complex tapestry of human relationships. #Consent #Autonomy #Agency #Respect #Boundaries #HumanInteraction #Philosophy #Ethics #Empowerment #MutualUnderstanding #Sovereignty #Persuasion #Voluntary #Freedom #IndividualRights #Relationships #Communication #Empathy #Equality #InformedConsent #SelfDetermination #SelfRespect #EmpowermentThroughConsent #Morality #Values #ConsciousLiving #MutualAgreement #PersonalBoundaries #SocialJustice

Children are part of many organisations and services. Making these places child safe plays a key role in preventing and identifying child abuse. When we entrust others with the care of our most vulnerable it's essential services have a child safe culture and child safe practices. Whilst the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations are not yet mandatory in WA organisations and services are strongly encouraged to implement them. Consider asking the organisation your child is attending what they have in place. Here's a range of things that would be desirable. Child Protection Policy & Procedure Code of Conduct - What's Expected, Accepted & Not Tolerated Code of Ethics Service Values Is Child Protection and Abuse Prevention Education provided to staff Are staff aware of their Mandatory & Non-Mandatory Reporting obligations Are there guidelines about physical contact between adults and children and between children What is the services mobile phone policy Is it clear how the organisation recruits and conducts checks on staff and volunteers. Does the service seek references from recent employers. Is it clear how parents raise a concern Is it clear how parents are involved if an issue arises Does the organisation regularly review policies and procedures Is there regular internal or external auditing Do staff know what to do if a child discloses abuse Are children taught Protective Behaviours & Body Safety This is by no means an exhaustive list, rather a starting place.
