Observing Silence

Observing Silence

Observing silence in community with others is a powerful practice, one that reveals insights about yourself, your energy, and the dynamics of the group around you. In a world where we often rely on words, facial expressions, and even the subtlest of gestures to communicate, being told not to communicate at all—especially with your eyes or face—can feel incredibly unnatural. But it is in this stillness that true observation and deep listening can emerge.

For melanated people, whose cultural expressions often thrive in the vibrant nuances of body language, eye contact, and facial expressions, this type of silence holds even greater meaning. We are often conditioned to convey so much through a look, a raised eyebrow, a smirk, or a tilt of the head. It’s how we connect, how we bond, how we affirm one another without speaking a single word. So when this avenue of communication is stripped away, it’s like a shift in our spiritual practice. It invites a deeper internal dialogue—one that transcends the surface-level exchanges we’ve mastered.

In spaces like a tantric shaman training retreat, the power of silence can be an invitation to feel into the energy of others without the need for visual or verbal validation. The practice calls you to tune into your own body’s rhythm, becoming more aware of your breath, heartbeat, and subtle sensations. You may even notice the energy fields of others, the way their presence shifts the air around you, or how your own inner state fluctuates in response.

This silent communication is not about shutting down; rather, it’s about expanding into a different realm of understanding. It invites the spirit to speak where words cannot. In such spaces, where the richness of Black Girl Tantra comes alive, the silence becomes sacred. It holds the potential for unspoken rituals of healing, of grounding, and of ancestral connection. In the stillness, the weight of our collective experiences—the joy, the pain, the resilience—can be felt and acknowledged in a way that transcends spoken language.

Silence, then, becomes more than just the absence of sound. It’s a profound act of listening to the unseen, the unsaid, and the ancestral wisdom that lingers in the gaps. Whether in a sacred space in Covington or in the quiet moments of our day-to-day lives, practicing silence in community allows us to deepen our connection not only with ourselves but with each other.

I Did A Thing…

I Did A Thing…

After 10 months of deep study, self-discovery, and transformation, along with a powerful 4-day intensive, I am beyond proud to share that I have emerged as a Tantric Shamanic Healer Apprentice. This journey has been nothing short of profound—a deep dive into the mysteries of self, spirit, and the art of healing through the ancient practices of tantra and shamanism. This is not just a title I carry; it is a calling, a sacred responsibility, and a vow that I have taken to live in alignment with my truth and purpose.

As I step into this role, I have taken a vow to model a life of pleasure, joy, and authentic connection, both with myself and with others. Pleasure is not something we need to earn or deserve—it is our birthright. Yet so many of us have been conditioned to believe that pleasure is a luxury, something to feel guilty about, or something that comes only after we’ve worked ourselves to exhaustion. My mission is to help shift that narrative. Pleasure is a path to healing, to self-awareness, and to deeper spiritual connection. It allows us to fully inhabit our bodies, honor our desires, and live in the present moment with intention.

In my apprenticeship, I have learned that living a life of pleasure isn’t about indulgence for its own sake—it’s about removing the obstacles that block us from fully experiencing joy, connection, and fulfillment in our everyday lives. Whether those obstacles are rooted in fear, shame, trauma, or limiting beliefs, I am committed to helping others identify and clear them so they can reclaim their right to a life filled with pleasure, purpose, and wholeness.

The Tantric Shamanic path is one of healing, balance, and sacred transformation. It integrates ancient wisdom with the modern need for spiritual liberation and self-empowerment. Through this work, I will guide others to connect with their bodies, tap into their inner power, and heal the wounds that have kept them from living freely and joyfully. This is about more than just physical pleasure—it’s about soul-level healing, about aligning with the energy of the universe and recognizing the sacredness in every aspect of life.

As I continue this journey, I hold immense gratitude for my teachers, guides, and ancestors who have supported me along the way. This is only the beginning of a lifelong path of learning and service. I am here to help others embrace their own journeys, to live in their full power, and to experience the deep, transformative healing that tantra and shamanism can bring.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with me. I am excited to continue learning, growing, and sharing this powerful work with the world.

#TheQueen has indeed stepped into a new chapter, and I am ready to embrace it fully.
