My dad has told me my whole life: “The more you do, the more you can do.” When it comes to being a creator, there’s nothing more true. We dilute ourselves often — over-protecting our energy, minimizing our output, and trying to figure out how we can do less, not more. There can be benefit to this in certain circumstances. But for the most part, we were born to create. And when we’re not actively creating — working on projects, giving gifts, participating in community — we’re not really happy. Even the most introverted of us. Dave, owner of the Istana and our business partner — the one who hosts the meditation Truth Talks with Leo said to me in a meeting one day: “Justice, do you know what the Blue Zones are?” I said yes. He said, “Do you know what makes up a Blue Zone — what the most important aspects are?” I said, “Yeah… clean air, nutrient-dense soil and food, super clean water, good air quality…” And then I drew a blank. He said, “Yes — all of those are great. And all of them are irrelevant compared to the one you missed.” Community. The Japanese have a principle called ikigai. Ikigai literally means: “the reason you get up in the morning” or “that which makes life worth living.” Or purpose. And all science shows that when human beings lose purpose, they stop working, stop moving, stop participating — and they die. They wither away. We have to find things to be doing, to be creating, to be working on. We flourish the most when we’re creating. So ask yourself: What are you not allowing yourself to create right now? What story might you be telling yourself about why you don’t have the energy, the time, or the resources to do it? How much are you diluting yourself into thinking you can’t do the thing — when really, you can? This is my reflection for today :) Go create. Go work on your passions. Go out and dance. Be in community. Find a way to give your gifts to the world. I promise, happiness will follow. Peace and Love, Justice

AYEE, New Earth Gang, We’re starting a new initiative inside New Earth University to bring more fun, playful, interactive events onto the calendar. Less seriousness. Less “space-holding only.” More playing, creating, laughing, expressing, connecting. Healing doesn’t always come from digging deeper into trauma. Sometimes healing happens when we hold life lightly, move our bodies, use our voices, and laugh together. The Buddha is laughing for a reason 😄 ✨ Our Vision for what’s coming Starting next month, were looking to add new interactive expression-based experiences, including some ideas like: - Live script readings - Poetry & writing workshops - Voice liberation & expression labs - Stand-up / storytelling / spoken word - Movement, dance & embodiment - Intuitive art, sketching, painting - Open philosophical discussions - Free-writing & creative play spaces The intention is liberation of expression… Not Perfection. We’d also love your feedback on the current events and how they are being facilitated, what’s awesome and what needs work: - What would make them even better? So.. What Do YOU Want to See? Drop in the comments: - What kinds of playful / expressive events would you love more of? - What helps you feel most alive, open, and creatively free? - Is there something you’d love to host or facilitate yourself? More Examples: - Poetry nights - Dance or movement journeys - Breathwork - Voice activation - Creative jams - Art + music + flow - Philosophical salons - Anything fun, expressive, and human Want to Host? If you’d like to host an event, that opportunity for now is exclusively available to NEU Alumni and students, so if you'd like to join.. JOIN THE UNIVERSITY become a Conscious Creator and full send it with us! We'd be more then happy to serve you in sharing your gifts! We’re trying to build a community that creates together, plays together cry’s laughs, learns, and all the other magic this life has to offer! A place where expression is celebrated. Where play is sacred. Where we dance our way through life. WE Can’t wait to hear your ideas

Hi ladies 🌹 Just a reminder that we will be gathering in circle this Wednesday, 11.19. I'm excited to welcome my dear friend and wisdom keeper, @Sarah Connolly, as a co-facilitator for this week's call. She will be sharing a potent transmission about the death and rebirth process of our soul's evolutionary path. Bring a warm drink, a journal, and your full presence. Looking forward to sitting in circle with you. 💜 Check the calendar for your timezone and the Zoom link.

I was born into war. Four years old, suitcase in hand, watching my father stay behind and my mother hold three girls together. I learned early to protect, to silence, to be strong. I became everyone’s anchor and lost my own play. Beauty, ease, and laughter slowly turned into control, achievement, and guilt. I did everything right — school, career, success — yet felt like an actor in the wrong play. By 2017, the mask of “the perfect life” was polished to perfection… and completely empty. Crisis At the top of my career I realised I couldn’t breathe. The mask cracked. It wasn’t depression; it was the soul demanding to live. I saw that I had become my family’s system, the company’s system, the world’s system — and none of them were truly me. That was the first time I said “no” to the world, and “yes” to myself — without knowing it. Letting go was my first real success. Chase So I tried to redesign my life like a project. I made “the best résumé in the world,” shaped like playing cards, and called it Let’s Play. I thought I was chasing a new job. In truth, I was inviting Life itself to play with me. What looked like career creativity was actually self-therapy — a way out of numbness through imagination, the first sign that play was returning to my world. Conflict Without roles and titles, I felt naked. The dragons were many: fear of love, fear of the unknown, fear of being seen. The biggest one was the belief that I had to earn worthiness. Alcohol, performance, and perfection were my armour. Each time I dropped one, I met another layer of fear. When love finally knocked, I realised the fiercest dragon was the fear of receiving it. That’s when the real war ended. Breakthrough Love appeared — not the fairy-tale kind, but the one that burns illusions. Through him, I saw my soul. Through pain, I met God. I let go of the idea that I control the story and started listening instead. I realised: life is not a problem to solve but a dance to join. 2017 cracked the wall; what poured in was light, laughter, and guidance I couldn’t explain but couldn’t deny.

I hope this post won’t land weirdly, it’s coming from a place of curiosity as I am merging where I’m at in my life and spirituality with dating. I would really love to have some open honest conversations with men in the community, around self pleasure, p*rn, semen retention and your views & beliefs. So if you’re a man and you have anything to say on this please drop me a message or leave a comment. Would really appreciate hearing from men, as I sound out my own feelings & beliefs around this.
