[ Be a luminary maker in dark times. ]
A gathering & grounding for loving leaders & creatives.
Sustaining our stamina to hold spaces of hope, healing, and humanity in these times requires a particular devotion and practice.
In this 2-hour free class, together we tend to the scaffolding that holds up our sacred commitments to exist as luminaries in darkness.
Some of us will need to build and operate well-lit infrastructure, no matter how heavy the world feels outside. I want you to feel focused and trusting as you do.
Now is not the time to question if your work has a place in the world. If you should wait to be creative, wait to share your ideas, wait to build your vision until things feel lighter.
Beloved, you are the light. You are here to make it lighter for your worlds.
You don’t do this alone. Here, let me lighten your load a little right now as we chat.
[ What we will cover. ]
Why you must build & offer what you build now. Receive a summons to quiet your doubts and mobilize your gifts into action.
What you must do to cultivate your luminary-building capacity & mastery. Review rhythms & rituals to sustain our work and expansion.
What holds your building work as you human during these times. Realign your scaffolding for more complexity, nuance, and paradox so that your entire humanity can exist coherently with your building work.
Be in the gathering in real time.

劉永真
Hi, I’m Joey.
I can’t remember when I first started calling myself “storyteller” but I know my email signature has read “Learner - Adventurer - Storyteller” since my Hotmail days.
I started telling stories to keep the peace. Whether I was telling stories or pulling stories out of my family members, there would be moments of deep joy & connection in otherwise chaotic surroundings.
Storytelling as coping matured into storytelling as healing when I deepened my practice in narrative self-inquiry (research) and creative self-expression (spoken word poetry).
My studies in decolonization & Kundalini yoga helped me anchor the practices of my story work in: coming home to my body, healing my nervous system, and finding my sovereignty — rooted in joy-making, creativity, and communion.
Along the way, storytelling as connection, as belonging, as liberation became the throughline in my travels around the globe, my teaching in classrooms, my speaking on mics, becoming a wife & mother, and, now, the work that connects me to you.
Story work allows me to free myself & others continuously. I hope you get free too.
