You're on a tender & wild journey.

Not to become someone else, but to be more you.

You yearn for sovereignty: To feel both deeply connected and fiercely free.

And I'm right here with you.

I'm here to be your ally and your soul's gentle companion.

I'm here to witness your deep remembering and your brave new becoming.

Take my hand.

 

My heart is soft.

My name means "life" and sounds like "leave".

My soul longs for the full expression, sovereignty, and sacred unfolding of every sensitive being.

My work is here to serve anyone who identifies with and/or yearns for healing and deepening of the sacred feminine.

I'm an ally and guide for other empathic hearts, helping them live, love and work in alignment with their souls.

Thank you for being here.

With you,
xo Liv (she/her)

I love talking with my friend Portia about almost everything. . The other day we recorded one of our conversations and I’m honored it will be included as one of the interviews in her program 🌿Tending the Witch Wound🌿 which begins Saturday! . (swipe for video excerpt) . Portia brings wisdom and experience deep and wide to this topic, so if it interests you, I hope you’ll consider joining! . Repost from @scinn.laece ・・・ I absolutely love how my dear friend @liv.sulerud describes the witch wound as a kind of grasping that results from the inability to grieve the loss of ancestral ways. This really landed for me. ::: I have watched Liv step deeper into her process of spiritual activism and ancestral reclamation with so much humbleness and integrity. She is really making the ancestors proud, I got to say. And she has helped me feel empowered to continue going deeper into my process as well - knowing that I'm not alone and that this work is totally possible. There was so much sweetness in our conversation and I'm excited to share this interview in Tending the Witch Wound - begins SATURDAY! ...
{New Moon over Bde Maka Ska} . Renewing the intention for my own contentment--and remembering this is revolutionary in an economy that literally runs on discontentment. . Renewing my commitment to joy and play and pleasure--and remembering this is resistance in a world that has a million ways to trigger my old stories of being undeserving. . Renewing my practice of gratitude--soaking up the gifts of here and now with an open and gleeful heart. . Renewing my commitment to be in deep relationship with the land on which I live--the soil, stones, plants, insects, birds, creatures, lakes and streams that weave the landscape of my belonging. . Renewing my intention to celebrate and honor the healing already happening, the good work being done, and the important changes being made in a culture that feeds on despair, trauma and bad news. . (Until recently Bde Maka Ska was named after an historically significant pro-slavery politician. It's now returned to its original Dakota name that means White Earth Lake, describing the lovely sandy beaches here.) . What’s an intention that you’re renewing in your tender heart? . xo Liv .

It’s been a long and luscious summer. . I’ve been busy, but I’ve also been on a hiatus of sorts. . I've found that taking a break from anything, no matter how useful or essential it seems, can be a beautiful experiment. . I often think of the mystics and those who enter into monastic life, and how we can each benefit from some gentle discipline, some sacred containment, some intentional abstaining for a set amount of time, from one thing or another, just to see what we discover. . So I've been turning over stones of new possibility. . I've been shaking out the dust and watching it settle. . I've been tuning out the noise and getting really still. . I've been pondering, with new clarity, the beautiful dreams and challenges we share as sensitive souls. . As I narrow down the focus for my coming love note, I'd love your input. What resonates the most? . Choose one or more, or share another question or topic you'd like me to consider below :) . I'll gather your ideas and use them as inspiration for my next love note (coming to your inbox soon!). . 1. How I’m learning to be less defensive and how it is changing everything in my relationships and my heart. . 2. My newest experiment with self-imposed guidelines for screen time that have me feeling (& sleeping) so much better. . 3. Why I took a break from (almost) everything and focussed on repairing and painting my 120-year-old house this summer with my own two hands. . 4. Why and how I’m choosing wonder and connection again and again, even while seeing the injustice and oppression in the world with clear eyes. . 5. What I’ve learned after taking most of the summer away from social media. . 6. The biggest lessons I’m pondering as I close the recent circle of The Wild Empath and how I moved through my biggest fears in creating this unique online experience. . 7. How I’m feeling more connected to the life-giving, soul-supporting power of Earth, even right here in the city. . Share below, and subscribe to receive. (Link ^) xo
The sweet spot. The paradox. The both/and. . I’ll meet you there. . #reclaimingsensitive #highlysensitive #wildempath #sustainablesolidarity #andlivlovesyou
