The Ritual of Intentional Invisibility
In late 2019, I said “FUCK OFF” to the capitalist grind & started blocking off my Blood Moon days on my business calendar.
This practice was (& still is) a way for me to better understand the needs of my body & discover how I can best nourish myself.
Now I’m going deeper with my Moon alignment & implementing a ritual of Intentional Invisibility week each New Moon.
If the Moon needs a break from visibility, so do we.
The feeling that we should be visible all the time is the same voice of the cisnormative heteronormative imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy (Laverne Cox & bell hooks) that trained us to believe that we need to go, go, go! during our Blood Moon days.
FUCK THAT.
Just like the Moon is not visible each day of the month, I remember that I too don’t need to be visible all. the. time.
So I ask: How can I incorporate a rhythmic pattern of pause, just like the Moon?
This is where Intentional Invisibility comes into practice.
Now all of my offerings & programs take a ritual pause during the New Moon week.
I also intentionally break from Witchy Wednesdays, LinkedIn, & IG.
I’m really (really) excited as to what has already flowed from this ritual practice.
What about you?
What comes up when you consider taking an Intentionally Invisible hour/day/week/month/season/year?
If you have even the wee bit of interest, here are some prompts to support your curiosity:
When I get really quiet, what does my body want? What does my body need? What does my body desire?
Where & when do I usually push on through? What could I do instead?
What practices, rituals, &/or patterns am I ready to cultivate & integrate into my life, work, & personal practice?
I invite you to listen deeply.
Your body has wisdom to share with you.
