Whenever I take a moment to pause, new insights emerge.  Ideas for projects I want to commit my time to.  Wounds that haven’t quite healed and need more tending.  Connections I want to better sustain.

A long-term vision I have for organizers is that those pauses are plentiful.  That we understand moments of reflection and slowness as a resource to be cultivated, not a distraction to be feared.  That we are so interdependent that our community can hold the work while we rest and heal from crisis.  That we are so self- and communally-aware that we clearly see what in our lives is seeking a sweet ending or resounding beginning.  That we actively find ways to reclaim this practice - within our homes, workplaces, and play spaces.

Stillness sessions are the ritual offering I’ve been honing to meet this need, recognizing that our bodies and spirits have always been the site of revolution. Sometimes we just need a moment to tune into them.

Anchored in Hoodoo and blended with energy work / reiki, the session begins with a 15-minute introduction & grounding, then moves into 30-minutes of you laying in stillness on a massage table. That time will include an emergent blend of practices including but not limited to: energy work to assess blockages and bring more alignment and clarity, restful meditation, ancestral divination, and/or somatic work - all in response to what slowing / resting illuminates. We’ll close with 15-minutes of reflection and debrief any insights that emerged during that time.

Like tarot readings, stillness sessions are available at a sliding scale of $60 - $100. Please pay what feels good to you. If you prefer, partial payment + exchange or full exchange is welcome and can be discussed during booking.  Various kinds of healing work, tinctures, and hearty houseplants are things I'd currently love. If you are someone who is able to give beyond the sliding scale, you can help to provide a free reading to someone without the funds.

These are currently limited offerings, and are specifically for Black folks. To schedule, please email with your interest to blair@alightalchemy.com, with Stillness in the subject line.
