I am so happy you asked this question. It's so important and I'm glad more people are having these conversations.
This container is a meeting place of so many things. It's everything I've been initiated into and my work as a volcanologist that I feel able to distill and share with you. It's informed and inspired and shaped by various lineages and studies and my own personal healing and awakening journey. And, this container wouldn't be what it is without the wise and generous hearts of my mentors and teachers, so I am grateful to be able to honor them.
The protocol we follow is grounded in Mexica (Aztec) matriarchal lineages, and can be found in the book Osiris written by Ana Silvia Serrano (in Spanish only), an amazing teacher of all things Obsidian. It is a lunar practice that connects us to the supportive Feminine aspects of the moon. There are many, many layers to this practice - we only move through the first few. Simply, the protocol itself is a cyclic use of the egg that is designed to activate the technology of Obsidian in order to support your intention for the journey, nestled within the greater collective of women doing the work of re-membering and healing from the global intrusion of what we call "the patriarchy" - toxic aspects of both Masculine and Feminine that spin endless spirals of fear, violence, disconnection, chaos and confusion.
There are much, much deeper teachings about Obsidian that are not covered in this course, and many I am NOT yet initiated into through lineages around the world from Mexica to Kemet. Everything I share with you about aspects of the Original Geology (O.G) ~ the science and technology of Obsidian and how it plugs us into a greater holistic, intelligent Earth system, that is itself plugged into a greater cosmic system ~ the Dark Goddess, quantum communications, Earth's memory fields, holographic ancestral healing, psychic activations, Volcano cycles, and more ~ all of these are understandings that have come through my own channel and life path. The majority of this course, and what you will hear about Obsidian comes to and through me directly, as the result of 25 years walking the path of understanding Inner Earth from multidimensional perspectives as a volcano scientist and lightning initiate, on the healing path for decades. I will always be clear when I am sharing something that comes to me via other channels / lineages / teachers.
The lineage of this particular Obsidian Egg practice came to me via Ayah Buonaugurio and her Obsidian Womb programs. The protocol itself was formally blessed to me to share as a powerful and sacred tool held within a larger understanding of the work, and passed to me within the lineage of Ollintlahuimetzli, of Mexica (Aztec) origin. I worked with Ayah from 2020 until her tragic, sudden passing in 2023 - all of it a truly initiatory experience that opened vaults of codes within my being. The Obsidian Egg was also part of the codes Ayah carried, receiving her blessing to transmit this work from Abuela Malinalli, who crossed over in 2020, grandmother of the Ollintlahuimetzli Danza de la Luna (Moondance). I have made my own commitment to this lineage; this will be my 6th year as a Moondancer.
Honoring Ayah and Abuela Malinalli and all of their amazing wellsprings of medicine, as the ancestors to this container who continue to guide this work! We are truly blessed in this container to be held in a bigger container of support and guidance - a profound lineage with teachers in both physical and spiritual realms.
The bigger toolbox we are tapping into within this course includes somatic shadow work practices, ritual suggestions, journal prompts, and pleasure practices that are inspired by both my own healing journey, as well as by other trainings, including Layla Martin's VITA-methodology for coaching (love, sex, and relationship), which integrates tantra theory with embodied parts work to create a holistic healing framework for trauma, disconnection, and struggle.
