LOTUSLIKE

This sermon is about the wild woman and the civilized woman — the two sides of you that society has taught you to treat as opposing forces instead of what they actually are: twin aspects of the same divine power. Drawing on Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ Women Who Run with the Wolves and bell hooks’ Sisters of the Yam and Communion , this video goes into what it actually costs us to keep these two sides...

I know what people see when they look at me. They see someone intense, who doesn’t hesitate, who has probably always been this way. And they’re not wrong. I’m not a person who is big on giving grace just for the sake of giving grace, and I know that gets me a bit of a bad rap, which I am totally ok with. I’m the type of woman who has been thrown to the wolves and came back leading the pack. My Nan...

To hear more, visit lotuslaloba.substack.com 5:44a start time So many of us begin our spiritual journey because we are subconsciously trying to mend a split inside ourselves. We spent so much of our lives before that moment feeling off, broken, misunderstood and not really having the language for why. This split was never our natural state. We were divinel...

This week, our focus was really about grief and how it shows up in the creative life, especially when things do not unfold the way you imagined they would. How important it is to know that loss and disappointment can interrupt your relationship with your creativity, but they can also become moments of redirection when you understand how to stay connected to yourself while moving through them. We t...

Why I created this for you Every day, the world asks us to perform, to pour out, to give. And if we’re not careful, we forget to pour back into ourselves. We forget that magic is not something we chase - it’s something we open to, invite in, and embody. For some of us, that daily practice is scripture, like how my family lineage leans on Psalm 23 as a grounding prayer. Many of us recite what feels...

This week, I’m reflecting on the powerful alignment of the Aquarius New Moon and the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Snake . These cosmic forces invite us to honor the cycles of death, rest, and rebirth, where small, intentional changes ripple into bold, lasting transformations. I’ll also share how sisterhood and ancestral connection have been guiding my path, reminding me of the sacredness of c...

This week, I’m reflecting on the cosmic chaos that’s all around us—from last week’s Wolf Moon and lunar standstill to the rare planetary alignment happening now. These powerful shifts are stirring up deep truths and asking us to release what’s no longer serving us. I’m also diving into the dark feminine energy of Aquarius season —what it means to embrace freedom, individuality, and the beauty of c...

Dark Divines Devotional This week’s devotional focuses on stepping away from absolutes and finding strength, faith, and purpose in the grey spaces of life. By releasing extremes of fantasy and fear, we embrace the fullness of being human - holding grief and joy, chaos and beauty, at the same time. This grey space allows us to honor our ancestors' resilience and softness, while creating room for us...

In this week’s Dark Divines Devotional , I’m reflecting on a realization that’s been years in the making: I’ve been leading a ministry all along. Not in the traditional sense, but in a way that weaves together sacred texts, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual practices to create spaces for healing, growth, and liberation. This ministry isn’t tied to a pulpit or a congregation—it’s about building a per...
