Welcome home

Welcome home, cojourners. I'm glad you're here for another episode. I'm Dr. Tama, the facilitator of your journey back home to yourself. I'm a licensed psychologist, ordained minister, and sacred artists, and I'm so glad that you're here on today. I'm going to start with a poem that I wrote

recently actually and this piece is called heal the healers and I want to acknowledge and affirm that indeed you are a

healer. I delight to be in the presence of healers. I love the way you alchemize the matters of your

heart. You carry wind with your wings. You have transcendent eyes and medicine words. You are not

afraid of deep waters. You are unfamiliar with the shallow end of the pool.

I love the way you love. The truth is you are love embodied, love personified, love activated.

Healer, you are a mirror, and I know the glory and gutters of our stories. As much as you

show up for others, I see the ways we often put ourselves last. We are dehydrated and our soul's iron is low. We long for rest but somehow wake up, tired.

Our minds are busy and so are our hands. Tending, befriending, cultivating, creating, dismantling, rebuilding.

This is an invitation to still waters, not to visit but to abide.

This is an invitation for slow motion.

Yes, slower, slower. This is an invocation of deep belly breath and ascension beyond crisis response. We give abundance and live off scarcity its past time for the shift

the pivot the reversal it's womb time time to be nourished, held, carried.

Your life is not a race, and it is so much more than a mission.

Your life, our lives, are sacred.

Can you learn to be sanctuary for yourself,

refuge for your weary soul? Can you choose people and places that

choose you instead of tolerating the unacceptable? Joy is chasing you, but you've been running

too fast. Release is in your peace.

You are made for more than caregiving.

Have you tried care receiving from yourself and others?
