the beloved within

monthly membership

An ongoing monthly membership of virtual class in community to embody, empower and express your wholeness on the path of healing trauma, transforming patterns in relationships and remembering the power of unconditional Love that will always be born from within. 

hello fellow mystics!

My name is Annie ~ I created this online group container for the purpose of remembering the power of Love that will always be born from within. From my experience, transforming patterns of trauma, reclaiming the sacred power we carry from the colonial capitalist patriarchy, and returning to what supports us in staying centered, anchored and rooted in our souls truth and in Spirit within the very real reality of being human + in relationship— both human and divine— is essential if we are to heal intergenerational trauma and find clarity in something much bigger than us to lead our lives.

I have found it essential to have an ongoing space where we come together to do the inner work for our souls purpose + greater service in the world. We offer practice and support for you to continually remember who you are, becoming embodied in your own power to choose, and to take care of your nervous system and wild creative feminine power of Shakti and expression from within us and in relationships. We must stay rooted in our own inherent worth, support and Sacred power within if we are to have incredibly healthy passionate relationships, grounded land for our souls purpose and creative power to be born from, and living in service to Love as an active force that continually calls us forward to become more embodied in as who we really are.

This membership is for you to tend to, remember and unleash your inherent power to create, relate and live embodied in service to the Heart and Spirit of Love in the ways your inner being is guiding you toward; a forever journey of listening and remembering the wisdom we already carry in our bodies and hearts. We celebrate the cycles and thresholds we go through of intimacy and transformation as we become more rooted in who we truly are and the sacred power we carry from within. We gather to actively work with the material of our what’s arising naturally in our human experiences as sacred opportunities for our souls evolution that deserves our devoted presence, focus and embodied heart. Our work supports you in reclaiming, embodying and expressing the power of aliveness you carry within, centered in your own empowered choice, wisdom and souls truth. We support you in embracing your wholeness and reconnecting you to your own inherent soul gifts, power, pleasure and purpose from within. These gatherings are to cultivate right relationship and remember the power of unconditional Love that lives, breathes and births through us into the world as sacred stewards of the Heart.

remembering the power of unconditional love

Remembering God as Love and the Goddess in all of her wild creative power and expressions through us, as us, from within, invites us to work with all that arises in our relational lives, emotional experiences, creative impulses and inner callings as not problems to be fixed, but rather sacred material in the alchemical laboratory of being and becoming more embodied, empowered and expressed; in our true selves, our inherent worth, spiritual gifts and karmic + dharmic lessons that we’re meant to embrace and transform through in this life.

Transforming patterns of trauma in relationship and remembering the power of unconditional Love from within will always invite us to work with the ways we’ve been conditioned out of our own creative power, dynamic expression and sacred intuition that runs through our very blood and bloodline from the original primordial Mother, our benevolent ancestors and ways of relating to ourselves, others, nature and Spirit beyond the colonial meaning of the word.

These classes are for you to learn, cultivate your own authentic choice, soul gifts and relating skills to make space for your body to do what it knows how to do; to heal. Here we offer sanctuary for your own integration, rest and digestion of your experience. Our work is to support you in living in service to Love through the sacred primordial life force energy we all carry within through trauma-informed somatic, spiritual, creative + intuitive practice. Remembering who we are through the trials and tribulations of life as inherently worthy of presence, boundaries, unconditional Love and care in relationship.

Taking responsibility for our emotional world, taking care of our nervous systems and how we show up in relationship invites us into the thresholds of the Goddess and the underworld to remember our indigenous roots, inherent wisdom and the ancient gifts of the body and soul that reside in our willingness to show up in devotion to what gives energy, rather than takes it away. To remember the power of our bodies to heal, integrate and transform emotional experiences, rather than them being a problem. The Goddess and the ancient power of Love we carry reigns when we’re quiet enough to listen, make space for our own integration process and learn how to work with our somatic experience to remember the sacred in our whole & holy human nature and hearts.

This is why we gather. Plus its fun if you’re a wild mystic, artist, lover or sensitive being with the desire to be more present, emotionally available and directly involved in your own continual presence, transformation and expression in communion with the great Mystery as the power of Love that guides us forth on our journey of expanding in what matters in the realm of the Heart.

What is body temple dance?

Body Temple Dance is a somatic and spiritual wholistic approach and movement made for you to inhabit your body’s authentic pleasure, love, and aliveness.

This movement language and practice welcomes both the shadow and divinity.

Together we weave trauma-informed foundations based on nervous system education, embodied sex education, and traditional Tantric energy healing for self-healing and integration.

Everything we perceive about ourselves and the world comes from the state of our nervous system, yet none of us were taught how to work with this.

We all want to open to greater pleasure, reclaim our passion and live our soul’s purpose but there is a process of slowing and sustainable growing our valley of capacity for receiving.

BT Dance is a practice of prayer in movement with what is and learning how to be with discomfort without shutting down, running away, or attacking.

It is for those who wish to go deeper into the sacred world of somatics, feminine healing arts, movement, and expression as the ultimate healer of intimacy blocks, trauma, and reclaiming our purpose to love here on Earth.

~ Created by Adriana Rizzolo

we gather to unlearn, remember, discover and become.

Every week we focus on a new topic to support our somatic + spiritual movement, writing and Tantric devotional Heart integration practice.

Our work is all educational and trauma-informed. We are actively working in the relational realms of intimacy, creativity, intuition and somatics for our nervous systems to cultivate greater choice and capacity for safety from within. We assume activation and honor rupture and repair as sacred landscape for our very human and spiritual needs to be welcomed on the full spectrum of reclaiming our own personal autonomy, freedom and authenticity from the structures of oppression and systems of cultural trauma that value profit over people and suppress our authentic + indigenous ways of relating, creating, practicing what supports our fullness and connecting to Spirit from within. We work with these as part of our practice for our forever healing and becoming in receptivity, creative flow and expression of who we are and what we’re here to give.

We put emphasis on relationship and purpose here, as none of us live in a vacuum, and living in service from Source within as a natural byproduct of remembering our creative life force energy as sacred and living embodied in the Soul and all parts of our human experience. Healing trauma in relationship— both human and divine— is more supportive and embodied when we are working within the context of intimacy, relationship, personal truth, spiritual + creative gifts, cultural + systemic trauma + structures, helpful ancestors, socioeconomic understanding + our own sacred bloodline and the knowing that we are all inherently interconnected; including with nature, each other, the Earth and Spirit.

Every class, teaching + practice we offer is trauma-informed, meaning it’s your choice! You get to choose what you participate in or don’t, and everything is taught from the understanding that we all come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, trauma history, relational + familial dynamics and complexity in our own nervous system responses + impulses + relational experiences.

These classes are your time to take care of yourself, receive support and practice what you need for your own relationships, healing and personal liberation. Trauma robs us of choice so the work we do here is to support you in reclaiming sacred choice for yourself within your own life, creativity, Soul purpose and relationships, moving from fix to creative flow and shifting the perception from blame, shame and isolation for our tender fierceness to curiosity, care and radical compassion for all parts of our human experience.

We uphold everything as an invitation for you to do what’s best for you during class for your own experience based on your own body needs, inherent wisdom, and intuition. Disabilities welcome as these practices are for everybody! You are the oracle, the healer and the steward of Love within your own life. This container is a space for you to embrace that sacred power you carry and root into your own embodied experience of unconditional Love from within. In all of your power to choose, wild creative expression, mystic wisdom, gender liberation and freedom to be Loved as exactly who you are, however that is, no matter what; as a spiritual practice.

The Beloved Within is built on the values of integrity, equality, sacred boundaries, stewardship, intuition and trusting your inner knowing, community and sacred service as essential to our fundamental sense of belonging and wellbeing. We gather to spread the frequency and vibration of unconditional Love from within our whole & holy human hearts.

embodied healing, transformation & liberation in service to love

Here we work with Kundalini Shakti as the divine feminine force of creative power and wisdom responsible for spiritual awakening and integration. She lives as energy through the body and heart that we can actively work with for the purpose of expression, aliveness and heart centered becoming in service to Love. Our work is rooted in trational Tantra yoga and teachings + practices carried forth through generations of sacred devotees to the Great Mother and wisdom keepers who remember our pre-colonial relationship to the Earth, the stars, wisdom, soma, ritual, nature, Spirit, ourselves and each other.

Traditional Tantra weaves the spiritual with the soma, which we also do here through nervous system regulation and working with the life force energy of the body and our natural physiology in ways that support us in cultivating safety from within. We offer practices that support your body in remembering what it already knows, including how to heal and express when we give it space and support to do so.

Each class is a sacred gathering for the Great Mother and all of her forms and formlessness that we experience through our bodies and hearts. From the wisdom we carry to the shadows that transform us when we work with them consciously, working with the Goddess helps us remember we are unconditionally loved, worthy, whole, inherently good & good enough. Tantric practice supports us in weaving relationship to Spirit within the very practical and mundane aspects of our human experience, including our relationships and our creative practices. Each class supports our relational, emotional, energetic + spiritual experiences and support us in anchoring more fully into who we are and the ways Spirit continually is calling forth to grow, change, transform and liberate new parts of us in relationship and in service.

We gather in reverence for all of of our cycles, seasons, expressions, wants, needs and desires as sacred offerings we get to tend to on the altar of our relationships, lives and spiritual practice.

we gather to remember the wisdom, love and aliveness that we already carry through our own bodies, hearts and transforming in relationship. we do the inner work not to become something we’re not, but to more wholly and fully embrace ourselves and our experience as spiritual beings with work to offer the world. We gather not only for our own personal liberation and becoming, but for the liberation of all beings.

for the sake of love itself.

Remembering the spirit of Love and aliveness through our bodies is a forever journey of unlearning everything the colonial war machine has programmed into our consciousness and the patriarichal male gaze that makes us forget our inehrent worth, beauty and power of Spirit from within. You showing up to each class is a sacred act of participation in co-creating with the Great Mystery to take care of your nervous systems and the sacred within to live in service to something bigger than us and our souls truth that carries ancient memories and creative gifts that offer regenerating life to the parts of all of us that have forgotten.

being & becoming embodied in service to Love

Doing the work to reclaim our authentic connection to our truth + choice for the parts of us that need our sacred support and stewardship in our becoming is a sacred act of revolution for the feminine, the Goddess and all oppressed peoples who carry these sacred memories in their very blood and bloodline.

We explore these avenues and the dynamic range of our human experience as a spiritual practice. Not to become some perfect being (another colonial ideology), but to rather embrace our humble work here as relational beings, mystics, wild lovers and artists with soul truths to offer the world.

Please remember when coming to class it is your sacred responsibility to take care of yourself and seek alternate support where needed. Class is not intended to be in place of therapy and personal support you may need. If you need alternate resources for somatic therapists, trauma support or mentors + teachers that could be a better fit for what you’re looking for, please reach out! We are happy to share resources where needed.

honoring all parts of who we are and our human experience as sacred.

Through trauma-informed somatic practice, dance, creative movement, sound, energy healing, writing, meditation and more, we weave our ancient wisdom with the needs of our inner child to remember the divine power of creative life force energy energy, expression, presence and souls truth that is born from embracing our human experience as sacred

Integration is at the center of why we gather, for the purpose of working with the material of our inner worlds, relationships, soul desires and what arises in our life in the creative process of becoming that supports us when we’re actively working with it all for greater liberation rather than letting life pass us by as victims of unconscious karma, patterns of trauma and the ways we inevitably feel stuck when coming more into who we truly are.

We dance with the shadows and the light through our weekly practice to remember our inherent worth, creative power and personal choice in service to the Heart and what matters. We actively unravel inhereted shame and colonial cultural programming, support your nervous system in working with new edges in creativity, intimacy and healing, and remembering the sacred power of our own choice, courage and living life with our hearts broken wide open. To remember that we inherently belong here on Earth, in all of our messy imperfect sacred human hearts and expressions of Love in service.

it was always you…

I am the first and the last. i am she who is honored and she who is scorned. I am the whore and the holy woman. i am the wife and the virgin. I am the bride and the bridegroom. I am she, the lord.
