Hey there Alchemists,
Midori here, the Fairy Godmother of the Soft Power collective reporting live from Ohlone land known as Oakland / Oaktown, California.
At the end of last year the Soft Power founding nucleus team gathered at my home sanctuary in the woods. Getting all of us under one roof was a dream realized after 3 years of connecting virtually.
We spent 5 days immersed in the Frequency - attuning to the messages of our Guides, the Land, and the Spirit of Soft Power. We gave and received bodywork, took turns caring for Kiki’s baby with help from her father, cooked Ancestral recipes. After 5 months of facilitating the Soft Power Choir online, it was no surprise we found ourselves constantly breaking out into song and dance - and produced our first song together.
We spent the week giving ourselves space to dream and clarify the vision of what we’ve committed to building personally and together.
As
has reminded us: holding the Frequency of creation is the greatest threat to the Empire as it crumbles before our eyes.“The softest thing in the world
Will overcome the hardest…”
Tao Te Ching
As we enter the Year of the Wood Dragon and in the luminous intensity of the full moon, today felt right to announce our renewed commitment to show up in our most authentic (& regulated) expression and provide consistent creative collective care to the folks who have been riding with us and all those who now feel called into the Field.

🌸 Birthing Liberation Community Circle
Friday, January 26th (tomorrow!)
11:00am-12:15pm PST
Birthing Liberation has become one of our favorite offerings thanks to the community of radical, magical mothers thats been gathering. The style is emergent and flowy, but typically includes somatic practices, guided meditations, oracle card pulls, and conversations around the reality of committing to doing life and raising families beyond the binary and status quo.
To preserve the sacredness of the stories shared, recordings are not publicly shared, but you can experience one of our recent womb meditations for free here.
Midori will be stepping on stage to facilitate an oracular expressive arts practice with curated sound from

⭐ Soft Power Choir
Monday, January 29th
5:30-6:45pm PST
The Soft Power Choir is back! Ya’ll ready to activate your voices?!
We have been called by our ancestors and guides to re-member the power of collective singing as creative resistance to colonial powers that want to silence our voices. For centuries our ancestors sang together to co-regulate, to express, and to channel Spirit, however, the communal singing space has been co-opted to further colonial agendas causing harm to people of the global majority, people with disabilities, and the queer community.
The vision for the Soft Power Choir is to be a fun-loving safe haven for individuals seeking an emergent and creative healing space to explore and activate power in the voice—the soul’s unique frequency—in order to create a ripple effect of healing in ourselves, families, communities, and the world.
