the DRAMA QUEEN
Happy IMBOLC and welcome to the DRAMA QUEEN | a Soul Sauce + Floss Workout Ritual infused with the MAGIC of the FRIVOLOUS, DRAMA QUEEN FULL MOON IN LEO.
SAUCE + FLOSS workout rituals feature my TRADEMARK ALCHEMICAL combination of animal-inspired fitness routines and Tarot infused writing rituals designed to jolt you—anyone, poets and “non-poets,” writers and “non-writers,” creative professionals, amateurs, and dabblers—into IMAGINATIVE LEAPS and PHYSICAL FEATS you didn't know you had inside you!
I crafted the DRAMA QUEEN when truths were being punctured and truths were banging on the door to get in, when I had to CHOOSE the reality to come, when I felt like I was at the center of someone's else's METAPHYSICAL TANTRUM.
You can do this SAUCE + FLOSS Workout Ritual ANYTIME life has gone DRAMA QUEEN on you. You do not need to time it with IMBOLC, or the full moon, or any moon, or the astrological sign of Leo. You do not need to wait to do it until you, too, are feeling your own truths and realities are being challenged—because it’s always a good time to choose the reality to come, and the reality is we live in a world in which truths are being punctured and truths are banging on the door to get in.
The Drama Queen
The 10-minute SAUCE Workout features FOUR of my ALL TIME FAV boxing and Muay Thai moves, and three of my FAV mixed martial arts combos.
The 50-minute FLOSS Ritual is infused with the wisdom of poet, (soma)tic practitioner and Tarot reader CAConrad, social worker and Tarot author Jessica Dore, and the Tarot cards the Magician, Strength, the King of Pentacles, and the Queen of Pentacles and follows my trademark four-step formula:
1. Connect | with Dream & Death
2. Navigate | Anger & Desire
3. Activate | the No Kill Zone & the World As It Is
4. Release | your Programming, your Internal Gatekeepers, your Powerlessness & What You Think You Should Find Valuable
Along the way, I detour through the violence of the line; the numerology of 3, 4, and 5; the true nature of a miracle; how to respond to a harsh inner critic; what to do when you find yourself clinging to something that’s making you feel powerless; and what it takes to envision an ideal world and then participate in co-creating it.
You'll leave with the seeds of your Next Great Poem/Story/Essay/etc., along with strategies for identifying, reclaiming, and manifesting the POWER THAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS, which is the theme of 2024, the year of the Tarot’s Strength card. (2 = 2 + 0 + 4 + 8, and Strength is the eighth card in the Tarot’s Major Arcana.)
You'll need about 60 minutes total, along with the following magical ingredients:
trainers (sneakers)
water
an uplifting playlist, feat. for example Europa's "Final Countdown," Eminem's "Lose Yourself," the Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic," Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On," and Britney Spears' "Work B*tch" (optional)
notebook
pen
Sharpie or marker
sweet treat
Tarot deck (optional)
After you’ve completed this soul-enlivening SAUCE + FLOSS, I invite you to look for moments to inject some instant creativity into your daily life by:
breaking away from the habitual
honoring the humanity in difficult experiences
taking care of yourself when you feel powerless
envisioning what the ideal world is to you
And by all means, craft your Next Great Poem/Story/Essay/etc.!
