We’re getting back up to the state house this year!

I’m in a beautiful convergence this year with opportunities I am truly grateful for.

I am continuing my academic work in disability studies, serving as a Supported Living Supervisor at Systems Unlimited and helping support an Advocacy Committee for People Served… getting their voices directly to the board and helping folks get up to Des Moines to meet face to face with legislators.

This is the work I’m here for yall!!! And it’s honestly so fun… even in these times. Because what else would I be doing?

Check out the Iowa DD Council. See what’s on the docket! Sign up to stay tuned on these legislative priorities and for our advocacy days up on the hill.

ps… I am underway with some seriously delicious inquiries. I don’t know how many people have gone through Vedic astrology training at the same time as working with disability justice traditions and the type of care work I do. I am seeing in real time how dharmic and yogic principles live inside systems.

I’ll be asking real big questions this year. I will report the findings!

Hey Lovely,

I know I've been dropping little hints and announcements... but maybe you're still wondering: What Is the Temple of Golden Ether?

The Temple of Golden Ether is my humble contribution to the moment through my lens as a yogic healing artist, threshold guide, social service worker, and student of both social sciences and dharmic studies and traditions.

This "field" I am tending is seeded as an integrated dharmic-spiritual ecosystem that brings together:

x grounded intuition
x emotional honesty
x nervous system regulation
x yogic wisdom (non-performative, non-dogmatic)
x symbolic literacy
x threshold guidance
x relational repair
x land-based spiritual orientation

It exists at the intersection of:
x spirituality & psychology
x ancient wisdom & modern life
x intuition & ethical responsibility
x personal healing & collective transition

Starting in January, I will be hosting weekly Samāna-Centered Yoga on Wednesday mornings at 8am CST here on Instagram and YouTube. We'll be keeping this class donation-based for now.

What is Samāna? In Yoga & Āyurveda, we know Samāna as the intelligence-force that helps us digest our life's experiences so we may embody the wisdom those experiences have to offer us. Think: integration, stabilization, clarity, coherence.

I'll be honest with you: I am not holding a focus on offering peak experiences at this time. I'm offering a landing pad for tired nervous systems, bright-and-frazzled intuitives, care workers, and teachers living in this modern moment... now.

So rather than ascension, the temple offers embodied orientation, so you can live your dharma in alignment with your truth.

🌾✨ This week, we will share more of our offerings for 2026. Samāna Yoga Therapy & Sound Healing sessions are now available. Visit the link to take a look 🔗

🙏 May we all find ease, warmth, rest, and nourishment this season.

With a long exhale,
Zaria
