Healing Arts with Stefanie Tovar

This week.
This month.
This LIFE. 🥹😭❤️🙏🏼
And these beautiful faces.
This isn't even all of them..
But already seeing their faces I knew in my bones: Healing is Happening and we are Guiding each other...and I get to be guided along with the initial assignment of guide.
🥹❤️🙏🏼😭
Tomorrow marks the official in-person beginning of DFW'S first Women of Color Cohort which I have had the honor to Direct, Design, and Lead Facilitate: Women of Color Rising.
And this week and the many days leading up have been filled with healing and disruptions of many kinds....some of which i would love to share with you: as a human soul Healing and Rising AND as a person who wishes to share the Love.
Until then I want to CELEBRATE the Healing that is happening...and the Healing that has already happened to lead to this moment.
Seeing their faces I knew and know we belong to this journey together...and just LOOK at these live notes sent my way by people of Love in my life...some who knew and some who didn't know of this new beginning starting tomorrow.
Please send Love our way, Y'all as we embark on a milestone: for ourselves and for this part of Texas. We will receive the Love and let it guide us to nourish what it ready to fall away and what is ready to move forward to help us heal ourselves, our ancestral lines, and the communities we get to hold dear and love.
Please join me in uplifting my heart and mind towards Faith and Possibility...what is possible when we get to share Truth and hold open space for Collective Truth to speak as well.
Please send love and know that many women of color will continue to Heal and Rise and join in Communion with Community.
It is Happening! And I invite you to join me in showering us all with Love.
Thank You for reading.
And Thank You for bearing witness to this share from my Heart and Life to Yours.
🥹❤️🙏🏼
More to Come for Sure.
With Heart,

This is kinda perfect in a way I didn't plan.
Which is Reminding me of the interview I did a while back with The Dandelion Project of with .vand ...the gift of the Mystically Untamed within us.
Yesterday my anxious energy of work at hand was disrupted by time with a soul and Creativity.
I wrote something last night, Ya'll.
Thanks to the Calling and Prompt yet again by of 🥹❤️🙏🏼🌷
In 2021 I wrote a one act play in less than 6 hours given this incredible project of centering Divine Feminine of Black and Brown Cultures. Writing that play acted as a catalyst in how I identify as an artist. I got to Remember myself in that work last week with and this week to close a stressful period of life squeezing me out of comfort and into "just do the damn thing, Stefanie" has Reminded me of this incredible work...this calling of getting out of our way to let flow in.
So all of these winding words to invite you to listen to words me and WOC writers flowed out of ourselves with a surprise prompt and information on the Divine outside while we tap into the memories of our Inside.
I came in excited and a little terrified but finished my words by 3am this morning. They are being rehearsed today to be presented tomorrow night. Which helps us disrupt the perfection and step more into presence and purpose.
So come by Sunday if you wish to listen and witness what can happen in a short time if we dare untame ourselves if but for a moment. of to learn more and join us all.
Thank Goodness for moments of disrupting the expected to allow for freedom to flow.
Thank You, Cat, for creating this container of possibility and Collective Melanin Magic.🥹❤️🙏🏼🌷
And Thank You, for speaking my name before I knew to speak it in such a space.
P.S. I WILL Present Releasing Honey in 2025. Hopefully at next year, but maybe somewhere local? We will see what Spirit says. 🥰❤️🙌🏼
to be and

I disrupted my work with rest and play out of state.
And I almost didn't go.
All the tasks and responsibilities can clutter our lives, can't it?
Shoulds and coulds and "it would be nice if..."s can take up so much space that it can be hard to breathe and dream...hard to soften towards our humanity...I have definitely caught myself in it quite a but recently...and at times I can remember to practice what I preach and teach.
I am coming back a bit more expansive in my mind and heart. 😌❤️🙏🏼
Thank Goodness there are people I can trust to take hold of what needs to happen locally while I continue to allow myself to get as big as my Heart.
And thank goodness we are still together for this Journey of Life.
More to share when I am ready to share.
Until then, let's Remember together to disrupt autopilot flow with sacred pause and rest.
May we Remember to Pause for all that is Sacred, Including the Sacredness that is Us.
❤️🌷🙏🏼🌬

So I have been forced to rest this week due to illness.
A week that I was planning with Eager glee to pour love and grace onto other people...and the Divine Plan made so I was meant to pour love and grace onto mySelf.
Did I understand the assignment?
Not fully I admit as I was SO EXCITED to hug necks and hold space for conversations and breaths from the heart with people ready to love this world into healing.
And
I know I get a next time the more I allow myself to rest and take care of mySelf.
Anywho...love and miss yall folks I was meant to greet this week. Until next time...between naps I will read some words of hope and truth poured out with interest I'm participating in the first Women of Color cohort in DFW happening with thanks to a grant provided by
