The
Magicians
6 months of tending to the roots of your soul and your business
I want you to be able to do the work you love in a sustainable way that meets ALL of your needs - for rest, for pleasure, for money and physical resources, for purpose and meaning, for making a difference in people’s lives.
I want you to live in integrity with who you are, to know and discover yourself, to have a meaningful relationship with this great mystery that we are a part of (call it God, the universe, whatever!)
This invitation is for you if...
You have a burning desire to live a life on your own terms: you want to choose what work you do, what hours you work, who you work with, and how you do your work. You want to innovate and disrupt outdated systems and ways of being through your work.
You want time for rest and pleasure and frolicking in the hills and binge watching that show that you're currently obsessed with! You want abundant time to spend with the people that you love, you want to feel fulfilled by the work that you do and have a sense of meaning - knowing that you’re giving back to the world while also being nourished and taken care of.
Is that too much to ask for? No!
The Magicians is for people who sell or want to begin selling.
Why?
Because I believe in business as a magical path.
Because I believe in the tools of somatic, shame and shadow work and their ability to support entrepreneurs to create businesses that are sustainable.
Because I know the unique challenges of being on the self-starter, make your own path route… (and how much our work benefits when we change how we show up for it)
Because I want to support you in bringing your vision into the world, and I want you to feel resourced as you do it!
Because I believe in a win-win paradigm of business, where you get to win, your clients get to win, and the world gets to win - just through you showing up as who you are and showing up for what you desire.
And because I believe in the freedom that having your own business can give you.
I believe that our greatest contribution to humanity comes from the depths of our own ability to be human; to be vulnerable, to feel, to care for and love, to be present, to be self-loving and powerful.
This all comes from being so deeply integrated with all that we are – ESPECIALLY the parts of us that we judge and shame as bad, wrong and ugly…
But living under the influence of dominator consciousness, we learn only how to reject and abandon these very parts of ourselves…
Dominator consciousness manifests itself through white body supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism, human supremacy and all systems/paradigms of oppression
And it creates SHAME inside of our bodies
Because we believe that something about who we are is wrong, and needing to be changed, hidden or abandoned.
One survival strategy that emerges in response to the trauma of living in a shame-based society is PERFECTIONISM.
Because we think that if we can just always get things right, we won’t have to feel the excruciating sensations of being seen as bad, wrong, or unworthy of being in connection with other human beings
And this cocktail of shame and perfectionism kills our creativity and our vulnerable human expression!
Because our ability to be human, and to be creatively expressed, relies on us having a foundation of enough safety, acceptance and love – so that we know that WHATEVER we do or create, we will not be shamed, judged, or stripped of our belonging.
In order to feel fully expressed as human beings, we have to heal from our internalized dominator consciousness, which can show up when we:
- Coerce ourselves into doing things that we don’t want to do/say yes when we mean no (often, without even thinking about it because we’re so conditioned to cross our own boundaries!)
- Ignore our needs or pretend that we don’t even have needs…
- Shut down our receptivity to pleasure or feel uncomfortable receiving pleasure because we secretly believe ourselves to be “undeserving” of it…
- Associate our worth with the work we do (including the healing/caring work we do for the people we love – being the ‘therapist friend’)
- Get anxious about being creative and expressing ourselves – because we have an inner critic that tells us that our work isn’t good enough and we feel stifled and stuck even though we are BURSTING with creative life force waiting to be expressed!
- Shut off from our emotions and see them as a sign of weakness
- Ignore our intuition, discredit our own internal guidance and distrust ourselves
- Disconnect from every day, practical magic to improve our lives or hide our relationship to magic and spirituality in fear of being seen as too "woo"
and with the support of soma-shadow work we can begin to:
- Reconnect with our bodies and our boundaries
- Learn how to find safety in our nervous systems and develop a secure attachment to the land and to God and to ourselves
- Reconnect to our shadow as a source of power
- Practice shame resiliency and free our creativity, our ability to imagine and play
- Reconnect to magical thinking and practical magic
- Rebuild our connections with the more than human world, and specifically the spirit world, so that we have connections to call on for support and sustenance
- Declare that our needs matter and meeting them matters to us
- Tap into our intuition
- Learn how to listen to what we deeply yearn for AND take action toward it
AND MAGIC HAPPENS!
That’s what we’ll be doing for six whole months in The Magicians.
I’m inviting you to dance and play here with me if you:
are an artist, creative entrepreneur, healer, coach and/or changemaking genius with a vision that you're ready to birth (I'll be your doula!)
care deeply about love and justice and want to take action towards creating a more loving and just world through your work
want to heal your internalized capitalism and dominator consciousness and embody the blueprint for a different way of being human
have a desire to receive money in exchange for the gifts that you offer humanity through your big vision (aka, you have a desire to sell!)
are a spiritual/magical being and you believe that your business/practice of receiving money gets to be part of your spiritual path
want to feel way more free to express yourself online, in your art, your relationships and your work without self-censorship
are ready to start working your magic and making your way off the beaten path/into the mystery in a way that that still feels safe and connected and rooted
want a deeper relationship with God/to experience God’s expansive presence and wonder in more of your every day life
are ready to say yes to more abundance, more pleasure and more support
Getting over the ick of selling, showing up online and shouting to the rooftops about the great thing you have to offer!
I work with a lot of artists and healers who are super icked out by all things related to selling, money, business and marketing.
They have such important contributions to offer the world…
Like, world-changingly brilliant contributions….
But they find they’re filled with shame at selling and saying “hey, this is a thing I offer!” as many times as they would have to say it for it to reach their ideal clients across the void of the internet…
or feel soul-sucked by it and want to hide away and wish they could just do the work they love and have the selling thing work for itself….
or they're stuck in feeling like their work just isn't ever good enough to sell...
or they feel uncomfortable asking for their TRUE number... the amount of money that would feel sustainable and abundantly fair...
And the work we do together is the work of getting eternally willing to feel all of the icky and cringey and squirmy sensations that they DON’T want to feel… like feeling rejected, not good enough, humiliated...
So that they can root and ground in safety as they do highly sensational things (like starting their business, or making their first offer, or releasing their podcast, or doing whatever big scary thing that they’ve reaaaaally been wanting to do)
I happen to love selling, and marketing and speaking about MONEY!
I light up every time I start speaking about sales and I feel like I have so much to say and could just go on forever and ever…
I love showing up to market online (aka, just sharing the things I care about with my people!)
And I even teach a money magic coven because I love money healing work so freaking much…
But I used to hate the idea of selling and marketing and having to deal with money in my work because I didn’t want to seem salesy or cringey…
or greedy or money hungry…
or like an inaccessible sellout…
or a dirty capitalist…
and as a people pleaser there’s a part of me that feels all kinds of dread when I think about the prospect of hearing someone’s no or being rejected…
but then I realised I had a very particular idea about what sales and marketing and being in business had to be:
and it looked something like a middle age white man in a car dealership…
or a telemarketer calling me over the phone to sell me a vacuum cleaner and convincing me that I need/want it when I don’t...
or a mega corporation like coke or Pepsi that exploits their workers, their consumers and the planet.
I thought that sales had to be coercive and manipulative.
That being in business meant I had to be a cold-hearted, unfeeling capitalist.
That marketing had to be like shoving something down someone’s throat or being the annoying guy that never shuts up (I have totally become the loudmouth who never shuts up about the things I care deeply about and I have no qualms with that)
But then I realized that there was a new vision of sales, and business, largely thanks to some of my mentors like Luna Dietrich, a badass pleasure witch and Jesse Johnson, queen of sales and money healing, as well as pioneers in the online marketing world like Simone Grace Seol and other leaders doing trauma-informed and consensual marketing which is such a turn on.
I realized that selling could be whatever I wanted it to be - that I had been given an outdated blueprint that was mine to revamp!
And I knew I wanted to do business in a totally new way - in my own way.
And that’s what I want for you, too.
In The Magicians, we’ll be using the archetypes of the major arcana (and planetary archetypes!) to go on our own fool’s journey…
To more deeply understand our soul's path, and how we embody these archetypes… so that we can understand their unique gift, wounding and shadow expression inside of our lives and our businesses…
which will support you to:
- learn your unique strategies for staying resourced as a business owner and avoid entrepreneurial burnout
- become an expert at taking care of yourself and knowing what you need and how to give it to yourself.
- learn how to connect with magic to support you in your business journey
- connect with archetypes that will become sources of power in your business
- connect with your ancestors and guides as your “board of directors” or advisory council.
- connect to the spirit of your business and learn to work with your business as a living being, a dynamic organism, an ecosystem (or solar system, or galaxy!) and a source of support and wisdom and ally in your journey
- create a blueprint for your business that is rooted in your values and your desires, and learn how to sustain a strong root system for your business that will support it’s expansive overhead growth for years to come
- recognise how your shadow manifests in your personal life and your business and learn ways to harmonise with your shadow so that you can move out of strategies of self-sabotage (which is really just your shadow's best attempt at self protection!)
- practice receiving (pleasure, money, support)
- learn how to make offers and ask for the money you want (let's get over your ick around selling and fall in love with it instead!)
- connect to your big vision for your life, and for humanity, so that you can bring it into reality.
- cultivate a secure attachment to yourself, to your business and to God.
- practice, practice, practice the skills that you’re learning so that they become embodied and like a second nature
- show up for your business, for marketing, selling and launching in a pleasurable and sustaianable way and learn how to take sustained action towards actualizing your desires!
We’ll be moving through the worlds of somatics and nervous system regulation practices, shadow work, magical work, existential kink and intimacy work...
In order to experience big, expansive growth as we do the inner and the outer work… in service to your business… and the whole of humanity...
And that’s what I’m inviting you into in The Magicians.
I’m inviting you to infuse your 2023 with more magic, more play and more creativity.
I’m inviting you to experience more intimacy and vulnerability in your human and more than human relationships…
I’m inviting you to experience less shame and less perfectionism and WAY MORE free, radically YOU self-expression…
I’m inviting you to experience more love and acceptance for your shadow and all the parts of you that you have abandoned and rejected...
And I’m inviting you to experience all of these things…
In service to you being the badass leader that your business, and this world is inviting you to be.
I believe that business has a large role to play in these changing times – and that if you’re reading this, you’re meant to bring the gift of your art, your healing, and your humanity into the world through the realm of business
– not so that you can conform to capitalism’s ideals for what business should be –
but so that you can take your brilliant, visionary mind and use it to turn the conventions of business upside down, to create a business, a life, and a world, that works for you.
Because the world wins when you do.
Some things that previous clients have said about our time together:
"I can no longer ignore the voice in my head that says “Hey! You should be
paid for that!”
"(before working with Tumi) my relationship with money involved a lot of shame. Shame for receiving it, shame for asking for it, and shame for not asking for it. I was shy to charge what I knew I deserved for my work, and often went for low-paying jobs I knew would feel insulting to accept. I hadn’t connected money to my boundaries and worthiness wound."
"I feel safer to exist, more trusting of the unknown and in love with it even. I’m not there yet whatever there even means and it is OKAY. So much goes wrong and still I have layers of faith that I last had as a small child. Thank you like from all my heart and soul."
"Magic is everywhere and all around me, it is up to me to tap
into and remember this when some pockets of life don't feel
magical."
"I love how emotional, relaxed, free and fun I feel with you."
"Working with you is definitely the safest I have ever felt in my life."
"Tumi is refreshingly honest about what they offer. They make a point to say that there are no guarantees, and that’s not something that they’d promise just because it’s a hot, sexy capitalist ideal that all your problems will be solved if you just did x. I’d sometimes rage at their posts reminding me that I can’t avoid the human experience (ahh!), because a part of me has been addicted to that impossible goal. But having someone to guide you on understanding, allowing and accepting your emotions has been incredible. It feels like if you accept the darker, embarassing sides of yourself, you’ll just wallow in it forever and never change, but being able to navigate your emotions, your trauma, is empowering AF! The revelations you’ll have about yourself will come quick, and their empathy and energy will let you know it’s safe to be you. And your understanding of yourself will be deeper. Tumi is a warm, lovely, funny person who offers deep support for your endeavours, and coaching with them is a wonderful investment in yourself."
"Release your fears and meet who you are becoming with loving and gentle embrace. You are worthy of more care and more soft loving. Tumi reminds me of this every day of my life."
And some words from them to you, as you consider whether this is the right path for you...
"If you want to feel seen, deeply understood,
supported, and have the energy to pursue your most
joyful, pleasure-filled life… do it."
"DO IT!! IF YOU HAVE THE SMALLEST LITTLE GUT FEELING
DO ITTTT. But also sit with the idea of inviting BIG change and
coming to really profound realizations about yourself, the world,
love, etc."
"I only regret not doing it sooner."
In the Magicians, you'll have access to biweekly business convenings on Mercury Day (Wednesday) at 12 EST/9am PST/7pm SAST to get into the nitty gritty of the course material...
You will also have access to monthly magical office hours where you get to ask questions/bring in things that you're struggling with and we'll troubleshoot them together.
AND you get a once of magical blueprint brainstorming session with me, where we will get into the nitty gritty of your business, your shadow and your growing edges for this 6 month adventure (this itself is valued at $444 but I wanted to be extra generous and get all my attention focused on you!)
If that wasn't enough - in between sessions, there will be course material to support your integration and implimentation of the skills, tools, and ways of being that we'll be practicing.
We’ll have a mighty networks where you can connect with your fellow magicians and witchy weirdos…
And all calls will uploaded to our community platform so that you have access to all of this knowledge and guidance for a lifetime. So if you miss a live class - no big deal!
My intention is to begin on the 22nd of February... but as this course has limited spaces if we reach capacity before that, we will likely begin earlier in February. So, if you know you're in - get in here and claim your Magician's seat.
The investment is 6 payments of $222, or $133 a month on a 10 month payment plan.
I'll see you inside.
