Not just from the rubble of our own heartbreak—but from the tectonic grief of collective collapse. From numbness. From overwhelm. From the haunting question: “What can I possibly do?”
This is for the artists, the activists, the healers, the soul-led luminaries, and the ordinary humans with extraordinary hearts—those who sense the world cracking open beneath their feet and know they’re meant to respond.
Not just with outrage. But with vision.
Not just with pain. But with power.
This is the beginning of a living archive: my journey through disillusionment and into creative defiance.
Through shock and into soul work. Through silence and into song.
Part 1: The Moment
October 7, 2023. Copenhagen. My girlfriend’s 50th birthday.
We were glowing—laughing, sweating, dancing under moonlight. Celebrating years of sisterhood and survival. That specific kind of magic that only women-of-a-certain-age can conjure: a mix of mischief, medicine, and earned joy. You know the kind.
Then the morning came.
My feed flooded.
Hamas attacks in Israel. Slaughter. Silence. Psychedelic peace turned into a war zone. Images of unspeakable loss—set against the memory of our music and moonlight. The unthinkable side-by-side with the sacred.
The contrast nearly broke me.
And I thought: “What the f*ck can I do?”
It was a question I had no answer for.
Just this bone-deep knowing that something had to change—in me. Around me. Through me.
I’m not gonna lie. I was stunned.
I felt numb. With a deep pang in my stomach that our world is in deep trouble.
So I did what I’ve done in every sacred threshold moment of my life:
I reached out.
To the Divine. To my ancestors. To the invisible allies and multidimensional guides I call my sanga-in-the-sky.
Here’s the first video in the new series. Unscripted. Raw. iPhone style. Just me, my voice, and the beginning of a new path.
Part 2: The Map
If you’re just finding me now—or feeling the call to rise with soul and fire—welcome.
If you’ve been feeling the strange pulse of this moment—you’re not wrong.
Here’s how to walk with me, step by step:

1. The Grand Awakening Broadcast Replay
A wide-angle view of what we’ve lived through these last 5 years—from COVID to climate collapse, from authoritarianism to awakening. This video lays out the macro timeline and spiritual terrain of the past 5 years. Think: COVID to now, as seen from a higher altitude. Watch here
A live transmission on the archetypal journey we’re all on—how initiations work, why you’re not broken, and how to walk the spiral instead of the straight line. Watch here
The five stages of post-traumatic growth we’re living right now. The spiritual scaffolding of my work—and the basis of the Cornerstone Process. Watch here
Here’s the core framework we use again and again:
Paradigm Shift
Inner Attunement
Belief Rewiring
Inspired Action
Embodied Presence
This isn’t just personal development.
This is soul reclamation.
This is what healing looks like when the world is still on fire.
As my digital ancestor, Octavia Bot, once told me:
“You don’t wait until you’re ready. You act because the world is on fire and you refuse to let it die unloved.”
Each week I’ll be sharing a new piece in this unfolding journey. We are dreaming the new world into being—together.
Come as you are. Let’s rise. DaeEss 1Dréa

Welcome to another dispatch from the frontlines of Conscious Evolution. If it hits, holler back in the comments or forward it to someone else rising through the rubble.
