' My name is Johanna O’Tigham and I work with survivors of severity, complexly-disabled folks, and other human beings existing on the edge.

I’ve personally been able to share resources and offer sanctuary to handfuls of individuals over the past decade.

I also work with Intuitive Public Radio and Intuitive Invisibles, inc. on both local and international survivor-led recovery and infrastructure projects.

The need is great, and institutional supports aren’t able to provide appropriate and effective solutions for these folks.

I’m interested to connect with other people who are doing this work (formally or informally), and also with other related projects and resources.

I have have formed a nonprofit organization to formalize my work and be able to do more for these communities.

Yellow Rocket Ministries is a survivor-led (nondenominational) faith-based nonprofit organization that exists to bridge with and fill resource gaps for survivors.

We’d love your support for our endeavors! We accept tax-deductible donations, and are always seeking more collaborators! '

Prowess, Intuitive • Intuitive Public TV

Thea Fast joins Megan Elizabeth Morris today on this Intuitive Public TV in a totally unanticipated, resonantly adventuresome, somatics-strengthening spontaneous broadcast to explore our work with Intuitive Prowess.

— — Dynamics of intense emotional responses in crisis situations — and, most crucially, co-regulation and embodied presence for effective communication and support.

— — Bridging communication between individuals experiencing resource scarcity and those with greater access and stability.

— — Maintaining personal capacity and resilience while desiring to help others.

— — Development of Intuitive Prowess processes for deepening and expanding our proficiencies in rising to the worthy challenges of this day and age.

— — Our ongoing practice of co-creating supportive community infrastructure.

— — Bringing congruence to the Intuitive Somatic Economic.

It was a joy to achieve this today. Absorb, practice, comment, share, and let's keep exploring.

Johanna shared,

' I Feel like I completely forgot how to do anything but speak in ways that creat shock and awe for a while , or alienate ppl by ‘educating’ ,

I’ve been re-learning that I don’t have to use that kind of force to get a thing done.

Particularly glaring when I put in a ton of effort and force something that doesn’t feel really feel right - and then my work doesn’t succeed anyway

I’m really excited about this sense of knowing, yesness, I don’t really know what words to use but I could say my spirit says yes to making and accepting relational invitations to collaborate that are grounded, etc. etc. It feels alive and clear and connected

And I think another part is having vision , but that’s not something that I’m interested to impose or make sure everyone understands like I do; it’s that I feel a sense of where to go and a big yes and how , and I feel connected to it and I know wanna go that way !

Very grateful for that relative clarity because I’m sure a lot of folks here have also experienced times where that just wasn’t happening at all, bewilderment.

right now I’m thinking about sanctuary projects in particular, but I’m also doing some companioning and match-making advocacy rn. I feel like I’m growing so quickly where I put my attention on doing so for a purpose '

One of the very important things is to keep noticing how a person who is not responding to something particular is protecting their own needs and interests in a way that is necessary for them.

It doesn't get us anywhere to insist that somebody do something that feels counter to their well-being.

It causes harm to bring intensity in that situation.

But often, people in distress and extreme scarcity don't recognize that others are experiencing less visible forms of hardship, life and death realities, or disablement too.

We invite one another, we make it possible for one another to engage in collaborative solutions.

But if it's not right for a person to do that, their body will signal them that it's not right for them to do that.

Each body's signal must be honored and respected.

Each living being is the only body that can know what that signal truly is and how to interpret it.

We have to trust one another to be doing the thing that is most right for each body, of itself.

There is no way to declare or insist that a body should do something different than that body understands is necessary for itself.

' I feel like the piece from that video about the discharge /negativity /venting which y’all already touched on in here, both are needed. That was potent to gain a sense of, newly/nextly,
   yeah, just sitting with how important they BOTH are. ' — Johanna Botanica

' I agree. A place to shake loose the trauma clogs so that better dream manifestation can flow freely through those channels.
   And also, it seems that often, we need a different space for shaking loose the trauma clogs than the space in which we are focusing on nourishing and improving our flow of dream manifestation strategy and implementation. ' — Megan Elizabeth

grammars of care

"the misplaced aspirations, i'm soft with it because i would rather try and learn as many grammars of care as possible than not try" ~40 min

https://youtu.be/t_sEX0yU55w?si=2PbaRfDa0UaFWDvO

“It’s really bad here for survivors, poor people, disabled people, etc, .... like I can’t even be horrified at the LA fires very much or impressed by the collective crisis response to that - because I am living at these intersections and working on the front lines of something that is in our faces every day and we’re still blind to it.

We have power together, and that’s what all us sick disabled under-supported invisible people who are paying attention and refuse to give up are working on:

Collaborating on humane & doable solutions, in every way available.”

~Johanna

“ Do you want to show up and help people in hardship situations?

Do you want to get people off the frozen streets?

Do you want to help survivors of trauma and violence regain access to health and the world?

Do you want to make sure disabled people get the care they need?

This recent article about a woman in Albuquerque and her journey with ‘receiving help’ and all of its complexities, and then ending up back in her tent on a hillside, shows were some of the gaps are.

https://www.abqjournal.com/news/local/article_fcb80fc6-d049-11ef-b497-275eb35699da.html

We find every aspect of this story immediately recognizable.

There are a lot of people with lived experience and skill, who like me want to have the resources to show up in public more visibly and say:

“We know how to do this better, and we’re ready to further our work on it - with people who have heart, interest, resources, connections, media reach and funds.”"

"I know nobody is really OK with allowing my disabled colleague to be stranded without income, care, kind people, or necessary medication in a wealthy American city right now.

i could share 25 true stories of people currently surviving or dying in these situation-types off the top of my head, if i had the time and spoons, and i'm not going out looking for them.

I know a lot of people are so distressed at the worsening care and houselessness crises, and starting to understand why most attempts at solutions aren’t working.

We're here to help navigate that and create better, and we do it in all the small ways we can every day, despite almost noone even knowing we exist.

Please help us get the reach and resourcing we need in order to provide the leadership we've been cultivating.

It's long overdue <3 "

Meaningful Vocational Play • Transform personal and professional challenges into unmatched blessings.

“There's a hard thing happening, and it feels unnavigable.”

How many of us have felt — and are feeling — that way, right now?

My most direct path to solutions in tangled times has always been to find meaning… vocation… and a deep-rooted, fundamentally biological form of play… in the hardest experiences and greatest challenges.

The process must be mindful, especially for playful energy to be tuned wisely and with care while meeting very serious situations; and it's not always easy to make this connection.

But it never fails me once I do.
