Two Things That Have Moved Forward (Finally!!) and WE ARE SO EXCITED!

Sorry, ahem, not yelling. Ah, heck with it - definitely yelling!

Thing 1!

Okay, we have been sitting on this first one for approximately one geological era, and we are SO ready to finally share it with you:

New Agreement Co. is live!!

<pause for polite exclamations of support accompanied by confused glances>

New Agreement Co. is the name of our Etsy shop that we have been building FOREVER (ok, for over a year, but that's basically forever).

It has art built around phrases at the heart of the NAP framework and The Black Belt Mind basics and it is OPEN (!!) at newagreementco.etsy.com. The poster prints and canvas pieces are up, and you can go look at them right now if you want! No seriously, feel free, we'll wait here. 🤩 This has been SO long in the making that it feels kind of trippy to actually write this down. In fact, wait here for a sec, please, while we go and check that it's real and not a fever dream built on are-we-there-yet...

<insert on-hold music from the 90s>

Nope, it's real!  Just checked!

The collection is rooted in the same ideas we work with every day: the agreements we make about who we are, what we deserve, and what's possible. Except now those ideas can be on your wall.

 

We have warm 'n' fuzzy pieces, we have The Black Belt Mind in-your-face-in-a-good-way pieces, we have graffiti-inspired, urban-style art that we think is genuinely cool-looking and not at all the kind of thing that makes you feel like you wandered into a motivational poster factory. I mean, we were going to include a kitten hanging from a tree branch, but we decided not to. We reserve the right to change our minds.

There are over a dozen pieces up right now, and we have SO many more we are chipping away at. If you've ever wanted a piece of working with Colleen & Dana in a form you can actually hang somewhere to look at when you need a reminder of your genuine awesomeness and capacity, come check things out!

Thing 2!

This is about someone most of you already know and this also deserves its very own happy dance!

Our own very fabulous Sam has been a huge part of what happens at The Digital Dojo, and a vital part of our Crimson Door family, for a long time now. And after years of serious study and surviving what we can only describe as some extremely rigorous Board exams, Sam is now a licensed acupuncturist!! 

We are so proud of her we can barely stand it!! 🥹🎉

Sam is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac), Practical Herbalist, and Reiki Energy Practitioner. She describes her work as being at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, western herbal wisdom, and energy healing -- with a focus on trauma-informed care and a somatic practice called SIT with It (Subconscious Imprinting Technique), which works with the emotional imprints and trauma that often sit underneath chronic illness and physical discomfort. If, y'know, you believe in working on trauma. 🤪

She has been passionate for years about helping people in this way, and it really shows. Sam helps people release physical tension, emotional stress, and stagnant energy, and create room for deeper healing and resilience.

And lucky for us and you, Sam is practicing out of Crimson Door Healing! Booking is by appointment, and you can find her on our Jane booking portal. If you know someone who's been looking for an acupuncturist, send them her way! To celebrate her shift in practioner-ing, she's offering a special until the end of August for CDH and TDD folks: purchase an introductory session and get your follow-up at 50% off!  Just send her an email with "Welcome to CDH!" to book your appointment and get your welcome discount!

Check her out on our Jane portal and email her directly to book your session!

 

Yours in celebrating evolving in exciting ways,

Dana & Colleen

Why we fall on purpose...
  Martial arts is full of apparent contradictions: learn how to fight (but do your best to never get into a fight); park the ego at the door (but be confident enough to face an opponent); and try not to fall (but let's practice falling with gusto). Watching Dana and Colleen in the actual dojo is a study in contradictions as well. When someone takes a swing during sparring, Dana gets relaxed, fo...
Practice vs Performance (or Why You Can't Just Fly a Plane)
Imagine the scene in Random Adventure Movie: Our intrepid heroine/hero is on a plane flying over the tundra / dense forest / desert / jungle. Something happens to the pilot and suddenly our Intrepid Adventurer has no choice! They have to fly the plane! We are at the edge of our seats: will they make it? I mean, really, the best we can hope for is that they survive! After all, they have no train...
The One With All the Elephants
  My friend got me an elephant for my room.I said thanks. They said, “Don’t mention it.” Ba-dum-tss. 🥁But it's accurate, right? The thing we absolutely should mention is the thing that we absolutely don’t mention, because naming the thing can feel scary. Naming the thing kicks up feelings. Naming the thing threatens the habit and safety of “Everything is fine, shh, nothing to see here, move alo...

The Inner Dojo Digest

The inner dojo is where all the interesting stuff happens in EVERYone's mind. It's the inside work, the pattern shifts, the tiny moments of clarity that knock you sideways in a good way. Think of this as a visit to your own inner dojo, where YOU choose your own speed and belt level. No mats required.
