Loto Journal

An evolving exploration of consciousness, spirituality, relationship, and what it means to flourish together.

Through personal storytelling and curious inquiry, we explore consciousness and the Self, contemplative spirituality and mysticism, psychology and somatic healing, creativity and relationship, and our connection with nature and the living world. Along the way, our Founder, Jennifer, shares letters from her travels as a digital nomad, exploring the people, places, traditions, and sacred landscapes that continue to shape her journey.

Reader’s Note: In an attempt to bring a conscious sense of responsibility to our language (where inclusivity and equality matter), in our Loto Wellness Collective blog content, except for direct quotes, the pronouns often used for God are They/Them in reference to Great Spirit, the I AM, the Universe. Also, we have taken the liberty of capitalizing the term “True Self” or “Self” so you will know that we are not referring to the “false self” (psychological egoic self), but the foundational Self that we are in God, Imago Dei.

Grief of Change

We expect to feel grief when we experience a loss—a job, a loved one, a dream. However, grief is also a part of change, and change is an inevitable part of life, yet it often comes with a heavy heart. I’m currently embarking on a significant transition, leaving behind the comfort of the familiar to step into the adventure of a global digital nomad lifestyle. This shift has brought a mix of excitement and sorrow as I grieve the life I once knew and anticipate the unknown future.
