Decolonizing Spirituality.

This is a space for those of us who have started to squint at the wellness-industrial complex and think, “…wait a minute.”

You’ve felt it, right? That strange cognitive dissonance when someone preaches love & light while casually bypassing systemic oppression. Or when a $3,000 "abundance retreat" sells you personal liberation. On stolen land, led by white folks quoting Indigenous teachings without a trace of irony.

I’m writing for those who want to believe in collective healing but can’t ignore the blood crystals and fake healing vibes in New Age spirituality. For those who crave liberation. Not just for the individual self, but for the collective.

If you’ve ever side-eyed a yoga teacher,
light worker, tantra guru, plant-medicine chef, ecstatic-dance shaman, soundhealer, or feminine embodiment priestess who chanted “we’re all one” and then silenced you on racism the very next day – you’re in the right place.

If you’ve ever wondered why “manifesting abundance” seems to work better for privileged folks with passports to paradise – you’re in the right place.

If you’re ready to name it, face it, and dismantle it – while keeping your sense of humor and your critical thinking intact – welcome.

If you’re new here,
hi, I’m Dinah.

Once upon a time, I was a yoga teacher. I even ran an online yoga studio for BIPOC and loved creating meditative, artistic classes in the desert. But by spring 2025, I had enough. The yoga and wellness industry was slowly killing me. Death by dissociation, toxic positivity, white supremacy, capitalism, appropriation, fake gurus, workout-obsessed students, and shiny facades. Pick your poison.

The last straw came in Bali 2024. That trip convinced me to walk away for good. These days, I avoid yoga studios like I avoid Oktoberfest.

Outside of that world, I’m a mum, a copywriter (German and a bit of English), a creative, a rescue-dog adopter, a tiny-house and yurt enthusiast, and someone who would be perfectly content with a garden full of lavender and rosemary. I like slow mornings, being by the ocean (specifically the Atlantic), and doing life my way.

But most of all, I care about decolonizing everything – from shopping habits to love stories. If it doesn’t lead to liberation, I’m not interested.

That’s me, in short. Thanks for sticking around. Any questions? Check out my Instagram or message me. I promise I won’t bite.
