Sacred Play
Embodied Practices for Healing and Liberation
with Sasha Inodaya
Sacred Play explores the interplay of individual and collective healing and liberation.
It is rooted in the recognition that we are limited by the systems of oppression under which we live, and in the understanding that we can begin to free ourselves by:
– Being in radically transformative, liberatory relationships with ourselves and one another
– Experiencing our ecstatic oneness with the natural world
– Experiencing the bliss of being an embodied being, with the capacity for deep physical and energetic connectivity with other beings
– Re-weaving ourselves into magic, engaging in spell-casting and other forms of sacred alchemy
– Living life as an embodied prayer, rooting ourselves in wonder, spiritual intention, ritual, ancestral wisdom, and radical futurisms
– Creating new, liberatory spaces of healing and radical love outside of the systems of oppression under which we live
Sacred Play offerings currently include one-on-one ashtanga yoga instruction; group explorations of Ayurveda; group Ayurvedic seasonal cleanses; and group spaces to explore and practice connection and presence. I can work with you to design something for you or your group. Most offerings are for free or for barter/exchange.
Upcoming Offerings
Seasonal Transition Practice, April 2026
I will be loosely holding a gentle group seasonal reset, informed and inspired by Ayurvedic kitchari cleansing, the week of April 20. It will include intention setting, a daily Ayurvedic routine, self-care practices, as well as eating a diet of kitchari, and perhaps a few other nourishing and easy-to-digest foods. The intention of the reset will be to move anything out of our bodies and minds that we no longer need in order to encourage the free flow of life energy and to make space for the newness and possibility that spring brings. We will likely have two in-person gatherings, one to open the week and one to end, and we will support each other during the week through a WhatsApp group. Please reach out to me by IG message if you are interested in participating.
About Sasha
I like to create, dream, and play in interstitial, liminal spaces of sanctuary, healing, transformation, and liberation- spaces that are rooted in ritual and in the sacred. I am oriented towards individual and collective liberation. I like to help create and hold sacred spaces in which we can drop into deep presence and radical authenticity, and in which the quiet magic that connects all beings is palpable.
The spiritual path I am most steeped in is ashtanga yoga, including the physical practice, the ethical precepts, and the philosophy and cosmology. Spiritual practices that bring me joy include rising before dawn, following Ayurvedic lifestyle guidelines, engaging in ancient Celtic rituals and practices for living in harmony with the changing seasons, chanting and playing harmonium, building altars, spell casting, writing songs and poems, and being in an ecstatic relationship with nature. I have also found healing and transformation in contact improv, ecstatic dance, liberatory explorations of sensuality, and consent practice.
My paid work is organizing resources for a regenerative, post-capitalist future
