Your July Navigation Map
this map is for you if you are: excited for what lies ahead, planning well in advance, worried about the future, scared of how big your dreams are, brave and courageous...
my my my, here we are in July.
how was June, pookie? i hope that it treated you well. happy birthday to all the June babies, including my dear sister. i love this cancer girl DOWN! and i am very grateful to be able to be with her during her birthday.
a small update: i’ve decided to add another feature to these monthly maps. at the end of each blog, i’ll share the dates for the two online workshops i’ll be hosting each month for the rest of 2026.
for now, i’ll be only sharing the dates, introducing the program, and exploring the inquiry behind it. later i will share more info, the flier, price for attendance and how to join for each workshop. this is for you to save the date, cuz i know we are busy ASF!
my online workshops are meant to be accessible. i do not wish to put liberation behind a paywall.
to help make this possible, i’ve created an MCHANGA page where anyone can support the work ALT WITH LELLA is doing: resourcing liberation. if you wanna support and learn more you can go here.
every contribution helps sustain scholarship places for workshops and the creation of free tools, programs, and resources for the community. each workshop will reserve seats for scholarships, up to half of the seats will be for that.
aaaaandddd i have also decided to add a digital art piece for each blog post, here is the one for this month!
so tell me, how did you find the prompts that i gave you for June? did you try a new movement style? did you envision yourself at the end of the year? and have you made the vision board for the rest of 2026? i hope you are saying yes to at least one of those things.
we have to take the time to dream, to envision, and to plan. otherwise, what are we even doing? just our HAVE TO DOs every day? nothing more? i refuse to live and do the bare minimum. i want a lot out of this life, and I WILL GET IT! will you?
a thing that has been on my mind lately is how much the little things add up. you will never guess what i am talking about. i am talking about screen time. i have noticed that even if i spend five minutes, or even one minute, on my phone responding to a text or a notification, it derails my focus.
i have not sat and just thought, contemplated, or pondered for longer than five minutes in the past couple of months!!! what the actual fuck? i need to get a grip. the phone addiction is getting insidiously out of hand. i recently learned that the colors on our phones contribute highly to the dopamine hits we get, so i think i am going to grayscale my phone and will keep you in the loop on my progress.
now let us get to the reading:
this map is for you if you are: excited for what lies ahead, planning well in advance, worried about the future, scared of how big your dreams are, brave and courageous, ready to make the necessary changes, child-free, adamant about the life you wish to have and the person you want to become.
July wants you to go a little mad, a little DELULU. it asks you: why are you dreaming little dreams? is it because that is really what you want, or is it because that is all you think you are going to get?
LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD! and let me elaborate on what i mean by that. i am putting a BIRKIN bag on my vision board. not because i really want a BIRKIN bag, but because i want to exercise wanting for the FUCK OF IT!
July suggests that you want for wanting’s sake. and for what it means to be able to get what you want simply because you want it. not because it is going to change your life, not because you need it so badly, JUST COZ!
but that is not all July wants from you. July is your doorway to the rest of the year—your WILL is the key. HEAVY on willpower. it is the invisible force that will make or break your dreams—hate to say it, but it has gotta be said!!!
honor your wishes and your commitments. honor yourself by standing on business. another thing to note is that all the tools in a tool deck, although they are very different and accomplish different things, can all be used together to create your dreams. don’t let the seemingly opposing events, situations, or resources in life lead you to believe that you cannot use them to get to where you want to go.
there is more—be lighthearted, my dear. take it easy. it is not a great time to internalize matters. water off a duck’s back is the motto.
and that wraps up the reading.
but now let’s get to your July prompts:
your July imagination prompt:
okay, this is for fun. DAYDREAM! imagine a life or a lifestyle that is out of this world. one that you think you may never be able to have... just fantasize. enjoy, have fun! go crazy! this is an exercise in expanding your imagination, not limiting it. let yourself be surprised by what your heart wants when no one is telling it to be realistic.
your July learning prompt:
learn HOW TO MEDITATE!!! pick any meditation you find on youtube and see which ones you like, how they make you feel, and which parts of you they activate. i would share one, but i want you to go and explore for yourself. and if you really want a recommendation, say so in the comments, and i will share one with you.
your July creation prompt:
grab your drawing book, or any notebook, and create a new mythical creature. there are no rules. that is to say... you do not need to create something beautiful. after drawing it, write down a few things about it, like its powers, what it eats, what it can do, and what makes it unique. once you are done put it up on your wall!
July Navigation Workshops
i am so excited to share these with you! this is something i have been meaning to do for a few years now. i will host two workshops each month, first one will be about exploring the monthly prompts together, and the second one will be one that will help us integrate the month and the lessons.
please save the dates. more info coming soon on here and on socials.
Workshop 1 — Sunday, 12 July - 7:30PM EAT (SAVE THE DATE)
Imagine. Learn. Create.
Inquiry:
What becomes possible when you give your imagination permission to lead?
This workshop brings this month’s prompts to life through guided imagination, reflection, embodiment, and creative practice. Together, we will explore what happens when we loosen the grip of realism, expand our desires, and create from a place of curiosity rather than certainty. The goal is not to arrive at answers, but to exercise imagination as a practice and self-authorship as a way of living.
Workshop 2 — Sunday, 26 July - 7:30PM EAT (SAVE THE DATE)
The Normalization Process
Inquiry:
What would become possible if this felt normal?
This workshop is about identifying the desires, identities, or futures that feel impossible, distant, or “not for me,” and gradually reducing their emotional charge through inquiry, embodiment, and imagination. The goal isn’t to force belief, but to make new possibilities feel familiar enough that you can begin moving toward them.
that is your map for navigating July. please feel free to ask questions about the reading in the comments — i’m happy to engage! and let me know if it’s resonating with you!
