Te de Sura Studio

Welcome to Te de Sura Studio

…an experiential studio “space” for embodied integration, realignment, and where you are both the art and the artist.

Intentionally curating your life is both an art and an embodied practice.

Whether you want to integrate insights from a single powerful experience, or finally align your life with what you have known all along…

…Expecting your outer world to shift without tending to what is happening inside of you is like looking into a mirror with a sour expression and being mad that your reflection isn’t smiling back.

The mirror does not initiate. YOU do.

And I’ve designed Te de Sura’s experiential studio “space” to support your exploration.

My “Self Love” letter for you, my dear fellow traveler:

To experience what you want in your life, all parts of you need to be integrated and in alignment.

This means no more unconscious self-sabotage, no more mixed signals, and above all, your nervous system and “container” (body) feel safe enough to receive what your mind is asking for.

Sounds a little too good to be true and maybe even out of reach, right?

Fair enough. This type of self-inquiry isn’t easy, in part because most of us aren’t taught how. What we do learn is how to hide who is actually in there and then over time, we simply forget.

And then it becomes easier to remain in hiding because when we fully embody ourselves, what isn’t aligned falls away and this can be very painful. I will be the first to tell you, there IS a cost.

But what is the cost of remaining hidden? If you’re still reading this, maybe you’ve decided it’s still a price worth paying. I’m biased, but I’ll tell you that it is.

We need to break free from the collective “stories” of the mind and get to the hidden treasure behind them. Let the body and nervous system lead.

How? you may ask…

That’s exactly how I can help you. Te de Sura Studio’s growing collection of interdisciplinary somatic (body-led) offerings and creative and FUN experimentation with movement, sound, and the voice provides SO many “tools” for this kind of exploration.

This kind of journey isn’t about taking you out of your life for an experience outside of yourself.

It’s about helping you connect differently to the life you already have as the artist of your inner and outer world, right here in the present moment, to experience it more deeply…a journey to the center of yourself.

And what is fascinating is that once you know and love who is inside, and you realize how much power you hold to create exactly what you want, the outer world realigns accordingly.

Your outer experience DOES change, but it changes to match YOU rather than the other way around.

Let’s get started exploring - you are who you have been waiting for.

What is “Te de Sura” (Tay-day-soo-rah)?

Te de sura is a term I created from the Spanish words “tesoro” (treasure) and “basura” (trash).

Te de (la) Sura = Treasure from Trash.

Years ago, Te de Sura Studio started out as an upcycled wearable art studio…where I rescued objects, supplies, or “stuff” that were thrown away or discarded and made them into something loveable again.

Then I realized that this concept could very easily be applied to point when we realize that the parts of ourselves that we have hidden or rejected are perhaps our greatest treasure and we slowly integrate them back into the light.

Our greatest gifts come from the shadow. That’s not some ChatGPT crazytalk. (I wrote this all by myself, thankyouverymuch)! I’m serious.

So now, “stuff” isn’t the art. YOU are.

But just as the creation of a masterpiece takes quiet devotion, courage, and mastery through practice, the same is true for you.

In Te de Sura’s experiential “studio space”, you’re invited to devote yourself to exploring to the very center of yourself…as an everyday ceremony and daily practice, where we go back in for all of those precious pieces you hid.

They all have value. And when you start embodying that truth, everything around you aligns accordingly.

Ready to Commit to Your Path on the Deepest Level?

As one of my 1x1 coaching clients, you can choose the cohesion and inner union of the Realignment Pathway or the expression and embodied truth of the Amplification Pathway… or both!

So much of the advice out there tells you to look outside yourself for answers. But the key to feeling truly at home with yourself and in your life is less talk and stories of the mind and a whole lot more direct experience.

To be fair, you don’t need a coach for this. Yep, I said it. Everything you need is already within you. My job is simply to help you access it.

And although you don’t need a coach, having one might be helpful. Big shifts are hard to make on your own and mind-based approaches only get you so far. And sometimes, it takes the right kind of compassionate witness to serve as your mirror and guide, especially as you are just starting out.

So you can think of this like a journey through a foreign land. I’ll be your trail guide and translator on this journey to the center of yourself — helping you tune into the inner signals your body, mind, heart, and spirit have been sending all along, until the day arrives that you realize you understand the languages they speak and can wayfind on your own.

Just so we are clear, arriving at the point when you tell me, “Thanks for everything, Kristi. I can find my way from here on my own”, is the goal here.

Whether you’re choosing the Realignment coaching pathway to bring the scattered pieces of yourself into coherence… or Amplification coaching to express your truth and live it out loud… this work is about “unhiding” and fully embodying who you are, from the inside out.

Because when all of you is online…not just your mind, but your mind, heart, body, and spirit…the shift actually sticks.

Sound intriguing? You can explore these two pathways more in depth on this page.
