Ctrl+Alt+Secrete: An Owner's Manual for The Human Body

This owner’s manual seeks to offer glandular explorations by way of movement, lifestyle practices, nourishment and a whole lot of secretion. Why the endocrine system? It’s made up of glands that make hormones - the body's chemical messengers that carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another influencing almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. When the glands are secreting our body flows with vitality.

We’ll attempt to bridge the space between artificial intelligence and the intelligence of the human body. If and when your physical//mental//energetic body experiences technical difficulties lean on these teachings as another form of altruistic technological advancement knowing that sometimes killing the rainbow pinwheel for the Mac-heads or the hourglass cursor for PC-prone could be as easy as Ctrl+Alt+Secrete (or ⌘+Option+Esc if we’re gettin’ technical).

With every gland there’s opportunity to:

• Ctrl the breath using active breathwork and mantra

• Alt between dynamic movement sets from the Kundalini and Katonah yoga practices

• Secrete by way of technique

Instead of approaching this in a medical way, we’ll explore these parts as though we were magicians - or tech wizards - because this work is all chemical. It’s alchemical.

This manual is an amalgamation of efforts with words + practices from Krista Schilter, naturopathic insights c/o Dr. Melissa Cugliari, ND, glandular recipes from Madelyne Beckles, and captures c/o Clea Christakos-Gee.

The purchase of this manual includes access to a digital portal with recorded on-demand videos and sounds related to its content so you can practice along when and how you want.
