THE LOBA MANIFESTO

Loba (n. Spanish): female wolf

Cosmology & Belonging

  • I belong to the Earth and the Earth belongs to me; held and protected by Her nature, I am never alone. 

  • Nonduality/interdependence grounds my spirituality and ethics; my moral web spans intimate relationships and wider Creation without pulling me too far in either direction. 

  • Theosis (active participation with the divine) roots my agency; life doesn’t happen to me, it happens for me. 

  • I orient my life around creation, not consumption.

  • I protect the sacred: that which must be protected to sustain life – beauty, love, creativity, free thought and expression, peace. 

  • All things are possible with time and form.

Inner Authority & Practices of Knowing

  • I turn inward for decisionmaking. 

  • Intuition is my trusted friend: I practice attunement to her voice. The more I attune, the keener she becomes. Though my intuition is my truth, it is not the truth.

  • Listening practice is life practice: through presence and discernment I attune to resonance, frequency, energy.

  • When in doubt, I consult the elements and all my senses.

  • My body is a doorway to innerstanding. I tend to her with loving-kindness.

Mind, Identity & Growth

  • I have ideas, but I am not my ideas; I don’t define myself by external identities. 

  • Abundance and manifestation grows from a place of authenticity. 

  • Even when I am facing fear or hyper-vigilance, I source from a calm and confident place within.

Action in the World

  • I use my voice to advance love, peace, and justice. 

  • I stay engaged with the living world around me, and use technology as tool, not crutch.

  • I don’t avoid or escape - I seek support, give time to integrate, and honor the birth-death cycle as regenerative mystery.

  • I embrace ritual and ceremony as meaningful markers in my life. I engage with them regularly.

Boundaries, Community & Ripple

  • I conserve my energy - and my “yeses” - as needed.

  • I support other women freely, without envy or expectation.

  • I harness the potency of intention, balancing discipline with playfulness in all I do.

I am always learning, always growing, always tending, always changing. 

Embodying these values creates beauty and strength, and ripples out into my communities.
