7. Hair Stylists as Temple Keepers: Crown Artistry and Ceremony with Jade Atia

In this tender episode, I share a conversation with a beautiful sister and Mother, Jade Atia—hair artist, energy worker, and founder of Neshima Collective, a temple that weaves eco-conscious hair care with soul-aligned ceremony for the soma.   Jade shares her journey through the Temple of KA, a sacred online initiation that became a portal of profound remembrance. Last year, during this rite, Jade experienced the passing of her mother; a soul-gate that initiated her into the mystery of death as ceremony. Rather than closure, this threshold opened an eternal dialogue with her mother across the ethers, deepening her devotion to living in harmony with the unseen realms.   Her path through Sacred Feminine Kundalini Activation, grief alchemy, motherhood, and temple-building has shaped the living field of Neshima: an embodiment of breath, beauty and community coherence. Jade speaks to the of relocating to the land, integrating energy work into her salon practice, and shifting more of her offerings online to honor her season of life as a mother of three.   As both artisan and oracle, Jade revolutionizes what it means to “be in hair” tending the crown not just as style, but as temple devotion—our connection to higher realms.   In this episode, we explore: •The importance of our hair color and ceremonial crown tending   •Death as a ceremonial threshold •Energetic hygiene in hands-on professions •Land, lineage, and love as anchoring codes •Building community spaces that harmonize wellness and sovereignty    Find Jade on IG: https://www.instagram.com/shekinah._.temple?igsh=aGhlbm5xcXhieGk=   Learn more about Neshima Collective:  https://www.instagram.com/neshima_collective?igsh=aWNqamF6ejBlaW1v   https://www.neshima.com.au
