🌿 Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes✨ When the vibe is pure, you learn, grow, and thrive. ✨Welcome back, Tribe! Today’s episode takes us out of the studio and in a cabin! As we close one chapter and prepare to enter 2026, it’s time to move beyond wishful thinking and into intentional manifestation-the kind that blends mindset, discipline, and spiritual alignment. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to set goals that feel good, make sense, and actually stick–blending a multitude of ancestral practices to believe and achieve the impossible. Because manifestation isn’t magic-it’s movement with purpose.

Please listen at your own discretion. Episode Summary In this special OTWV Experience, we take the Tribe offsite and into nature to welcome the New Year with intention, breath, and vision. Surrounded by fresh air and the quiet magic of a cozy cabin, we meditate together, debrief the experience, and explore the space as a reminder that expansion often begins when we slow down. We sip with holiday-themed drink charms, create vision boards rooted in clarity and desire, and share the moment alongside our FOURWARD friends, J & Dom. The episode closes with three powerful manifestation techniques designed to help you align your energy, trust divine timing, and call in what’s next.

🌿 Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes ✨ When the vibe is pure, you learn, grow, and thrive. ✨Welcome back, Tribe! As the world speeds up around the holidays–rushing to gather, to give, and to do. It’s easy to forget ourselves in the mix. For some, this season brings light, and for others, it brings loneliness, grief, or fatigue.Today, on this OTWV Experience episode, we’re slowing it all down. We’re grounding, resting, and getting real about what it means to sit with our emotions–not run from them. Because healing doesn’t always look like smiling; sometimes, it looks like breathing through the quiet and choosing peace over pressure.Content trigger warning: This episode contains discussions and themes of adverse experiences, abuse, neglect, or childhood trauma, which may be difficult to digest. Please listen at your own discretion. Episode Summary Today’s episode is another OTWV Experience, we slow the pace and lean into the permission to rest, especially during a season that often demands more than we have to give. We talk openly about recognizing overwhelm, choosing to step back without guilt, and listening to what our bodies and spirits are asking for.The conversation turns inward as we explore what our inner child truly needs during the holidays–comfort, safety, joy, and the freedom to feel without explanation. While traveling to see the holiday lights on what felt like the coldest day of the season, we reflect on how grief and sadness can quietly surface, and how to hold space for those emotions without allowing them to define us.We also discuss the power of releasing old traditions (like save the trees) that no longer serve us and creating space for new rituals rooted in intention, healing, and presence. Netta drops a bomb in the middle of the ride, ending with Awthentikk giving the audience a quick tip! This episode is a reminder that rest is not avoidance, grief is not weakness, and choosing yourself is always enough, especially during the holidays.Welcome to the OTWV Experience by Awthentikk Capsoule. Talk To The TribeThe Rest Revolution Challenge: Cancel one thing this week that doesn’t serve your energy and replace it with an act of rest or reflection. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe🐦 YouTube:youtube.com/@otwv🎙️ Spotify: http://bit.ly/4of4jpF🍎 Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/490S3om💻 Patreon: patreon.com/otwv🌍 Connect with the Tribe  📸 Instagram: @otwv_pod🎵 TikTok: @otwv_podTags#otwv #sad #seasonalaffectivedisorder #tribetogether, #holidaylights #thankful #accommodatingme #sunisgone #adultdiapers #nogrinchmeals #thankyouwhitecastle #intentionalgiving

🌿 Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes✨ When the vibe is pure, you learn, grow, and thrive. ✨Welcome back, Tribe! In this vibrant, joy-filled OTWV Experience episode of Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes, we’re turning the mic toward one of our own, Awthentikk, the show’s producer, to celebrate her and explore what it means to honor yourself out loud. Too often, birthdays and personal milestones get lost in the noise of the season. But not today.We’re diving into the art of celebrating oneself, the act of decluttering to make space for joy, and the beauty of embodying your higher order of self. Sagittarius season reminds us that expansion, truth, and joy are meant to be shared–because when we celebrate ourselves, we invite others to rise and shine with us.Content trigger warning: This episode contains discussions and themes of the holidays and birthdays that may go overlooked due to the holidays, seasonal depression, or hermitting for peace, which may be difficult to digest.

🌿 Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes✨ When the vibe is pure, you learn, grow, and thrive. ✨Welcome back, Tribe! Today’s episode takes us out of the studio and into the fields–literally through the OTWV Experience. We’re at Harvest Tyme, surrounded by the scent of pumpkins, crisp air, and the beauty of harvest season.This moment isn’t just about pumpkins or fall photos, it’s about reflection. It became a reflection on what it means to harvest, not just food, but lessons, love, and legacy. Harvest reminds us to gather what’s grown, to honor what’s come before us, and to plant with intention for what’s next. For Black and brown folks, being in these fields carries layers–a history of labor, legacy, and now, reclamation. We’re redefining what it means to harvest joy, to root ourselves in gratitude, and to honor our heritage in the soil that once held our ancestors’ sweat and dreams.So, after we explore the patch, let’s talk about what it means to reap what we’ve sown–emotionally, spiritually, and communally. Let’s give thanks for the fruits of our growth and remember: the Tribe is always growing, together. Content trigger warning: This episode contains discussions and themes of adverse experiences, abuse, neglect, or childhood trauma, which may be difficult to digest. Please listen at your own discretion. Episode Summary In this special episode of Oasis: Tribe with the Vibes, take a look at the first OTWV Experience where we take the Tribe on the road for a soulful day at the pumpkin patch–joined by special guests for candid conversations in the car, heartfelt reflections in the fields, and a spotlight on Black-owned businesses.For our ancestors, the fields once held both pain and purpose. From the plantations that built this nation to the small farms owned by Black families after Emancipation, our connection to the land has always been complex. The soil carries the weight of trauma but also the power of triumph.Today, we’re reclaiming that connection–not as laborers, but as healers, stewards, and storytellers. Together, we harvest joy, plant gratitude, and cultivate new traditions rooted in honor, heritage, and healing.Because this time, we’re not surviving the harvest–we’re celebrating it. 🌾✨Talk To The TribeHarvest GratitudeWelcome to the OTWV Experience by Awthentikk Capsoule. Visit a local orchard, farmer’s market, or green space this week.
