A Wild New Work

What could we gain by embracing and understanding our own cycles? We can access so much more in the larger cycles of life when we know the cycles of our bodies more intimately. In this conversation with menstrual circle facilitator Megan Hayne, we explore how the seasons manifest in our bodies, what’s possible when we allow our inner Autumn to unfold, and visions of the village.

How do we die well inside of a culture that rewards us for dissociating from what’s actually happening? Is it possible to witness and transform death phobia into something more true? In this conversation with visionary artist, writer, and end of life caregiver, Rachael Rice, we explore nondualism, death work, collapse, folk art and more.

Orb weaver spiders create strong, spiral webs suspended in space and wait for what they need to come to them. What can we learn from them as we travel further into the darkest time of year, when we’re asked to let go of our pursuits, ambitions, linear thinking, and Summer ways of being in the world?

Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price

Who are the dead, and what do they have to do with our vocation, the climate, or navigating our modern lives? It turns out that they have a lot to do with all of those things, and in this conversation with writer and educator Perdita Finn, we dive into how wonderful and natural it is to collaborate with those on the other side.

Welcome to the first episode of the Autumn season! Learning how to navigate the darkness, literally and spiritually, is a skill that most of us would benefit from working on. Knowing how to be in the dark helps us to become people who are in touch with an older wisdom and can live out our deep service to the world.

As we approach the Autumn period, we approach the heart of nature’s death cycle. If we’re willing to be wise, we can use this time to look at and tend to what has died or is ready to die: lifeless jobs, projects, ways of relating, or beliefs about what’s possible for us. And what about when we’re on the other side of a death, what then? In this episode, I share what the vulture can show us about how to metabolize the little deaths we experience so that we can find liberation and soar with grace.

Being in relationship, mentorship, and collaboration with others is essential to living a full and bright life, but there are times when we need to reconnect with the inner wisdom that flows through us first, letting go of the inputs from other people. In the late Summer and early Fall, we can work with the seasonal shift by listening to the calls we hear to separate from daily life and attune to the transformation that is taking place.
