Notes

Eleni and Phoebe look at the many faces of secrecy. We also reflect on how it affects us and our society and what we can do about it.

• During Phoebe’s family reunion, relatives concurred that they didn’t understand how or why some events took place, such as switching out one religion for another.
• The book and Netflix documentary, The Family, brought up questions about secrecy within a larger organization v. the smaller family unit.
• Eleni and Phoebe share their experience of secrecy within their own families and family lines, how it impacted them and the questions it brought up. 
• The silver lining from growing up with secrecy is learning how to cultivate intuition since we can sense that there may be a greater unspoken story.
• Phoebe found that when she shared some of her own life experiences with her kids, it brought her kids a greater understanding of themselves, and seemingly random habits or feelings.
• Self awareness and using our inner compass helps us navigate the pervasive secrecy in our families and society.
• The Family and other organizations can twist the simplicity and beauty of life for their personal use and power.
• Doing our personal work helps us to be curious and not in reaction as we observe and poke into our families and society’s secrecy.

Notes

Phoebe and Eleni talk about how to identify and clear stagnant energy that lingers in living spaces. They share concrete tips on how to clear your home and personal spaces.

• We may not be able to see the energetic grime that coats our walls but we can usually feel the difference before and after we clear it.
• A deep clearing of a newly inhabited space helps clear out the previous occupants’ energy. 
• To maintain an energetically clear home, we give tips from clapping to music to prayer to more.
• Remembering to clear our own energetic fields is equally important, especially in tandem with clearing our living spaces. 
• Transition spaces, like walkways leading to the home’s front door, or a front yard, can be opportunities to release unwanted energy accumulated during the day before entering your home. 
• Phoebe compares the journey of the path to entering the front door to being in a cleansing car wash.
• Feeling if something is off around you is the first step to finding some preferred ways of clearing your home and self.

Notes

We share the heart and soul of our collaborative online course starting on September 28th, 2019. This fun and deeply transformative course (container) is expanding to welcome our individual and collective work.

• We’re building the collective container for our course, and it already houses some big energy.
• There are 4 parts to the course: 1) Exploring what’s no longer in alignment for us and releasing it; 2) Identifying our purpose and gifts for the right here, right now, to help us to step into our new; 3) Supporting each other, plus learning how to identify our own spirit and physical teams; 4) Integrating, embodying and bringing our purpose into physical form.
• We’ll learn how to sit with ourselves as we observe what’s coming up for us in our bodies, environment, the unseen world, and we’ll bring it into the physical world. We’ll learn how to work with our soul’s signature and our own and collective symbolism that we’ll download from our higher selves and the cosmos.
• 2020 is an energetically big year. We feel it’s perfect timing for our class.
• We invite you to enter the class’ portal, without expectations or a self imposed ceiling, to play with us and each other as we do fun and deep transformative work together.

Send us a note or ask us any questions here. We’re excited to welcome you.

Notes

We learn fast and furiously about ourselves through our friendships. Here’s an honest exploration how evolving or dissolving friendships have helped us experience who we are more authentically.

• Eleni reflects about how friendships shifted when she showed up differently, during a difficult time in her life.
• Phoebe relates how she avoided doing her own personal work when she became the caretaker of some friends. When she began to show up more authentically, some friendships that were mucky or one-sided ended.
• If we entertain the thought that we’re here to experience personal growth through our relationships, then it’s plausible that we’ve “previously” arranged to have some trying experiences with certain people. It’s as if we’ve signed contracts before we’re in body, to then act out those experiences, to learn and evolve.
• Why do we feel bad sometimes when we begin to show up differently in our friendships? It’s like we’re breaking a contract with them. We’ve changed the rules without consulting them.  How can we practice self-love during this time of friendship turmoil?
• Is a friendship honest? A solution to this question is to ask yourself the simple question, “Do I feel energized or depleted after I interact with this particular friend or group?
• Why are some friendships perennially solid?
• If we see ourselves as a whole person, our friend as a whole person, and our relationship as a third entity that’s equally whole, we‘re well on our way to a remarkable friendship.
• When a friend speaks their feelings from the heart, they appear so at ease in their body.

Notes

Phoebe and Eleni examine their attitudes about the food they eat. More of a garden salad kind of conversation, freshly picked and surprisingly nourishing.

• After a week cleanse, Phoebe feels more spacious in her body, which helps her to reevaluate her relationship with food.
• Eleni loves watching her toddler’s growing relationship with vegetables picked straight from the garden because it deepens her understanding of where food comes from.
• Food passed down through old or new family traditions creates a sense of celebration. These meals seem to evoke our hunter and gather inclinations and memories.
• Everything is made out of energy, including what we eat. One vegetable holds a different vibration than another vegetable.
• Food offers us the opportunity to tune into and listen to our body. How, where and what we eat determines how nourished and balanced we feel.
• If we eat something less nourishing with an attitude of gratitude and celebration, without guilt and shame, our digestion is better. How we experience food matters!

Notes

Phoebe and Eleni share stories about exploring and healing family patterns as well as celebrating family, past and present. Both are key to creating balance in life. This episode includes concrete examples and ideas of how to work positively with family.

• Eleni shares a clear example of how a family pattern has played out in her grandmother’s, mother’s, and her life. A must listen!
• Phoebe, an only child, talks about how releasing expectations that her relatives would want to explore family patterns allowed her to recognize the importance of celebrating family, past and present.
• Phoebe and her cousins are headed to a special family reunion honoring their grandfather and fathers, at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
• Phoebe is creating space for her family gathering by energetically sending little hello roses to her cousins, with the intention of celebrating their forefathers and each other.
• When we work energetically in a simple and joyful way, we easily create intention and a “container” from which to work or celebrate in.
• Eleni and Phoebe explore ways they currently connect with ancestors and how they can help their children understand the significance of this work.

Notes 

Phoebe and Eleni talk transparently about their experience with collaboration. They reimagine what collaboration is outside of the confines of traditional thought.

• Phoebe and Eleni share how they collaborate to create this podcast and an upcoming class, while honoring their own processes, their collective energy, and the collective.
• True collaboration allows self-observation and deep listening to keep interactions clear as they welcome in the new.
• Creating true collaboration falls outside of the traditional hierarchical structures, which can be unsettling, expansive and liberating, as a different way of being in community is created.
• If we’re energetically clear we’ll manifest equally clear work. If we’re not clear, we may manifest something we don’t resonate with at a soul level.
• Much of what’s being birthed in this new way is sprouting from the fertile ground of the Divine Feminine. 
• Consciously choosing to participate in creating feels different from participating out of fear or in reaction to.
• We’re here to create heart-based change.
• We can watch how something negative and untrue can become a reality through the sheer force of mass consciousness belief. 
• Eleni’s inspired by Caroline Casey’s reflection of asking yourself if your thoughts/actions/beliefs are liberating or binding (yourself or others).

A powerful and informational discussion about synchronizing the heart and mind as we strive to become more visible, whole and healthy.

Notes:

• Eleni and Phoebe discuss their experiences around visibility. A lot of ground is covered, including what is inspiring them to be visible, the challenges that have come up, and the ways they’re working with these challenges. 
• When Phoebe first joined Toastmasters some helpful feedback was that she appeared angry giving a speech. She realized that it was displaced anger to keep people at bay since she felt vulnerable public speaking.
• Noticing how we’re reacting to others’ body language and tone of voice may help us get more comfortable becoming visible.
• If we show up as our whole self we’ll be in right relationship.
• How do we step out of the mind and into the heart when we’re in front of an audience? Better yet, how do we synchronize the mind with the heart?
• Phoebe shares her take on how being heart centered isn’t the same as feeling emotional. For example, when she’s feeling defensive, she knows she’s in her emotions and not her heart.
• There can appear to be a fine line between genius and mental health issues. When we diagnose or label too quickly we miss that people may be tuning into a higher dimension. 
• Through self awareness and integration of our worldly and other worldly experiences we’ll begin to experience ourselves as whole.

Notes:

• Eleni shares themes from recent dreams, fears that arose from them, and how she worked with energetically clearing them.
• Phoebe shares recent dreams and the multi layers that exist within them. 
• The dream world is another non-ordinary reality place to travel to.
• The dream world can bring a fuller experience of being alive. 
• Dreams help us understand who we are. 
• Dream groups can be supportive, can create shared dreams, can be intimate experiences, and can provide different perspectives on our dreams.
• Dreams can inform our work, our life, bringing a fresh and new perspective.
• Phoebe talks about her dream journaling practice and how it enhances her dream life. 
• What does it mean when we aren't having dreams?
• Dreaming as a practice.

Notes

Phoebe and Eleni focus on the word and its powerful effect on us when we work or play. We create ourselves and the world we live in through the language we choose to use. 

• Phoebe talks about a class assignment in which she had to eavesdrop on conversations to get a better understanding of how natural dialogue flows. To her surprise, the dialogue she overheard wasn’t accessible to her because of unfamiliar dialect and slang.
• Eleni shares a story about how a religious, elder friend taught her that with some adaptation of the shamanic language, a world of overlap could be discovered in seemingly disparate spiritual beliefs and practices. 
• In poetry the essence of “life” can be distilled into a few select powerful words. 
• Listening to a foreign language on the radio, one can feel the rhythm, nuance and texture of it, without the pressure of understanding the meaning of the words.
• To Phoebe, academic writing feels left brained and poetry feels more right brained, but a made up language (gibberish) for unexplained reasons feels like she’s balancing both hemispheres of the brain. 
• The more we work in our fields, the less we seem to rely on the predefined vocabulary associated with our healing work, as both the work and vocabulary is ever evolving.
• Images, symbols have language that’s multi-dimensional and alive.
