Healing can't happen if we don't make literal and figurative space for it and the work it entails to happen.  It requires carving out a physical space in which you feel safe; a social space in which you know you're loved and viewed with non-judgement;  emotional space to feel the things you need to feel; mental space to consider and ponder what comes up.  These things are hard and there's no one path that's right for anyone but everyone needs to create and protect space for healing regardless of your personal path and practice.  Come with us as we get into the ins and outs of it.

What is shadow work? Chloe and Heather break it down and talk about the benefits and cost. 

Shadow work is an investment in yourself.  It's the unpaid labor of acknowledging, healing and integrating the parts of ourselves that we actively deny, carry shame or are stuck in trauma. This work is daunting but doable and super necessary for anyone looking to step into their power and take control of their healing.

Chloe and Heather break down what magick is, the benefits of using it and how they’re going to be bringing it to you through the pod.

Each month an entire episode is dedicated to an aspect of practical magick.  We are committed to making the use of magick in your life tangible, accessible and affordable.  Most of what we do utilized things you already have and the nature around us.  The point is to bring the varying layers of abundance you seek into your life.

Each month starts with a new theme and 4 different types of episodes:

Week 1 - Book blurbs: where we discuss an influential text for those interested in self-healing that we've found to be impactful.

Week 2 - Practical Magick: a deep dive into an aspect of magick, how to use it in your life and a guided spell.

Week 3 - Shadow Work: the process of acknowledging, honoring, healing and integrating the parts of ourselves that are stuck in trauma or we actively deny.

Week 4 - Reflection: We do all of the work that we discuss throughout the month so when it comes to an end we get together to discuss the process and impact of that work together.  We also pull two tarot cards that decide the next month's theme.
