Join Bridge for a conversation with Katie Vie, an Archetypal mystic, as she shares how her roots in aromatherapy and body work bloomed into an archetypal cosmology that includes scent divination and rituals for self acceptance. Katie tells us about her discovery of The Wheel of the Year through her first "mystery school" experience, and the ways she brings this ancient wisdom into her everyday life. Katie and Bridge discuss how we can connect with the divine through an awareness of the rhythms of nature by engaging in what Katie calls “sacred noticing” and trusting one's own experience.

Join Bridge as she unpacks the meaning of Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival that marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter. This is the time of year where it is believed that the veils between the world of the living and the dead thin and communication with our ancestors is easier. She invites us to consider how our ancestors show up in every day life and how this season can create devoted focus for honoring the legacy that lives on in us as their descendants.

Bridge is joined by a special guest, Ruby Nachom, a local designer and metalsmith with Nemesis Jewelry, to explore her journey with spirituality and religion.

Join Bridge for reflections upon hurricane Helene as her community approaches the one year anniversary of the regional devastation. She reflects upon ritual and ceremony that are created when we as humans navigate the waters of grief. These gatherings provide space to honor what was lost and express gratitude for what remains. She shares the story of how communities came together in the aftermath of the storm to ease the suffering of others, noting the holiness of those moments. She recognizes that in a fragile time of recovery what stood out was how humanity was a beacon of hope and reminder that we all in it together.

Join Bridge on an exploration of how belief in the myth of scarcity can lead to division and a disconnection from the sacred that resides in all of us. She unpacks how fear is the underlying emotion that drives this myth and yet, when faced with our own vulnerability we show up for one another. She highlights that when we move toward understanding the truth of abundance we recognize the common threads of our humanity. This leads to remembering that we all have a divine connection, that love is abundant, and we all matter.

Bridge explores how feeling seen, heard, and valued helps us to remember our sacredness. She acknowledges the vulnerability we can feel when we are truly seen by another person and the holiness of that interaction. Bearing witness to a person's important thresholds, stories, joys and sorrows communicates that they matter, that they belong. Something that is important, more than ever, to understand and share with each other.

Bridge shares the story of a magical walk as an example of sacred noticing which can be a way to connect with the Divine. She reflects upon ways to observe our encounters with nature and the unexpected which helps us to tune into the signs and messages from our ancestors and loved ones. Understanding magic as a reflection of the unknown and how our relationship with it changes as we grow older, Bridge considers how to appreciate the unexplainable without always having to search for a logical reason for its occurrence. Recognizing that magic is ever present in our lives if we are open to that possibility.

Bridge explores the connection between gratitude and the divine through story telling about her own experiences. The story highlights the gift of nature and what wisdom it holds evident in its evolution. This episode considers how mindfulness can help us to be fully present with nature and each other. Gratitude for those organic, authentic moments of connection to others through deep and meaningful conversations. What happens when we embrace that authenticity and create space for the Divine to reveal its presence in our everyday lives?
