Gathering Space Podcast

This episode marks the return of Gathering Space after a four-month traverse through the Realm of the Interpersonal Houses.

This episode orbits a little around the astrological fourth house. It is not my most coherent, but if you are listening to this, it is likely because you already know and love me, and you like this part of me, too. I am fresh out of this doozy of an astrological season we have been having, and it shows.

Hey there folks. Here are some updates:

1) I am going to aim to be putting out one podcast episode per month for the next little while and see how that feels.

2) This episode is in mono. I am missing the bag that has my mic in it. I am sure I put it in a very safe space. Too safe.

In this fourth episode, focused on the second house, and second house matters, NVF talks about the difference between: 'feeling the fear and doing it anyway' and respecting the fear boundary that is cast by one's greatest and highest self. This fear work comes on the heels of understanding the difference between: 'giving everything I have' and 'giving everything I have to give'. Further discussion of the remainder principle.

In this episode NVF and Jennifer Ata of Tidal Heart Healing have chits and chats about resources and the second house. Apologies for the recording boop.

Out of time, but working no matter the condition. Allowing the work, no matter the condition.

An introduction to the second house and its energies: The joy of possibility and reaource allocation.

When under perceived or actual threat, the object is to survive. But it is a mistake to think that survival is a precondition to flourishing. If we are alive, we are flourishing. Engaging in acts and practices of flourishing in the direction of life itself will give us the energy and community we need in order to engage in resistance to that which we embody an inconvenience.

 

In astrology, the first house is unique because it represents the self in all ways: the physical self, ie the body, its function, its appearance; the character self ie the who we are moving life through our hands; and the spiritual self, the soulful self, the inspiration that informed and informs the audacity of our life's drive to sustain and endure.

Okay. Filed under learning how to podcast, is not knowing how to create show notes. I believe this is the place...let's see.
