Grief Magic: Rituals, Tarot & Creativity for Seasons of Loss

Hey everyone,

thank you so much for all the wellbeing wishes for my broken leg, I really appreciate them <3

I’m wishing you a beautiful Imbolc if you are celebrating and am excited to send this conversation with the wonderful Langston Kahn your way. This has been so nourishing to record and I really hope you’ll get as much out of it as I did! Here is what we talked about:

Langston Kahn is a shamanic practitioner and teacher specializing in radical human transformation, ancestral healing and the restoration of an authentic relationship with our emotions. He stands firmly at the crossroads, his practice informed by somatic modalities, contemporary shamanic traditions, initiations into traditions of the African Diaspora, training with indigenous elders and his helping spirits and ancestors weaving it all together. He gives workshops and lectures globally in person and online and is the author of Deep Liberation: Shamanic Teachings for Reclaiming Wholeness in a Culture of Trauma. For more information please visit his website: LangstonKahn.com.

Hey everyone, a hundred episodes! Wow. This feels really special and I am so grateful for your support. This is a celebratory episode, of course, but I also have a lot of updates to share. Listen in if you wanna hear about:  

Honestly my key takeaway is that all the small things matter. All the journaling and looking out of the window and reading and dreaming, it all meant something and it all will continue to mean something across time and space and through whatever we have yet to go through. So thank you for coming along! Love, Yarrow

Hey everyone, here we are, we made it to the very end of 2020!  I wanted to record this episode to say thank you and also to give anyone who needs it permission to not make new year's eve resolutions. We've done enough by just making it through this year without abandoning ourselves and we deserve a gift to celebrate that instead of another to do. Of course if you have a resolution that feels good I am happy for you! But if you are celebrating alone today too and want to hear some thoughts about nice rituals and getting cozy then I hope this episode will feel nice to listen to! 

Much love, Yarrow

Hiii! First of all, thank you so so much for all your love, encouragement and support this year. I've been feeling it and it means the world to me.  In this last episode of 2020 I've been reflecting on what it means to let things be enough, at least for now. Going into the winter break I want to let go of all the shoulds and could haves and just allow myself to rest and digest. I hope you'll do the same! Listen in for some updates and plans for 2021 as well as some thoughts on 2020 and being good enough.  Love, Yarrow

Hey loved listeners, I seem to be in a good podcasting flow at the moment and am happy to bring another interview  with the wonderful Sam Wallen your way. Writing has been so precious to me this year, so I am glad for any chance to talk about the practice and magic of putting words to paper. Without further ado here is what we talked about: 

Samantha Wallen is a writer, writing coach, burgeoning deep ecologist, and poet at heart. She offers transformative writing workshops, group and private coaching programs, and retreats for writers, want-to-be writers, and non-writers alike so they can discover their voice, clarify the deep value, purpose, and focus of their writing, and develop structures for committing to a sustainable and nourishing writing life and practice. Sam’s mission is to restore the soul, one word at a time. Her work centers around what she calls, “Restorative Writing” and the “Restorative Writing Cycle.” Restorative Writing is writing that seeks to connect to the deeper meaning of life in order to revive and restore our relationship to the precious, invisible essence at the heart of the living world. It's writing that longs to be witnessed and known by others, and writing that uses words as a pathway to reach what lives beyond language so that we might reach others and bring deeper connection to, and understanding of, what it means to be human in these strange and unprecedented times. It’s writing that seeks to touch, express, and restore our souls, and the soul of our world.

Hey friends, I thought it might be nice to step away from the news for a moment in election week to reorient myself to something I really love - having honest conversations with magical people. Speaking to Mimi Young was really beautiful and I hope this conversation will bring some inspiration and comfort your way. Here is some of what we talked about:  

Mimi Young is a shamanic witch and founder of Ceremonie (@shopceremonie), an esoteric brand focusing on in-person and online core shamanic and occult education, Remote Shamanic Readings, and plant potions for skin and aura. Mimi works with a blend of modalities including core shamanism, plant spirit healing, chao magick, and Chinese esoterics, with a focus on healing through shadows, dream work, divination, ancestral connection, and psychic development. She is also a neurofeedback practitioner (@openmindsperformance), where she supports others in accessing their peak via neurological resilience. It's this intersection of ancient and frontier that she finds most fascinating and effective for human expansion. Though possessing psychic gifts her whole life, Mimi stepped into this line of work “by accident” while on bedrest for 5 months during her second child’s pregnancy. Having an alinear background in design, education, and clean tech, she sees her background as a way to relate, to be curious together, and to live our most aligned selves.

Hey everyone, how are you doing and feeling? It's a lot, isn't it? This weekend is both Samhain and a blue moon in Taurus, so I wanted to send some love, some resources and some ideas your way. I am also sharing what rituals I'll do this weekend and I have an exciting announcement for low cost creativity sessions this winter.

Hey friends, I am sharing this solo episode on both my podcasts - Daydreaming Wolves and the DIY Small Business podcast because it feels relevant to both projects. I came across the expression voluntary simplicity this week and it's been intensely on my ever since. While I never resonated with "voluntary poverty" there is so much freedom and pleasure in keeping things simple. So in this episode I am exploring how I am valuing simplicity in my life - in the home I bought, the ways in which I allow my business to stagnate, in how I try to get better at letting things be what they are and be led by my values rather than dominant narratives. I am asking what it can look life to be right sized in the space we take up, to find our own kind of success and am also giving a little update on smartphone free life, in case you're interested. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone, this is just a little seasonal check in - I am sharing what I am doing to prepare for winter, about my new home in Scotland, about my worries for the world and the things I am working on at the moment. I recorded this sitting in bed on a Sunday afternoon while the dogs are sleeping and I hope it arrives in your space like a little soft cloud full of pandemic reflections.
