Magic for Realists episodes

  • #23 Space: What I've learned from living in small spaces and now having a bigger studio space

    This episode was inspired by a listener question about what it's been like for me living in small spaces.  So this dose I talk about my various unconventional living arrangements and what I've learned from living in small spaces.  I also talk about what is shifting in me now that I have a--bigger than ever--  physical space in which to create.  I also touch on more metaphorical uses of the word "space".  Let me know how you relate to this!

  • #22 Poetic Fiasco: me reading and talking about a poem I wrote about unfulfilled longings

    In this dose of Magic for Realists I'm giving you a sample of some of my real poetry and process. I read you my long poem "Fiasco" which is a love story of sorts; or an unfulfilled loved story, more like it.  Then I answer questions I imagine you might have for me.  Also, I'm trying out a new microphones up.  Please let me know if you like this sort of dose and how you find the sound quality.  Thanks for listening!

  • #21 Convergence: My conversation with Andy Mort of the Gentle Rebel podcast
    In this week’s dose of Magic for Realists I share a lively conversation I had with Andy Mort. Andy is a musician, creative misfit and self-proclaimed Gentle Rebel. There’s lots of overlap in our passions and ethos and in this conversation we explore themes of integration, creativity, death, inspiration and what it’s like to make a podcast. I hope you enjoy the convergence! You can find out more about Andy at andymort.com . To learn how you can further support the Magic for Realists podcast please check out magicforrealists.ca

  • #20 Am I my Mother’s Keeper? My belated reflection on Mother’s Day, motherhood and nurturing energy.
    In this dose of Magic for Realists I reflect on Mother’s Day and my recent feeling of longing for an archetypal Mother. I talk about my personal relationship with mothering energy and the collective lack of wise elders in modern society. This dose is probably one of the more vulnerable feeling ones yet. If you’ve ever felt a not-so-straight-forward relationship to your mother or being a mother or contemplating motherhood this is definitely worth listening too to feel less alone.

  • #19 Clues: how our environment is connected to our internal state and holds clues to our well-being
    In this nineteenth dose I build on the theme from last week; looking at our environment for clues as to what’s going on. I start with Dream interpretation as a similar realm of personalized insights and leave you with something to practice this week. In the middle I give you three different clues (one of which I promptly forget!ha!) Website: magicforrealists.ca or same on Instagram :) Look on Patreon to tangibly support this show.

  • #18 Scene Analysis; learning to observe our surroundings with fresh perspective to gain insight.
    This eighteenth dose of Magic for Realists is a foundational idea for more doses to come. It’s about learning the skill of really seeing your environment, especially if it’s your usual scene. In it I give some specific exercises and examples to help you hone your observation skills. Practice this in the weeks to come and the forthcoming discussions and lessons will make more sense.
