Content Warning: Death and Dying

I don't say much this week, but instead I leave a lot of silence so you can hear the cricket song. Crickets are a symbol of human silence, non-reactivity, intuition, truth-telling, and pending disaster. These also happen to be the themes of the podcast. 

This week's message is not necessarily a hopeful one, but a message that invites the great alchemy of grief, wonder, art, beauty and love.

For all of us who are living through these times, may we find our way to belong here. 

Interestingly, a cricket actually perched on my computer monitor as I was editing this episode. They wanted to make absolutely certain their presence was known.

What would change for us if we could let go of the indoctrination around purity, perfection, performance? Who could we be if we truly belonged here, in all of our mess and chaos and neurosis? What does nature model for us in terms of purity and perfection?

In this episode, we rest in the holiness of chaos and contamination.

Sometimes, before we can move forward, something must be broken.

In the release of the full moon energy, we can shatter some pattern or some crystallized part of us from the past, to be reborn in the brokenness.

I mention a poem by John O'Donohue in this episode. You can find that poem here.

So much of our modern story of rugged individualism is based around our personal needs, strength and skill. What about the truth of our belonging? What about the bigger stories that we are a part of? What about the relationships that define us, invite us, feed us? How do we step into these communities of accountability with intention, consent, and sovereignty?

In this episode, we explore some examples of what intentional accountability might look like. I also recommend the book Change Here Now, by Adam Brock, as a model for this kind of living-which could change everything.

This episode deals briefly with traumatic death in the beginning of the episode.

In this episode we explore the magick of sound, hearing, and ways that sound can enhance our magick, amplify our mood, and deepen our experience of being alive.

This episode is from my heart to yours. As a mother and someone who cares a lot about this world, I offer you a message of validation, hope and support as we all navigate unprecedented times on Earth. 

I know we are all tired, and it is okay to be tired. Finding rest and nourishment are rebellious acts in this world. May you find the courage to rest.

It has occurred to me that our internalized self hatred and criticsm are a product of colonization. In this episode, I invite you to further decolonize your life through the liberating rebellion of self love.

I mention the word "kenosis," which you can read more about here.

Here is the link to My Deepest Me, the journal I mention.

And you can find out more about the Pachamama Alliance here, and Oasis Ministries here.

This episode is suuuuper edgy for me.

I talk about the efforts of Christian fascists to instill a theocracy in the United States.

I talk about the overturning of Roe V. Wade and other rulings by our Supreme Court.

And I educate on the reproductive rhythms of uterus bearing people, how to use that knowledge to protect against pregnancy, and the importance of fighting for the right for medical abortion.  I use words like vagina, cervix, intercourse, etc so listen with discretion if you're kiddos are around and not ready for those conversations. 

Some resources  I mention:

• Honouring Our Cycles by Katie Singer
• Fertility Awareness Method
• Read Your Body app

May all beings be free.
