It’s never a bad time to talk about breaking up with capitalism! In this episode, we discuss practices you can incorporate into your daily life - personal, business and spiritual - to do just that.

November 02, 2020020: Wheel of the Year for Self-Care
Let’s take a tour through the solar year! The Wheel Of The Year includes 8 Sabbats (or holy days) including 4 solar festivals and 4 seasonal festivals, each marking the passage of the seasons and honoring the never-ending cycle of nature’s fertility. By examining these mile markers through the year, we can align our self-care and rituals to connect more deeply to the earth — something we could all use a little more of these days.

October 19, 2020018: Intergenerational Healing and Imposter Syndrome with Rayshauna Gray
Today, we’re joined by writer and historian Rayshauna Gray to discuss breaking painful cycles. In addition to her work with Harvard University, The Cambridge Historical Society, Boston Book Festival, and National Organization for Women’s Legislative Task Force, Rayshauna blends history, theology, astrology and tarot to explore topics like intergenerational trauma and imposter syndrome.

She created #TheHeartWorkIs Framework, the Modus Operandi deck, and is currently finishing her first book, Roseland, which narrates the last 200 years of the nation’s history through the stories of seven generations of women in Gray’s family. She is brilliant, generous and oh-so-kind. We know you’ll be as fascinated by this conversation as we were!

October 12, 2020017: Everyone Is Intuitive, Part Two
Anyone else feel like they could use a little reconnection lately? Call it gut feelings, instinct, whatever you want - but intuition is a muscle we all have the ability to develop. We know the idea of starting to work with intuition can be intimidating, so we have 5 super simple (and free!) steps that can be done together or individually to begin working to tune in. Happy channeling!

October 05, 2020016: Cyclical Activism
To us, cyclical activism is a practice of being politically involved in a way that is ongoing and sustainable. In the same way that we use cycles to create supportive personal self-care practices, we can use cycles to ensure we are taking action towards collective change in a way we can keep up long-term.
If you have ever felt overwhelmed or unsure of how to get involved, this episode is a great place to start!
