Hey everyone, I hope you are safe and able to stay home. As promised I am sending more podcast episodes your way so that we can least connect through the cosmic internet vibes. This Sunday I am also hosting a donation based grief circle - we'll do some gentle breathwork, meditate together, journal and do some self-massage to ease the lack of touch. You can learn more, sign up and invite your friends here: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/grief-tending/ I really loved talking to Kathleen for this episode and have received several tarot readings from her that I still treasure and listen to lots (they are currently on sale for $25). Kathleen is truly magical, very real, very creative and very wonderful. Here is what we talked about:  

Although she thinks of herself as an eternal student, Kathleen has been working with the tarot for the past 19 years. Her father was a tarot reader in the 1970s but kept it secret from her until she bought her first set of cards at the initiatory age of 13. He refused to teach her the language of the cards, so she spent many years finding her own way with them. She has taught herself plant medicine and astrology over the course of the last 7 years, and now weaves her love for tarot, astrology, and plant medicine together in her work to support transformation in herself and clients. She is also trained in IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) and Reiki to nourish the space she holds for others. By learning to find the voice within after all these years, she now teaches others how to find their own inner wisdom and that we can be our own healer. https://www.daughterofwands.com Kathleen's tarot readings on sale: https://www.daughterofwands.com/offerings-1/recorded-tarot-reading https://www.instagram.com/daughter.of.wands/

I am celebrating five years in business today! ⁠ "I trust myself to make this work" is still my favorite business affirmation and I am excited for the next five years. ⁠ ⁠ Working for myself has given me a lot of freedom, room for creativity, community, rest, inspiration and joy. Obviously it's also given me a lot of headaches and challenges, but at the end of the day I have never regretted it. ⁠ ⁠ I've recorded an episode sharing my biggest lessons - ⁠I talked about unlearning competition, having good boundaries, rethinking success, making time to work ON your business and listening to your body as a wise mentor. Enjoy! ⁠ ⁠ Thanks for supporting my work, being here, listening and sharing and for making all this possible. ⁠ ⁠ Love you,⁠ ⁠ Yarrow

Hey everyone, happy Friday! I'm loving this episode so much and I hope you will too! Jess Grippo is so fun and wonderful to be around and she has really inspired me to finally f*cking dance again. In this giggly interview we talked about the following, amongst many other groovy things:  

Jess Grippo is a dancer, performer, writer, creativity coach, and the author of Dance With This Book. After leaving her ballet career and being distanced from the dance world for years, she started making dance videos alone in her room. These DIY expressions would become the catalyst for reviving her creative expression and later transitioning her career back into dance - but this time, in her own way. Since then, she's been invited to speak and perform at TEDxNYU, Lincoln Center's Dance On Camera Festival, the New York Comedy Club, and more. Her programs and videos have been helping people for years to reclaim dance, feel at home in their bodies, and revive their creative expression. You can dance again: https://www.jessgrippo.com/you-can-dance-again-2020 jessgrippo.com Instagram/Tiktok: @jessgrippo

Loved folks, I could not help but record a mushy solo episode for valentine's day. Sorry, not sorry! It's a pep talk on luxurious embodiment practices, easy rituals, documenting life and remembering that healing is always political. Wether you hate this day, celebrate it or ignore it I hope you can make yourself feel like you're bathing in softness sometimes and that we can talk and dream about deconstructing the binary of self- and community care together.

Hey friends,

happy new moon!

This particularly beautiful Friday feels perfect to bring you an interview with Luna Dietrich, also known as the pussy witch <3 It’s been wonderful and inspiring to talk to them about:

I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did <3

Luna Dietrich (she/they), aka Pussy Witch, is a pleasure centered sex educator, writer, healer and virgo-queer-femme-boss. Raised catholic and a born people pleaser, sex hasn’t always felt shame free for Luna.

At 14 years old, Luna “lost her virginity” (virginity is a myth) and was slut shamed and outcast. In college, she fell into a long term, safe monogamous relationship, losing all sexual desire, believing she was broken. It wasn’t until she discovered queer sex that she learned how much pleasure could be felt in the body, rather than sex just being an exchange for male attention and closeness.

With a focus on trauma-informed, comprehensive, pleasure-based sex ed, Luna has led over 1,000 students through her online courses. Her passion is helping recovering people pleasers and exhausted activists release shame and weave pleasure into their entire lives.

Hey appreciated listeners, this episode is really close to my heart - I love working with my guest Rebekah Erev and really appreciate all that they do. Rebekah's work is so rich with imagination and reverence for the earth and the human experience and yet also really tangible and accessible. Here is what we talked about:  

Rebekah about their work:  I am an ordained kohenet (Hebrew priestess), feminist, queer, artist, intuitive, healer, lover, creativity coach and teacher. I live on the Salish Sea in Olympia, WA., the original village of the Steh-chass people.

Hey beloved listeners, I am sorry there has been a little break and I am really excited to be back with another episode in this wild gemini full moon week!  I felt very luck to get to speak to Virginia Rosenberg, whose work I first came across after taking a Qoya class and learning about her role as the resident astrologer. Her approach is so embodied, open, curious and creative and I loved chatting to her about everything from birth charts to Saturn returns!  Here is what we talked about:  

Virginia Rosenberg is an Intuitive Astrologer and Movement Artist for social change. Her passion is natural healing of self and society. Virginia believes that we are made to heal, and that healing is a matter of becoming more conscious of and connected to ourselves, each other, and the more-than-human-Worlds. Astrology and movement are age-old tools for reconnection, and she stewards these disciplines. Since 2010, Virginia has offered thousands of readings for clients worldwide. She teaches astrology, qi gong, and various forms of dance, leading retreats, classes, and workshops. Her writings on astrology, spirituality, and society have gone viral and are used as teaching tools in meditation and study groups. She is Resident Astrologer for Qoya. Her educational background includes post-colonial and women’s/gender studies, cultural anthropology, journalism, documentary filmmaking, Taoist philosophy and internal martial arts, myriad forms of dance, spiritual alchemy, ritual, ceremony, and energy work.
