And here we are… landing The Mothership Volume 2 with our final track for The Village.

Track 9 is a montage of “Words to Live By.”

It was always our intention to create an audio-first experience for present and future mothers. Even if that meant we made it slow, intentionally, and one track at a time.

Along the release of this sophomore audio album, we received many private messages from you.

One of the themes from those messages that stands out to me is the concept of how energizing it is for others when we each embody our personal destiny with a holy endurance — for others to see.

This is the idea that “keeping up” is a practice that you do which gives hope to others when they see it in action.

This is the idea that most of the effect your work has in the world after it leaves you, you won’t see directly, or at all. But it will have an effect, nonetheless.

This is the idea that your single pointed projection creates a legacy of sound that holds an infinite number of potential possibilities for others to create from.

This is the idea that the Giver always receives the most.

It’s been such an honor to share this commitment with you. We hope you’ve enjoyed Volume 2.

Track 9 is a montage of “Words to Live By.”

It’s our honor to share with The Village our interview with 2-time GRAMMY Award-Winning artist and world-renowned Kundalini Yoga student and teacher, Gurujas Khalsa.

In this accelerated Master Class on Sound, you can expect to hear about:

THE POWER IN MANTRA.

* A Life Hack to create miracles.

* “What Mantra wants to create is a sovereign being. It’s not about being in bliss and happiness all the time. It’s about increasing your awareness.”

* How to change your cellular structure and experience in your life through the 10th Gate, tip of the tongue, roof of the mouth.

* Teaching our children to hear themselves.

* Aquarian Children and their deeper relationship with sound.

* A Mystical understanding of Silence.

“When we speak to anyone, you’re trying to speak in such a way that your sound uplifts that person. And it’s an intention. It’s simple but powerful to put into practice.”

“For me, my mediumship is how I serve the world and then my art is to remember myself. It’s a need; an itch I have to scratch.” - Mary Grisey

Mary channels her guides and her own inner wisdom, to share why Now is a really good time to reinvent yourself, her personal practices for activating creativity, and even shares the psychic vision she has mid-conversation with Jeana.

Conversation Highlights:

* Art as Channeling: Am I Channeling? What’s important in the urgency to create. The sticky aura. The gift of presences through the pressures of mothering. The intelligence of your spirit team.

* Mary’s Personal Practices: More love and more chaos and more responsibility in your life. The importance of Prayer.

* Relationship with the Mother: “My first daughter gave me confidence. My second daughter has given me a true connection back to spirit & the shadow and light in myself.”

* Do We Have to Monetize Our Art? “It may not be making money, but if it comes from your soul, it probably will. Our spirit time is not going to allow us to fail if we are resonating from our hearts.” Should we fear AI.

About Mary Grisey

Mary Grisey is a psychic medium, channeler and visual artist based in Los Angeles, California. She has been connected to the unseen world ever since she can remember and works closely with her Spirit Guides.

Sarah Irani is an artist and mother. Her books on THE PARADISE REALM combine poetry, photography, paintings, nature, desire, ancestral transmissions, child-like innocence and journal prompts in an interactive 3-part series. Her self-portraits are particularly stunning in her natural habitat in natural form.

Sarah Irani’s “A Place for the Women Grow” offers us a taste of The Paradise Realm, where women restore order to a land that has been ravaged. In their alignment with nature, boundless in freedom, they bring beauty back to Mother Earth. Irani’s poetry is visceral and real: playing on our ability to dream up a heavenly place even when it feels like darkness is all around us.

About Sarah Irani

Sarah is a mom to a teenager, a modern mystic who moves through the workaday world with a primal perspective, bringing her erotic depths up to the surface in order to play with the true expression of her soul. She works for a publishing company of spiritual books, while also self-publishing books of her own writing, art, and poetry. Find her books and the Paradise Realm online guided journey.

ANA ORRACH, mother and writer, shares with us her reflections on motherhood in a spoken word poem that reads like the Voice-Over in a Terrence Malick film. It is the ultimate expression of unconditional love and grief and wonder in the transformation from maiden to Ma.

About Ana Orrach

Ana Orrach is an intuitive mother to her 3 year old embodied son. She’s a writer, creative, and reflector.

When her son was born she was cracked wide open to the sacred work of raising children. She deeply believes that becoming a parent is spiritual work that focuses on the reparenting oneself through the reflection of our children.

Her writings take you on a personal journey and exploration into the depths that is motherhood, by sharing her soul's voice, she hopes that you get to catch a glimmer of your own reflection. 

In what she calls her past life, Ana was the head of production of a post production company, working on commercial advertising, music videos, and documentaries. You may even get to hear her voice over work on a few of those commercials.

About Jeana Donovan

Jeana Donovan (a.k.a Isaiah’s mom) is the creator, producer, editor and contributing writer of The Mothership. Her passion for motherhood and restoring the forgotten “village” came shortly after becoming pregnant and discovering the holier, more sacred approaches to birth that seemed to have fallen through the cracks of modern maternity. Her love of collaborating with artists and bringing ideas/stories to life has been a driving force to her work. Her credits include a voiceover in a U2 video, artwork featured on Times Square, and several recorded conversations with her husband, Remington, in their weekly podcast The Mystical Artists.
