The Visionary Vortex

This is one of my final episodes to release before I give birth and it's on the pulse of a topic that has been alive for me throughout my pregnancy - creativity and stepping into the path of being an artist, as well as balancing being of service and supporting a thriving life that you love.

I'm joined by Alice, a bold and inspiring visionary artist and creator, who is passionate about supporting creatives, as well as being deeply devoted to a life of making art, no matter where else she focuses her energy. This episode is essential for anyone who may feel a split between wanting to have both a supportive business/career and a nourished path as an artist - something I myself have journeyed.

Alice shares on the topics of:

It was only a week after I had become connected to my pregnancy that Jae reached out to me with a vision to collaborate on an offering to share about creative magic with young women. I instantly had goosebumps. 

Jae and I have been weaving our journey's of creative mastery and stepping onto our paths as authors together across the past two years, and we've both been through our initiations to discover what creative living really asks of us to become and, even more-so, let go of being. 

In honouring of the announcement of our event for young women Precious Magic, we recorded this episode to share our wisdom on living in connection to creativity, as well as:

- How to come into connection with the most potent and authentic expression of creativity through your own channel

- Understanding creative resistance and how to use these perceived 'blocks' as medicine and your source of creative spark

- What it really takes to write and birth a book + behind the scenes of both of our experiences 

- The important of honouring your unique blueprint and desires when creating 

- How to discern and take of care of how your creativity is shared 

- Why we are choosing to work with young women in our first collaborative offer 

About Jae

Jae Schaefer is a guide, speaker and creator living in the Northern Rivers of NSW. Through her art, workshops and 1:1 mentoring she guides millennials and Gen Z through periods of intense awakening and transformation - and deeper into the presence of their own incorruptible Love.   If she’s not creating, dancing or dreaming, you’ll find her implementing her vision for a creative art house / boarding school for the next generation of wildly unorthodox creative humans.

Stripping away is such a gift. There is no loss, no scarcity. Only clear space to see what truly matters. What you want to create as the fullest expression of you. Choosing only what brings you the MOST joy.

This was one of my greatest medicines of the end of 2021. I spent nearly three months living in a community falling in love in the wild rainforest with my partner. Disconnected, naked most days, eating nothing that comes in a package or with a barcode. I fell off any remaining pedestal I had been standing on, or attempting to raise myself onto. I found what I naturally loved, when survival is not a concern and all I could perceive was abundance from the Earth. I created simply for my joy and to share healing energy with those around me. 

In the past weeks I've been stripping back even more. What seemed like safety and security is falling away and not to my detriment, but to make space for what truly matters.

This theme of course had my intuition spark to reach out to Octavia for her astrological references. 

We gathered on this episode to share our wisdom and map them to the planetary transits, in a special collaboration between The Visionary Vortex and Octavia's podcast Planet Medicine for the Leo new moon and months ahead. 

There's plenty of oracular insights here, including why you may need to prepare as if you would have at the start of 2020 if you knew exactly what was coming on a global level...

Tune in to prepare for your highest evolution.

There is a never a part of our life journey that isn't relevant to our growth and lessons we need to learn for our soul's purpose. Dance, music and partying has been a core part of my life, and I've been down the paths of experiencing the bliss of ecstasis in ways that have been both potentially harmful and supportive to my wellbeing. 

When we turn to a path of choosing our highest wellbeing, we often may believe it means giving up partying. Partying is associated with poisoning our bodies and spirits. Yet partying is a bridge between all of humanity, all walks of life can come together on a dance floor. Reviving the ritual of gathering community to reach ecstatic states through music and dance will support us to heal as a collective, and as global movements of transformational partying expands, artists are sharing New Earth frequencies worldwide.

In this episode I interview Ember 'Spring Jaiah' about her path as an ecstatic dance DJ, dancer and facilitator of transformational partying spaces. We go deep on this topic, as well as the value of being of present and in-service to your land and community through in-person events, and how you can start your own ecstatic dance event as well as:

- The magic of Far North Queensland (the land that has been holding me since after Season 1)

- Our shared journey’s in Bali and the island’s influence on the global ecstatic dance movement

- Turning your healing path into art and service

- Localising your leadership

- Bringing the healing experience back to simplicity, fun, connection and play

- Remembering that life is a party and taking party culture out of the shadows of disconnection to creative expression

- Healing through intimacy with aligned group frequency

- Shifting culture and consciousness through intentional music and sound

About Ember

Inspired by the reemergence of the feminine earth, and as such an embodied leader of community vision and change through movement, music and intentional community experiences in Far North Queensland, Australia since approximately 2016.

Season 1 ends with a special interview with a true visionary in her field - a dear sister Cathy Reed. She is a pioneer and activist in the space of erotic expression and revolutionising sex work, to bring it out of the shadows and into the light. I've had the honour of witnessing Cathy navigate her path of leadership and shine through her dedicated process of self-healing.

In this episode she shares her in-depth wisdom from discovering her sex worker lineage, navigating taboo around sexuality from her Church upbringing, how she found the divinity of her erotic expression through a self-initiated creative dance project, her perspectives on the healing potential of sex work and how she is mentoring women on this path. 

We also cover other hot topics such as the rise of women stepping into sexual healing work and sex entertainment through platforms such as OnlyFans, the ancient history of sexual priestesses and how this is being awakened in many people around the planet right now. 

Cathy Reed, a third generation exotic dancer, sensual expression is her birthright. Unrestrained by any formal training she breaks all the rules and boundaries that would inhibit her innate expression.

As humans we have the ability to completely transform ourselves and our realities over and over again. We are not fixed. We have many colours and forms and a whole world to explore. We are powerful creators and energetic beings that experience life based on what frequency we are putting out, though in order to manifest what we truly desire we must be willing to let go of all the conditioning and subconscious beliefs that keep us small and in suffering.

Today's guest Katie Valentine discovered these truths through her journey of healing from depression, anxiety and eating disorders with subconscious reprogramming, sound healing and transformational coaching - the modalities she now shares with others to guide them through their own metamorphosis. 

Also a writer and poet, Katie brings through a number of stories in this episode that inspire and entertain - from manifesting her dream apartment in Barcelona, intuitively-led travel tales, how open relating has amplified her self-worth, healing through BDSM and more.

I began my inner child healing journey during my first self pleasure circle, where I was taken back to the first time in my life where I discovered my pleasure and erotic energy. Since then I've been passionate about sharing how our sexuality is pure and innocent. 

Connecting to our inner child awakens our freedom and full creative expression, and so does consciously connecting with our sexual energy. 

When I met Chloe I could feel how she embodied the inner child through her sexual expression in the same way as me, and the longer I continued to follow her online, the more I fell in love with the way she lets this part of her shine while talking about pussy love and sexual empowerment. I knew this conversation between us needed to happen, and just as expected it is absolute gold!

She put on her sunflower pussy ears I put on my crown and favourite rainbow butterfly top to giggle and share our experiences on...

- How inner child healing was brought to our awareness through sexuality retreats

- The connection between the way we date and how we were raised by our parents

- The inner child's role in sexual healing

- The various stages of sexual empowerment 

- Healing the inner child through conscious kink 

- How the inner child helps us become free and liberated from conditioning

And ways for you to begin to connect with your own inner child!

I got to meet Teddi at a witches retreat with Angel Phoenix (check her out on EP2) earlier this year and her EFT tapping sessions supported us to move through blocks around sharing the full capacity of our magic in the world. Teddi has come on to share her triple Leo essence right on cue. In the last episode my previous guest Comet and I landed a huge activation on the importance of using your voice as your weapon for peace (a must listen if you haven't already!). Now Teddi joins me to go deeper into moving through our blocks around expression and confidence - her area of expertise and embodied wisdom.

We jam on...

- The blocks and conditioning from society that stops us from expressing ourselves

- How healing through our limitations can be joyful and light - even when we're doing shadow work

- How plant medicines have supported us to feel safe to let go of our pain and feel safe in our full expression

- Influence vs Intuition - how to filter the information you receive and discern what is your deepest truth

- Boundaries and honouring yourself when taking care of your vessel and how this supports you in your confidence
