In the Fall of 2024, I had the opportunity to lead a workshop at the Sattva Summit, a small conscious gathering where yogis from around the globe come together to explore yogic wisdom and celebrate life.

This workshop was an introduction to and exploration of the wisdom of Mary Magdalene.

I am excited to share the recording of this offering on this podcast as a gift to anyone who didn't have the opportunity to join us live.

If you enjoy this episode, be sure to share it with someone who you feel will also enjoy it. Its also very supportive of this podcast to subscribe and leave a 5 star review so that others can find us.

Lastly, be sure to join me for a Yogic immersion this spring - March 27 - 30th at Moon Rising Retreat Center. Embodied Light: experience the wisdom of Mary Magdalene is an opportunity for us to gather together to dive deep into the teachings of Mary and discover the treasure within.

My beloved friend, Emilie Maynor, joins me on the podcast this month to talk about the often complex teacher/student relationship.

We explore this through the lens of my experience, particularly focusing on a year that brought great change and opportunity to practice and build self trust.

Some of the topics we explore:

• exploring kundalini
• following the whisper
• personal values
• intellect vs. intuition
• skeptical yet curious
• teacher as micro
• one of the greatest teachings I've received from my teacher
• exploring resistance
• being a student first, then teacher
• trusting the inner guru
• and more!

We are joined today by my beloved sister and dear friend, Gaia.

Gaia is a channel for the Divine Mother, an End of Life Doula, and a teacher of the world’s great wisdom traditions. 

She is called to support beings on their walk through life’s greatest challenges with the power of spirituality. 

In this conversation, we explore what grief is, navigating life’s micro and macro challenges/losses, rituals to support processing grief and the importance of community in grieving.
