After the popularity of our first pod episode together, where we talked about the cycles of the moon and how they represent our own cycles of ebbing and flowing, I've been wanting to get Sam (@mumma_andthemoon) back onto the show for a while now so that we can dive even deeper into all things cyclical and seasonal. 

In this episode, we talk about how we can honour the shifting of the seasons, literally and figuratively;

• From the energetic peak of Summer where we reap the harvest of the seeds we've sown, to the death and decay that is to come as we shift into the cooler and more yin seasons. Then, after the darkness comes the light and abundance of the Spring to start the cycle anew
• Sam introduces us to the Sabbats - Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain -the ancient cross quarter festivals that celebrate the shifts on the wheel of the year
• We also learn about the triple goddesses; maiden, mother and crone, as well as the more recent addition 'Maga' and how these archetypes relate to our shifts from girl to woman to wise woman. 
• The thread that weaves this episode together is our shared passion for honouring all that is seasonal and cyclical, internally and externally, and the drive to REmind other women that it's ok to ebb and flow, just like the seasons! 

At the end of the episode, Sam shares her upcoming 6-part program 'Orient to the Feminine' which will be run in-person in Barcelona across September and October. For more info, feel free to reach out and I'll happily share her details, or contact her via instagram.
