How do mystical systems and spiritual philosophies help us understand our subconscious better? How do we reconcile the apparent tensions between different systems? How might art serve to bridge the divide?Over the past few years, I've admired the work of Brynja Magnusson as well as her ability to seamlessly weave her artistic and spiritual practices. Her guidebooks and card decks have been trusted guides in my own study of Human Design, Animal Totems, the I-Ching, and Yin Mysticism. Early on in my Human Design journey, Brynja also gave me a reading that felt like a turning point and gently ignited a flame of curiosity to explore the system more deeply.In this conversation, we explored the connections and distinctions between various spiritual systems, the role of encouragement in nurturing our subconscious, moving away from dogmatic ways of approaching mystical systems, and sharing knowledge while learning.Here's Brynja's bio:Brynja is a student of spiritual philosophy. While apprenticing in topics of shamanism, ritual, human energetics, and nature-based spirituality she creates functional illustrated guidebooks based on her notes of the material she studies. Brynja works with mediums of art, writing, and personal sessions to, directly and indirectly, provide the subconscious and spirit with alternative tools. Brynja is the creator of Ceremoniance, an art-based company that shares her studies via art, design, and description. Brynja creates beautifully illustrated guidebooks and card decks on topics of Human Design, the I Ching, Animal Totems, Yin Mysticism, and soon the tarot and recovery work. By giving an artistic platform to obscured wisdom, we can maintain and promote the transformative practices cultivated by humans over thousands of years.Brynja's offerings (including her decks and sessions) can be found through her website Ceremoniance. You can also find her on Instagram.Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

How do we honor our intuitive guidance, especially when it seems to lead us down a meandering path?Sometimes, our intuition leads us into surprising, narrow alleyways we never expected.

How does living our design facilitate effortless energetic shifts? What roles do guilt and forgiveness play in expanding our awareness? How might Human Design assist us with embracing our divine humanity? In this conversation with Joanne Chen, we explored the profound relationships between law of attraction and the Human Design experiment. We also discussed Joanne's experience cultivating her work and communicating her perspectives as a splenic projector, how her training as a classical pianist became the fertile soil that nourished her practice as an energetic coach, and how words are imperfect translations of our vibrational experiences.

Her epic transformative journeys inspire me deeply and her perspectives continue to surprise, challenge, and expand me.

What is the projection field and how might we cultivate a relationship with it?Join Kelsey Rose Tortorice and me for a deep dive where we share field notes from our Human Design experimentation – as well as the first Human Design-focused episode on the podcast.Our conversation revolved around the idea of 'no choice,' the 5th line path of working with the projection field, the uniqueness of the manifestor aura and experience, as well as the role of Human Design and astrology in understanding the maia.

What wisdom can the fixed signs teach us about money? How might Pluto assist us in building a life that feels abundant and magical in equal measures?

What is intuition? How might we account for the myriad ways our intuitive faculties speak to us? How and why do we develop a trustworthy relationship to intuitive experience?Join me for a deep and lively conversation exploring the topic of intuition with my guest Emily Sadowski, PhD, the author of What is Intuition? While intuition is a familiar and frequently-used concept within the spiritual communities, a majority of the conversations I've seen have revolved around the 'how.' To me, Emily's work is unique because she also explores the 'what' and the 'why' of intuition with rigor, nuance, and a warm, open curiosity.We also explored topics like how she became interested in learning more about intuition, how getting curious about our intuition can lead us deeper into inquiries about consciousness, and how to integrate intuition into our daily personal & communal existence.Here's Emily's bio: Emily Sadowski, PhD writes, teaches, and coaches smart, sensitive leaders in cultivating their self-awareness and self-compassion so they can connect with their inner genius and trust their inner knowing.Join Emily's upcoming course TRUST, an Intuition Development Immersion, starting March 23, 2024.Emily also offers 1:1 coaching and monthly integration circles.

In the brokenness of our times, how might questioning our performance of love tickle pathways for new worlds to open? What fresh forms of connections can blossom when we collapse the hierarchy of loving into a mycelial network of loving? How might the steady cultivation of our individuated lexicon of love strengthen communal bonds?This is a devotional episode dedicated to the Empress of the Solar System, Beloved Venus, through the lens of their journey in Aquarius. To celebrate the last week of Venus's current transit in Aquarius (ps we have not one but TWO trips of Venus moving through Aquarius), I'm recording a contemplation of Venus's journey through the land of fixed air. Join me for my guest workshop inspired by Venus in Aquarius, VISIONARY OF LOVE, hosted by the incredible Kelsey Rose Tortorice. Read more about it here. The workshop is on Friday, March 8, 2024 at 4-6 PM EST / 1-3 PM PST. If you can't make it live, replay will be available! In this contemplation, I discussed the idea of harmonizing everyday personal acts of love with the Field of Love, war as a product of distorted love, rooting beauty standards in the vulnerability of True Love, and Love as the bedfellow of Mystery.

How do we understand relationality through our unique experiences? How might practicing astrology assist us in the art of living in deeper acknowledgement of relationality and reciprocity? In this conversation with my friend Odette Blooms, who is an astrologer, an artist, and a mystic, we explored the theme of relationality as reflected through our lived experiences, as well as how Odette and I embody that experiential concept within our astrological & artistic practice. We discussed what it means to practice astrology as an art of connecting with spirit, of healing, and of remembering to give and receive love. We also spoke about the connection between relationality and reciprocity, as well as how these concepts make sense to us as immigrants who live at the intersections of collectivistic and individualistic cultures. It's a true conversation between two friends - a melding of two Mercurial, rhizomatic minds and two Venusian hearts. It moves at such a sweet, flowing, leisurely pace. To me, this is the tempo and the energy that Odette radiates out from their being: a gift of softening the edges of time through her presence. Here's Odette's bio:Odette (she/they) is an astrologer, artist and mystic devoted to beauty and creativity as a path towards deeper embodiment. As a student of the Earth, everything she does comes back to how we can re-member the inherent truth of unconditional love within ourselves, with other beings and with the precious land we live on. Being a first-generation immigrant from Mexico and raised by a single mother, Odette’s life has been anything but normal. As a child of Saturn, she has always been interested in disrupting the status quo and queering up everything she touches. Currently, her offerings include natal chart readings, and soon a women’s monthly circle that offers space to witness one another through the mercurial magic of story-telling.

We live in BEAUTIFUL coastal California and feel so lucky to be here.I come from a big, international family. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and grew up in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kenya, and northern Virginia. I received my Masters in Social Work from Smith College in Massachusetts in 2001. I then worked as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and body worker for most of the past twenty years. I specialized in prevention, treatment, and investigation of child abuse, attachment, and trauma.In 2018, the spirit world made it very clear that it was time for me to move on from that very important work to the calling of my soul – assisting people to navigate the beautiful and often challenging experience of awakening to their ultimate, cosmic selves and souls.For many years, since I was 21 years old, I have had an ability to see many things beyond the physical world – spirits of all kinds, past lives, the structure of people’s bodies and cells, and so on.In the work I do now, I bridge both the Earthly world and that of the spiritual and cosmic worlds to support us in coming into our personal and collective relationship with the spirit world and our own ways of living as conscious beings of both the Earth and the divine.I feel strongly that the world needs our wisdom, not only of our minds, but of our whole beings - our minds, hearts, bodies, spirits, and selves as beings of the Earth, cosmos, and infinity.I love this work that I do now and am honored and full of joy holding space for others to recognize their own beautiful, literally divine selves and to live the full life they are here to live.You can find Martha’s offerings on her website. She’s available for 1:1 sessions and has a beautiful membership community which hosts monthly gatherings.Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

How might creating more space in our lives heal our relationship with structures and with dreams? What do our unconscious patterns teach us about bridging our visions and our realities?Recorded for the week of 01.15.24, I contemplate the role of creating space to notice our patterns in the context of larger textural shifts in the astrology, namely to Pluto's shift into Aquarius on 01.20.2024.

How might we easefully and joyfully build our dreamworld? What do the planetary ancestors teach us about worldbuilding? What does being at the center of our experience have to do with worldbuilding?What a joy to weave this psychedelic conversation with Ari Felix aka. The Dream Mami. Ari's work has profoundly inspired me, deepened my relationship to my creator self, and shifted my orientation this past year. We discussed Ari's worldbuilding journey as well as the connection between astrology, the planetary game, and worldbuilding. We also talked about what it means to facilitate inner enthusiasm for worldbuilders, examples of worldbuilders in pop culture, and transforming fears of being selfish. May this conversation nourish and support our inner dreamers. The next cohort of Worldbuilding School begins January 20th, 2024.

What does it mean to cultivate an Akashic practice? How might an Akashic practice help us listen better to our selves, to others, and to the seen and unseen world? What does it mean to lead from a place of deep listening?My guest, Helen Vonderheide, and I fell into what felt like a timeless void in this conversation.For a while, I've been inspired by the ways that Helen holds space for her communities. In her work, Helen exemplifies what it means to trust in the magic of space and spaciousness. That if we learn to listen with sincerity and openness, we are not merely led to answers, but towards an abundant flow of creativity.In this conversation, we explored the connection between our bodies, our omnidimensional selves, and the living systems that we belong to. We also discussed Helen's work with Pathways of The Heart and traversing beyond the realm of the Akashic Records.Helen's bio:Helen Vonderheide is a community educator whose teachings invite the expression and embodiment of interconnectedness, relationality, and reciprocity through the lens of the Akashic Records, Decoloniality, and Empirical Evidence.

What if we always belong? What if our belonging was something we never had to prove, to strive for, or to buy our way into? What might shift if we presuppose inherent goodness and if we get curious about unmet needs? To me, Leah Garza embodies what it means to be a devoted student of big questions. Working with Leah in the past couple years has helped me open doors to parts of self I didn't know exist and question the fabric of 'reality' as I was taught. In this conversation, we discussed her approach to teaching as a way of creating communities that foster intellectual intimacy, the connection between her decolonial and esoteric studies, and, most importantly, why Leah Garza does not exist. Leah's bio:Leah Garza is a student, teacher, and mystic based out of Los Angeles. She is the creator behind Crystals of Altamira and Living Systems. Currently she is writing her dissertation on topics in depth psychology, decoloniality and ontology. Her work, whether academic or spiritual, is focused on dissolving the illusion of fixed individualism, and reimagining relationality and belonging for all beings.Links:Read more about Living Systems.Apply for Living Systems 2024 here.

What is the medicine of money? How can we engage with all the stories, sensations, and emotions that money bring up? How might we relate to money from a place of authenticity, rather than avoiding through transcendence or contracting into resistance?My guest Pilar Lesko is a wise, skilled practitioner whose teachings on money have felt regenerative and grounding to my system. Pilar approaches money work with the reverence, nuance, maturity, and skill that it deserves, yet so rarely receives - which, to me, makes her work a rare gem.In this conversation, Pilar and I discussed some narratives around money, namely that: Money is antithetical to natureMoney is the root of all evilMoney is just a loving neutral energyThe Universe is abundant and so are youScarcity prevents you from being richSurely, we've encountered one of these money teachings, if not all of them. What might we learn by engaging with these stories from a subtle energy perspective?
