Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking

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. Learn more about it here.Ari's bio:Ari Felix aka the Dream Mami (papi if you nasty) specializes in crafting dreamworld language and worldbuilding frameworks that emanate from the heart. As a writer, astrologer, and worldbuilding coach, their mission is to empower mystics, artists, and creators to unlock their world-creating potential. Ari believes that one's clearest desires are prophecies capable of materializing, drawing inspiration from ancient Sun delineations.

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?

What is The Emergent No? How do we listen and tend to The Emergent No? How can astrology help us in the process of embracing the intense emotions that may come up from our Emergent No?I'm grateful to share a conversation with my dear friend, collaborator, and mentor Britten LaRue. In 2021, Britten began sharing a framework that she named 'The Emergent No.' In honor of eclipse season, where so many of us receive intense invitations from the cosmos to release things - some of which may feel like a relief and some bringing up a wave of grief - I want to invite Britten to share the wisdom she's grown from tending to the Emergent No's within herself and her clients.I felt this conversation deeply in my heart space. It feels like a transmission for the parts of us that grieve the things we know are no longer life-giving, but difficult to let go of, nonetheless. I hope our conversation serves as a lantern and a space for tending to your grieving parts.I invite you to also check out Britten's offerings, specifically:Transformation: Britten's 6 months 1:1 container.Cave Space: A 4-week offering across Scorpio season on attuning to the underworld. The next round begins on Monday, October 23, 2023.Living Astrology: Pre-order Britten's upcoming book on weaving the wisdom of all 12 signs into your everyday life. Release date: March 5, 2024.If you have enjoyed the podcast, I encourage you to check out my new offering. EYES ON THE EDGE is an 8-week exploration of Mars through energetic experiments, self-inquiry, and embodiment practices. We start the journey on October 24, 2023.

What is Radical Aliveness? How can we explore the principles of Radical Aliveness in the laboratory space of our lives? How might being in a group process help us with exploring our deep feelings?Being in conversation with my friend and teacher Madison Nees is always a profound experience for me. I'm excited for you to listen in and to explore this alive, glowing, curious space we co-created. My first conversation with Madison for Healing The Spirit (Ep. 22 Dancing in The Underworld) was recorded about a year ago, right before the first run of her offering, Katabasis: A Journey to Aliveness.This time, Madison and I met at the crossroads. I’m currently at the end of a yearlong journey with my offering, Astrology as Praxis, and Madison is about to re-enter the field of Katabasis for its second cohort.The principles of Radical Aliveness guided our conversation. The principles are: Cultivating a Non-Shaming Heart and AttitudeKnowing I Don’t KnowWelcoming Multiple PerspectivesBeing Willing to be ChangedSaying YES to EverythingIf you're curious about Madison's work, this event coming up on Sunday is great place to start: An Introduction to Radical Aliveness.Here's Madison's bio:Madison Nees is a human, counselor, artist, and guide. My practice focuses on the intersection of ecology, ritual and somatics. I have worked in the addiction and trauma treatment industry since 2015. My own journey includes healing from substance use, anorexia nervosa, loss of culture and self. When I began my journey, I did not understand that the pull to somatics was a call of my ancestors. I was being pulled to heal all the things my mother could not and ultimately lost her life avoiding. I was being pulled to feel the things my Grandmother had no language for.My body knew the language however, and it spoke in illness, pains, aches and rage. It also spoke the language of held grief and aloneness. During this process, I discovered gifts hidden beneath these repressed emotions. These gifts were the sensations. The gifts were the rivers of grief leading me home to myself. They were also the intuition and creativity of my lineage. I always tried to “do” something with the emotions but my healing progressed the more I simply sat with them. Instead of trying to push them away, I wondered what would happen if I let them grow. They grew into my practice today.You can sign up for Madison's newsletter on Madison's website, and follow Madison's work on Instagram @ritual_body. Check out Madison's exciting new six-month journey, Katabasis, which will begin on Sep 17, 2023. You can set up a call with Madison if you're curious here. Madison will also be hosting An Introduction to Radical Aliveness on Sunday, Aug 27, 2023.

What patterns, relationships, perspectives, and projects are we ready to release? How might we collaborate with the body to facilitate a process of releasing with ease and gentleness?

What does being in a body teach us about the nature of being in process? How might our lived experiences serve as connective tissues linking our artistic and spiritual practices?Recorded in November 2022 - towards the end of The Lovers year, where the lunar nodes were in the Scorpio-Taurus axis - my conversation with Rachel Blodgett continued to work its potent medicine through me. Rachel is a kindred spirit and an artist whose work I dearly admire. You may know her from her Serpent & Bow garments. As I'm thawing out of a period of hibernation from creating and sharing conversations, this one feels ripe to share. We discussed about the secret body (a term Rachel came up with during our conversation), holding space for the human process, creating art, and symbols. It's a fertile, rich conversation that keeps on giving. The conversation unfolded in magical, nonlinear time, and I feel deeply that the themes we covered here are more present now in the collective than ever. May this conversation serve as a catalyst and a reminder for you, too.Here's Rachel's bio:Established in 2012, Serpent & Bow is the full time ritual art practice of Rachel Blodgett.Working with natural materials and visual magic, Serpent & Bow explores transformative and liberatory embodiment through the creation, wear, and use of ritual artworks.Rachel Blodgett (she/her) is an artist and poetic spellcrafter from Santa Rosa, California.​She is devoted to the mystery of being human, and to courtship with artistic expression as a method of communicating with the universe.always in fluxFind Rachel on her website https://www.serpent-and-bow.com/Rachel's instagram is @serpentandbowSign 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.

What do the Sun and the Moon, Uranus, and Mars teach us about vision, nature, and capacity? How do we balance our visions for reality, our true nature, and our current capacity? How might contemplating our nature and taking inventory of our capacity assist us in bringing forth our visions with ease, clarity, and compassion?In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. Combining astrology, tarot, the Akashic & Cosmic Body perspectives, and guidance from my sacred ancestors, healing guides and my own spirit, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 08.14.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future. This week brings in the New Moon in Leo, which makes a square to Uranus in Taurus. In addition, Mars in Virgo will also make a trine to Uranus in Taurus. Some additional questions to contemplate for this episode: How are your visions serving your ability to tap into your true nature more easefully? How is understanding your true nature giving you access to more potent, more authentic visions for your life?How is your true nature nurtured by honoring your capacity, by being discerning about what you’re here to tackle at this moment & what you’re deciding to not give your attention to? Is there any connection between your capacity and your natural appetite? What happens if you gauge your capacity not from a mental place, but from allowing your body to move towards that which it has energy from, and allowing your body to be still when there’s no response?How might accessing expansive visions for yourself assist you in tuning into what you want to available for & what you don’t really care to tend to in this moment? How might cultivating discernment about what concerns you want to put energy into assist you in accessing these deep visions?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.

Where in our lives are we invited to consciously cultivate love when historically we haven’t received love or we never thought we needed love? What have you accepted as something you don’t need or or as something you don’t want, simply because you’ve never had it or simply because you’ve never seen examples of how desiring it work out well? What patterns of dismissing love (or even downright refusing love) can we patiently witness, illuminate & unravel as part of our devotion to Venus during this retrograde? Which parts of us have we allowed to stay in the dark because on a deeper level we don’t believe that this part deserves to be seen, to be held, to be tended to, and to be loved? In this offering, I'm sharing my personal notes and contemplations on the current Venus Retrograde in Leo. Venus is retrograde in Leo from July 22, 2023 to September 3, 2023. It's a potent time to bring awareness to our relationship to the Venusian and to bring Solar support to illuminate patterns that needed tending. I discuss the two distinct phases of this Venus retrograde and how to work with each. I mentioned a few resources: Pallas K.

How do we move towards self-congruency while staying in sacred reciprocity with others? How might our honesty, first and foremost to ourselves and then to others, be the foundation of all our relationships? How do we fan the flame of courage to go after our riskiest desires? Join me for a deep dive on the archetype of Aries-Libra nodal axis with my friend, Verena Borell, whose astrological insights always inspire, deepen, and electrify me. In this conversation, we discussed the qualities that the Aries-Libra nodal axis invite us to cultivate, expressing our truth away from fawn or fight responses, as well as investigating unspoken expectations and projections within our relational field. ______Here's Verena's bio:Verena Borell lives and works as an evolutionary astrologer and channel in Villach, Austria. To expand and deepen the wisdom school of evolutionary astrology by J.W. Green, Verena enriches it with other astrological branches, her own spirit guides and the akashic records.For Verena, evolutionary astrology and the akashic records are divine tools for de-conditioning, healing, re-wilding, and raising consciousness. Verena’s calling is to guide other soul’s on their healing and awakening journey so that they can let go of limiting chains and follow their true soul’s nature.

Where can our personal desires naturally and spontaneously be met with receptivity and grace by the social ecosystems of our lives?

How can we affirm and deepen the experience of our queerness through the lens of The Margin? How might practicing and studying mysticism expand our abilities to witness our own queerness?Join me for a conversation I recorded with my dear friend and queer sibling Nick Kepley. Throughout the month of June 2023, Nick is hosting a queer conference called Meet Me At The Margin. I invited Nick to discuss the reflections that have bubbled forth since they birthed and announced this conference. The resulting conversation felt alive and deeply thought-provoking for me. Join me and other incredible queer practitioners, artists, and thinkers for Meet Me At The Margin, a month-long virtual conference for queer people who want to reclaim and re-story their innate capacity for ambiguity, paradox, and liminality throughout June 2023.

Here's Nick's bio: Nick Kepley is a white, queer, non-binary Tarot anarchist who believes in the power of words and their complete inability to describe reality. Since 2011, Nick has been working as a Tarot facilitator, utilizing the cards as a reflective tool, and witnessing the conversations that take place between clients and their deeper knowing. In addition to this work, Nick is also the co-creator of the In Search of Tarot guided journal collection, the founder of The Searcher's Symposium for Tarot Education, and the host of the In Search of Tarot podcast. They are currently writing a book that imagines a new kind of mythopoetics for healing and reclaiming marginal identity.

What awareness, embodiment, and integration can Jupiter in Taurus initiate us into? How do we appreciate our bodies as our homes? How do we re-member that we are not only earth's children, but that we are, in fact, earth itself? Join me for a deep dive on the archetype of Jupiter in Taurus with my friend, Verena Borell, whose astrological insights always inspire, deepen, and electrify me. In this conversation, we discussed the virtues that Jupiter in Taurus invite us to cultivate, the idea of productivity and the myth of laziness, as well as deep rest as a portal to cultivating patience and presence. ______Here's Verena's bio:Verena Borell lives and works as an evolutionary astrologer and channel in Villach, Austria. To expand and deepen the wisdom school of evolutionary astrology by J.W. Green, Verena enriches it with other astrological branches, her own spirit guides and the akashic records.For Verena, evolutionary astrology and the akashic records are divine tools for de-conditioning, healing, re-wilding, and raising consciousness. Verena’s calling is to guide other soul’s on their healing and awakening journey so that they can let go of limiting chains and follow their true soul’s nature. Verena's upcoming course, Transits for Evolution will begin on November 14th. I encourage you to check out the course page to see if this offering resonates with you.

How can learning to relate to our inner child, inner critic, and inner adult assist us in living more fully in the present moment? Join me for this powerful, in-depth conversation with my dear friend, Natasha Levinger, on inner child healing. Natasha's book, Healing Your Inner Child: Re-Parenting Yourself for a More Secure & Loving Life, was recently published and it's easily one of my favorite books of the year. To celebrate the release of the book, I invited Natasha for a conversation where we discussed what inner child healing is, the resistance that can come up when we engage with our inner child, and how inviting our inner adult can greatly assist us in healing our inner child.In addition, Natasha and I also discussed timeline jumping and how inner child healing can help us on a collective level. CW: We briefly mentioned suicidal ideation in this episode.Here's Natasha's bio: Natasha Levinger is a therapeutic intuitive, inner child healing expert and the founder of Highest Light Healing. With a trauma-informed approach imbued with compassion and humor, she empowers self-healers to trust themselves and heal whatever is blocking that connection.
