Cycle Magic

In today's episode, I am sharing my reflections from my 3rd year taking an extended break from work over the winter season. I'm sharing why it is important to rest, capitalism vs. anti-capitalism, one of the books I read: Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, and how we can all dream of a world where resting and hibernation is a natural flow of life. Listen in if you are ready to imagine living a life of sustainability, abundance and reciprocity!

I also shared about how to live seasonally and about how not to culturally appropriate when connecting to these practices. Enjoy!

In today's episode, I am sharing a bit of an update and accountability for how I want to move forward in this space. I appreciate all of you that have listened so far and hope that I can show up here with more ease and flow in the days to come. I have decided to go back to the foundations of my work. I realize this is probably how I should have started the beginning of this podcast, but I'm here now and re-aligning to what feels best, setting the foundation so we have a grounded place to move from. Today's episode is on Menstruality and the initiatory journey we go through in our lives as cyclical beings. I'll be sharing with you the 4 initiations we go through and how to bring it all to your consciousness. 

In today's episode, I am sharing my experience of debilitating period pain and how I have reduced them drastically. I share how we can deal with period pain at work and talking with our employers and loved ones on how they can support us. I also share the two main types of period pain and what we can try and do to reduce the pain naturally or know when we need additional support from our health care providers. And much more. Listen in if you suffer from period pain, like me, and looking for support to find relief.

In today's episode, I am sharing my experience of the 6-week hibernation I took from Yule to Imbolc. Following the Earth's seasonal wisdom, I signed off of social media and laid low in my business to give myself time to rest and be renewed. In this episode, I'm sharing my reflections from that time, as well as, how it has been transitioning back into working full-time. How time shifted from urgent to expansive. How my mindset shifted from scarcity to abundance. How that time has resulted in practical changes in my daily life. And much more. Listen in if you are looking to implement more rest and spaciousness in your own life.

How you can support period poverty in the United States:

• Donate menstrual products to your local houseless shelter. Find one close to you here.
• If you are a part of a college community, see if there is a student group or faculty willing to fund free products on campus.
• Donate funds to #happyperiod who specifically support Black menstruators.

In today's episode, I am sharing what I have been learning about Celtic earth-based spirituality in the year long course I'm in with Sharon Blackie. I share a bit about my own ancestry and how embracing this earth-centric worldview has helped me decolonize my practices and connected me back into my body in the here + now. One of the main impacts for me has been learning how to take the archetypal energies of Celtic dieties + myths and plant them into the landscape where I find my feet today. At the end of the episode, I share some of the core features of the Celtic cosmology and how we can use them today to understand our present context.

In today's  episode, I am diving into the cycles of the Earth and it's seasons through the Wheel of the Year. As Samhain season is upon us (in the Northern Hemisphere), we'll be looking at the traditions from ancient Celtic Pagans and how those traditions can be carried through to modern day rituals. At this time of the year we are slowing down and letting go as we say good-bye to the Summer and embrace the darker months of winter ahead. Join me as we re-imagine what life would have been like at this time for our ancestors and ways we can honor them at this time of the thinning veil.
