Welcome to the full pink moon in scorpio meditation. Scorpio is an intuitive and instinctive sign that dives into the emotions in order to create action. We can use this as a reminder to check in with our instincts and our emotional landscape to then decipher our desires and take action. This pink moon will feel gentle compared to all the cosmic commotion of the past two weeks, use this lovely pink moon to connect to your spirituality, we use moons as markers in time to remind us of the magic around us. For this pink moon meditation we will be travelling to a lovely beach bungalow in palm beach Florida.

Happy Spring! I wanted to do a fun solo episode on how I am planning my wedding in just 4 months. Since I have been totally immersed in the planning process and in a daze of all things wedding, I thought it would be fun to share my process and also the tips and tricks I have learned - to inspire others that you may not need that long to plan your dream wedding after all! In this episode I chat about the significance of the day we chose and how it perfectly aligned for us without even knowing at first, the meaning behind the June full moon and it's connection to weddings, my non-negotiable when it comes to quick wedding planning, the aesthetic and perfect location for the wedding, the dress finding process, elements of a wedding that aren't as essential, why a wedding stylist is crucial, my design tricks from years being in the industry and so much more! I hope you enjoy this chat and I will be sure to give more updates closer to the date...which is soon hehe
The next full moon meditation will be available on March 24th.

Welcome to the new moon in pisces meditation. Pisces' new moon is all about dreamy, imaginative, mysterious beauty. This is the dream moon as pisces rules our inner dreamland. For this super moon and the last new moon before we enter into the spring equinox we are going big on our desires, using our imagination to cultivate the dreams we have and really feel into them. Where attention goes, energy flows, when we decide on our dreams we can take action through our specific attention. Let's connect to our wildest dreams in this meditation by traveling to a gorgeous estate in the south of France - Marie Antoinette style - opulence, dreamy garden days in a french chateau.

Welcome to the full snow moon in virgo meditation. Virgo teaches us that we are here to give our unique talents in some way. On this snowy full moon in winter we can set intentions for our talents to be seen and our dreams to be realized. For this wintery full moon meditation we will be setting our intentions at a historic log cabin in Wyoming with the backdrop of the mountains. On a gorgeous sunny winter day we will be creating our desire list while going on a horse trail ride on a ranch.

Today's guest is my dearest friend and most frequent guest on the Topanga Moon podcast! Aneta Sofronova is the founder and creator of the sustainable clothing brand Nusha, a brand rooted in earth-conscious production and clothing made from natural fibres and dyes that are healthy for you and the planet. I am thrilled to have her on the podcast to dive into her mission behind her clothing brand, the design evolution of her brand and how that is connected to her heritage, the history of the hemp fibre industry, today's oversaturation of toxic clothing, her love of using and cultivating plant dyes and so much more!
We dive into:
The evolution of Aneta’s brand Nusha, the meaning behind her brand name. Her deep connection to plants, growing them and how that was infused into the original name of her brand Immortelle  - meaning everlasting, growing in the Mediterranean. Design that can withstand the test of time. Using her nickname Nusha for the new name, it connects her to her roots and younger self - sweet sentimental and from her heritage. How hemp is meaningful for the region that she is from and important for her brand. Hemp is unlike any other plant and has so many end uses.How Aneta’s grandmother use to grow hemp in her village, and using hemp for so many things. Taking it down to the river for the retting process, breaking down the stocks to reveal the fibre. Uncovering the history of how we create goods and what fabrics we use and why. Hemp is one of the oldest textiles known to man. Even the word canvas, which is a type of woven fabric, the origin of canvas comes from cannabis. How hemp was used in the military, used in the ships that came over to America, even Henry ford was experimenting with hemp. There were two big industries that saw hemp as a big threat: the cotton industry which was popular in America, and the oil industry - which saw it as a huge threat because you could make biofuels and bio plastic from hemp. How it became illegal to grow hemp in North America. We discuss the toxins in our clothing and the fashion industry. Wearing petroleum products on our bodies.The creation of a campaign to demonize the hemp industry and thus making both marijuana and hemp illegal. We also discuss Aneta’s love of plant dyes, the intricate process and how using plant dyes beautifully connects her fashion to nature.Naturally dying fabric consists of many different steps - harder and more expensive but has been used for so long. The more we step away from what is harder to create the less we respect the garment. Aneta shares her favourite natural dyes and the different processes. We also discuss the energetic properties of natural colours, the significance of using certain colours like slate blue for porches, and the frequency of natural fibres.
