    Victoria Bennett, Wild Woman, Poet and Author of All My Wild Mothers

    In this episode, we are simply delighted to be with our beloved bliss sister and dear friend, Victoria Bennett (Vik) who is a poet, author, creative activist, and Wild Woman.  When not juggling writing, full-time care, and genetic illness, she can be found where the wild weeds grow…within ALL MY WILD MOTHERS:  her debut memoir of motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden. Hear the mystic tale of a poet in northern England awakened by Troubadours in the middle of the night.We dance on tables... and answer the call to free the wild woman in us.We find when we are our authentic selves in the world, we can create anything and that’s when the magic starts!Find the small thing worth the gift of your hope. And what is courage but hope mixed with love.We plant a herb garden and get more than blooms. We are given myths, healing and wise companions on our journey.We see what can grow in the broken ground of grief and find that life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them.Some seeds require disturbance in order to grow. If we try to cut out the things that hurt and that are difficult, then we also cut out all the joy.When we garden wild, we are celebrating a connection, a companionship, an honoring of our place in a vital biodiverse environment.We blow the dandelion with its seeds of wishes out into the world!LIFE arrives, reaching for the light, bathing in tears, reckless and determined to grow wild and lush over what was once barren stone.Her writing spans non-fiction, memoir, poetry and games-based storytelling. It was long listed for the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize (2019), and the Penguin WriteNow (2020) programme, and was a winner of a Northern Debut Award (2020) for non-fiction from New Writing North, and an early extract won the Mother’s Milk Writing Award 2017. Vik founded Wild Women Press in 1999 to support rural women writers in her community and curates the global Wild Woman Web project, an inclusive online space focusing on nature, connection, and creativity.  Vik shares, “…stone by stone, seed by seed, life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them…” Join us as we look forward to a story of radical hope, to reclaiming our wild spaces and letting the light into those broken places as we transform the rubble into a garden with her!

She carries a unique window into the world by having had the honor of being an intimate part of thousands of people’s healing journeys and through her own personal work as a trauma survivor who has found resiliency and peace. Nicole says, “When it really comes down to what actually brings about true contentment and makes a meaningful difference in both our personal and shared world, the only real power a person has is the power to bring clarity, insight and healing to their inner world. By doing so, they bring about a sense of peace with what is within themselves and are able to allow the love they find themselves to be at their core, to overflow and help shape the outer world. That is the kind of power that allows us to know and connect with ourselves so deeply that we can then find a way to use our unique makeup and gifts to honor ourselves and the collective. It’s a power that not only enhances our personal sense of well being, but allows us to leave this planet a little bit more kind, evolved, loving, peaceful or beautiful than it was before our time here.” Personal Website www.bridgemindbody.com Social Media link www.facebook.com/bridgemindbody Social Media link www.instagram.com/edensidesanctuary/ Authentic Empowerment Workshop, April 12th Learn More: https://bridgemindbody.com/current-events/ Support the show BECOME A MEMBER https://ko-fi.com/caravanoftheheart/tiers Your monthly support helps further this outreach and keeps this Caravan moving to amplify love in all things!

    Humanity’s Epic Awakening A Mystical Odyssey Beyond Belief with Mary Reed

    In this episode, our hearts are rejoicing and reverent to be in the enlightening and awakening presence of mystic wisdom teacher and guide, Mary Reed, who is ushering in the Way of Love, the Truth of Love, and the Luminous Light of Love. We welcome her back to Caravan of the Heart to celebrate and cherish the release of her new book and big, beautiful, inspiring love letter, Humanity’s Epic Awakening A Mystical Odyssey Beyond Belief. We become fully aware of the light of the divine here through us and as us. We make our Love visible. No scripture or sermon is necessary to live according to love...every heart knows the way.We ask, If love is all we need - then why hasn't there ever been enough love to make our suffering go away? We find out the answer.Expand to hold the wisdom that the origin of our pain is our belief that we are separate from everything, separate from love.See how when we reject what we label “bad” we are stuck in a cycle of pain- what we resist...persists. Invite whatever comes into my awareness...I will love unconditionally as an equal part of all that I am. "There is a great love coming....like a great tidal wave...like the force of a thousand winds...it is unstoppable... and you should welcome it when it comes!"We look forward to Mary helping us remember that how we are in each moment IS our contribution to the collective. She offers to us… “You see how powerful you are? Throughout the cosmos you are being celebrated!” We celebrate HER and all of her contributions in service to Divine Love!Mary was a staunchly agnostic healthcare executive living in Washington, DC when she began venturing uncontrollably into mystical experiences in the company of Jesus, Buddha and angels.  She finally surrendered her “normal” life and spent several years in a tiny nunnery in the Himalayas coming to terms with her unexpected abilities. Her profound experiences are both a road map and an invitation into the Divine wisdom we all hold within.  Mary’s work is a palpable transmission of Divine Love as evidenced in her three books — Unwitting Mystic Evolution of the Message of Love, Divine New Being A Sublime Guided Passage to the End of Hell, and Humanity’s Epic Awakening A Mystical Odyssey Beyond Belief. Mary says, “However we are reacting to others is our contribution to others. However we are reacting to the world is our contribution to the world. What is it YOU want to contribute?” Personal Website: https://www.lovemaryreed.com/ ENJOY Mary's 1st episode on Caravan of the Heart here:   https://www.caravanoftheheart.com/podcast-episodes/episode/4e04eec0/mary-reed-mystic-wisdom-guideteacher Support Caravan of the Heart Support the show BECOME A MEMBER https://ko-fi.com/caravanoftheheart/tiers Your monthly support helps further this outreach and keeps this Caravan moving to amplify love in all things!

    It's Impossible There's Anything but Love with Renee Ananda

    (Our laptop completely failed.  We offer to you an inspirational talk by Renee given at a Unity service a few years ago.  We are in the process of getting things replaced and should have a new guest episode next week.  In the meantime, here’s an invitation to love…) In this episode, you are invited to consider that it is impossible that there is anything but love!   Why not explore this?  We encourage you to activate your spiritual GPS to find out where you are (love) and where you are destined (love)…all paths meet at the crossroads of love. Marianne Williamson says, “Until we see love as the meaning of life, life seems to have no meaning at all. The sense of meaninglessness produces chaos, and the chaos produces fear. There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.” ”There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.” ...find out what "this" is...  If we don’t choose love – what are we choosing instead?We cannot be in the world of connection and the world of estrangement at the same time…when we are feeling joy, we cannot feel fear; when we are feeling tranquil we cannot feel resentful; when we are feeling love we cannot feel critical…We can choose our destination but we need to know exactly where we are and where we wish to go.Love is the only way and when it feels like it is not love it is only just a lack of love.The perfect you is accessed through the love within you.  Choose love over fear and find your shine!Free your heart from hatred.Free your mind from worries.Live Simply.Give More.Expect Goodness.DECIDE to love it!  That’s the way of love!Remember, YOU are love and YOU are loved! Let's Connect!  Schedule your personal or couples retreat and let us nurture you and your love! https://www.wayoftheheartwoods.org/soul-guidance-sessions Podcast Website:  caravanoftheheart.com Music Website: troubadoursofdivinebliss.com Social Media Link: https://www.facebook.com/Troubadours-of-Divine-Bliss-70820080497/ Social Media Link: https://www.youtube.com/divinebliss Social Media Link: https://www.instagram.com/troubadoursofdivinebliss/ Dr Martin Luther King Jr once said, "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love.
