    164. Invoke the Gods of Your Ancestors

    We continue our journey of learning from the Ocean directly, and in this episode I share what I heard from the Sea when I went to ask for a message for this community. What I heard surprised me, and also felt very true in my being - that in order for us to heal the wound of Empire, we must call upon ancient powers that are of the Earth and of our own heritage.

    163. Yes, You Can

    You are the only one who can give birth to the gifts and dreams that live within you. All people have the capacity to birth the new, but it can be a lonely endeavor. In this episode, I share a message I received from the Ocean on the precipice of a great birth in my own life, in the hopes that it gives you the courage you need.

    162. All Water is a Womb

    In this season of the show, the life-giving force of Water and the Ocean will be our teachers. Today we start with an essential truth: that all Water is a womb. Womb-time is necessary for any new beginning–biological, vocational, or spiritual– and in this episode we talk about how to gestate the dreams we carry for the year ahead.

    160. The Hard Work of Blood Month

    Whether it's letting things go like leaves falling from a tree or taking a sharp knife and making a kill, Autumn asks each of us to dance with Death. Among long-ago Anglo Saxons, November was called "Blood Month" or "Month of Sacrifice." In this episode, we explore different strategies for surrendering and/or slaughtering that which we cannot take into the Winter.
