Grounded Magic April and Sabrina

Robin Murphy—The Magic of the Crone 

 

What *exactly* do people mean by “the wisdom of the Crone”? In this episode, Priestess and teacher Robin Murphy shares some Crone wisdom from her cross-tradition course on practical magic. She explains how she chose the tools she decided to pass on to her students and tells us why she thinks they are so needed at this time---whether or not you identify as a witch.
Listen to hear more!

Robin has been an active spiritual seeker for over 40 years. Her ongoing journey includes offering support and guidance to others ready to explore their own inner and outer landscapes.

So exactly how much power does the “inner patriarchy” hold in your head?  You might be surprised! Manuela Powell helps you tackle all those fears of being too much, too loud, too aggressive, too ANYTHING. As an ex-cancer surgeon, she saw connections between the stress and anger her patients felt every day and the illnesses taking over their lives. Now she teaches women how to free themselves from the inside, outside of a doctor’s office.

Manuela is a life coach for 40+ women who are ready to start living their sparkliest, loudest, most outrageously real years of their lives. After finally getting the memo that she was queer at the tender age of 47, Manuela realized most women could use some help to come out of whichever BS closet they've been stuck in forever. So she took it upon herself to be their soul fluffer.

For almost 20 years, Manuel was a breast cancer surgeon, but after having her second child she decided she wanted to free
herself from endless work hours, toxic work environments, and unflattering scrubs, so she put away her scalpel to instead dissect women's minds and help them exorcise the “should”, “musts”, and “not good enough” from their brains forever, so they can be on the outside exactly who they are on the inside, to the horror of the patriarchy police.

Manuela is a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and after living in New York City, Washington D.C. and Hawaii, she currently calls Austin, Texas her home. As a single mama to her two sons, she dances every day, curses like a sailor who stubbed her toe, and doesn't give a single crap to people who think she should start behaving her age.

Indigenous Magic for Turbulent Times,
Part 2: Aligning Yourself Daily (With Christin Dennis)



In Part 2 of our discussion with Christin Dennis, he explains the core principles, rituals, and practices that help keep him aligned with the Creator. He shows us how he lives his day-to-day life, conversing with Spirit, praying in unexpected ways, and meeting his challenges with courage. You’ll relish his surprising stories, and the universal wisdom he offers for living better every day.

Christin Dennis is a member of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Southern Ontario, Canada. His traditional name is Gzhiiaqwat (She u quot), which translates to Fast-Moving Cloud. He is an artist and a musician. He is also a survivor of the Sixties Scoop, in which indigenous children were forcefully taken away from their families and communities and adopted into predominantly Christian, Caucasian homes.

Christin’s art reflects on the current era in Indigenous culture, focusing on the sweat lodge and carrying the traditions of old into the contemporary world. He tells the stories of indigenous heritage and the importance of preserving traditional values.

For Christin, art is a means of expressing his passionate interconnection with "the spirit of all that exists." A spiritual healer as well as an artist, he stresses the importance of traditional teachings and spiritual growth. As such, he has facilitated sweat lodges for many years. Christin emphasizes that awareness of self and one's place in the world is important for members of both Native and non-Native cultures. Perhaps paradoxically, he uses cutting edge technology to make a statement about the distinctive place of ancient Indigenous cultures in a complex, contemporary, multicultural world.

By understanding and embracing the teachings of the ancestral past, Christin seeks to preserve a way of life, document its core value, and help build a vision for our future.

April & Sabrina---Celebrating the Magic of Love

April and Sabrina celebrate the transformative power of love! April tells us how she and her fiancé took a weekend away to create personalized wedding vows, explaining how this strengthened their commitment and supercharged their partnership. Sabrina recounts the story of her unexpected brush with love’s healing power---an experience that shook her life.
 

April lives to empower women and has been doing so for over two decades. As a midwife, she has empowered women through one of the biggest transformations of their lives: their transition to motherhood. She is also an experienced coach and large group facilitator who inspires her community. April is committed to a continuous process of leveling up and has built her entire life around this principle. Additionally, she has studied and embraced the magical side of her sexuality for over 20 years, and is now combining all of her talents into the Sacred Sisterhood of Sexuality, an online community of self-identified women who
witness and encourage each other to embrace their authentic sexual selves.

Sabrina is a tarot Diviner, teacher, writer, speaker, and coach. She’s an Elder in the Blue Star Tradition of Wicca, a Buddhist, and a graduate of the Gryphon’s Grove School of Shamanism. She is also a medical anthropologist who worked with Latinas living with HIV. Her biggest life lessons were learned from the resilient women who partnered with her during her dissertation research, teaching her how to thrive. Sabrina went on to direct an interdisciplinary Ph.D program at the Rutgers School of Nursing, where she trained scholars to combat racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care. Now, she combines her spiritual and social science backgrounds in all of her work.
