A few months ago I had a vision — that too many of us are living lives we regret, and it leaves us with endless longing and confusion.
When I asked for the antidote, the response was profound — Live a beautiful life. That’s all. Live a beautiful life.

In this episode, I share my vision and offer reflections on why beauty is everything.

Tune in for support and inspiration to release regret and align your life with truth + beauty.
 
“True beauty awakens awe. 
True beauty awakens love. 
True beauty awakens hope and meaning and wisdom. 
True beauty awakens surrender.” — grace allerdice

Today, I explore one of my personal codes and symbols – the number three and the concept of the third.
Three is always inviting me to go deeper and unpack more and more of its layers. It pulls me into a wider and greater understanding.
Tune in to this episode to learn how the three or the third gives us a code for understanding humanity’s current chapter, as well as how we can become more skillful in what seem to be increasingly polarized situations or realities.


“The third is not just playing the game. The third is making the game. It's creating the story, the orientation point from which we experience life from a different vantage and then we can hold a new truth.” — grace allerdice

Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy.


“When we extract water, or reduce it to H2O, or categorize it as merely a utility and, ultimately, a commodity, we take the place out of water. And this influences how we perceive accountability and our sense of responsibility toward water and climate issues. I mean, climate issues are water issues. Water issues are climate issues.” — Aishath Huda
Aishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.

We’re joined by long-time stone medicine alchemist and healer, Sarah Thomas. Together we delve into the ancestral healing power of stones and crystals and how they can help us on the journey to the fulfillment of destiny.


“Crystals are like the bones of the earth. And if you follow their resonance, that is really deep medicine. So we use this for really deep things, really chronic things, things that have been going on for a long time, hidden things, really getting at the roots of disease and spiritual origins of disease.” — Sarah Thomas
Sarah, whose secret name is Star Wolf, is a healer, acupuncturist and educator who is immersed in the clinical and academic experience of ancient stone medicine and future crystal technologies. Sarah is the lead instructor at the Upper Clarity School and founded North Carolina's first mineral studies program. Sarah's Dao is to resurrect the vast and uncharted potential of healing and awakening with stones.

Together, we discuss how observing the cycles of our bodies and the natural world can foster a profound sense of belonging and connection with nature. Rebecca also introduces the concept of viewing the Earth as a sister rather than a mother, and she encourages us to explore the parallels between our experiences and the planet’s.

She’s continually learning and teaching others how to move through life at the pace of our bodies and our planet.

Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.
Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations’ connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.


“The longer I'm in astrology, the more I realize I don't have control. I can make my choices, and I can make the best choices available to me in that moment, and astrology can give me a really good window to understand what those choices are, but that doesn't guarantee specific results.” — Amaya Rourke
Amaya Rourke is an animist folk witch, astrologer, tarot reader, spirit worker, and folk herbalist. Her work guides others called to a wild witchcraft that straddles the seen and unseen worlds, traveling the moonlit and star studded crooked path of the bramble hedge. Rooted in historic folkways and updated for contemporary life, Amaya's praxis seeks to return to the interwoven cycles of the Moon, fixed stars, and living Earth. She has been a featured guest on many podcasts, a writer for limited edition grimoires, Moon planners, and astrology magazines; and is a seasoned workshop writer and facilitator.
