    This edition of The Now Age podcast features a conversation about sex and self-worth, and is a sample of a new, magazine format show, that will be available to Numinous subscribers going forward. Ruby gives an overview of Scorpio themes of energetic investments, vulnerability, and intimacy, sharing how she became disconnected from her own sense of soul-worth as a result of a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship—as so many of us experience. She is then joined by intuition coach Betsy LeFae and astrologer Bess Matassa, who open up the conversation to discuss how we can connect with the message of Scorpio-Taurus axis to reclaim our bodies and our wholeness.

    Decolonizing Wellness with Eryn Wise of Seeding Sovereignty

    The last in the current series, published July 4 2019, this is an incredibly fitting episode to end on. It features an in-depth interview with Janet MacGillivray and Eryn Wise of Seeding Sovereignty, an organization that rose out of the encampments at Standing Rock with a mission to amplify the voices and the stories of indigenous American youth. Janet, and environmental lawyer formerly affiliated with the EPA, begins by sharing the origin story of Seeding Sovereignty, and why this was a call to find truly impactful and sustainable ways to do her work in the world. We then move into a wide-ranging conversation about the true meaning of healing, looking at how modern wellness communities and practices are often doing more harm than good—and how to address this. In this episode Eryn and Ruby also discuss: Why it is time to work in partnership with indigenous peoples to tackle environmental issues What it means to be a spiritual activist The power of storytelling and deep listening as tools for healing Why decolonization begins with the individual—and means acknowledging the atrocities of the past How to engage respectfully with indigenous healing traditions How social media feeds narcissistic thinking that says some people are better than others Ways listeners can support the work of Seeding Sovereignty Discover more about Seeding Sovereignty and their work HERE and follow them on Instagram @seedingsovereignty

    Bringing Diversity to Astrology with Adama Sesay

    When Adama Sesay of Lilith Astrology reached out about contributing to The Numinous, she also posed a question: why is mainstream astrology so white? Meaning, why do the biggest media outlets feature so few readers of color? Which is a really good and important question! Our ensuing conversation about this led to this post on the site—and formed the basis for the discussion in this episode. Adama shares her own story of building her practice as a black woman, as well as the positive implications and healing opportunity in bringing more diversity to the modern astrology space. In this episode we also discuss: -Astrology as a tool of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth -Gender fluidity in the astrological archetypes -The importance of diversity in the spiritual wellness space in general -The role of the Pluto in Scorpio generation (born Nov 1983—Nov 1995) in transforming outdated paradigms -The Lilith archetype, and why it is so relevant in the post #metoo era Discover more about Adama and her work and book a reading HERE and follow her on Instagram @lilithastrology

  5. Healing From Separation & Hate with Aaron Rose

    Healing From Separation & Hate with Aaron Rose

    This episode features an interview with diversity & inclusion expert Aaron Rose and gets deep into the weeds of our collective healing process around divisiveness and hate – the root of which, Aaron argues, lies in the of pain of separation and resulting fear of “otherness.” Something of a “millennial Marianne Williamson,” Aaron’s work focusses largely on explaining how this pain / fear manifests in our reality as political scaremongering, media stereotyping, institutionalized racism, and exploitative capitalism - and that, in seeking to address any of the above, we must first look at how these systems have taken hold and become embedded within ourselves. In this episode, Aaron and Ruby also discuss (among other extremely important topics!): -Aaron’s own journey as a queer person healing from the conditioning of the Catholic Church -Identity and embodiment through the lens of quantum physics -Why amends-making is an essential part of our collective healing, and how to do it -Why we are the “generational clean-up crew” tasked with undoing the wrongs of our ancestors -Why in the Now Age it is vital that we bring our spirituality to our politics -How to use your voice for the highest good of all Discover more about Aaron and his work HERE and follow him on Instagram @aaronxrose

  6. Burnout, Mental Health, and Social Change with Samantha Moyo

    Burnout, Mental Health, and Social Change with Samantha Moyo

    In May 2019 (perfectly timed for Gemini season!) "burnout" was officially recognized as a syndrome by the World Health Organization—and in this episode Ruby talks to entrepreneur and activist Samantha Moyo about the high risk of burnout among social entrepreneurs. When a passion project comes with an added layer of social responsibility, taking any time out can feel like it's not an option. As well as the "buck-stops-with-me" mentality and personal attachment that comes with running your own business, time off can lead to feelings of guilt and a sense of "letting others down"—leading to burnout, or even breakdown. In this VERY IMPORTANT EPISODE, Ruby and Samantha also discuss: -Samantha's own breakdown after exiting her last company—and how she recovered -The inner and outer instability that comes with "being the change" -Why slowing down and doing less is modeling a necessary societal shift -Samatha's work with leading climate change initiative, Extinction Rebellion -Self-care tips for social entrepreneurs and activists Discover more about Samantha HERE, follow her on Instagram, and learn about the work she does with social entrepreneurs at Tamuka.co

    Honoring Indigenous Wisdom with Vivien Vilela

    This week's episode features a conversation with Brazilian healer, philanthropist and activist Vivien Vilela, who is also the co-founder of the annual Aniwa Gathering of indigenous elders (June 5—9 2019). Having confronted her own demons with a deep immersion into ancient shamanic practices, Vivien shares how this led to her dedicating her life to her spiritual studies, and to the preservation of indigenous culture and wisdom. We have so much to learn from these cultures, whose people have been subjected to unforgivable exploitation in the name of Western capitalist gains—and while we have so much to learn from them, it is vital that we engage respectfully with their teachings and traditions. Vivien shares her views on this, as well as offering a profoundly hopeful vision for a world in which indigenous Earth magic is embraced as a balm for environmental dis-ease. In this episode Vivien and Ruby also discuss: -How we can merge ancient wisdom with modern technology to benefit everyone -Vivien's experiences + learnings from a 28-day shamanic vision quest -Why our fear of nature is at the root of the harm being done to the natural world -Why indigenous elders are the personification and the voice of nature -Tools, rituals, and practices for helping to heal the Earth we can implement in our lives every day The 2019 Aniwa Gathering takes place June 5—9 AT Camp Timber Trails, MA.
