Kat has openings! Book a Session. MEETING YOURSELF IN EVERY SEASON SEPTEMBER - HARVEST AND GRATITUDE Early autumn is a time of gathering. Seeds are released. What has grown is acknowledged and received. Harvest carries spiritual responsibility. It asks us to notice what has come to fruition and to receive it fully. In this session, we will reflect on gratitude as a spiritual practice, not as positivity, but as reverent attention. What has this year cultivated in you? What gifts are ready to be named and perhaps shared? Through reflection and embodied awareness, we will explore how gratitude anchors us in sufficiency rather than scarcity.

    Notes from The Host

    Hello friends! KAT BUCCIANTINI here, host of The Spacious Unknown. Life is moving fast right now (quite literally, I’m currently surrounded by packing boxes!), so I wanted to share a few quick, important updates about the podcast and how we can stay connected this summer. 📦 1. PODCAST HIATUS & NEW SEASON (August 26th) Because I am in the middle of a major move, the podcast is going on a 2-month hiatus so I can catch my breath. Mark your calendars for August 26th! We will kick off our brand-new season with a gorgeous new theme song and an interview featuring the brilliant composer herself, Jocelyn Furbush. 🎙️ 2. CALL FOR GUESTS: SHARE YOUR STORY We want you on the show! While we’ve interviewed spiritual professionals in the past, that isn’t the sole focus of The Spacious Unknown. I truly believe everyone has a spiritual story to tell. Whether you are an artist, a parent, a teacher, or an analyst, we need your voice. Apply to be a guest here! 🌿 3. MONTHLY RETREAT: “Meeting Yourself in Every Season” While the podcast is on break, we can still connect in real-time. Starting this July, I am hosting a monthly series of two-hour guided explorations in partnership with The Prairie Retreat. Running from July through December, “Meeting Yourself in Every Season” is a gentle space to align with the rhythms of nature, ground yourself through life transitions, and step away from the daily hustle. You can join us for a single session or the entire six-month arc. Learn more and register here: July August September October November December Thank you all for your warmth and grace during this transition. Take care of yourselves, pay attention to the seasons around you, and I’ll see you back here on August 26th!
