Wildspire #98 Following Grief, Ritual & Beauty with Day Schildkret
When grief feels overwhelming, what might happen if you trusted the small, alive nudges in your heart? In this episode, I sit with Day Schildkret — author, artist, teacher behind Morning Altars — as he shares how loss, nature, ritual, and impermanence guided him into creating art, books, and a global movement rooted in meaning.
In this episode you'll learn:
-
How Day used morning altars and impermanent art in nature to metabolize grief and invite beauty back into his life.
-
Why rituals and marking time are essential for healing, rest, and creative flow.
-
What it took to transform an improbable idea into Morning Altars — bestselling books, practitioner trainings, and meaningful community.
-
How to maintain integrity, spirit, and boundaries in business when the external pressure to hustle is constant.
-
Ways to cultivate daily, weekly, even seasonal practices that help you return — to your inspiration, your values, and your truest self.
