164. Bodies of Land with Marika Clymer & Carolyn Egan

How are human bodies extensions of the lands we live on? How do we remember threads of connection interwoven in the earth? How might deepening our elemental connections assist us in times of uncertainty?

In the past few months, I have been collaborating with Marika Clymer and Carolyn Egan on a zine project, lovingly named Bodies of Land. This issue is an ode to the energetics of Summer 2024 seen through the lens of the body, plants, and planets, and it's incredibly gorgeous. It's available for digital download here.

In this episode, I invited Marika and Carolyn to explore he themes that run through the zine, including the land as a body, the human body as an extension of the land itself, and how astrology can bring us closer to our inherent connection and belonging with the rest of creation.

We also discussed how knowledge can become pathways to deepen connections rather than barriers to deny connections with life, being with uncertainty, and the energetics of fire.

We also explored the behind the scenes process of creating the zine, including how the three of us ended up collaborating on this zine, and how the summer has immersed us in experiences that deepened our embodiment of the themes of the zine. 

Carolyn and Marika have taught me so much through the generous sharing of their perspectives and their presence in the process of creating this zine.

If you resonate with our discussions, we invite you to check out the zine here.
