Moon to Moon

My guest this episode is the wondrous Maria Minnis, whose Instagram feed is one of my favorite's. I invited Maria to come talk about her new book Tarot for the Hard Work and then it became so much more than that. Maria Minnis is an unapologetically Black, Jewish, and queer tarot reader of 20+ years who teaches people about blending their spirituality with magic, liberation work, and eroticism in their everyday lives. She believes that the end result of all magic should be to cultivate a more equitable and empathetic planet. Her highly acclaimed antiracism tarot workbook Tarot for the Hard Work is available online and in stores. Follow her work on Instagram @feminnis and at mariaminnis.com and at her new podcast Kinky Tarot. +++ EARLY BIRD ENDS TODAY FOR MY FALL COURSE MOON TO MOON! 12 weeks of recorded transmissions, meditations, and astrological teachings undoing the cultural conditioning around self-mistrust.

“Are you mad at me?” “Am I (Are we) ok?”  “I think there’s something I did wrong.”  “There’s something I am supposed to be doing right now.”  “I should have done more.”  “I know I’m right.”  We all know and carry unique frequencies of hypervigilance - bracing for problems and the scanning for threats in the environment and relationship.  My very dear friend Natasha Levinger is also my teacher and energy healer, and she returns to M2M for her FIFTH time to talk about the nuances of hypervigilance. How to notice when we’re in it and identify when we’re likely identifying with the part of us that’s afraid.  This is some powerful material.  Natasha Levinger is a therapeutic intuitive, energy healer, and author of the book, Healing Your Inner Child: Reparenting Yourself for a More Secure and Loving Life. She spends much of her time deep diving into all aspects of spiritual and emotional healing in the searchto uncover patterns that stop us from being all that we are. Sharing those discoveries with others to help them feel free and fulfilled is her passion and life’s work. Natasha is contributing 3 BONUS meditations and responding to Qs in a BONUS Q&A in my fall course Moon to Moon. I am so honored and excited to share her genius and her wisdom with participants this fall. EARLY BIRD IS $100 OFF THROUGH MONDAY, AUGUST 19! Doors close September 3.

I am so proud to be initiating this new series - UNSHAMING THE HOUSES - with my friend Jeff Hinshaw. Let's dive in! To learn more about this project, and more about my work on shame, tune in to the episode right before this one: "Grief is the New Shame." I forgot to mention in the intro that we had had an internet glitch right at the beginning, but I didn't edit it out because it's cute and human. Jeff Hinshaw, the founder of “Cosmic Cousins,” has made several contributions to the world of astrology. A vocal advocate for promoting inclusivity and diversity in the astrology community, he uses his platform to highlight the work of other LGBTQ+ individuals from diverse backgrounds. In addition, through his podcast, Substack, newsletter, and social media, he shares his knowledge of astrology, making it accessible to a wider audience. At the intersection of astrology and spirituality, Hinshaw explores the ways in which astrology can be used as a tool for spiritual growth and connections between astrology and practices such as meditation, yoga, and tarot. Emphasizing the importance of building community, Hinshaw is passionate about creating space to connect using the language of astrology. +++ Click here to invest in any or all of the Unshaming the Signs workshops. +++ Podcast art by Angela George.

I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT INSIDE! I can't wait to share. The title of this episode came through as I was sharing how it's my feeling that underneath the shame we carry is grief. The grief of the younger self that the world didn't appear to be a place to hold the generosity of nuance, of complexity, of paradox. A place of compassionate listening and curiosity. Grief that we have to be either good or bad. Grief that can't just be our whole selves. It's my hypothesis that it was easier to submit to the logic of the shame police than it was to hold the grief about the world. In this episode, I give updates on my passion project to bring the medicine magic of unshaming to the astrological community. Upcoming Live Events: If you're in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, please join me Saturday, Aug 3, at one or both of the following workshops: Unshaming the Signs at The Future - one of my most favorite metaphysical shops in the U.S.! This is an opportunity for intimate, live conversation on Unshaming the Signs. 10 AM-12 PM. Astrology & Yoga at Sunna Studio - Sunna is a new studio owned by my cousin Berit Ahlgren!
