Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking

What questions and explorations are most relevant to us in 2024, given its astrology and energetic flavors? How do we hold the complexity of liminal times? This year, I invited the brilliant and thoughtful Erin Tack Shipley to discuss the astrology of 2024. We ended up creating a rich two-part conversation that weaves our contemplations, delineations, and predictions of each month from the lens of astrology. This is Part 2 of our conversation, which covers the second half of 2024.

What does it mean to cultivate an Akashic practice? How might an Akashic practice help us listen better to our selves, to others, and to the seen and unseen world? What does it mean to lead from a place of deep listening?My guest, Helen Vonderheide, and I fell into what felt like a timeless void in this conversation.For a while, I've been inspired by the ways that Helen holds space for her communities. In her work, Helen exemplifies what it means to trust in the magic of space and spaciousness. That if we learn to listen with sincerity and openness, we are not merely led to answers, but towards an abundant flow of creativity.In this conversation, we explored the connection between our bodies, our omnidimensional selves, and the living systems that we belong to. We also discussed Helen's work with Pathways of The Heart and traversing beyond the realm of the Akashic Records.Helen's bio:Helen Vonderheide is a community educator whose teachings invite the expression and embodiment of interconnectedness, relationality, and reciprocity through the lens of the Akashic Records, Decoloniality, and Empirical Evidence. Links:Helen's website.Check out Helen's newest offering, Intergenerational Biofield Healing.Check out Helen's classes here. Book sessions with Helen here.Check out Helen's Instagram.

How might we answer the invitation to deeply align our lives and our paths to what we're devoted to? How do we tend to underlying beliefs beneath our actions, especially when we sense they're in conflict with our values?In this offering, I share my personal notes and contemplations about the week ahead. With the invitation of astrology as the portal and with the guidance from my sacred ancestors, I hope these messages will serve you as you walk your path.While this contemplation was inspired by the energy and the astrology of the week of 12.18.23, I also offer the possibility that the message here is relevant for you - even if you found the episode sometime in the future.  Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

What if we always belong? What if our belonging was something we never had to prove, to strive for, or to buy our way into? What might shift if we presuppose inherent goodness and if we get curious about unmet needs? To me, Leah Garza embodies what it means to be a devoted student of big questions. Working with Leah in the past couple years has helped me open doors to parts of self I didn't know exist and question the fabric of 'reality' as I was taught. In this conversation, we discussed her approach to teaching as a way of creating communities that foster intellectual intimacy, the connection between her decolonial and esoteric studies, and, most importantly, why Leah Garza does not exist. Leah's bio:Leah Garza is a student, teacher, and mystic based out of Los Angeles. She is the creator behind Crystals of Altamira and Living Systems. Currently she is writing her dissertation on topics in depth psychology, decoloniality and ontology. Her work, whether academic or spiritual, is focused on dissolving the illusion of fixed individualism, and reimagining relationality and belonging for all beings.Links:Read more about Living Systems.Apply for Living Systems 2024 here. Book a session with Leah.Check out Leah's website and Instagram.
