What does it mean to be devoted to The Great Mystery? What possibilities are available when we allow ourselves to live in the cracks, in between worlds, in The Liminal? How do we work with the Trickster Priestess within?In this highly magical episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by a dearly admired member of our community spaces - Nicole France-Coe. Nicole landed in an astrology course that Britten and I tended to last year, and this year, Nicole  will be joining us as part of the community support team for our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis along with Jaclyn Skeans, who was the guest of Episode 23. This conversation is as unapologetically mystical, profound, and grounded as Nicole's presence is.We discussed how Nicole found our spaces through a deep, intuitive call to learn astrology, how Nicole's life led them to the devotional path to The Great Mystery, and what she's learned about being living in the liminal as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human. Nicole also spoke about her experience with astrology - trusting the stars to tell her who she is, working directly with the planets through her own embodied gnosis, and how astrology connects them to their ancestors. Nicole, Britten, and I had such a fun time during the point of the conversation where we collectively realized that Astrology as Praxis will be a year-long dance party with the planets. I'm excited for you to experience Nicole's magic with us in Astrology as Praxis. Here’s Nicole’s bio:Nicole Providence France-Coe (she/they) is a devotee to Great Mystery and all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality, and dismantling power. She is more at home in the Unknown than the Binary and the Static. Being born onto Earth as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human has provided the blood and bone blueprint for learning how to dance in the cracks.Nicole relates deeply to the archetypal energy of the Trickster as well as the High Priestess and delights in wedding these two energies in her body and through her oracular offerings.This fall, with her partner Dicky, they will be launching their business website, The Lion & the Lute. This space will hold their offerings in service to ancestral healing, oracular arts, handmade goods and flower essences.In the meantime, you can reach Nicole at nicoleprovidence@gmail.com or IG @nicolefrancecoe.In this episode, Nicole also mentioned the hypnosis session facilitated by Megan Frye of Healing Wave Hypnosis, The Lyceum - The Sacred Trust https://sacredtrust.org/workshops/pollen/ as well as Kathryn Solie's poisonous plant medicine class https://www.kathrynsolie.com/Join me and Britten LaRue in a year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis!

How can we turn curriculum-building, something potentially boring and mundane, into a magical practice? How do we build learning containers that are not only sturdy, but life-giving and nourishing? How can we create a course curriculum that works through our lives, our bodies, our spirits?In this conversation, Britten LaRue and I sat for a meaty, joyful conversation on the curriculum of our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis. As lifelong students and teachers, we geeked out over our shared love for a juicy course curriculum. So we knew that when we began speaking to the spirit of Astrology as Praxis, we wanted to also craft a robust curriculum - one that will ensure that participants will feel held, cared for, and, simultaneously, challenged during the transformative experience of the course.We discussed how we weaved our mystical practices into the creation of this curriculum, how reflecting on the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn) volunteered to help us with creating structures for the container, and finally we revealed and discussed the powerful syllabus for Astrology as Praxis.EXPLORATORY CALLS: If you are interested in exploring whether you will be a good fit for Astrology as Praxis and vice versa, I will be offering a limited number of 1:1 calls!

How do we marry astrology with a beloved creative practice? How can we invite once-in-a-lifetime astrological transits to become our collaborators in creating the art that is our lives?In this episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by a dearly beloved community member - Jaclyn Skeans. Jaclyn was one of our students during our astrology class last year and this year, Jaclyn  will be joining us as part of the community support team for our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis. We thought it's a perfect opportunity to talk to Jaclyn about her deeply magical experiences emerging as an astrologer. This conversation feels like a poignant, heart-led conversation between three Pisces suns.We discussed how Jaclyn came into astrology and her unique experience of double emergence - first to name herself as an astrologer fluent in giving readings, and then as a textile artist creating astro-inspired work. Jaclyn shared her incredible process of listening to the planets for guidance on how to materialize her vision of marrying her artistic and astrological practice. We also spoke about how Jaclyn worked with the transits to transform her own life and how the planets shared their guidance in her creation process. Jaclyn has a warm, cozy presence that instantly puts you at ease, and I'm excited for you to experience Jaclyn's magic with us in Astrology as Praxis. Here’s Jaclyn’s bio:Jaclyn Skeans (she/her) is an avid list maker (Virgo Rising), lover of all things magical (Pisces Sun), and always curious about how you're really doing (Scorpio Moon). Cultivating a more intimate relationship with astrology and the planets has been an ever evolving gift, one that currently has Jaclyn creating a life that inspires and excites her. In the real world you'll most likely find Jaclyn out on meandering walks with her dog, sitting in the sun, or in her sewing studio creating Astro Hoops- custom, textile creations that turn your natal chart into tangible art.

What happens when we allow ourselves to learn to dance with the deep, gritty, dirty parts of ourselves? What does it mean to claim that we are artists of our own lives? How do we work with the sensations of our bodies to honor the full range of our humanity? In this deeply electric conversation, my guest is Madison Nees. I met Madison when Madison gave a rich, powerful talk about cultivating a relationship of inquiry and curiosity with the body - and I instantly knew I wanted to work with Madison. Our conversation is centered around Madison's practice and upcoming offering, Katabasis. We discussed what it means to be an artist, the connection between creation and destruction, how somatics are innate to us as human beings, and how diving into our inner underworld can help us find our own leadership. We also spoke about what ancestors meant to Madison and how Madison's ancestral practice has been shifting. Madison's reflections are poignant and deeply rooted in both Madison's personal and professional practices. The spaces Madison holds reflect a sincere commitment to the non-expert model. They inspire participants to explore their own autonomy and interconnection. I'm honored to share this space and this conversation with Madison. Here’s Madison’s bio:Madison Nees is a human, counselor, artist, and guide. My practice focuses on the intersection of ecology, ritual and somatics. I have worked in the addiction and trauma treatment industry since 2015. My own journey includes healing from substance use, anorexia nervosa, loss of culture and self. When I began my journey, I did not understand that the pull to somatics was a call of my ancestors. I was being pulled to heal all the things my mother could not and ultimately lost her life avoiding. I was being pulled to feel the things my Grandmother had no language for.My body knew the language however, and it spoke in illness, pains, aches and rage. It also spoke the language of held grief and aloneness. During this process, I discovered gifts hidden beneath these repressed emotions. These gifts were the sensations. The gifts were the rivers of grief leading me home to myself. They were also the intuition and creativity of my lineage. I always tried to “do” something with the emotions but my healing progressed the more I simply sat with them. Instead of trying to push them away, I wondered what would happen if I let them grow. They grew into my practice today.You can sign up for Madison's newsletter on Madison's website, and follow Madison's work on Instagram @ritual_body.  Check out Madison's exciting new six-month journey, Katabasis, which will begin on Sep 18, 2022. You can set up a call with Madison if you're curious here. Madison will also be hosting a group ritual on Thursday, Aug 18, 2022 called Pleasure is Holy. Join me and Britten LaRue in a year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis!

How can we build new worlds by learning astrology together as a community? How can astrology assist us imagining new ways of being with each other in community?In this very special episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by our astrology students from the Charting Your Course 2021 Cohort! This was such a fun episode to record and I hope you enjoy it as much we enjoyed recording it. We discussed:What they've learned about themselves, others, and the world around them from learningHow applying and questioning ‘knowledge’ is as powerful as accruing it, and how it happened within a community of learners.What learning astrology has taught them about cultivating themselves and others in their lives.What trepidations they experienced in terms of learning together and being in a long-term learning container.What they learned about being with yourself and being in community since learning astrology within the community.This coming September 2022, Britten and I will share a new offering - Astrology as Praxis - which is a year-long journey to learn, un-learn, and integrate the magic of astrology in our lives as individuals, communities, and members of the larger cosmic body. We warmly welcome you to visit our course page to learn more about this offering and sign up to receive updates from us.  It was such a joy to meet again as a group and to share this conversation with a wider audience. The energy and vitality of this group is palpable and everyone supported each other - not just in learning astrology, but as humans living the beautiful and brutal experiences of being humans.  A special thank you to John Beynon, Amy Lauricello, Bridget Scanlon, Mary Schuch, and Jaclyn Skeans for contributing their insights and lived wisdom. Read more about them below: John has been reading tarot since the early ‘90s and has been intertwining astrology and tarot in his personal practice, which he often shares through his Instagram account at @the.charyot. He brings a social justice lens to his work in the intuitive arts, and he is currently interested in how the modalities of tarot and astrology support recovery for people who are liberating themselves from substance abuse disorders.Mary describes herself as someone who is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body. Informed by her upbringing as a homeschooled pastor's kid and the eighth of eleven siblings, Mary is reclaiming her right to exploration and education. She values meditative multidisciplinary living through her practices of writing, music, art, movement, breadmaking, astrology, and being outdoors. Through these avenues, Mary is joyfully emerging as an intuitive and comedic mystic. Mary has spent most of the last decade deep in thought in gardens, on a lobster boat, and more recently, an oyster farm. She is originally from the Chicago area and currently lives on an island in Maine.

What wisdom may we glean from cultivating relationships with difficult planets and houses? What gifts might we uncover through working with the small and quiet when our society glorifies the big and loud? How can we increase our capacity for embodiment and wisdom through our relationship with the malefics and the bad houses? In this episode, I'm joined for a very magical conversation with astrologer and dear friend, Erin Kelley. Our conversation is centered around the astrological idea of the malefics (Mars and Saturn) and the bad houses (the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses). We spoke about what these ominous-sounding concepts translate to our personal and professional astrological practice, how to deepen our relationship with forces that can feel scary to work with, and how working with them can unlock invaluable wisdom in our daily lives. I deeply appreciate Erin's approach to astrology - her insights are firmly rooted in her dedicated studies of the rich tradition of astrology and equally integrated through her personal, intuitive lens. As two self-proclaimed sensitive humans, our conversation feels like a beautiful tribute to the often-unpopular malefics and bad houses, and all the gifts we've received from working with them in our lives. Here’s Erin’s bio:Erin Kelley is an astrologer and intuitive who loves finding beauty and joy in the most unexpected places. A former kundalini yoga and meditation teacher, full spectrum birth worker, and consultative strategist, she believes the book of knowledge is never truly written and has an insatiable curiosity which is continually calling her to adventure and leading her down a number of paths. Erin has studied the nature of invisible things throughout her entire life and in 2020, she began working on the concept of Slow Magick, which is the practice of slowing down and stepping into sacred time, to deeply connect with Nature and the Land to relax, restore, and reveal the natural self. When not ensconced in enthusiastic communion and conversation with the otherworld realms, you can find Erin and on the internet at https://slowmagick.comYou can sign up for Erin's newsletter, follow her on Instagram @slow.magick and visit her website.

What does 'astrology as praxis' mean? How do we invite our whole selves to learn and apply astrology in our lives? What does it mean to remember our participation in the cosmic body? In this conversation, Britten LaRue and I mused on the title of our upcoming year-long astrology learning container: Astrology as Praxis. We discussed how this concept came to us, why it feels so meaningful as two mystic-astrologers who came from long backgrounds of good ol' academia, and the ways that synthesizing astrological concepts into our daily lives as humans have helped us heal and dream new realities. We also discussed the implication of considering the concept of astrology as praxis on our facilitation style, and we break down the juicy subtitle of this course: Remembering our Participation in the Cosmic Body. We warmly welcome you to visit our course page to learn more about this offering and sign up to receive updates from us.  Britten and I feel so thrilled and proud of what we’re co-creating, which is unlike anything we’ve seen in the astrological community.
