Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking

How do we create the space necessary to listen deeply to the quiet voice of our intuition? How do we honor our intuitive guidance, especially when it seems to lead us down a meandering path?Sometimes, our intuition leads us into surprising, narrow alleyways we never expected. As we enter Gemini season, these little detours and adventures may amount to something larger. In this episode, we discussed how we, like Alice, might surrender to the magic of falling down the rabbit hole.Astrological lineup:Mon 05.20 Sun enters GeminiWed 05.22 Sun (Gemini) trines Pluto (Aquarius)Thurs 05.23 Full Moon in Sagittarius; Venus conjoins Jupiter (Taurus); Venus & Jupiter sextile Neptune (Pisces); Venus enters GeminiSat 05.25 Venus (Gemini) trines Pluto (Aquarius); Jupiter enters Gemini 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.

How does living our design facilitate effortless energetic shifts? What roles do guilt and forgiveness play in expanding our awareness? How might Human Design assist us with embracing our divine humanity? In this conversation with Joanne Chen, we explored the profound relationships between law of attraction and the Human Design experiment. We also discussed Joanne's experience cultivating her work and communicating her perspectives as a splenic projector, how her training as a classical pianist became the fertile soil that nourished her practice as an energetic coach, and how words are imperfect translations of our vibrational experiences. Joanne holds a special place in my heart. She and I have been friends for over a decade since we met as freshmen at Manhattan School of Music, and we've walked alongside one another since then. Her epic transformative journeys inspire me deeply and her perspectives continue to surprise, challenge, and expand me. It's a joy and honor to share this conversation with all of you.Here's Joanne's bio: Joanne is a seasoned mentor who has been using her expertise in music to develop a unique approach to healing and manifestation. Over the past ten years, she has perfected her method based on energetic principles and the ancient philosophy of Tao, allowing her clients to experience both healing & attracting their dream life simultaneously.Joanne has a vast knowledge base that spans various topics, including human relational dynamics, energetics, bodywork, and incarnation. She is a Splenic Projector with RAX Service 3 and a professional pianist who enjoys exploring her creative side by developing graphics and websites.In her free time, Joanne indulges in delicious high-vibration vegan food and hangs out with her furry companion, Tofu.Links:Joanne's websiteJoanne's InstagramWork with Joanne 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 is the maia through the lens of Human Design? How might we contextualize the 'no choice' concept in our embodied experiences? What is the projection field and how might we cultivate a relationship with it?Join Kelsey Rose Tortorice and me for a deep dive where we share field notes from our Human Design experimentation – as well as the first Human Design-focused episode on the podcast.Our conversation revolved around the idea of 'no choice,' the 5th line path of working with the projection field, the uniqueness of the manifestor aura and experience, as well as the role of Human Design and astrology in understanding the maia. We also discussed Kelsey's multifaceted journey experimenting with frequency through music, energy, astrology, and Human Design.Kelsey gave me my first Human Design reading back in 2021, which initiated a love affair with my BodyGraph and multiple descents down the HD rabbit hole. Since then, their work continued to inspire fresh and electric perspectives on how I interact with systems of reality. Here's Kelsey's bio:Kelsey is a post-capitalist astrologer, teacher, human design experiMentor, and community initiator. They are a student and teacher of the maia; seeking to understand and universalize the mechanics of reality within the context of individuality, cosmos, and consciousness as a whole.
