   S3:E3 Ethereal Dream Weaver

   Summer is almost over! I hope yours has been full of time in nature. I spent a very HOT summer day chatting with my friend and apprentice, Ari. I originally met them in Atabey, a BIPOC Herbal Medicine Program, last year. I quickly knew that they were a gifted channel for Spirit, and I was excited to get to know them better. Over the span of this year, she and three other folks have become my Creative Cauldron Apprentices. It feels like an easy and dreamy extension of the magic and medicine that we were steeped in during the previous year. In this episode, Ari (they/she) shares how connecting with their Spiritual Practice took disconnecting from colonialism and patriarchy, the many ways they experience Spirit and live in an constant dreamy realm, and how important laughter and pleasure are to us and our Ancestors. Ari is a queer, neurodivergent, filipinx, 1st gen Taurus rising from Ohlone lands in the so-called bay area of California. Currently scheming up a life that's balanced between freedom and safety, and deeply rooted in connection with earth. Most of their accomplishments of late have been internal and only people super close to them may have noticed the 12th house journey they've been on for the last 5 years. That looks like finding Filipinx spiritual mentors, rediscovering their closeness with earth, practicing and receiving bodywork, tickling around with plant medicine, listening to their friends and partners and well ancestors better. It also looks like resting and eating treats on the couch accompanied by their two cats and nesting partner. They dream of cocreating cozy spaces with friends to feel beautiful and safe and supported in our bodies as we say byeeeeee to capitalism. 0:00 Intro 1:34 Hello Ari!

   S3:E2 Pastor. Poet. Pagan.

   Solstice Blessings! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of spending Solstice with this lovely human. It felt sweet and familiar, like when Juniper and I used to live in the same community house. Lots of giggles and insight occurred while in her presence on the longest day of the year and when we recorded a couple weeks ago. In this episode, Juniper (she/they) shares all the ups and downs of their Spiritual path in the most whimsical yet straightforward manner. Leave it to this Fae-like being to tell the most intriguing tales with a sparkle in her eye and smile on her lips! From almost dying to Quaker Boys, heart healing meditations and re-finding God, you'll be happy you joined along on this adventure! Juniper is a poet, artist & soon to be doctor of Chinese Medicine. She lives in PDX with her sweet familiar (tiny dragon), nesting partner, & about 300 pillows. You can find her most recent book, change is a prayer I'm learning to love, on Amazon. Find her writings, thoughts & songs on IG @juniperwrites . If you are in the Portland area, get in touch with her this fall for acupuncture healing sessions at her upcoming practice, honeydrop healing.
