   Episode 154: Letting the Fire Out

   November 24, 2025 Through some recent experiences, I have realized that there is a fire inside of me that desires to express truth, creativity, passion, and sight. But there has been a blanket ofcompliance that has shoved that fire down over the years, for fear it will kick me out of situations and leave me abandoned. But what happens when you don’t let fire out? You eat it, and eventually it eats you or blows up you and those around you. Today we will stir that fire up a bit through breath, try to identify its source and gifts by connecting it with holy fire, and let go of that which may be holding it back. I will be quoting an excerpt from Every Moment Holy: “Breathe out sorrow, Breathe in joy. Breathe out lament, Breathe in hope. Breathe out pain, Breathe in comfort. Breathe out sorrow, Breathe in joy. Breathe out joy.” (Adapted) A Liturgy for Embracing both Joy and Sorrow, Every Moment Holy V.

   Episode 153: The Roots of our Ancestors

   November 3, 2025 Yesterday was All Saints Day, or All Soul’s Day, and in Mexico, The Day of the Dead. Sometimes we forget how our ancestors have shaped us. What positive attributes have we acquired?What has been passed down to us that we may not even recognize? In today’s episode we will root ourselves into our lineage – noticing the beautiful gifts we have been given that make us who we are, and the challenges, generational trauma, or fears that have been passed down that we need to tend to.

   Episode 152: The Continuum of Groundedness

   October 27, 2025 Today’s episode is a simple grounding practice using imagery and sound. Sometimes (like always) we just need to get out of our heads and back into our bodies and souls. We will assess where we are on the continuum of groundedness. Our reading for today is an excerpt from the poem Remember fromJoy Harjo, a Native American U.S. Poet Laureate from the Muscogee Nation. Remember, Joy Harjo Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star’s stories.Remember the moon, know who she is.Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the strongest point of time. Remember sundownand the giving away to night.Remember your birth, how your mother struggledto give you form and breath. You are evidence ofher life, and her mother’s, and hers. Remember your father. He is your life, also. Remember the earth whose skin you are: red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth brown earth, we are earth. Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them, listen to them. They are alive poems. Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the origin of this universe. Remember you are all people and all people are you. Remember you are this universe and this universe is you. Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you. Remember language comes from this. Remember the dance language is, that life is. Remember. https://www.joyharjo.com/ Photo by Merri J (https://unsplash.com/@merrij?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText) on Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/photos/persons-feet-on-green-grass-xaj4IbtHO0Q?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText)
