We have Asia Suler back on the podcast! I LOVE Asia’s new book, Mirrors in the Earth, truly a “nature therapy session for the soul.” In our chat, we talk about Asia’s birthing process - both her baby, Iona, AND her book, in the same season. We journey into her book and the many lessons as they apply to her own life. We touch on boundaries, time expansion, and the potency of “smallness” and reframing around bigness vs smallness. We cover the medicine of flower essences, the first wild blooms, the gift of marcescence, and what freedom means to Asia.
Asia gives us a beautiful exercise for discerning what really is our true “size,” as well as a look into her private rituals and practices, and flower essences she’s currently working with (and recommendations for others). We talk about cultivating one’s Voice, Asia’s experience with her own voice as a creator, and what practices have been most supportive for her in this new “mother” season of life.
Asia is brilliant at illuminating the tangible, expansive, and transformative powers of the living Earth for personal and ecological healing. Enjoy this rich and nourishing conversation, read her book, and let us know how these words land in and for you!
