This Episode's Theme...
#UNFILTERED Fall Equinox 2020 :: Moving thru the Heat, Finding the Gifts
Summer Solstice blessings <3 We are back with our seasonal quarterly check-in, this time feeling into the energetics and themes of this Summer Solstice, solar eclipse, and New Moon in Cancer - all happening amidst a pandemic and a collective resurgence and revolution catalyzed by Black Lives Matter and the fight for justice. No biggie...
Fire and water are very much alive in the hearts and bellies of so many across the globe right now, fueled by the alignment of our stars.
In this episode, we touch on current astro insights, the healing waters of Cancer, the healthy fires of our Sun to fuel our sacred work and hearts, and tending to our individual needs for the sake of the greater collective. In this time, it’s no longer about the Me, as we shift into the healing of the We. Megan and I share personal thoughts on our current state of emergence-y, which plant allies have been popping up in support, and offer up a list of resources and voices that we want to uplift whose work have been incredible - black, indigenous, folks of color leaders in the natural healing, spiritual growth, or earth tending realms.
At the end, we offer up a ritual for your Summer Solstice New Moon in Cancer to sink into what you want to call in as we birth a more beautiful New World.
