Daydreaming Wolves Podcast

Hey folks, I am delighted to bring you another interview episode with the wonderful Jade of Milk and Honey Herbs! As you know I adore talking to plant people who are finding radical and nourishing ways to support themselves and their communities! Here is what Jade and I dreamed and giggled about:  - What a herbalist's workday can look like - Discovering plants as allies for our health and wellbeing  - Connecting with different bioregions  - How we can give back to our environments   - Simple herbal selfcare strategies  - Running a community clinic  - Teaching and building community through Patreon Jade Alicandro Mace weaves a love of bioregionally abundant herbs and kitchen medicine into her work as a community and clinical herbalist. When she’s not teaching bioregional herbalism to students and apprentices, you can find her roaming the hedges with her harvest basket in-hand or at home in the kitchen brewing-up some potent food as medicine. She’s a mother to her 10 and 6 year-old daughters, partner, tender of chickens and cats and new puppy, blogger and writer, and half-gardener to her mostly wild gardens. In 2012 she co-founded the Greenfield Community Herbal Clinic, dedicated to affordable herbal care, and also maintains a long-distance clinical practice. Through her Patreon community she offers monthly online classes and plant study groups, and she teaches an online kitchen herbalism course each winter as well. She makes her home in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts, in unceded Nipmuk territory.

Hey friends, I am sending another mini episode with some thoughts about magic for the full moon and the healing power of ceremony and ritual your way. I recently completed the first part of my celebrant training and am excited to explore and experience more rituals - especially self-marriages, friendship commitment ceremonies, re-namings and all kinds of transitions! If you feel you want to mark an important milestone in your life in some way and you need support for that, please hit me up!  In the episode I also talked about the things I love doing on the full moon, how you can create your own rituals and how important it is that we are making space for grieve to stay emotionally engaged with climate justice (and all kinds of other things we believe in!).  ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Friends, I can't tell you how grateful I feel to bring you the 50th episode of Daydreaming Wolves just in time for the spring equinox and the full moon in Libra.  Damn, it's honestly been so beautiful to have all these conversations with like minded people, to explore and dream together and to build community with you all. I feel you, even if it's just through the screen.  In this anniversary episode I am talking about my rituals and dreams around the spring equinox (low energy spring cleaning, deeper tarot readings, flower essences, planting seeds and shaking winter off!), about practices for tough times and starting small and about finding faith and inner authority. I'm also reading from Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown, which is a book I think you might love too!  And finally - I have re-designed DaydreamingWolves.com and am offering more mentoring PLUS The Magic of Embodiment program is now ongoing with new practices and sharing circles every first Sunday of the month. You can pledge $3 or more on my Patreon and receive access to the program, the past six modules, the community on Mighty Networks and the monthly group calls.  ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Loved listeners, this is my last episode for 2018 and I am so so happy to end with such a beautiful, honest and inspiring conversation. Danette was my writing coach many moons ago and her love and wisdom is still with me all the time! She is incredibly funny and wise and has taught me so much about life, writing and loving myself.  Here is what we talked about:  - How Danette got married to herself on a beach 17 years ago - Creating new traditions that are authentic and real - Getting clear on what we really want to do with our lives  -Sustaining commitment to ourselves and our creativity in the long run - Why we love podcasting so much - Making awkward art Danette Relic has been married to herself for almost 18 years and it has been by far the hottest and most profound relationship in her life. She is a personal life coach, artist +  writer, based online at Radical Creative Sanctuary and at home in Toronto. Her mission is to help people transform their relationships with themselves. All of her work centers around self love - healing, dreaming, loving and creating from the core of who we are in a new, radical way.  Heartbreak has been her favourite method of learning the importance of self love in her own life. After many spectacular lessons, Danette began writing her first book, Crash Bloom: the 7 Houses of Heartbreak, a creatively empowering guide to heal from a breakup without skipping over the beauty of your own emotions. The book is in the final stages but you can get a quick map of the 7 Houses of Heartbreak when you sign up for her newsletter.  Danette loves to work with individuals who are ready to say yes to falling in love with themselves + their one precious life - even if it scares them. Her most popular coaching program, Radical Self Engagement creates space for her clients to ask what might happen if they treated themselves like someone they truly love - and develop the beliefs and practices to cultivate that change.  Radical Creative Sanctuary: http://www.radicalcreativesanctuary.com/ You can listen on her website: http://www.radicalcreativesanctuary.com/podcasts/   And itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-soft-shoulder-podcast/id1389476791?mt=2 Danette's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radical_creative_sanctuary/ Her awesome friend Allison Tarr's witchy tech vibes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/techcoven/ Her awesome friend Elena Skoreyko's paper-cut illustration Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elenaskoreyko/ ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Hey wonderful listeners, I am a bit sleepy this week, so I will keep it soft and simple: I am sending a solo minisode on herbal oils and self-massage your way, because these are practices that are really supporting me right now.

Hey dream babes, thank you so much for your patience with this episode - I think it was totally worth it! I am sending you my conversation with Miel Rose, which was really wonderful and had both giggles and depth. Here is what we talked about:  - Yearning for intimacy with the landscape  - Eclectic magic - Lemonbalm and Mugwort as allies - Sharing between plant and human bodies - How magic supports folks who live with experiences of isolation, chronic illness and suicidal ideation  - Receiving support in building authentic devotional practices - Staying embodied in this time and place - Miel's beautiful year long class Miel Rose is a rural, working class femme raised by hippies in the wilds of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.  She is a textile artist, medicine maker, magic skills teacher, and an intuitive guidance giver who believes in her effectiveness as a wounded healer.  She was raised with a strong anti-capitalist/anti-consumer ethic, which is to say that she believes in cultivating reciprocal relationships with the world around us vs. seeing the world as inert matter for our consumption. She believes in an intersectional view of systemic oppression, which is to say that she believes we are living within the death throes of a soul eating civilization whose main expressions are rape culture, colonization and genocide, white supremacy, hatred for queerness and gender variance, life destroying class disparity, and general ecocide, all of which are interlocking tentacles of the same beast. She believes that it is impossible to survive in this system without accruing some form of trauma, that personal traumatic happenings are related to systemic oppression, and that a “culture” that is based on systemic oppression is traumatizing in and of itself. She believes in centering trauma in magical work, and that committing to the process of  healing our trauma is a magical act, one that ripples out through time and space.

Happy belated new moon in Scorpio, wonderful beings! I am bringing you a really beautiful, inspiring episode with my friend Elinor Predota. I think you will love this one if you are into story telling, the interconnectedness of spirituality and politics and alternative ways of building a business! Amongst many other things we spoke about the following: - Understanding interconnectedness - Ancestral story telling - Engaging with our (white folks) history of violence and colonialism - Transforming guilt and shame into something more actionable - Listening to the landscape - Building a business against and beyond capitalism to create spaces of justice Elinor supports people who long to make action for social justice an everyday part of their life and work, but who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed, to build their inner resources of resilience, awareness of self, society and environment, and confidence. Elinor offers one to one, group and DIY programmes which are grounded in a long and wide-ranging background in activism, community development, spiritual counselling, ritual work, storytelling, and facilitation of learning. Elinor’s work is rooted in the magic of creativity, of relating across difference, and of becoming alive to all that is present, within and without us, here and now.

Hey friends, Fridays are now Daydreaming Wolves podcast days, hurray! Today I am sharing a movement + journaling audio workshop from the Magic of Embodiment program with you - people in the program really loved it and so I thought you might too. I will be sharing bits from the program on here occasionally because I love making things more accessible and want to offer you a peak behind the scenes.  You might want to listen to this at home rather than on public transport or in the car, but all you need is pen and paper. I am sharing some very gentle movement practices you can do sitting or lying down and then there will be some journaling prompts to dive into. Enjoy!  ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Hey beautiful beings, this question comes up a lot: How do we make space for self-care and ritual and magic if everything is falling apart and feels super hard? I don't have a perfect answer, but I gathered some ideas and questions for you in the hope that they feel comforting! Listen to me share about my morning and bed time routines as well as my love for self-massages and the wild art of infusing small things with big intentions.  In this episode I mentioned the free tarot for beginners workshop I am running on the 18th of November, you can sign up here: https://yarrowdigital.com/free-webinars/ Here is the new podcast I talked about: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/diy-business-magic/id1439315999?mt=2 ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Hey beautiful beings, you might have noticed that I am now able to be a bit more consistent with the podcast, which is amazing and mainly due to the increase in Patreon supporters - thank you so much!!! For this episode I have interviewed another instagram crush that I had a beautiful tarot reading with myself - Krystal of Power Femme Tarot! Here is what we talked about: - Finding a unique way of reading for ourselves and others - Tarot as an anti-gaslighting tool - Learning to trust ourselves again - Bringing a fierce queer, feminist and political lens to the tarot - Tarot magic for sacred sexuality Krystal also talked about her friend Nick of https://queerofcups.com/ who is queer_of_cups on instagram and made a note after the recording: "The only thing I’d say differently is omit the term “stalker card.” Since my convo with Yarrow, @pinewoodtarot shared an IG story about how this term glamorizes and trivializes assault. As someone who unabashedly brings a queer feminist anti-racist justice-centered lens to my Tarot practice, I’m profoundly grateful to be called in so pointedly and compassionately by @pinewoodtarot. Thank you for the wakeup call!" Krystal is a New Orleans-based queer femme witch, priestess of the Morrigan, crafter of sacred tools, and professional tarot reader and teacher. She holds a PhD in Gender Studies and her academic nature has led her to study tarot rigorously and joyfully since the age of 15. Krystal's lifelong personal and professorial commitment to feminism, queer politics, and social justice also shapes her approach to tarot. For Krystal, tarot bridges intuition and intellect as well as the spiritual and the political. Krystal uses tarot to crack open space for empowerment, individual and collective healing, and social change.
