Secret, Sacred + Small ꩜

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore why true transformation is so challenging in dominant Western culture. We'll dive into the forgotten art of initiation - a powerful process that goes far beyond simple willpower or "knowing better." Learn why real change requires us to embrace death and uncertainty, and discover how our lack of proper initiation rituals may be keeping us stuck in patterns of reactivity and fear. Whether you're seeking personal growth, spiritual development, or simply wondering why New Year's resolutions never seem to stick, this episode offers fresh insights into the nature of authentic transformation and what it truly takes to evolve as human beings.“Many people are being dragged toward wholeness in their daily lives, but because they do not understand initiation rites, they cannot make sense of what is happening to them.” — Marion Woodmanwe discuss —Change is not just about "knowing better"Two crucial ingredients of initiationWhy many people struggle to make sense of their transformational experiences + resist growthWhat the ego’s role is in all of thisWhat it means to come of agelinks —If you enjoyed the episode, check out —The Magic of the Third △Love the World.

Today, I explore one of my personal codes and symbols – the number three and the concept of the third.Three is always inviting me to go deeper and unpack more and more of its layers. It pulls me into a wider and greater understanding.Tune in to this episode to learn how the three or the third gives us a code for understanding humanity’s current chapter, as well as how we can become more skillful in what seem to be increasingly polarized situations or realities.“The third is not just playing the game. The third is making the game. It's creating the story, the orientation point from which we experience life from a different vantage and then we can hold a new truth.” — grace allerdiceThemes from the episode —The polarization of dualityThe wisdom of threeBecoming creators, not just playersParadox as a truthPlanting seeds the world needsLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Water Medicine + the House of the Goddess w—graceOrienting Toward Your Destiny Through Stone Medicine Healing w—Sarah ThomasFree Resources —Discover your wild water archetype + upgrade your self care with our free Water Medicine QuizStay Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.Learn more about the Water Medicine coursegrace’s websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Send us a message! 💫Support the show

Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy.“When we extract water, or reduce it to H2O, or categorize it as merely a utility and, ultimately, a commodity, we take the place out of water. And this influences how we perceive accountability and our sense of responsibility toward water and climate issues. I mean, climate issues are water issues. Water issues are climate issues.” — Aishath HudaAishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.we discuss —Huda’s life-long connection with waterInteracting and collaborating with water through artChallenging logic that centers humansLife informing art and art informing lifeThe commodification of waterThe connection between Huda’s work and performance artLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Water Medicine + the House of the Goddess w—graceOf Selkies + Cycles w— mary graceBurn Out + Water Medicine w— mary graceMentioned in the episode—Learn more about the Water Medicine courseWhat is Water? book by Jamie LintonMore about our guest —Huda’s websiteHuda’s InstagramFree Resources —Discover your wild water archetype + upgrade your self care with our free Water Medicine QuizStay Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.grace’s websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Send us a message! 💫Support the show

We’re joined by long-time stone medicine alchemist and healer, Sarah Thomas. Together we delve into the ancestral healing power of stones and crystals and how they can help us on the journey to the fulfillment of destiny.“Crystals are like the bones of the earth. And if you follow their resonance, that is really deep medicine. So we use this for really deep things, really chronic things, things that have been going on for a long time, hidden things, really getting at the roots of disease and spiritual origins of disease.” — Sarah ThomasSarah, whose secret name is Star Wolf, is a healer, acupuncturist and educator who is immersed in the clinical and academic experience of ancient stone medicine and future crystal technologies. Sarah is the lead instructor at the Upper Clarity School and founded North Carolina's first mineral studies program.

Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations’ connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.“The longer I'm in astrology, the more I realize I don't have control. I can make my choices, and I can make the best choices available to me in that moment, and astrology can give me a really good window to understand what those choices are, but that doesn't guarantee specific results.” — Amaya RourkeAmaya Rourke is an animist folk witch, astrologer, tarot reader, spirit worker, and folk herbalist. Her work guides others called to a wild witchcraft that straddles the seen and unseen worlds, traveling the moonlit and star studded crooked path of the bramble hedge. Rooted in historic folkways and updated for contemporary life, Amaya's praxis seeks to return to the interwoven cycles of the Moon, fixed stars, and living Earth. She has been a featured guest on many podcasts, a writer for limited edition grimoires, Moon planners, and astrology magazines; and is a seasoned workshop writer and facilitator.we discuss —Contextualizing ancient understandings of astrologyHow myth is informed by placeWater as a symbol of void and fluidityBalancing control with surrenderThe role of the moon as mediatorAstrological gardeningRelating to fixed starsLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Sound Magic, Creative Listening + Connecting to Intuition w — Zaneta SykesResponsibility + Possibility for Mystical Crafts w— Diana Rose HarperMentioned in the episode—Learn more about the Water Medicine courseSecrets of the Ancient SkiesMore about our guest —Amaya’s website and InstagramFree Resources —Discover your wild water archetype + upgrade your self care with our free Water Medicine QuizStay Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.grace’s websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Send us a message! 💫Support the show
