field notes : INITIATE 🔥

What were you born to give? And how do you live into your fullest expression?In this episode, grace guides you down the path and offers some clues for recognizing your life’s work. She explains why a career counselor probably can’t be your guide for this, and she gently reflects that this isn’t about saving the world.If you’re ready to refine how you relate to your life’s work and move more exquisitely into your life’s Beauty, this episode is for you."Do flowers have a mission? Maybe they do. But it’s not a statement they write about or defend. It is intricately and unspeakably woven into how and who they be. They are exquisitely and precisely expressed in their full beauty, their full temporality at the right time and the exact right place." — grace allerdicewe discuss —Reframing your life’s work as what you were born to giveThe overarching economy of unfulfilled gettingLessons from the fully expressed flowerDetoxing the word “mission”Why saving the world isn’t your callingReleasing the fear of Death as fuel for your workWhat masks as Compassion + how to more authentically be withWhy your connection to Beauty is more than enough LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Beauty is EverythingTransform your GuiltThe Initiation Deficit : Part 1Mentioned in the episode—Join the waitlist for MA 🌹Text grace a question 💬The Initiation Deficit : Part 1 Free Resources —Receive the 3 keys that unlocked every major Initiation in my life.

Too often we think of the truth as an objective reality we find outside ourselves. But what if it’s actually a story we tell together?Today we welcome Michael J Morris back to home—body for a soulful conversation about the stories we tell and how we tell them. We explore the nature of Beauty, Life and Time as we weave astrology, mysticism, physics and myth together.What shifts for us in our day-to-day lives if we understand that what’s happening right now is part of countless cyclical stories unfolding at the same time? How then do we take action differently? — Michael J. MorrisGuest bio: Michael J. Morris is an astrologer, tarot reader, dance artist, writer, and educator.

Our relationship to stories creates our understanding of time and what NOW means.So in this episode, grace begins by looking at stories in two ways — stories as lenses and stories as magnets — to help us become more flexible and creative in the face of pessimism and cynicism.Then she explores how softening our stories allows us to step into the currents of time and move at the pace of Life.NOW is the Seed for Next. Listen in and join us.Time is not fixed. Time is not set. The story is not already decided. The story is a writhing, alive, dancing, breathing snake. And so the more skillful we get with our energy, our spiritual practice, and our creative practice… the better we are able to dance and writhe with that snake. — grace allerdice we discuss —the stories we’re telling about our Selves and our liveshow story follows state + state creates storywhy Now is the soil + the seed for what’s Nextwhat to do when the Story is an obstaclethe importance of quiet + making space to listenwhy your pain is not your contributionhow to be supple + strong LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —from Judgement to Mystery 🌀R.I.P.
