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.Join us as we sip from the cauldron of LOVE.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.
