Welcome to the Sandbox! Today, Megan and April talk with Reverend Rose Hope, who has been featured on several national news platforms regarding her NDEs (near-death experiences). In this episode, Rev. Rose Hope discusses these events as well as several other key themes of her new book, The Arc. She expounds on the amazing life she has found (and believes is available for us all) in the Now moment. GIVE-AWAY: The Sandbox is offering a free copy of Rev. Rose Hope's debut fantasy fiction novel The Arc to the first 5 listeners that email April at [email protected]. Please put "Book Giveaway" in the subject line. 😊🎁 Reverend Rose Hope offers you, as a Sandbox listener, the opportunity to discover your Soul Blueprint with this free QUIZ (comes with a complimentary session with Rev. Rose Hope or another Akashic reader on her team). Mentions:This episode references "a tribe from Africa" and one of their traditions for integrating tribe members. At the time of recording, the exact name and location of the tribe was not mentioned; however, this practice is often attributed specifically to the Babemba tribe of South Africa.

That's a lot of value for free!Telepathy Tapes, podcast and YouTube channelUPDATE🎁: Since I'm pulling back on social media and allowing myself to be "lost" in the void as I re-map my inner landscape and explore what life is asking of me, the best way to stay connected👭 is through Patreon, where I'm now publishing my newsletter (Making My Own Rainbows 🌈: A Weekly Newsletter of Magical Musings & Imperfect Integrations) instead of to the MailChimp list. It's a weekly labor of love, packed with all kinds of juicy stuff❣ There is a FREE tier so I hope to see you there; once you're signed up, you can have updates sent to your email, so it'll act the same as a traditional newsletter.🐋 Since I got the subtitle for Part One from the Whispers of the Ocean Oracle by Angela Hartfield and Ekaterina Golovanova, I thought I would draw another card for this second portion and pulled "47. Connect to Source: Go within to discover what needs to be done. Create the shift required to attract what you want."

What do you do when you had a great conversation but then it seems like a bit too much to edit in post-production that you just lose energy for it? 😫 One option is to honor that instead of shame it, cut the episode in half, and publish part now and the rest later. Now how 'bout that, eh? 😁📖 The author and book we reference several times in the conversation (but somehow never name) is DeeAnne Rose Hope Riendeau and her book The Arc. Megan McQ and I have her booked for an April 8th call, so feel free to send in any questions you might have for Rev. Rose Hope before then. To get a better idea of our guest, you can also check out her podcast "When Spirit Calls."Invitations:You can subscribe to my weekly, revamped "Making My Own Rainbows" newsletter by clicking HERE. 🌈Join my Patreon to get special perks like New Moon and Full Moon readings and/or (if on free tier) see all things non-newsletter by jumping HERE 🐉My website SandboxAlchemy.com lets you book dream interpretations, tarot readings, etc.🐋When trying to figure out what to call this episode, I pulled a card from the beautiful Whispers of the Ocean Oracle deck and got "13. Gliding through Currents: With a different approach, you will glide through a situation with grace and ease. Going inward and bringing your understanding, perspective, or behavior into flow will help your dreams take flight!"

Capricorn-rising KP Kaszubowski is a poet, filmmaker, and astrologer. In this episode she talks about how writing connected her to her body and how she discovered astrology as a powerful meaning-making practice she feels called to use with solemnity and ethical consideration. KP shares a lyrical essay she wrote and gives us all a sneak peak into her current work. We discuss what a punk-rock approach to astrology means and the grit to be found in gratitude.
