Back in November, Kate Graham (who you may remember from episode 40) interviewed me as part of her Oracle Mountain Chats - a series of conversations with the speakers and visionaries of the first ever OracleFest.

I really enjoyed our conversation and thought I’d share it with you all here.

You’ll hear us chat about:

• titles and roles like “oracle” or “shaman” in modern times;
• why I think the practice of animist kinship might have kept our ancestors from experiencing burnout;
• how our disdain for our pre-industrial ancestors might keep us disconnected from wisdom and possibility;
• the call of these times to reclaim our humanity and what practices might bring us there;
• what forces are shaping us and how they leave us feeling broken and flawed;
• our purpose individually and as humans;
• the one practice I’d like to suggest or invite people into in these times;
• some more of my own “healing journey”

…and more

OracleFest Online will be happening Jan 31-Feb 2, 2025. You can still join us if you want to: https://oraclefest.com/?aff=kate_wildsacredjourney

I had plans for a different podcast episode today. But I need more rest and spaciousness in my day.

Perhaps you do, too.

In fact, I’m quite confident you do.

So this episode is not just about rest and why it’s probably so key at this moment in the year… but also an actual invitation to rest.

Set a timer. I’ll get you started.

Let’s rest more.

With love,

Kate

Are we manifesting? Are we practicing unattachment to results? Are we trying to create a new us, a better us? How do we even know what a better us might be or look like? Are we good enough as we are? If so, what’s the point, what drives us into any kind of action?

There’s a lot that feels confusing and overwhelming at this time of year. So here, on a new moon at the beginning of a new year, I talk about the rhythms of planting, tending, harvesting, evaluating which are available to us at many points throughout the year.

I also muse about hunger and desire and some of the pitfalls we can fall into when we’re manifesting from our modern ways of perceiving and relating to the world, as opposed to more ancestral and animist ways of perceiving and relating (and how that can affect our burnout and purpose anxiety).

And I share a method that seems to be working well for me (hint - it’s not a word-based theme and I’ll also tell you why I suspect that didn’t work for me).

Whatever your way of honoring this moment in time, may you find a way to wield your desires on behalf of more beautiful and meaningful relationships with the world. And may you move in the direction of a most honest and loving aliveness, expressing itself through you.

With love,

Kate
