Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking

A juicy episode for a juicy topic!
There are three places I’d look to if you come to me wanting to heal your creative trauma:
* how you define creativity and what being an ‘artist’ means to you
* who you put pedestals and the stories that hold the pedestals
* your relationship to work
I discuss all three points in great detail.
If you want to go deeper, join my course Creative Exorcism here. For 9 weeks, you’ll be guided to do a daily ritual that heals your relationship to creative and recovers your creative confidence.

My relationship with the creative force was one of the most fraught areas of my life.
It’s the one area that brought up the most fear, the most anxiety, and the deepest heartbreak.
It’s also an area where I’ve learned to do the most significant, personally-meaningful transmutation and alchemy.
In this episode, I share some of my current contemplations on reclaiming the inner creative.
Engaging with our innate creative force, seeking the holy grail of true artistry, and walking the spiritual path are not separate endeavors.
And for the creative mystic, the challenge of bringing all these facets together into a cohesive, flowing conversation is one of the most satisfying endeavors.

How might aligning with Deep Time assist us in trusting ourselves and, more importantly, trusting the constant unfolding of the cosmos?
In this episode, I invite us to contemplate the nature of time to consider how we relate to our own processes.
From the perspective of deep time, we are always in process. Across lifetimes, across different chapters within our current lifetime, and across myriad collective evolutions we move through.
At the same time, the human experience of impatience, frustration, and disappointment comes with the territory. The question isn’t about avoiding or bracing for these experiences. But rather, how one can create space for deeper curiosity toward various layers of our experiences.
Curiosity is a portal. It’s a way of aligning with the larger flow of life, with the trickster current, with this cosmic body we are part of.
I invite you to gaze at your own resistance the way you might gaze at a beautiful aquarium. Letting yourself be in awe without feeling the need to interfere. To treat the light, spacious observing of your own patterns as a creative practice, a way of learning to enjoy the view of your own becoming. This is what mystics and sages call presence: being so engaged with your experience that the impulse to fix or change it dissolves.
Paradoxically, this becomes the secret to alchemizing tension. Because life is always expanding in all directions.

In this episode of Healing the Spirit, I speak to the experience of stuckness.
Why does stuckness feel so intense?
How might we understand the deeper energetic current that contributes to feeling stuck?
What vaster perspectives might we lean upon to help us move through these challenging impasses with grace and power?
I also contextualize this inquiry in the current astrology. We’re entering a week full of squares: between Mars and Pluto, the Sun and the lunar nodes, and between Venus and Saturn.
Whether you’re listening as these transits unfold or finding this episode later, I invite you to carve out some space to dialogue with your stuckness and to recognize it as a nexus of creative energy, waiting to flow towards more authentic expressions.
