Nature Spirits Summer Book Club: Earth, Air, Water, Fire with Angela Foster
Angela Foster brings practical tips and wisdom to our understanding of the spirits of earth, water, air and fire from Chapter 1 & 2 of Nature Spirits by Rudolf Steiner. She invites us to be active in our striving for perception of these beings, while at the same time asking us to slow down and take a moment to be still and perceive the spiritual realm right beyond the physically perceptible world we live in. Her down to earth advice and deep understanding of Steiner's worldview brings us closer to understanding these elemental beings and their relationships with each other and human beings. Angela and I know that in our time, we can't do this work alone. Thanks for joining us and tuning in!

Nature Spirits Summer Book Club: Elemental Spirits of Birth and Death with Tess Parker
Tess Parker, astrologer, writer and overall amazing human, shares her wit and wisdom with us as we work through The Elemental Spirits of Birth and Death, a lecture by Rudolf Steiner from 1917 that's amazingly applicable to our time. In true Steiner form, you might think this book is about trees or gnomes, but nope. It’s about so much more than that, and in particular, the destructive nature of these elementals and their connection to technology and commerce. We cover so many topics! AI, plant medicine, the environment, and virtues. Together, we lean into this spiritual framework that helps us understand the bigger picture and role of these spirits in our world.

Reverence for the Unknown with Andres Schabelman
Andres Schabelman, creator of the new podcast Re-Belle and author of the new self-help book Captains Wanted. This podcast opens with a harrowing tale of an encounter that left him nearly dead in a foreign country–a wake up call to trust himself and become more of who he is. We talk about the quest for Impact vs. the quest for fame and how growth is by no means a linear thing. After recording this episode, I can say that it was fate, destiny or in anthroposophical terms "karma" that brought us together for this show. In the first few minutes, you’ll understand why! I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too! https://open.spotify.com/show/4Su44VNm7LHEXONFpUpeX9Instagram @Schabelmania

The Deep Feminine with Kim Marie
Kim Marie connects anthroposophy, archetypes, and feminine wisdom in her practice as a teacher and coach. In this episode, we talk about the deep feminine, particularly its invitation to growth through messiness and a “both/and” gesture towards the world. The deep feminine is asking us to question everything, in particular, the materialism of the world. We delve into topics like the institutionalization of anthroposophy and other spiritual paths, the meaning of depression, anxiety, and narcissism and more. Her insight on her addiction to spirit rather than the messiness of soul work is enlightening. On January 16 2025, Kim’s yearly 12-month program Solace starts, opening with the question “What is your Soul longing for?” She helps us on our journey from self-doubt and dissatisfaction to our aligned, empowered, and fulfilling life. I love that Kim combines ancient wisdom, archetypal stories and a little practical magic in all her work. Kim’s advice is to pick a nugget of this podcast and follow its thread. You can go to kimmariecoaching.com to find out more.
