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

In this bonus episode, grace shares what's underneath the frustration, resentment, guilt and the plaguing sense that you're not doing enough to save the world.This un-embodied paradox is probably why your business isn't working, why your creations don't have that sparkle, why your mission isn't moving, your creativity is stagnant, or your relationship is just… ok.Be sure to listen to the end, for a simple and portable embodiment practice to help you ground into the present moment.“Your capacity and your prowess to embody the Beauty of the New Earth is more important than all the things you are DO-ing.” — grace allerdiceLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —from Judgement to Mystery

On the spiritual path to becoming our Selves we must release dogma and court Mystery.So many of us have been wounded by our experiences with religious institutions. We crave something bigger than certainty, but we're only offered shallow identity markers and multiple-choice metaphysical “answers.”For those of us who do leave church dogma, we often become steeped in political or scientific dogma. We turn to the superficial pleasures of judging others on social media, television and the internet.Judgment and ideology is alive and well everywhere. But what if we left them behind and stepped toward Mystery?Learn how to stop avoiding the Mysterious path and find the antidote to separation. “We can't really judge, because it's a Mystery.” — grace allerdice we discuss —Why we choose judgement + ideology instead of uncertaintyWhat we're really craving when we reach for GodHow to embrace the path toward Mystery“Everyone is God in drag.” — Ram DassWhy your body is not better or worse than your spiritHumble stewardship + discerning difference without judgement LINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —the Magic of the Third ▽What Courage Has to Do with Heavena great Teacher of the Mystery… for those with ears to hearMentioned in the episode—Pete Holmes 2024 comedy specialthe language of “situated knowledge” comes from the work of Donna HarawayFree Resources —Learn the 3 main ingredients that formed the bedrock of every quantum transformation in my life. **Get 3 Keys for the Soul here for FREE.

Investigate what happens when we avoid initiation and how to recognize when we're doing that. Through exploring the relationship between ego death, spiritual maturity, and our connection to greater Forces, we uncover why many people remain stuck in patterns of pain and projection. Learn why engaging initiation is crucial for personal growth and how avoiding it keeps us tethered to beliefs and behaviors that prevent true evolution.“everything you want for this world, out of the beautiful innocent goodness of your Heart, can only manifest if… when… there is a Great Change in human consciousness.” — grace allerdicewe discuss —The difference between spiritually mature individuals who embrace initiation versus those who avoid itHow lack of initiation keeps us stuck in adolescent emotional patternsWhy we struggle to connect with and embody powerful energiesThe importance of death and rebirth cycles in spiritual transformationHow to recognize and respond to initiation when it appears in our livesWhat is really behind the energy of initiation and what it could unlocklinks —If you enjoyed the episode, check out —Beauty is Everything

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore why true transformation is so challenging in dominant Western culture. We'll dive into the forgotten art of initiation - a powerful process that goes far beyond simple willpower or "knowing better." Learn why real change requires us to embrace death and uncertainty, and discover how our lack of proper initiation rituals may be keeping us stuck in patterns of reactivity and fear. Whether you're seeking personal growth, spiritual development, or simply wondering why New Year's resolutions never seem to stick, this episode offers fresh insights into the nature of authentic transformation and what it truly takes to evolve as human beings.“Many people are being dragged toward wholeness in their daily lives, but because they do not understand initiation rites, they cannot make sense of what is happening to them.” — Marion Woodmanwe discuss —Change is not just about "knowing better"Two crucial ingredients of initiationWhy many people struggle to make sense of their transformational experiences + resist growthWhat the ego's role is in all of thisWhat it means to come of agelinks —If you enjoyed the episode, check out —The Magic of the Third △Love the World.

Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy.“When we extract water, or reduce it to H2O, or categorize it as merely a utility and, ultimately, a commodity, we take the place out of water. And this influences how we perceive accountability and our sense of responsibility toward water and climate issues. I mean, climate issues are water issues. Water issues are climate issues.” — Aishath HudaAishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.we discuss —Huda's life-long connection with waterInteracting and collaborating with water through artChallenging logic that centers humansLife informing art and art informing lifeThe commodification of waterThe connection between Huda's work and performance artLINKSIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —Water Medicine + the House of the Goddess w—graceOf Selkies + Cycles w— mary graceBurn Out + Water Medicine w— mary graceMentioned in the episode—Learn more about the Water Medicine courseWhat is Water? book by Jamie LintonMore about our guest —Huda's websiteHuda's InstagramFree Resources —Discover your wild water archetype + upgrade your self care with our free Water Medicine QuizStay Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.grace's websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Support the show

Together we delve into the ancestral healing power of stones and crystals and how they can help us on the journey to the fulfillment of destiny.“Crystals are like the bones of the earth.

Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations' connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.“The longer I'm in astrology, the more I realize I don't have control. I can make my choices, and I can make the best choices available to me in that moment, and astrology can give me a really good window to understand what those choices are, but that doesn't guarantee specific results.” — Amaya RourkeAmaya Rourke is an animist folk witch, astrologer, tarot reader, spirit worker, and folk herbalist.

Sean is a Co-Founder and Team Member of Fly on a Wall, an artist led platform that presents and supports process and performance. Sean invests in care, awareness, sensation, and love, all of which he practices through the lens of queer stamina, movement, and evolution.Hez Stalcup is an experimental dance artist. He works with bodies, words, sound and objects. He makes dances. He is usually in them. He makes other things that maybe get seen. Most people think his work is about being queer or about gender, its only sometimes about either.
