Sojourn of Light

In this episode, the heat turns up a little bit as I circle back around the dating pinwheel. It's an interesting time to be dating ANYONE, let alone multiple people at once. Is this polyamory thing no good? And what historical context is there for relating so fluidly?! Let's talk about it.

In this episode, we are on the equity train and headed somewhere real. How many orgs and businesses you know now have a Diversity Officer or DEI consultant these days? How much do you believe that person can lift on their own? Not as much if they had more hands. So then we have to wonder why so many of us don't want to touch the hot topic of equity, inclusion and justice…PLUS the anti-burnout method that has worked for me.

In this episode, I tackle a hard subject that felt urgent and timely to speak on NOW. I for one, am tired of hearing heartbreaking testimonies of people that have been bullied, abused, teased, tormented, tortured or no longer with us at the hands of people deeply wounded and unhappy in their own lives. Enough is enough. Tune in to sit with me in circle and let's get curious on how to make sovereignty the new normal.

In this episode, I share about my experience as an Ifa initiate, something that I once thought would bring me in more alignment with my ancestors and with God. While I am no longer associated with the “ile” (Yoruba for house or family) I discuss in this episode, or with Ifa, do listen while remembering that this is my story and my experience may not resonate for everyone. As a life path 7, I have dedicated alot of my time researching and exploring my roots, religion, spirituality and the relationships that run through all three. Ultimately, I was pushed toward my truth and remembering my sovereignty. May you find something fulfilling in this one.

In this episode, I go IN. This is a tell-all conversation on love, romance, intimacy, my views + experience on dating apps and my “failed” marriage. Right now, I am the best version of myself and my hope is that some of my wisdom and experience can save you some heartache or time.

In this episode, I bring international coach and mentor, Jenn Urso to the sanctuary for storytelling and illuminating exchange! In Jenn's own words, "I used to have a complicated relationship with joy. I thought it was something I was supposed to feel or experience outside of Monday-Friday, 9-5. Until I knew that wasn't the life for me. So I packed up, resigned, had my own version of Eat Pray Love (except mine included ayahuasca, walking 500 miles and some boundary-pushing retreats in India). On the other side of that, I had a new mission: to help professionals move their work lives from bearable to beautiful. To help them integrate their career and life aspirations, so they co-exist vs competing for space and time, and create work lives that feel more nourishing while supporting their career climb. To help knowledge workers experience more joy, even inside their 9-5. Professionals love to work; it's in our DNA. And...we can become imbalanced and have leaky boundaries, allowing our work to manage us rather than managing it. The result is a drained, disillusioned, restless professional in pain, trying to find the way back to more balance, control and time for living." As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Jenn serving as a coach and mentor for professionals in pain who want to find a more regenerative way to live and work. With a deep expertise of the beauty and the pain of business life, she wants professionals to live their best lives now, within their 9-5, and beyond. Is this you? Jenn will helps you to find more freedom and peace within your work life and beyond so work and life co-exist rather than compete for time and energy.

Johanna Patrice Hagarty has already founded one six-figure company and is in her second year of her newest endeavor, Art Hero, LLC. Art Hero, LLC is a full-service workforce development firm that helps social entrepreneurs at every stage of their business.

Carolyn Rose-Grayson is an emerging multi-sdisciplinary artist based in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Her work aims to explore the human condition and the intersections of identity in an ever-changing landscape, while also empowering and uplifting the experiences of historically marginalized communities, all through creative means.

In this episode, I bring visionary artist, creative catalyst + ritual arts instructor, Cat Shepard to the sanctuary for storytelling and cultural exchange! Together, we explore the sacred mysteries, answering the call from the Divine, reciprocity with Mother Earth, the honor of being a guest in cultural traditions from which we do not have a direct lineage and the power of creativity to liberate us from giving our power away or settling for less than we deserve. Cat Shepard is a creative force with over 40 years of experience as a creative catalyst serving in roles as project advisor, ceremony curator, and sacred spaceholder, land blessing ritualist, mystress of creativity, energy healing guide, visual artist, and facilitator of ancient wisdom. In the 1970s Cat became fascinated with the ritual arts and alternative healing arts. She was introduced to shamanism in the 1980s. Cat has studied, trained and has decades of practice with ecstatic trance postures, flower essences, plant medicine, reiki, kundalini yoga, visual + graphic arts and much more. Cat has committed her life to studying, learning, and practicing a sacred path of Creativity - in ritual, through nature, and with a deep trust of intuitive guidance. I had the honor of discovering Cat and her body of work 5 years ago as I asked the Divine for support with my own creative and spiritual activations. As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Cat launching the first phases of her legacy work with Ancient Echoes University; facilitating her innovative courses in a virtual setting; capturing the beauty and art in nature through the visual arts, photography, and the ritual arts; and sitting in circle with the ancients in the co-creative process of rites work in individual and group settings. As we take in this special and rare opportunity to sit with Cat, she invites us to hold these questions near and dear to our souls...How has exploring the creative mysteries with art, nature & ritual become a powerful tool for catalyzing healing & transformation? Why & how do the arts, rituals & nature affect us? What are the potential benefits of exploring the mysteries of creativity?

In this episode, I RETURN (but don't call it comeback!) in more ways than one. We are just about to hit the halfway mark with Season 3 so I thought it would be a good time to come back on and ground us back down into what we're up to here at Sojourn of Light + House of SOLEIL anyways and share a snippet from my journey. This time and moment that we're in collectively is so POTENT for new beginnings to enter our lives at the speed, sound or force of light. For me, one of those things has been becoming a published author. My book How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are: Leaning Into the Cosmic + Planetary Link Between Ancestral Healing, Collective Liberation + Creative Entrepreneurship is NOW out in the world serving us all as a community playbook, my memoir and an activator for the Earth service work needed for global cleanup, waste reduction and land + water preservation. Here is a sneak preview, the last 15 minutes of my recent interview with Lyn Rose-Grayson of Strange Fruit Zine where I talk about my book, what we can all get busy doing for healing right now and ways to keep building community with me along the way. Make sure you're subscribed to get notified on when the full interviews drop!

Whether you believe it or not, this is Miranda's FIRST [podcast] interview and I am honored to have hosted space for this soul reviving conversation. In the words of her students, clients and retreat participants, “Miranda is a kind, generous, compassionate teacher and an extremely gifted artist. Just being in her presence inspires me to new heights of creativity. Her influence on me as an artist and as a person has enriched my contribution to the world.” As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Miranda in her studio making art ranging anywhere from oracle cards, sun-kissed nature prints, mixed media paintings, art kits and visual art paintings; facilitating Art Magic with Miranda Memberships and Experiences; finding creative ways to decolonize creativity or give back; and dreaming up the next retreat or travel experience to curate.

In this episode, I bring intuitive astrologer and movement artist, Virginia Rosenberg to the sanctuary for storytelling and cultural exchange! Together, we explore the some of the meanings of the planets, Virgina's early days of divination at childhood birth parties and the joys that supportive parents bring to quirky kids like us. I had the honor of meeting Virginia as a fellow participant in Building Bridges of Asheville, a racial equity training and educational workshop that has been rooted in Western NC for over 20 years. Everything that Virginia does has her unique vibration of decolonization, social change and equanimity with a quiet, but undeniable power. As Virginia continues to expand her world with motherhood and a growing global reach, we can all learn from her modeling of how to move with the inhales and exhales, ebbs and flows of life. That's true, unencumbered wisdom.

In this episode, I bring International Angel Touch Healer and Messenger Sandra Denise Molina to the sanctuary for storytelling and cultural exchange! Together, we explore the synchronicities of a Spirit-led life, creativity as an answered prayer and the rich Mexican culture rooted in community and family. Based on a calling, Sandra left her teaching position in Laredo, TX to move to Asheville, NC to become a Healing Practitioner. Sandra is completely guided by her faith and motivated to always explore within in order to evolve to her highest being. She is dedicated to pursue her life in service to others, being compelled by the love and light within. With her purest intention, undying passion, and genuine love to help people heal, Sandra touches and transforms lives. I had the honor of meeting Sandra in 2012 by pure chance as I was launching a new entrepreneurial-rooted hospitality series with Renaissance Asheville called "Third Thursdays". In Sandra's words, "the Love which resides within is a reminder of God's intense love which created us. It is this very love which connects us to one another and it is by this love that we heal ourselves and others". As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Sandra at events with Spiritual Fusions along the East Coast, hosting her radio segment in Spanish, “Experiencias Angelicales” in La Noche Es Tuya Radio show; sharing Angelic guidance and inspiration Live on Facebook, offering Angel courses by Zoom, or providing one-on-one guidance to clients from all around the world.

In this episode, I bring artist, wellness practitioner and facilitator, Nadia Payan to the sanctuary for storytelling and cultural exchange! Together, we explore the multiplicity of identity as a child of the Diaspora, creativity as a birthright and the promise in possibility when we choose to take inspired action. In December 2021, Nadia Payan took the stage at TEDxDelthorneWomen (Los Angeles, CA) delivering thunder with "Reclaiming Your Creativity in a Time of Capitalism" which already has nearly 700 views, and climbing. Nadia's creative call to action from the stage of TEDxDelthorneWomen was certainly not the first, as they also serve as co-creator of Aligned Visionaries, co-host of Magic Jungle and an early childhood Montessorian which is legacy-building work with Mrs. Payan's School (founded by her mother in 1997). I had the honor of meeting Nadia as a fellow participant in Sowing Post-Capitalist Seeds, a workshop designed to dissect capitalism and explore alternatives to the economies we've been given. It is not hard to see that Nadia truly embodies the work and message she is putting out into the world, and in her own words, "...the act of conscious creating and art making can pave a pathway to our inner world. Embracing this self awareness can set us free. Free to connect with our authentic self, our truest essence and power. Free to share our truest selves with the world". As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Nadia co-visioning and co-creating with the Magic Jungle (which had a sold out retreat in the Yucatan in February!) and Aligned Visionaries teams as well as holding space for conscious conversation on Instagram; within the community that surrounds The Imagination Times, a monthly exploratory digest centering conscious creative practices, psychospirituality, and authentic ways of being (authored by Nadia); or out in the world as their creative inspirations once focalized in the Miami, FL community expand to wrap the globe in radiant light, in Nadia's authentic ways. Ultimately, Nadia's work gives us all a model for reclaiming our creative power, tenderness and holding complexity, embracing our authentic selves and experiences difference with an open heart.

You've arrived. This New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius (Tropical) / Scorpio (Sidereal) calls for us to cleanse and purge our shadow, honor our grief, heal our hearts and walk through the gateway to a more aligned life. If ever you've been made to feel like a black sheep, an outsider or someone who could never fit in, KNOW that you were never designed to go along with the program. And you have walked away from all attachments that did not serve you. In many cases, these people, places, things were stripped from you. You pause here in this moment at the threshold with the opportunity now to plant your seeds (New Moon energy) in fertile soil. What gifts lie inside of you waiting to be given life?

If you're a spiritual entrepreneur + creative trying to turn your ideas into income so you can work for yourself or do what you LOVE, we've all heard the same messages - when are you going to get a real job?..Aren't you afraid of being a starving artist?..or our internal voice that says I'm doing this work for the Divine so I'm not comfortable charging people or even how to set my rates. I'm here to remind you that nature is abundant and bountiful and it is your birthright to be well resourced. In this episode, I share a bit about my story and three practical exercises anybody can use to shift out of a poverty mindset to own and ask for what you're worth.

Graduation day got cancelled...did you know that? Do you feel that...and did you hear me? One of the largest and most significant rights of passage in the Western, and global cultures IS NOT HAPPENING.…and if it was never clear just how much we need human connection, or just how much it serves us to slow down and reflect – now is the time to notice. Count your blessings. Express your gratitudes. Offer a moment of connection to a neighbor, friend, family member or stranger in need. Take time to yourself, without apology. Dive deep into a hobby, interest, your rest, or your grief. And know that while this is a time of uncertainty, there is MUCH to be harvested during this time. The time is NOW.
