The Bermuda insurance and reinsurance market has weathered recent global volatility and elevated levels of catastrophe events extremely well, demonstrating its resilience, according to Matt Britten at PwC Bermuda.  Our latest Artemis Live interview is with Matt Britten of PwC, a Partner in the PwC Bermuda Insurance and Reinsurance practice, as well as the Risk Assurance practice leader there.  Britten joined us to discuss the state of the market in Bermuda, touching on insurance, reinsurance and also insurance-linked securities (ILS) conditions there.  We also spoke about the volatile macro environment around the globe and how the Bermuda re/insurance and ILS market has navigated this.  Britten explained that, "When you think about just how challenging the environment has been for the Bermuda market, the multiple years of cat losses exceeding $100 billion, far-reaching impacts of the global pandemic, and more recently, rampant inflation and the rapid rise in interest rates, I think you have to say that the Bermuda market has weathered extremely well.  "It's shown fantastic resilience, it continues to innovate and it remains a market that attracts new capital and new entrants."  On the need for re/insurers and ILS firms to demonstrate they can deliver an acceptable level of returns to their capital providers, Britten feels the newly hardened reinsurance market will make it more feasible for costs-of-capital to be sustainably met.  He added, "I definitely feel that 1/1 of this year was a turning point, that should start to allow reinsurers to have a platform from which they can start generating those returns that will help them meet their cost-of-capital."  Listen to the full episode for more insights from PwC Bermuda's Matt Britten.

What does it mean to claim our place at the magician's table? How do we come into right, alive relationship with our emergence? How can the archetype of The Magician assist us in this process of naming, claiming, and sharing our gifts?My heart feels so full in sharing this potent conversation with my dear friends and teachers, Britten LaRue and Rebecca Padgett. One of Britten's offerings is called The Magician's Table: A Workshop Circle for Emerging Readers. This year, Rebecca will join Britten as the 13th Reader, a liminal role that both facilitates the experience and receives the collective magic as a fellow participant - so I took it as an opportunity to explore the idea of emergence from their lenses.During our conversation, I felt that we collectively opened a magical portal. The transmissions that came through felt potent at the time, but are even more prescient in their relevance during the release. In the final days of Venus in her exaltation in Pisces during this particular cycle, many of us are inspired by the luscious dreams and visited by the fertile visions. Yet, we may also perceive our current limitations: the ways we need to stretch, to expand, to deepen our capacity to actually build the world where these dreams and visions can grow tangible roots. We offer this conversation as a balm for you. Allow yourself to receive. Allow yourself to make space for the wonder of your emergence.More on The Magician's Table: The Magician's Table is a 3-month online transformational container whereby 13 individuals come into my space to gift their voice and their being with the Circle in weekly gatherings. What the participant shares each week is always emergent based on what has been coming up for them. Each week, everyone is paired with a different partner. These partner sessions are opportunities to practice giving and receiving support, and are meant to be experimental spaces for both unlearning and learning how your gifts want to move through you. Moving into contact with your gifts can be incredibly destabilizing and confronting, and thus The Magician's Table is also a death process so you can let die what keeps you from trusting your magic.If you feel a resonance, read more about The Magician's Table here. Apply for the 2023 cohort here.Here's Britten's bio:Britten LaRue is a teacher, an author, and a professional astrologer who spends much of her time speaking and writing. But she is most powerful (as she once heard in meditation) when she listens. In her work as an intuitive guide, she has built a powerful talent as a professional listener. Her clients seek out her skill as a spaceholder not to be told what to do or to be given answers, but to see their own wisdom reflected back to them. And as someone who has learned to trust in her own self-authority, she'd have it no other way. Britten's deepest calling is to be a midwife for those in the process of birthing their own inner knowing, healing from shame, and learning to trust themselves again with the reckless freedom they deserve. In 2023, Britten is in deep apprenticeship with both Saturn and Venus at the intersections of her most core wounds. Saturn is showing her the healing impact she has on others when she inhabits her power from a heart-led frequency of love. Venus is helping her to trust that she is supported in more ways than she can possibly fathom by forces seen and unseen.Connect with Britten through her website, her podcast Moon To Moon, and her Instagram.Here's Rebecca's bio: Rebecca Padgett (she/her) is a mystic, artist, and oracle devoted to the unseen world, living in an old farm house in Ontario, Canada. She enjoys living with nature and the wide-open, rural landscape which quiets and expands her mind, as well as immersing her in the cycles of the plants, animals, seasons, and night sky around her. She has previously worked with astrology, tarot, reiki, yoga, as well as intuitive abstract painting, a practice mirroring her life card - The Empress - reinforcing a strong connection to intuition and creativity. As she grows further into her voice, Rebecca finds her work to be the exploration of where these two places meet and interconnect to one another. Her work is ever-changing and growing as she is someone who is devoted to the cyclical nature of the universe and the creative process. Connect with Rebecca through her website and her Instagram.This podcast is hosted, produced, and edited by Jonathan Koe.

Het is vandaag precies drie jaar geleden dat het Verenigd Koninkrijk de Europese Unie verliet. Toenmalig premier Boris Johnson deed de Britten grote beloftes: het VK wachtte een mooiere toekomst buiten dan binnen de Unie.

Het gratis zorgsysteem van Groot-Brittannië, ooit de trots van de natie, dreigt volledig vast te lopen. Ambulances staan in de rij bij de eerste hulp door een tekort aan bedden en de wachtlijsten zijn eindeloos. Voor het eerst leggen verpleegkundigen hun werk neer omdat ze het zo niet langer volhouden, vertelt correspondent Annemarie Kas.

Konstantin Batygin from the Department of Extra-Terrestrial Physics discusses his work on the theorized extra-dimensional objects known as Dods and the enigmatic Huygens probe.

Synopsis On today's date in 1932, Maurice Ravel's Concerto for Piano Left Hand received its public premiere in Vienna. It was one of several concertos for piano left hand commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein, a wealthy Austrian pianist who lost his right arm during the First World War. Wittgenstein also commissioned concertos from Richard Strauss, Prokofiev, Korngold, and Britten. In the fall of 1931, Ravel presented Wittgenstein with the score of his new concerto, and together they gave it a private read-through with Ravel playing the orchestra part on one piano, and Wittgenstein the solo part on another. At first Wittgenstein was not impressed and offended Ravel by suggesting a few changes, which Ravel flatly refused to make. “Only after I had studied the concerto carefully,” said Wittgenstein , ”did I realize what a great work it was.” Wittgenstein performed the premiere with the Vienna Symphony led by Robert Heger. A few days later, on January 14th that same year, Ravel himself conducted the premiere of his other Piano Concerto, this one written for the two hands of French pianist Marguerite Long. In stark contrast to the brooding Concerto for Wittgenstein, the Concerto for Long is light-hearted, with a blues-y slow movement inspired by the Harlem jazz sampled by Ravel during a visit to New York in 1928. Music Played in Today's Program Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Piano Concerto in D (for the Left Hand) Leon Fleisher, piano; Baltimore Symphony; Sergui Commissiona, conductor.

Hoewel vaker is gesuggereerd dat renteverhogingen van de Europese Centrale Bank nog niet van de lucht zijn, denkt Mujagic dat het einde van de verhogingen in zicht is. 'Ik denk dat ze voor de zomer ermee stoppen.' Mujagic baseert zich daarvoor op onderzoek van economen verbonden aan het IMF en de Bank voor Internationale Betalingen. Zij hebben gekeken naar creditcardbetalingen in Duitsland, het grootste land van de eurozone, tussen 2017 en 2021 om er achter te komen wat het effect van rentewijzigingen is geweest op consumptie. 'Daaruit blijkt dat het effect heel sterk is, dat wisten we al. Maar ook blijkt dat het effect al na twee maanden is terug te zien in het uitgavenpatroon van consumenten. Wij reageren dus veel sneller op rentewijzigingen dan een consument dat 30 jaar geleden zou hebben gedaan.' Omhoog of omlaag Er is ook gekeken of er verschillend wordt gereageerd op een renteverhoging ten opzichte van een een renteverlaging. 'Het blijkt dat het effect groot is als de ECB de rente verhoogt. Daar hebben we allemaal last van en dat is dus ook goed te zien in ons uitgavenpatroon. Maar als de rente wordt verlaagd, is er daarentegen geen enkel effect te zien. Er gebeurt geen moer.' Een verklaring daarvoor wordt niet gegeven, maar Mujagic denkt een oorzaak te weten. 'De rente wordt verlaagd als het economisch slecht gaat. Mensen zijn dan vaak somber, ze maken zich zorgen om de toekomst en geven niet graag geld uit. Dat zal de verklaring zijn voor het uitblijven van een reactie als de rente wordt verlaagd.' Lees ook | 'Rente gaat nog wel met procent omhoog' Dit Europese onderzoek volgt op een regionaal onderzoek van de Fed in Kansas. Dat wees eind vorig jaar uit dat het effect van een renteverhoging ook al eerder merkbaar is dan waar voorheen van werd uitgegaan. 'Normaal gesproken heeft een rentewijziging na anderhalf of twee jaar een noemenswaardig effect. Volgens deze twee onderzoekers is dat dus anders. ' Hoewel al meerdere keren en door meerdere mensen is gezegd dat de Europese Centrale Bank nog wel even doorgaat met het verhogen van de rente, denkt macro-econoom Mujagic dat het einde van de verhogingen in zicht is. 'Ik denk dat ze voor de zomer ermee stoppen.' (Unsplash)Einde verhoging in zicht Meerdere keren is al aangegeven dat de Europese Centrale Bank de rente nog vaker gaat verhogen. Onder meer Klaas Knot, bestuurslid van de ECB en president van De Nederlandsche Bank, heeft dat recent ook nog gezegd. Volgens Mujagic moet de ECB echter goed naar het onderzoek van het uitgavenpatroon in Duitsland kijken. 'Dit rapport moeten ze 26 keer uitprinten en vervolgens uitdelen aan de centrale banken in de eurozone. Het is namelijk niet zo dat de effecten van de renteverhogingen pas over een paar jaar zichtbaar zijn, die zijn er nu al. Daarom denk ik dat de ECB nog voor de zomer stopt met het verhogen van de rente' Doemscenario in VK Tegelijkertijd voorziet Mujagic voor de Britse economie een langdurige en diepe recessie. 'De problemen in Nederland zijn groot maar wel van voorbijgaande aard. Ze zijn behapbaar en lopen niet uit de hand. Terwijl het VK met structurele problemen te maken heeft.' Mujagic ziet een duidelijk verband met brexit. 'Je kunt niet om het feit heen dat ze uit de EU zijn gestapt. Onder ideale omstandigheden zou dat al een klap geven aan de economie, maar achteraf oordelend kan je zeggen dat de Britten op het slechts denkbare moment uit de EU zijn gestapt. Dat heeft gevolgen voor de economie.' Mede door brexit hebben de Britten meer moeite met het oplossen van het personeelstekort, vrij verkeer van mensen is niet meer mogelijk met het Verenigd Koninkrijk sinds brexit.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:47) Democraten in maag met vervolging Trump Oud-president Trump moet worden vervolgd voor zijn rol in de bestorming van het Capitool. Dat adviseert de parlementaire commissie die de zaak onderzoekt aan het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Justitie. Maar het is de minister van Justitie uit de Biden-regering die daartoe moet besluiten. Het grote dilemma voor de Democraten: is dat politiek handig om te doen? Amerika-journalist Laila Frank over de worsteling in het Democratische kamp. (11:14) Qatar dreigt met consequenties voor België Het wordt gezien als het grootste corruptieschandaal van de Europese Unie ooit. Qatar zou Europese besluitvorming hebben willen beïnvloeden door Europarlementariërs om te kopen. Dit kwam allemaal aan het licht dankzij Belgisch speurwerk. Maar het superrijke Golfstaatje, dat sinds kort grote gascontracten afsloot met Europese landen, dreigt met consequenties voor Brussel, omdat het zich onheus bejegend voelt. Journalist Bart Eeckhout van De Morgen over de druk op België.  (22:10) Uitgelicht: Verenigd Koninkrijk Anne Saenen over het kerstverhaal van de Britten dit jaar: Max, het wonderhondje, wist de harten te veroveren in deze donkere dagen.

Steeds minder Britten staan achter de Brexit. 56 procent van de Britse bevolking vindt Brexit inmiddels de verkeerde keuze, blijkt uit onderzoek van YouGov. Te gast is Peter de Waard, voormalig Groot-Brittannië-correspondent van De Volkskrant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Van een Kerstakkoord of een Kerstpauze is geen sprake in Oekraïne, de strijd gaat gewoon verder. Beide partijen laten zich niet afschrikken door de kou, men is niets anders gewend. Aan het front proberen de Oekraïners steeds stukjes bezet gebied terug te winnen en daar hebben ze ook enkele successen geboekt. Andersom proberen de Russen deze stukjes weer terug te winnen. Aan de herovering van Cherson was een militaire simulatie met de Britten en de Amerikanen vooraf gegaan, die succesvol uitpakte. Daarna was het even klaar aan beide kanten en besloten de Russen hun troepen te verplaatsen. Het is nu de vraag wat de Russen gaan doen, en of Oekraïne hier offensief of defensief mee omgaat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(01:08) Het hanengevecht tussen Kosovo en Servië In het al jaren voortslepende conflict tussen Servië en Kosovo vreest de Europese Unie nu opnieuw een escalatie. Aanleiding is het mislukken van gesprekken tussen kemphanen Vucic, de Servische president, en de Kosovaarse premier Kurti. Een dispuut over kentekens zet de twee landen weer lijnrecht tegenover elkaar. De Serviërs blijven Kosovo zien als hun provincie, en erkennen Kosovo's onafhankelijkheid niet. De Kosovaren, op hun beurt, weigeren de Servische minderheid in hun land zelfbestuur te geven. Waarom lukt het de EU niet om de boel te sussen? Dat bespreken we met correspondent op de Balkan Tijn Sadée. (09:23) Lonken de Britten nou toch weer stiekem naar Brussel? Er waren tijden dat Brexit dagelijks het nieuws domineerde. Die tijden liggen al even achter ons. Maar in Groot-Brittannie laait die-discussie 6,5 jaar na het referendum ineens weer op. Onder de nieuwe premier Sunak verschijnen er ineens geluiden dat zijn regering wil proberen de banden met de EU meer aan te halen. Iets dat onder zijn voorgangers Liz Truss en Boris Johnson onbespreekbaar was - en iets wat in zijn Conservatieve partij heel gevoelig ligt. Hoe serieus moeten we dat nemen? Dat vragen we oud-correspondent Hieke Jippes.  (20:53) Uitgelicht: Chili Correspondent Boris van der Spek over een systeem dat ervoor zorgt dat gescheiden hun alimentatieplicht nakomen.

Simon Warrack travels the world restoring the most sacred and beautiful buildings. As a stonemason he's worked on the Rose Window of Canterbury Cathedral, the Trevi fountain in Rome, and the Temple of Angkor Watt in Cambodia. Coming from a professionally musical family - his father is the music writer John Warrack, his grandfather was the composer and conductor Guy Warrack – it's no surprise that classical music is very important to him. But after taking a degree in Renaissance History at Warwick, Simon discovered his own personal vocation, and he's now pre-eminent as a stone carver and advisor on the restoration of temples and religious statues. He lives in Rome but is currently in Britain with a delegation from Cambodia who are examining the treasures of British museums to see how many of them were looted illegally and should go back. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Simon Warrack talks about the joy and difficulty of cutting stone, and about how finding a pair of stone feet in the Cambodian jungle led him on a detective trail to discover how many religious artworks had been looted during the 1970s. Music choices include Mozart, Verdi, Elgar, Britten, Tippett and Vivaldi. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3

We've heard about plant parents (folks who care for plants the same as pets and even children) and the younger generations of gardeners (as well as plenty of others in the same houseplant tribes) flocking to garden centers, urban plant shops and even farm markets in search of the same interesting houseplants they see on Instagram and Tick Tock. Wholesale growers and retailers who've been riding the trend have seen significant growth in terms of both interest and sales. Thankfully the trend doesn't seem to be fading, so if you're not yet in the game, you haven't missed the wave. On the other hand, the hot plant of the day does seem to change rapidly so staying aware of different genera and having a wide range of different plants available seems pretty critical.   Host Bill Calkins is joined in this episode by Andrew Britten, the tropicals and foliage technical and sales manager at Ball, to help us all understand the most common genera available and run through a pretty long A-Z list to help you understand how to produce them with success. Andrew has an impressive resume built as a head grower, production manager, technical advisor and sales manager for some of the largest and most cutting-edge greenhouses in North America. He's produced and grown dozens of genera and is here to share everything from plant origins and varieties available to types of starter material and brief cultural best practices.

On this episode of the Met Opera Guild Podcast, lecturer Michael Bolton explores Britten's magnificent meditation on isolation and persecution.

De nieuwe premier Rishi Sunak is een bijzonder mens. Niet alleen is hij de jongste prime minister in ruim 200 jaar, hij is ook een van de meest vermogende bewoners ooit van Downing Street 10 en de eerste gelovige hindoe uit de Brits-Indiase minderheid als leider van de Tories. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken daarom in de historie en vertellen over een reeks Britse premiers die net als Sunak een culturele, religieuze en sociale doorbraak vormden. En zij ontmythologiseren daarbij meteen een paar van de beweringen over Sunak!De jongste ooit is een van de meest iconische premiers. Zonder twijfel zal William Pitt de jongere nog vele eeuwen gelden als een van de belangrijkste, meest succesvolle Britse leiders. Met 24 werd hij premier na een koloniale oorlog die uitliep op het verlies van Amerika. Een ramp, ook voor de staatskas. Pitt saneerde niet alleen de begroting, maar herstelde de Britse macht zozeer dat dankzij hem uiteindelijk ook Napoleon verslagen werd. De kiezers noemden hem 'Honest Billy'. Hij regeerde tussen 1783 tot 1801 en van 1804 tot zijn vroege dood in 1806.De eerste premier uit een religieuze en etnische minderheid werd minstens zo'n icoon in de Britse historie. Benjamin Disraeli was van joodse komaf in Marokko. 'Dizzy' was een zeer kleurrijk man, literair begaafd, politiek van vele markten thuis. Zijn bijzondere vriendschappen met de twee machtigste mensen van zijn tijd maakten hem nog meer een legende. Dat waren Queen Victoria en de Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck.De eerste premier uit de meest eenvoudige milieus was David Lloyd George. Hij was ook de eerste Welshman in Downing Street 10, bekend als 'the Welsh Wizard'. Hij legde als groot sociaal vernieuwer de grondslag voor de 'welfare state' en leidde de regering in en na de Eerste Wereldoorlog. In zijn latere jaren vielen ook zijn politieke en financiële gewetenloosheid en zijn bewondering voor Adolf Hitler nogal op. Zelfs zijn protégé Winston Churchill moest hem toen laten vallen.We kunnen in deze aflevering natuurlijk niet om Margaret Thatcher heen. Eerste vrouw, eerste bèta-alumnus, eerste kruideniersdochter als premier. Maar vooral ook was zij de grote promotor van de Indiase hindoeminderheid. In hen zag zij familiezin, ijver en ondernemendheid zoals ze die ook herkende in de grote joodse minderheid in haar eigen kiesdistrict bij wie zij zeer geliefd was. Zonder Maggie geen Rishi!Maar… is Sunak wel de rijkste premier ooit? PG vertelt over die slagerszoon die in de vroege 16e eeuw de premier en de rijkste Britse machthebber ooit werd. Thomas Wolsey werd 'Alter Rex'- de andere koning – genoemd. Hij was als kardinaal ook bijna paus geworden en onmetelijk rijk. Koning Henry VIII werd daarom jaloers en liet zijn lord chancellor zelfs diens allermooiste paleis aan hem cadeau doen.Nu Rishi Sunak premier is geworden moeten we natuurlijk ook nog even aandacht schenken aan de kortst zittende premier ooit, Liz Truss. PG heeft ontdekt dat dé Britse componist, Georg Friedrich Händel, al in de 18e eeuw van Pitt over haar een opera schreef! We horen die lyrische Liz van toen zingen: 'Myself I Shall Adore!' vlak voordat zij roemloos ten onder gaat.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

It proceeds with “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'.” Later on, there is “Sunday Morning,” one of the “Sea Interludes” from Britten's opera “Peter Grimes.” Jay was not going for a morning theme. It just happened that way. There is other music too, including a hymn, both in its straightforward choral version and in an improvisation by a famous, and devoted, pianist.

Tom Service joins Rachel Podger and her violin for a walk in the Brecon Beacons to talk about her new album ‘Tutta Sola' which features lesser-known solo violin music of the 18th century. Rachel discusses the new musical discoveries she's made through making the album and what it means to play solo, and she treats us to some solo Bach live on a hillside. Tom talks to Ukrainian musicians and musical leaders about their musical life in Ukraine right now and how music and music-making is both an escape from the trauma of everyday life during the war, and a strong representation of Ukrainian national identity. We hear from conductor Ivan Cherednichenko at Lviv National Opera, Tetyana Kostorna at Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra, Sergey Didok at the National Operetta of Ukraine in Kyiv and pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi. Edward Dusinberre, violinist and leader of the Takacs Quartet, discusses his new book ‘Distant Melodies - Music in Search of Home' which explores ideas of home and exile through the lives and music of Elgar, Britten, Bartok and Dvorak, together with his own musical childhood in England and life as a touring musician living in America. Gabriella Di Laccio, soprano and Founder of Donne, Women in Music, joins Tom to look at the latest Equality & Diversity in Global Repetoire Report which reveals that only 7.7% of pieces performed by 111 orchestras worldwide in 2021/22, were written by women. Artistic Director at London Philharmonic Orchestra Elena Dubinets reflects on the findings and shares her vision for change. Producer: Matthew Dover

Bouwen, bouwen, bouwen. Het orderboek van bouwbedrijven is goed gevuld door de woon- en klimaatcrisis. Maar waar de ene crisis de bouw een steuntje in de rug geeft, zorgt de andere voor keiharde tegenwind. Denk aan stikstof en stijgende rente, maar ook aan het tekort aan alles. Zorgt dit voor eurotekens in de ogen van beleggers of toch voor knallende koppijn?  Antwoord krijg je van Stan Westerterp (Bond Capital Partners). Met hem hebben we het over de enorme belofte van het kabinet om bijna 1 miljoen huizen te bouwen. Betekent dat het einde van de flinterdunne marges? En hoe zit het met de FIOD-inval bij BAM?

Synopsis Do you enjoy a good ghost story? The American novelist Henry James did, but liked to give the ones he wrote an extra twist – another “turn of the screw” you might say. In fact, one of his classic ghost stories from 1898 is titled just that: “The Turn of the Screw.” In it, a young British governess is entrusted with the care of two orphaned children, who may – or may not – have been abused by their previous governess and her lover, both now dead, who may – or may not – have returned as ghosts to continue their torment of the children. The manner in which Henry James tells the story leaves open the question whether the ghosts are real or just figments of the young governess's lurid imagination. “The Turn of the Screw” has been adapted for both stage and screen, and, on today's date in 1954, an operatic version by the British composer Benjamin Britten received its premiere performance at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. Each of the 16 scenes in Britten's chamber opera is preceded by a variation on a ghostly 12-note theme, a “tone row” in the style of the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, and since we see and hear the ghosts on stage, it's pretty clear Britten is suggesting the ghosts and the evil in the tale are disturbingly real.

Host Bill Calkins is joined by Andrew Britten, a greenhouse and nursery technical expert with a wide range of experience from large-scale production and propagation to technical services and even sales of foliage and tropical plants. He's been a head grower, young plants manager and production manager at some of the largest and most well-respected operations in North America. Interestingly, Andrew was GrowerTalks' Young Grower Award winner back in 2005. Andrew joins the podcast to focus on insects, because they're something a lot of growers struggle with when they finish tropical and foliage crops across North America. He begins with an overview of the most common pests dealt with in tropical plant production and what kinds of damage to look for when identifying them. These “usual suspects” include aphids, spider mites, mealybug, whitefly and thrips. Then, he turns his attention to managing and controlling these pests, talking about both conventional chemical and biological controls. Throughout the podcast, Andrew and Bill reference photos and slides, which you can find at: https://www.slideshare.net/bcalkins/tech-on-demand-controlling-insect-pests-on-tropical-plants BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE TECH ON DEMAND PODCAST ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP SO YOU NEVER MISS AN EPISODE!

What does it mean to be devoted to The Great Mystery? What possibilities are available when we allow ourselves to live in the cracks, in between worlds, in The Liminal? How do we work with the Trickster Priestess within?In this highly magical episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by a dearly admired member of our community spaces - Nicole France-Coe. Nicole landed in an astrology course that Britten and I tended to last year, and this year, Nicole  will be joining us as part of the community support team for our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis along with Jaclyn Skeans, who was the guest of Episode 23. This conversation is as unapologetically mystical, profound, and grounded as Nicole's presence is.We discussed how Nicole found our spaces through a deep, intuitive call to learn astrology, how Nicole's life led them to the devotional path to The Great Mystery, and what she's learned about being living in the liminal as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human. Nicole also spoke about her experience with astrology - trusting the stars to tell her who she is, working directly with the planets through her own embodied gnosis, and how astrology connects them to their ancestors. Nicole, Britten, and I had such a fun time during the point of the conversation where we collectively realized that Astrology as Praxis will be a year-long dance party with the planets. I'm excited for you to experience Nicole's magic with us in Astrology as Praxis. Here's Nicole's bio:Nicole Providence France-Coe (she/they) is a devotee to Great Mystery and all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality, and dismantling power. She is more at home in the Unknown than the Binary and the Static. Being born onto Earth as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human has provided the blood and bone blueprint for learning how to dance in the cracks.Nicole relates deeply to the archetypal energy of the Trickster as well as the High Priestess and delights in wedding these two energies in her body and through her oracular offerings.This fall, with her partner Dicky, they will be launching their business website, The Lion & the Lute. This space will hold their offerings in service to ancestral healing, oracular arts, handmade goods and flower essences.In the meantime, you can reach Nicole at nicoleprovidence@gmail.com or IG @nicolefrancecoe.In this episode, Nicole also mentioned the hypnosis session facilitated by Megan Frye of Healing Wave Hypnosis, The Lyceum - The Sacred Trust https://sacredtrust.org/workshops/pollen/ as well as Kathryn Solie's poisonous plant medicine class https://www.kathrynsolie.com/Join me and Britten LaRue in a year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis!

How can we turn curriculum-building, something potentially boring and mundane, into a magical practice? How do we build learning containers that are not only sturdy, but life-giving and nourishing? How can we create a course curriculum that works through our lives, our bodies, our spirits?In this conversation, Britten LaRue and I sat for a meaty, joyful conversation on the curriculum of our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis. As lifelong students and teachers, we geeked out over our shared love for a juicy course curriculum. So we knew that when we began speaking to the spirit of Astrology as Praxis, we wanted to also craft a robust curriculum - one that will ensure that participants will feel held, cared for, and, simultaneously, challenged during the transformative experience of the course.We discussed how we weaved our mystical practices into the creation of this curriculum, how reflecting on the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn) volunteered to help us with creating structures for the container, and finally we revealed and discussed the powerful syllabus for Astrology as Praxis.EXPLORATORY CALLS: If you are interested in exploring whether you will be a good fit for Astrology as Praxis and vice versa, I will be offering a limited number of 1:1 calls! These calls will be 30 mins - and they're geared to serve you in feeling into your own resonance.

How can we build new worlds by learning astrology together as a community? How can astrology assist us imagining new ways of being with each other in community?In this very special episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by our astrology students from the Charting Your Course 2021 Cohort! This was such a fun episode to record and I hope you enjoy it as much we enjoyed recording it. We discussed:What they've learned about themselves, others, and the world around them from learningHow applying and questioning ‘knowledge' is as powerful as accruing it, and how it happened within a community of learners.What learning astrology has taught them about cultivating themselves and others in their lives.What trepidations they experienced in terms of learning together and being in a long-term learning container.What they learned about being with yourself and being in community since learning astrology within the community.This coming September 2022, Britten and I will share a new offering - Astrology as Praxis - which is a year-long journey to learn, un-learn, and integrate the magic of astrology in our lives as individuals, communities, and members of the larger cosmic body.

Synopsis On today's date in 1946, Leonard Bernstein conducted the American premiere of Benjamin Britten's opera, "Peter Grimes," at the Tanglewood Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts. "Peter Grimes" had received its very first performance in London the previous year, and had already been staged elsewhere in Europe before reaching America. In fact, this quintessentially British opera was originally an American commission from the Koussevitzky Foundation run by the famous conductor and music patron Serge Koussevitzky, who was the founder and guiding spirit of the Tanglewood Festival. Opera News covered the American premiere with a feature titled "Peter Grimes On Trial – A Symposium of Verdicts," beginning by quoting with the grudging praise of the New York Times' very conservative critic that the opera was "a very interesting modern work in a provocative form." Also included were quotes from the lead singers, who noted its "strange intervals, harmonies, and difficult counter-play of the various voices." But Boris Goldowsky, the music director of the Tanglewood Center, provided the most accurate assessment, given the hindsight of history: "The opera has lasting merit," said Goldovsky, "and it will join the standard repertory. Like all new works, it was difficult at first, but future productions will be easier." Here's an additional historical footnote: the Tanglewood premiere of "Peter Grimes" was the first opera Leonard Bernstein conducted professionally, and the opera's instrumental "Sea Interludes" were on the program of the last orchestral concert he ever conducted, 44 years later, in August of 1990, and again at Tanglewood.

What does 'astrology as praxis' mean? How do we invite our whole selves to learn and apply astrology in our lives? What does it mean to remember our participation in the cosmic body? In this conversation, Britten LaRue and I mused on the title of our upcoming year-long astrology learning container: Astrology as Praxis. We discussed how this concept came to us, why it feels so meaningful as two mystic-astrologers who came from long backgrounds of good ol' academia, and the ways that synthesizing astrological concepts into our daily lives as humans have helped us heal and dream new realities. We also discussed the implication of considering the concept of astrology as praxis on our facilitation style, and we break down the juicy subtitle of this course: Remembering our Participation in the Cosmic Body. We warmly welcome you to visit our course page to learn more about this offering and sign up to receive updates from us.  Britten and I feel so thrilled and proud of what we're co-creating, which is unlike anything we've seen in the astrological community.
