The power of entering into a period of exploring personal rebirth is one of the most challenging, and rewarding, journeys we can undertake. Through engaging with the spirit of rebirth, we reveal the pieces within us, be they difficult memories or personality aspects, that long to die. Myths such as Persephone and Inanna show us the universal power of the spiritual dismemberment and death, which ultimately lead to a new wholeness, where the soul is amplified and the shadow quieted. I'm joined by Angela Natividad, whose insights into mythology and personal experience elevate any discussion. We cover so many components of the rebirth journey, from the inspirational ancient rituals of Eleusis to the practical applied concepts that really help us transform, and what solar/lunar energies mean. I read a passage from "Lost Goddesses of Ancient Greece," by Charlene Spretnak. To go deeper into the rebirth journey, join my soul school, The Covina Institute. You can access the self-serve class/meditation on rebirth by subscribing to the Keeping Her Keys hub on Searchie. You can learn more about both at keepingherkeys.com

We will discuss the fundamental realization that's rippling through every area that all entities in this world, including humans, are thoroughly relational beings of great complexity who are both composed of land and nested with contextual networks of creative, dynamic interrelationships. Nothing exists outside of those relationships. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR hear author Robin Willians, author of Hawkmoon, discuss the roles of women in the Frontier West. Were they oppressed in the 19th century? How? How did the west shape women and were they ultimately better for the experience? What about Mattie Ross in True Grit - was her portrayal accurate?
