Welcome to the first episode of the second season of STARGAZER, a podcast about astrology, alchemy, and magic.This begins a series of interviews with magical and creative entrepreneurs who have courageously forged a path for themselves, finding unique ways to share their gifts with the world. This series is timed to coincide with the upcoming transit of Mercury through Virgo, which is the astrological influence that I used to launch my creative business five years ago!If you want to learn about how I used the transit of Mercury in Virgo to launch and support the growth of Aeolian Heart, be sure to sign up for August 19th event, ELEMENTAL: Business Alchemy with Mercury in Virgo.Those who are a part of this Renaissance work because they have a passion, not merely for material acquisition. They work to find freedom for their creative spirit and in the way they use their time. And they work because it gives them purpose, creating vital connection and community.My first guests are the perfect embodiment of the 21st Century Renaissance that is blossoming. Beatrice Kalmar and Meredith Allen run a business called Psychic Stitch, a high-art embroidery business dedicated to up-cycling and customizing clothes to create one-of-a-kind wearable art. They are such beautiful women, old souls with loving hands who are completely inspired by their work to make clothes truly meaningful again.Since they live right here in Los Angeles, I went to their studio to chat with them and record our conversation. Beatrice and Meredith are great artists, painters with thread. They can reproduce any image or style from the past. But they also create their own original effervescent psychedelic tapestries which are a worthy contribution to the ancient art of embroidery.Amidst the rainbow of threads, the antique embroidery machines, and the works of art in progress, I felt like I was in another time and place. A time when people did not take so much for granted and had more reverence for the hours, labor and skill that go into creating any kind of clothing.In this conversation, we talk about how Psychic Stitch got started and what inspired its beginnings. We also talk about the major issues caused by the mass-produced corporate fashion industry, which is obscenely wasteful, environmentally hazardous, and shamelessly employs slave labor. As an answer to this, Psychic Stitch seeks to make clothing precious again, by enchanting them with a story and purpose. This honors the people who made these clothes and the people who own them now. With conscience and art, clothes become imbued with love. This philosophy is a great departure from the values that have spawned so much spiritual and economic crisis in the world. Whether you love fashion or not, clothes are an expression of who you are: what your values are, what your trade is, and what your aesthetics are. It blows my mind to think of how awful it is to clothe ourselves in the products of slave labor. Not only do I mourn for the people in the sweatshops, but it is terrible how much we struggle and compete to be able to afford these loveless products. The whole experience is born from pain and injustice. And it fosters no appreciation for what we own. I believe that most humans don’t really want to live like this anymore. And the Information Age is inviting a massive paradigm shift. Artisans with a vision, like the women at Psychic Stitch, are making small but important steps towards creating another way to live. I loved talking to Beatrice and Meredith so much. I learned a LOT from them and I hope you enjoy hearing what they have to say!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/aeolianheart)

Educational Podcasting Today – The TeacherCast Educational Network
In this episode of (http://www.soundtrap.com) on the podcast to discuss why teachers are using Soundtrap in their classrooms to teach their students about audio production and podcasting. I am thrilled to have Meredith on this weeks program. Sountrap (http://www.soundtrap.com) is an amazing application that is available to content creators on all platforms and today, Soundtrap is announcing several brand new features that are going to be turning the heads of both classroom and studio podcasters everywhere. Listen to today's episode to learn how you can leverage educational podcasting in your classroom today! If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our (http://teachercast.net/contact) and let us know how we can help you today! In this episode, we discuss: Soundtrap for StorytellersSoundtrap is launching an education version of its new Soundtrap for Storytellers podcast creation tool will be available in June to teachers and students for use in the classroom. The podcasting tool will help teachers differentiate instruction for students of all abilities within one classroom, giving students a compelling way to channel their thoughts and perspectives. Having spoken to many teachers and students we believe they will be utterly engaged and it will be a fantastic way for teachers to get access to an inspiring vehicle for meeting core curriculum requirements. New Podcast Transcription Tools (THIS IS AWESOME!)One of the newest and most unique features is an interactive transcript and editing tool. Transcripts can be made automatically at the click of a button, and students will be able to transcribe and edit the spoken-word audio file as you would in a text document, eliminating the need to listen to the podcast over and over again. We believe that it will differentiate instruction for all ages, abilities and individualized education plans. There are other cool features such as inviting someone to join your podcast and upload to Spotify. Why Use Soundtrap in the Classroom?It is an easy tool for differentiating instruction for students of all abilities within one classroom and giving a voice to students that otherwise might not have an outlet for channeling their thoughts, opinions, and perspectives. It can provide an easy way to connect collaborators that might not have a Soundtrap account by using a guest link For those learners with an individualized education plan (IEP) for writing and/or reading, this tool allows them to see/easily edit the words and tell the story of their learning. Teachers can provide age-appropriate content in an environment that inspires students to tell their stories in creative, artistic ways. Teachers are looking for tools for collaborative and creative content making to support their STEAM efforts, the 4Cs (creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration) as well as project-based learning activities. Access to Soundtrap for Storytellers will not only help educators meet core curriculum requirements, it will also enhance a student’s development in the 4Cs. Soundtrap bridges the necessary skills for preparing our 21st-century learners for a global, connected world. Why Create Educational Podcasts?Podcasts can empower students and teachers to become content producers rather than content consumers, and they can give them audiences beyond the classroom. Podcasting gives students a sense of purpose, rather than seeming like just another academic exercise Student-created podcasts reinforce course concepts, develop writing skills, hone speaking ability, and even help parents stay current on classroom activities. Podcasting helps hone oral-presentation skills and storytelling technique (finding the characters, conflict, and resolution that help clarify a topic for the audience.)
