#64 - Do you know a young green witch or budding herbalist? So often I hear adults who discovered herbalism later in life say they wish they knew about the magic and medicine of plants when they were young. Join us for a wonderful conversation with Herbalist and Writer Robin Rose as she shares about the joys and practical tips for helping kids (and those who are young at heart!) develop a relationship with the green world. In this episode, Robin Rose offers key insights on how plants support us in becoming who we authentically are while connecting with a sense of happiness in being alive. She also shares steps on how to help kids safely explore and learn about ritual and plant magic, and how developing a connection with the natural world helps us cultivate our sense of inner wisdom. Robin Rose Bennett is a story-teller, writer, and herbalist. She has been offering classes in WiseWoman Healing Ways: Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit Teachings since 1986 - at herb conferences, festivals, clinics, medical and nursing schools, and most joyously, outside with the plants.

A decade-long journey to heal from PTSD, depression, and addiction took travel writer Brad Wetzler to the Holy Land, India, and the Himalayas. While immersed in nature, spirituality, and relationships with people (and dogs), Brad discovered himself. Self-compassion was a big healer: "When I softened the way I spoke to myself, I began to emerge, and began to feel more connected with my world."Brad's journey is chronicled in his book Into the Soul of the World.

Eryn is a lifelong student of nature, starting her Druid path as a child peering into the Yucca flowers, climbing the mimosa and spruce trees, hiding within the viburnum with books about magic. She studied witchcraft most of her life, and found her way to Druidry as a formal path in 2021 when she joined the AODA and OBOD. Eryn is now an Apprentice in the AODA and a committed monk within the Gnostic Celtic Church. She operates the Sacred Grove Druid Home Study Circle at her family's home in South Central Pennsylvania and serves as a mentor to other Druids in the AODA.

On this episode we will have a conversation with Dr. Bron Taylor.  Bron has written a compelling book, Dark Green Religion: Nature, Spirituality, and The Planetary Future.  Bron Taylor's scholarly work engages the quest for environmentally sustainable societies.  We will explore a wide range of groups-radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused bioregionalists, surfers, New Agers involved in "ecopsychology," and groups that hold scientific narratives as sacred.

This episode dives into the more 'intuitive' and 'feeling' areas of nature education, and how we can support our students/clients/children to have experiences that go beyond an intellectually based understanding of our world.  This topic is tricky to navigate, so I do my best to be fully transparent and authentic, and be validating to lots of different forms in which these experiences can be shared. There are things that happen in nature that are difficult to describe and understand, and I have had many situations where logic isn't all that helpful when it comes to integrating them into my daily understanding of the world.  I share a few of these examples, knowing that they are but the tip of the iceberg that is all of our collective stories and 'magical moments'.    Nature Spirituality is a particularly sensitive topic to many cultures around the earth, and the way we talk about them in a conscious and considerate way is vital to helping hundreds of thousands of children and adults to heal and grow and find a new path for humanity.  The human development aspects of these experiences are in some ways the key to building a new and hopeful future, especially if we can find ways that are collaborative and inclusive and compassionate.

Have these past several years worn you down? Do you feel like your light has gone out?  I know the feeling.  But it's not too late to relight the cauldron that connects you to Mother Earth. To feel a new flame burning within. This is the subject on the ESS podcast this week with my guest, Rev. Wendy Van Allen with her new book, Relighting the Cauldron. As we discuss, we are coming into a new paradigm, your light is needed.  Time to relight your flame.  This episode is being brought to you by Forecast Salon located in Homewood Alabama. Forecast is a hair salon on a mission to shape a movement in the beauty industry focusing on education, fashion, and creativity. Forecast strives to train stylists with the latest in education to provide their guests with the latest trends. Follow them on Instagram @forecastsalon or find them online at https://www.forecastsalon.com/ As this podcast goes to air where are we in the cosmos?  We are in the waning phase of the moon with a New Moon in Pisces coming in on Monday. Pisces… the deep spiritual energy. I see this new moon as being quite positive. Jupiter and Neptune, co-rulers, are both in their home sign.  This offers a strong include with significant support. We also have some transits with Saturn and Aquarius.  This is about passion..  higher purpose and finding spiritual reasons for your dreams and desires. New moons are about new beginnings.  Saturn (reality) is right there, strongly suggesting you can make it happen. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express positive energies. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent and powerful Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.So be sure to take some time and set intentions that inspire you as we start to awaken out of winter and open up to Spring. All these cosmic forces and energy alignments, I talk about on my energy focus for the week which you can find live on Sunday nights on Instagram and FB. We talk about what's going on, we align our energy, set intentions for the week and I  pull the Tarot cards for guidance .join me or catch the replay. As we move through these comic transitions, now is the time to clean up your energy with an energy-clearing session.  Schedule one in person or online. When we work with the energy body, it helps to release the old patterns and all that old stuff.  Links My  Empowered Spirit Private Mentoring Program. Has a spot open now… just for you. My students are saying they are understanding their energy so much better... they aren't taking on other people's energy, their intuition is growing, they aren't holding on to old emotions and even feeling happier in their lives Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me and let's talk about how my programs can help you. In today's episode, I wanted to expand on some ideas that we talked about a few episodes ago…. witches and cauldrons.  And how Limited beliefs about each of these tend to isolate people. Witches, as we have talked about, are about the empowered women or men who is connected to Mother Earth, and the cosmos, likes rituals and ceremonies, and believes in the faith of their Spirit. Cauldrons.. ok... I confess...  I had a limited belief in this.  I thought a cauldron was only a black kettle that witches used to mix their potions for their rituals.  Well.. yes, it is that but it is so much more..  A Cauldron represents a cross-cultural symbol, as my guest today on the podcast,  Rev Wendy Van Allen, shares in her book, Relighting the Cauldron. She shares with us her ideas and how it begins with each individual and how that individual brings forward its beliefs in relation to the collective.  We talk about the darken cauldron, Shaman inheritance and the Aquarian Age, ancestor reverence, religion, Spirit, energy modalities, and rebuilding the bridge to close the gap on patriarchy, sexism, racism, paganism, and being a part of a new paradigm that is coming forward. Rev. Wendy Van Allen is an ordained Interspiritual Minister and counselor and a practicing Spiritist. As a Priestess of both the Lukumi and Wiccan traditions, she is a longtime practitioner of Nature Spirituality. She has a private nature-based spiritual counseling practice and teaching center in New York State. Mother Earth's Cauldron flame has gone out as the climate crisis and resulting social chaos have worsened.  But it's not too late. In her book, Relighting the Cauldron, she confronts this problem and its origins, focusing on the spiritual disconnect we have between ourselves and our natural world. With the help of ten other voices from diverse, nature-centered practices, she helps you discover your spiritual center, better recognize humanity's interdependence with itself and other species, and live in harmony with the environment. Her book, Relighting the Cauldron, will help you learn to celebrate your ancestors, seek spirit guidance, journey to the astral plane, implement energy healing techniques, and lead a sustainable lifestyle. Website  Enhancing your physical and spiritual connection to the earth can help create a more awakened humanity. It is time to relight Mother Earth's Cauldron and save the planet. Focusing on the relationship we have with ourselves is the place to begin. Connecting with nature, and finding ways to live in harmony will help to relight this fire. Yes, It is about creating community in the kind of world we want to live in and leave behind. Witch or not, it's time to relight the flame within as we connect deeply with Mother Earth. Reach out to Wendy for her book, Relighting the Cauldron. Thanks for listening. To your Spirit, Terri PS... Need help finding that fire within, schedule a call, and let's figure out how to spark that light within once again.

As Preceptor Kathleen developed the concept of the “service” path for GCC priests/priestesses and became a consecrated Bishop in 2021.

Kathleen has also completed the Dolmen Arch course, for which she is now a qualified instructor.Kathleen is an active member of Spiritual Directors International, The Theosophical Society of America, The Parliament of World Religions and is a Bard in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, where she is currently studying the Ovate grade.

New normals of extreme weather are here to stay. The planet is hotter than it was a generation ago; natural disasters are more dangerous and numerous than ever. So what do we do about it as witches? Putting nature first is the uniting link between everyone's path. No matter what you call yourself: witch, spiritual person, pagan, honoree of the Old Ways… we all respect nature first and foremost. Elyse and Leandra discuss how important it is to be always asking the question as witches, “how is what I'm doing effecting nature?” Let's talk about nature's wrath: why it's happening and what we can do about it. And when we can't do anything about it, how observation and acknowledgment is part of our path as witches.Check out the Magick Kitchen Podcast Digital Course Bundle: https://cerridwensgrove.teachable.com/coursesJoin Leandra's Rebel Mystic Community here.

We talk with Claire Schosser who  became a Companion in May 2018 and joined the Grand Grove as Grand Almoner in late 2018. In September 2019 she became the Archdruid of Fire, advancing to Archdruid of Water in March 2020. Claire Schosser has followed winding physical, vocational, and spiritual paths during her 60+ years of life.  Her blog, Living Low in the Lou, documents her efforts to apply the scientific method and ecological concepts to vegetable gardening and her and her husband Mike's work to reduce their negative impact on the earth. Her Druid path combines the ecological with the spiritual through her gardening practice, her Stream Team work with the local creek, and the Dolmen Arch practices she learned from taking the course. Having completed the Dolmen Arch course in summer 2019, she is qualified to teach it to others.AODA's podcast focuses on exploring the many aspects of modern druidry through interviewing druids from many walks of life.

Forest Therapy Healing and wellness through forest walks, forest bathing, and forest psychotherapy. Encore of Nature Spirituality from July 14, 2021

Many students ask us what A Course in Miracles has to say about plants and animals? If the world around us is an illusion, what does that mean for nature? Should we just ignore it? We usually assume that humans have great worth and intelligence, but we don't tend to grant that same assumption to plants and animals. In light of this, when the Course talks about animals, plants, and even grains of sand and waves on the ocean, it offers us a surprisingly different perspective. In this fascinating conversation, Robert Perry and Emily Bennington ask us to consider the concept of all living things being an honored part of the Sonship, and how this can help us heal a world that is in desperate need of healing.

Lupa is a strong advocate for connecting with animal or plant totems as allies to enhance our spiritual life and help us reconnect with nature. They can provide a “bridge” between us and the rest of the natural world. She cautions us to understand that totems, whether they be animal, plants, or fungi, are not simple one-dimensional helpers limited to stereotyped meanings from dictionaries. They are vibrant, intelligent, dynamic beings sharing the world with us as much as anyone else, and while we may have forgotten what it is to be in nature's community, they have not. Lupa is a neo-shaman, artist and sustainability geek. She has been working with animal magic for more than 20 years and has developed a self-created and spirit-directed neoshamanic path. She possesses a master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on eco-psychology. Her books include New Paths to Animal Totems: Three Alternative Approaches to Creating Your Own Totemism (Llewellyn 2012), Plant and Fungus Totems: Connect with Spirits of Field, Forest, and Garden (Llewellyn 2014) and Nature Spirituality from the Ground Up: Connect with Totems in Your Ecosystem (Llewellyn 2016) Interview Date: 2/16/2016 Tags: Lupa, ecosystems, watershed, bioregion, totem, totems, hard fascination, soft fascination, totemism, water, rivers, grey wolf, Yellowstone Park, Never Cry Wolf, fungi, plant blindness, The Private Life of Plants, David Attenborough, Bill Mollison, trees, practice of place, practice of action, practice of celebration.

Kate Troyer and Robbie Cornelius discuss how nature and spirituality are intertwined, and how that connection can help us create a brighter future for humanity. They also offer their thoughts on what's needed to make that happen. Watch the video to learn more.

Elementals are fairies, elves, pixies, leprechauns, gnomes, incarnated animals, unicorns. Elemental Energy People like animals, plants and the elements of nature much better than they like people. They don't just love the outdoors… but see nature as an extension of themselves. They are the guardians and angels of the Earth.  This series is meant to be healing and transformative (because that's what I do), but mostly it is a lighthearted exploration of people from various spiritual realms. Have fun with it. Looking for a coach? I would love to support you: IntuitiveCoachingwithAmy.com

Philip Carr-Gomm is one of the leaders and former Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, as well as a prolific author and teacher of Druidry. He is also a psychologist and educator, and has founded a Montessori school.In this episode, Philip shares insights about the profound and timeless nature spirituality practice of Druidry that has had a modern resurgence on a global level. We contemplate harnessing the power of ritual, the Druid practice of entering the sacred grove, and of cultivating one's own life calling, or what is referred to in Druidry as a person's awen. These practices and insights are all connected toward leveraging the circle of influence each one of us has in our lives and the yearning to enhance our Earth stewardship.Episode links:Philip Carr-GommTea with a Druid
