Podcasts about Solstice

Episode 287In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of June 15th, 2026, brings big opportunities for growth. As Venus makes a supportive sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune, we're encouraged to explore the wilds of our imagination and experiment with how we express ourselves. But when Venus opposes Pluto, and Chiron enters Taurus, we're brought back down to Earth to heal the hurts lurking beneath the surface — especially around our relationships with ourselves, our bodies, each other, and the natural world. Then the June Solstice arrives as the perfect mid-year checkpoint. It's time to review your 2026 intentions, reflect on how far you've come, and commit to the strategies that are working as you head into the second half of the year.This episode covers:Venus' sextile to Uranus on Monday, June 15thVenus' trine to Neptune on Tuesday, June 16thVenus' opposition to Pluto on Wednesday, June 17thChiron's entrance into Taurus on Friday, June 19thThe Sun's entrance into Cancer and the June Solstice on Sunday, June 21stThis episode was recorded on 05/25/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.The music featured in the podcast was created by Latashá.

In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the magic of the Summer Solstice, Cancer season, dream work, ritual practices, timeline shifts, and how to check in with everything you've been manifesting since last year.The Summer Solstice is one of the major energetic turning points of the year, and this conversation explores how to work with that energy through dreams, divination, flower crowns, ritual outfits, dancing, drumming, spell jars, junk journal magic, plant care, natural water, and intentional manifestation.They also talk about why this solstice feels especially activated, what it means to focus on your own world without spiritually bypassing, and how to stop shutting yourself down when you ask for what you really want.If this season feels like a pivot point, this episode is your reminder to take stock of how far you've come, name what you want next, and go make some magic.What are you doing for the Solstice this year?

A brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a five-week period away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living.--The Wound Beneath Many WoundsThis is a week of significant arrivals. Venus in Leo moves through a rapid sequence of major contacts. Chiron crosses into Taurus, beginning nearly eight years of healing work in the realm of body, earth, and resource. And the week closes with the Sun entering Cancer at the Summer Solstice.Key Cycles This Week:Monday. June 15: Venus in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini. A liberating opening. Venus in Leo leans toward authentic self-expression. Uranus electrifies that impulse, breaking open stale patterns and quickening the creative field. Notice the difference between radiance that comes from genuine self-expression and the performance of radiance designed to manage how others see you. Uranus helps clarify which is which.Tuesday, June 16: Venus in Leo trines Neptune in Aries. Vision follows liberation. The heart and the imaginal field move in alignment. Creativity, inspiration, the sense that something more luminous is possible. In a collective field saturated with ugliness and cruelty, the capacity to remain open to beauty is not escapism. It is resistance. Let the imagination open today while holding what arises with gentle discernment.Wednesday, June 17: Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius. The week deepens. Venus opposite Pluto surfaces power dynamics in relationship, places where love has become entangled with control or desire shadowed by fear of loss. Collectively this opposition names what has long been visible: the way systems of power have sought to control the feminine, the relational, the creative. Where in your own life has love or creative expression become entangled with power in ways worth examining? What is being asked to transform?Friday, June 19: Chiron enters Taurus, remaining until September 13 before briefly retrograding back into Aries, then returning to Taurus until May 2034. This is the threshold of the week. Perhaps of the year.Chiron in Aries since 2018 has been working the wounds of identity, the right to exist and assert a self in the face of systems that deny that right to so many. It has also been working the wound of radical disconnection from the web of life. The mythology of the rugged individual who needs no one and owes nothing. The belief that life is fundamentally competitive rather than reciprocal. The armoring against interdependence that produces its own profound poverty and loneliness.That wound does not end as Chiron moves into Taurus. It deepens into new territory.Chiron in Taurus turns the healing work toward the body, the earth, and the deep unmetabolized wounds in our relationship to the living world. The wound of an economy built on extraction, of profound inequality where abundance exists alongside deprivation by design, of a civilization that severed its understanding that the earth is not a resource to be used but a living web of which we are part.Nearly eight years. A generational healing arc is beginning. Honor the threshold.Sunday, June 21: Sun enters Cancer. Summer Solstice and Sun sextiles Chiron in early Taurus. The longest day in the northern hemisphere. A sacred pause in earth-based traditions, a moment to feel the fullness of what has been growing and to honor the turn. The Sun sextiling Chiron freshly arrived in Taurus is a gentle blessing on this new healing arc, the light of the Solstice illuminating what Chiron has come to work with. Spend time in the natural world if you can. Let the body be held by something older and larger than the current crisis.Larger FrameChiron in Taurus initiates an era of healing in the domains that matter most for the continuation of life on this planet. The body. The earth. The radical inequality of who has access to sustenance. The severed relationship between human civilization and the living web it depends on.This is the wound beneath many wounds. The one that colonial dominator culture has both created and depended on to sustain itself. Chiron in Taurus will not let it remain invisible.The Summer Solstice opening this era is fitting. The longest light, blessing the beginning of a long healing.Reflection QuestionsWhere in my relationship to body, earth, money, or resource do I sense a wound that has not yet been fully named or witnessed?As Chiron begins its long transit through Taurus, what does genuine healing look like in the domains of physical life, sustenance, and belonging to the earth?On this Solstice threshold, what have I been growing in this half of the year that deserves to be honored in the fullness of this light?Stand at the Solstice threshold before moving on. Feel the earth beneath you. Let the body remember that it belongs to something ancient and reciprocal.We are not only living through breakdown. We are living through the beginning of a healing larger than any of us can fully see from inside it.Podcast poem: Cornwall Swamp by Julie Cadwallader StaubIf this transmission has been useful, share it with someone who might need orientation in these times.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

June's energy is bringing powerful shifts and heightened awareness as we move toward the solstice. In this energy update, I explore how the current energies are accelerating spiritual awakening, inner clarity, and personal transformation. Many people may be noticing changes in their energy, intuition, relationships, and sense of purpose during this time. This period is helping us reconnect with a deeper level of alignment, consciousness, and authenticity as we move into a new energetic phase.

As we approach the Solstice—the year's most potent turning point—we stand at the threshold between Gemini's fast-moving, mind-expanding energy and Cancer season's invitation to come home to ourselves.In this episode, we explore the heightened momentum, insights, conversations, and synchronicities that often emerge in the final days of Gemini season, and how the Solstice illuminates what is ready to be seen, celebrated, or released. We'll also look ahead to Cancer season, a time of emotional nourishment, inner reflection, and reconnecting with what truly matters.If you've been feeling pulled in many directions, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and guidance for navigating the shift from outward exploration to inward alignment. Join us at Solstice - Saturday 20th June, near Lutterwworth, Leics, UK for the Solstice Re-wild GatheringWe deeply appreciate your continued support.  And because we value your committment to your soul growth & light journey, we would love to connect with you on a deeper level!Follow us on Instagram @lunarlightworker Join our Facebook LunarLightCommunityIf you really enjoyed this episode, I would love for you to leave me a 5 star review or share it with a friend.Love & light,Zoe, founder of Lunar Light Worker xx

Are you still aligned with the goals you set at the beginning of the year, or have you been swept up in a fast, urgent pace? In this session, Robyn and Colleen Benelli guide you through a mid-year Reiki check-in to reflect on your original intentions, clear hidden blocks, and see what still holds authentic life force for your path forward. Learn how to navigate the "messy middle" of your manifestation journey by using Reiki tools to quiet the external noise and return to your inner truth. Key Insights Evaluating Mid-Year Life Force: Intentions are fluid, and a mid-year check-in allows you to look back at your initial goals to see which ones still feel warm, steady, and vibrant. Some goals may be completed, some may have softened, and others may simply need a new form to align with your current spiritual growth. Eagle Vision vs. Mouse Vision: Grounding your manifestations requires shifting your perspective. Eagle vision lets you soar high above to see the entire trajectory of your path behind and in front of you, while Mouse vision drops you directly into the present moment, helping you navigate the immediate, practical details. Aligning the Multiple Minds: To accurately hear your inner wisdom over the loud, external noise of the world, Reiki helps coordinate your distinct centers of intelligence. By aligning your Divine Mind, analytical human mind, heart mind, instinctual gut mind (soul knowledge), and physical Earth mind (cellular memory), you bring your entire being into centered stability. The Healing Power of the Pause: When the pace of life becomes hurried and full of false urgency, simply pausing to take a deep breath and consciously choosing to receive Reiki changes your energetic frequency. This practice of "microdosing" Reiki trains the ordinary mind to automatically think from a deeper, more peaceful space. People Also Ask (FAQ) How do I know if my manifestation goals are still right for me? During a mid-year check-in, bring Reiki energy directly into your original intentions and listen to your inner truth. If a goal still feels warm, peaceful, or quietly persistent, it still holds life force. If it feels distant, heavy, or no longer relevant, you can use Reiki tools to gracefully let it go. What is the "messy middle" in a Reiki manifestation path? The "messy middle" is the phase where you are transitioning between letting go of old patterns and completely anchoring your new goals. It can feel confusing or unclear, but utilizing Reiki tools during this time helps bring clarity of mind, stability, and the patience required to let your intentions gestate naturally. How do you use Reiki to overcome over-giving and open to receiving? Many practitioners struggle with an imbalance of over-giving. To step into authentic receiving, practice stopping throughout your day, placing a hand on your heart if possible, and using a Reiki symbol while setting the conscious intention: "I receive." This microdosing technique retrains your system to accept support and opportunities.

Welcome JUNE. In this June Akashic Guidance episode, Ashley opens the Akashic Records and channels guidance for the month ahead, exploring the energetic themes of June and what they are being asked to pay attention to. This month brings messages around refinement, authentic expression, conscious creation, and learning to filter life through what feels true within. Ashley also shares the astrology for the month, important energetic dates and openings ahead, and the Codes of Destiny to watch for in June.

As June moves us into fire season energetically, Ashley shares what this means, how to move through the fire in alignment, and how to work with the energy rather than against it. Plus, Ashley shares what she's loving lately, a recommended workshop to complete before the Solstice, and how to prepare for a new experience opening after the Solstice.

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J. Maas's storytelling. We explore key elements of the novel, including symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and character development, while examining major A Court of Silver Flames themes like trauma, healing, power, and transformation within the ACOTAR series. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames, the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: At the Court of Nightmares' Winter Solstice ball, Nesta stuns the room (and Cassian) when she dances with Eris, wielding her beauty and skill as weapons in service of the Night Court's political game. Back at the river house, Nesta navigates her first real Solstice with the Inner Circle, and Cassian's gift cracks her open, and she finally tells him the truth of her feelings, feelings he echoes in his actions. In the weeks that follow, Nesta settles into a contented routine of training, singing, climbing the stairs, and choosing to live her life. But when Cassian confronts her about their mating bond, Nesta fractures under the weight of what it means to lose the last thread of her humanity. Calling in their bargain, she sends him away, finds her footing with her friends at Emerie's cottage, only for the Blood Rite to begin and the Illyrians to steal the Valkyries in training away. Each week, we ask ourselves a question: Is accepting their love, and their mating bond, an act of courage or the loss of control for Cassian and Nesta?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Small-Cap Spotlight, Dr. Siyu Huang, Founder and CEO of Factorial Energy, joins host Tim Gerdeman and WTR analyst Eric Goldstein to discuss why solid-state batteries are finally crossing from lab to road. The conversation covers Factorial's two platforms — FEST® for drones and defense, Solstice for robotics and energy storage — joint development agreements with strategic partners including Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Hyundai, and Kia, a strategic investment from IQT, the venture arm of the U.S. national security community, and why defense and drone markets may generate revenue well ahead of the automotive ramp. Dr. Huang also explains the company's capital-light business model and how it plans to scale without building its own gigafactories.

THE G.Y.M. — PILOT, ACTS TWO AND THREE By Dani HanksPick up where Act One left off. Valerie still cannot get her commercial. The film crew is still in her face. The Solstice gym across the street is still winning. And things are about to get considerably worse.Bryan is teaching group fitness despite not knowing what "happy baby" is, and every senior in the building keeps asking when Reggie is coming back. Kayla is supposed to be training her client. Her client is currently turning purple under a barbell. The cameraman looks weirdly familiar to her and she cannot place it. Chris is somewhere in the locker room going through a smoothie situation he did not ask for. Wade the IT guy is crawling through a server closet stuffed with the unpaid invoices Valerie has been hiding in her clipboard. And Valerie, our hero, has just told the cute IT guy that her anaconda doesn't want his real estate funds.It's fine. Everything is fine.By the time we get to the pool, Alexa is jumping off a diving board she has no business being on, Bryan is leading a secret back room of seniors through a yoga pose he learned thirty seconds ago, Wade is sitting next to a soaking wet Valerie holding the worst envelopes she's ever seen in her life, and the truth about who's been filming all day is about to drop in the middle of the room like a brick through a window.Underneath the chaos, this is what the show is actually about: a woman trying to save the only place she ever felt at home, with a crew of misfits who have nowhere else to go either. Norman Lear would recognize this gym. So would anybody who's ever worked at one.Meanwhile, across the street, in a chrome office at the new Solstice, a Southern silver fox in a tall cowboy hat is watching the whole thing through binoculars. He is having the time of his life. He is not done with The G.Y.M. Not even close.Recorded live at Podcast Movement at SXSW in front of a packed house of our peers, and you can hear it in the room.

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J. Maas's storytelling. We explore key elements of the novel, including symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and character development, while examining major A Court of Silver Flames themes like trauma, healing, power, and transformation within the ACOTAR series. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames, the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: Nesta and Cassian return to the House of Wind, where training resumes with the aspiring Valkyries who face down the infamous white ribbon. Attending an evening service with the priestesses, Nesta unexpectedly scries for the Harp, leading her and Cassian to the Prison to retrieve it. There, they face the ancient, terrifying Lanthys, and Nesta chooses to fight alongside Cassian to survive, wielding Ataraxia with surprising results. Back in Velaris, Nesta shares a wordless reconciliation with Feyre and, at Rhys's request, begins her rigorous dancing training with Mor in anticipation of Winter Solstice celebrations at the Hewn City. As she focuses on making steps toward healing, Nesta visits the old cottage with Cassian for closure, and by Solstice, she sits beside a fire for the first time and is able to endure the discomfort. Each week, we ask ourselves a question: How do we feel about Nesta's breakdown? Was it earned?

THE G.Y.M. — PILOT, ACT ONE By Dani HanksWelcome to the run-down fitness shithole at the end of the strip mall. Two buildings left standing, a tech repair shop and The G.Y.M., and across the street a brand new chrome-and-barbell luxury chain called Solstice is having its grand opening on the same day Valerie is trying to film her grand re-opening commercial.Valerie inherited her childhood sanctuary the hard way. The previous owner got hauled off in handcuffs as "The Flamingo King," the FBI took the penguins, and she sank her life savings into keeping the bulldozers off the lot. Now the bike handlebars are snapping mid-shoot, the wifi is down, the POS is down, the smoothie blender is wifi-controlled (a mistake), and a real estate vulture in pinstripes will not stop circling the parking lot. Her ragtag crew, an Insta-thirsty trainer, a Finnish golden retriever on a visa, a chaos-gremlin receptionist who cannot swim, a buttoned-up IT guy from next door, a smoothie-bar veteran who misses the cocaine era, and a crystal-worshipping yogi with prison connections, is the only thing standing between Valerie and the wrecking ball.It's a found-family workplace comedy in the bloodline of Cheers, Superstore, and The Bear, but make it the gym. HBO sitcom material with prime-network legs. Dani Hanks' pilot won the 2024 Austin Film Festival Josephson Entertainment Fellowship, the year-long development deal AFF hands to the one teleplay it bets the most on, and ISA named Dani one of the Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch in 2025.We recorded this live at Podcast Movement at SXSW in front of a packed house of our peers, and you can hear it in the room. The energy, the laughs landing in real time, the cast riding the wave together. Video version available on YouTube and across our channels. Lean in with that, then let Act One take you the rest of the way.CASTHeather Foster - Narrator Allison Dunbar - Valerie Yasmine Al-Bustami - Kayla and Spin Client Kensington Tallman - Alexa and White Trash Spin Diva Shaan Sharma - Wade, Bored EMT, and Johnny Joe Nemmers - Gary Hughes, Cocky Newscaster, Television, and Gruff Driver Jacob A.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyHYUNDAI REVEALS IONIQ 3 DETAILSHyundai unveiled its first compact electric hatchback, the IONIQ 3, at Milan Design Week, featuring an "Aero Hatch" silhouette, E-GMP platform, and battery options of 42.2 kWh (213 miles) or 61 kWh (308 miles). At 4.15 metres long with a 441-litre boot, Android-based Pleos Connect infotainment, and an expected starting price of around £25,000, it will be built in Turkey with no US launch planned.HYUNDAI REVEALS PLEOS OS FOR FUTURE EVSHyundai has unveiled Pleos OS, an Android Automotive-based software platform debuting on the Ioniq 3 before rolling out across future EVs, featuring a large map-based home screen and its own App Market rather than Google Automotive Services. The system adopts a zonal controller architecture to reduce wiring and complexity, while retaining physical controls for volume, temperature, and seat functions to address criticisms of Hyundai's ageing in-car software.EU EV SALES SURGE IN MARCHBattery EV registrations across 14 key EU and EFTA markets jumped 51% year-on-year in March 2026 to over 224,000 units, representing 22% of all new car sales. Q1 2026 saw more than 500,000 new EVs registered across the EU — up 33.5% from Q1 2025 — with Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Poland all posting year-to-date BEV growth above 40%.U.S. USED EV SALES HIT RECORD IN MARCHAmericans purchased 42,924 used EVs in March 2026, setting a new all-time monthly record and marking a 27.7% year-on-year increase, driven by off-lease vehicles returning to dealerships and elevated petrol prices. This came as new EV sales fell nearly 25% year-on-year to around 83,000 units in the same month.AFEELA SCALES BACK AS SONY AND HONDA RETREATSony Honda Mobility is winding down its Afeela EV joint venture following the March 25 cancellation of its first two models — a sedan and a crossover SUV — with its roughly 400 employees set to return to Sony Corp. and Honda Motor Co. The retreat marks the end of a venture that had positioned Afeela as a software-defined vehicle brand blending Sony's tech expertise with Honda's manufacturing, with the Afeela 1 sedan having been due for delivery later in 2026.UK RAISES EV LUXURY TAX THRESHOLDThe UK has raised the Expensive Car Supplement threshold from £40,000 to £50,000, removing an annual £425 charge that had applied to many electric cars since April 1, 2025. Over the five-year duration of the supplement, this represents a total saving of £2,125 for affected EV buyers.FORD CUTS EXPLORER AND CAPRI PRICESFord has reduced prices on its Explorer and Capri EVs by up to £5,000, with the Explorer now starting at £35,185 and the AWD Premium variant dropping below £50,000. Both models gain a new LFP battery, upgraded motor, and increased Standard Range net capacity from 52 kWh to 58 kWh, adding 43 miles of WLTP range, while the Capri also gets a power boost to 140 kW via Volkswagen Group's new APP350 motor.GERMANY EYES 8 MILLION BEVS BY 2030Germany is targeting 8 million BEVs and 2.4 million PHEVs on its roads by 2030, forecasting annual BEV sales growth of 24% and electric vehicles taking around 70% of total new car sales by the end of the decade. The number of available BEV models is expected to rise 40% between 2026 and 2030, alongside growing adoption of bidirectional V2X charging to support grid stability.EV RANGE NOW OUTRUNS MOST DRIVERSThe SMMT reports average BEV range has reached nearly 300 miles per charge — almost double the 141 miles the average UK motorist covers weekly — meaning the typical driver could go nearly a fortnight without plugging in. Research from Close Brothers Motor Finance found 74% of UK drivers travel fewer than 150 miles weekly, suggesting real-world range anxiety is increasingly at odds with actual driving habits.DUTCH SCRAPPAGE SCHEME SHIFTS TO USED EVSThe Dutch government is launching a scrappage scheme as part of a roughly one-billion-euro package, directing 52 million euros toward buyers of used electric cars who trade in older ICE vehicles of Euro 1–4 emission class. The scrappage premium is expected to be around 3,500 euros per vehicle and is targeted at low- and middle-income buyers, though income thresholds have not yet been confirmed.NISSAN STACKS 23 SOLID-STATE CELL LAYERSNissan has successfully stacked 23 cell layers into a solid-state battery prototype that meets real-world charge and discharge targets, as it works toward launching its first solid-state battery EV by fiscal year 2028. The company is partnering with US-based LiCAP Technologies for mass production using solvent-free Activated Dry Electrode technology, while broader industry momentum builds with Factorial claiming its Solstice platform can deliver up to 450 Wh/kg and over 600 miles of range, potentially reaching production vehicles as early as 2027.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Wendy Peveich, founder and blender behind Archer Eland, to talk about building a rye whiskey brand that flies the Ohio flag and still competes on flavor, proof, and value. We taste through four distinct rye expressions and dig into why rye is so hard to make, so easy to misunderstand, and so rewarding when it's blended with intent. • New Orleans Bourbon Festival reception and what “finger on the pulse” really looks like • Wendy's shift from cardiovascular nurse practitioner to whiskey industry work • Why she chooses rye over bourbon and what makes rye distillation difficult • Archer Eland's 100% rye approach and how malted rye fits the process • Solstice as the 104-proof entry bottle and the Rye-Rita cocktail idea • Aurora as the “problem child” blend and the Northern Lights naming story • Cashmere as a cask strength rye that surprises bourbon drinkers • Suede as a one-off release plus the 9-11 barrel birthday meaning • How warehouse placement and maturation timing shape flavor • Why stainless steel stops maturation and what oxidation can still do • Upcoming limited drops including 14X1B and where releases will land Ohio rye doesn't need permission from Kentucky, and Wendy Peveich is living proof. We're joined by Wendy, the founder and blender behind Archer Eland rye whiskey, fresh off the New Orleans Bourbon Festival, where she put her brand in front of drinkers who swear they “hate rye” and watched the room change sip by sip. She shares how judging spirits, traveling the festival circuit, and learning to read palates helped her refine a whiskey brand built on intention, transparency, and real value at the shelf.  Wendy's story starts in an unexpected place: she spent years as a cardiovascular nurse practitioner, then used whiskey as a creative outlet during the stress of COVID. That curiosity turned into barrel curations, market-building work, and finally a leap into entrepreneurship. We dig into why she chose 100% rye (rye plus malted rye) instead of chasing a crowded bourbon lane, what makes rye so difficult to distill, and why “green” minty notes and spice don't have to be a dealbreaker when blending is done with discipline.  Then we taste the Archer Eland lineup: Solstice as the approachable 104-proof entry point (plus a rye margarita twist), Aurora as a deeper rye-forward pour with Northern Lights inspiration, Cashmere as a cask strength curveball that can fool bourbon drinkers, and Suede as a one-off “happy accident” she refuses to recreate. We also get into warehouse maturation, how rye can swing season to season, why stainless steel stops aging, and what's coming next with limited time offerings and future finished rye innovation.  If you're into rye whiskey, craft distilling, Ohio whiskey, or simply want a smarter way to think about blending and barrel maturation, subscribe, share this with a rye skeptic, and leave us a review.

Merry Christmas! Today's episode opens by honouring the Solstice and a personal story from Ashley -- her day didn't go how she thought it would. She shares a deep expereince she had releasing an old story, a reminder that blessings often arrive in ways the mind cannot immediately recognize. From there, an episode orignally recorded for AG University, when Ashley was a guest, is shared. Ashley was invited on as a teacher after her dear friend Anna Grace experienced a spontaneous Kundalini awakening that felt intense, disorienting, and difficult to understand. What she went through is far more common than many realize, yet often misunderstood or poorly explained in spiritual spaces. In this conversation, Ashley brings clarity, grounding, and deep wisdom to the topic of Kundalini and awakening. This episode is for anyone currently awakening, those who have experienced an intense spiritual opening, or anyone seeking a clearer, more grounded understanding of spirituality beyond concepts and labels. * * * * * * * * * * * *  The North Node: A Map Back Home to Yourself : APPLY HERE Our Children Don't Believe in Santa (and Still Love Christmas) Light of the Way Substack The 12 Nights IG Post  The GUIDED Membership: Everyday Support for Your Awakening — workshops, live satsang, tools and community all in one place.
