Podcasts about tending

Today we're speaking with Kathleen, a writer and single mother who transformed six acres of Vermont farmland into something much more profound than a business strategy. What began as a practical solution—making the land pay for itself after moving from affluent Marin County to rural Vermont—has evolved into a masterclass in heart-centered hospitality and the radical act of leading with generosity of spirit.From the community barn raising that erected her yurt to the profound connections she's discovered through hosting strangers, Kathleen's story challenges everything we think we know about successful hospitality. She's created a unicorn experience not through Egyptian cotton sheets or high-end finishes, but through intentionality, care, and what she calls "tending"—the art of creating spaces where people can exhale into beauty and belonging.In our conversation, we explore how suffering can deepen our capacity for connection, why clear is kind when setting boundaries, and how a generosity of spirit can transform both host and guest. We'll discuss the difference between transactional and relational hosting, why Target sheets can create luxury experiences, and how our current culture's emphasis on protection over connection might be keeping us from the very experiences we crave most.Whether you're just starting your hosting journey or questioning how to maintain heart in an increasingly competitive market, this conversation offers a different path—one that suggests the way we show up is what determines what comes back to us, and that maybe, just maybe, most people are good at their core.Instagram: @vermont.retreatWebsite: https://www.thevermontretreat.comCozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g

To conclude our tour of institutions that are connected to the MHS through our collections, we cross the street to the Fenway Victory Gardens, the oldest continuously operated victory gardens in its original location in the United States. Not only does the MHS hold the papers of this remarkable site of urban farming, but our staff also tend to a small plot amongst its 7.5 acres of land. We speak with Laura Wulf, Photographic Specialist & Digital Imaging Coordinator at the MHS, and Dennis Fiori, former President of the MHS, to learn more about their experience with the gardens. We also sit down with Chief Historian Peter Drummey to hear more about the history of victory gardens, as well as Sai Boddupalli, President of Fenway Garden Society, to learn about the Garden Society today. Learn more about episode objects here: https://www.masshist.org/podcast/season-4-episode-8-Fenway-Victory-Gardens  Email us at podcast@masshist.org. Episode Special Guests: Laura Wulf is the Photographic Specialist & Digital Imaging Coordinator at the MHS. After a career managing history institutions, the last gig being the President of the MHS, Dennis Fiori has retired to the joy of full-time gardener. Tending a plot in the Fenway for a few years was a wonderful experience he still misses. Sai Boddupalli has been a resident of the Fenway neighborhood for 15 years, a gardener at the Fenway Victory Gardens for four years, and is in his fourth year as a board member of the Fenway Garden Society, with this year being his first in the role of President.

What does it mean to winter - deeply, wisely, and together?   In this episode, we explore the idea of wintering in community - how we might not only survive the cold seasons of our lives, but move through them together.  The Wilder Kin are a collective of five women holding space for seasonal, regenerative ways of being together in nature. Together they created Wintering - a deep invitation to slow down, reflect, and reweave community through the wisdom of the dark months. There's something powerful that happens when we slow down, not in isolation, but in connection. When we make room for rest, reflection, and the kind of honest tending that can only happen in darker times. We talk about:  :: How important it is to support ourselves and each other - not just when things are easy, but when everything feels uncertain or chaotic  :: Personal winter stories and reflections about the warmth that can still be found in winter through shared meals, songs by candlelight, the quiet noticing of tiny shifts :: What becomes possible when we winter together :: How we can build our capacity to be with the endings - personal, collective, systemic :: What it means to compost the old, to let things fall, and to trust in what's becoming   This is an invitation to be with the seasons and to remember that even in winter, you are not alone.

Tending the Flame Scripture: Leviticus 6:8–13In this week's message, Pastor Sarah draws from the rarely-visited book of Leviticus to uncover profound truths hidden within ancient temple rituals. Centering on the command to keep a continuous fire burning on the altar, the sermon invites us to reflect on the fire of God's presence in our own lives—how it burns, how it flickers, and how we are called to tend it daily.We explore the theological significance of the burnt offering and how it symbolized repentance, reconciliation, and the transforming grace of God. Pastor Sarah weaves in personal stories from summer camp, testimony circles, and even theological debates between traditions, showing how the work of salvation is not a single moment, but a lifelong journey of grace.As part of our Singing Our Faith series, this message reminds us that salvation isn't transactional—it's transformational. The fire of God's love is not confined to a temple altar but lives within us, shaping us through daily acts of mercy, justice, and love. We are not only saved—we are being saved and will be saved.

My friend Darren Parry (Shoshone Leader, Adjust Professor at Utah State and University of Utah, Author) joins us to talk about his new book called “Tending the Sacred: How Indigenous Wisdom will Save the World” which talks about values from the lens of our Indigenous friends to help understand and solve today's problems. Darren talks about his own history (including his ancestors) using real life examples on how “Indigenous Wisdom” helps see and solve problems bringing us together as the same human family. I am deeply moved by Darren's insights/soft heart and work to build bridges. I'm honored to have served as Darren's companion during our missions in England 45 years ago as I had the chance to see Darren's love for the people of England (and love for me—his new junior companion). I encourage everyone to reach Darren's book—for timeless values to help bring us together. Thank you to our friends at BCC Press for publishing Darren's book.

Julia Day:- Jesus Our Teach: Tending The Garden Of Our Hearts Pt.8 by

Jacob Burns walks you through how to keep your roses thriving all summer long.

What is one thing in your life that is keeping you from experiencing freedom, joy, and a flourishing life? If you were to remove this one “weed” in your life, how would it transform your life and help you step into your God-given potential? Christie and Allie talk about the power of identifying and removing the “weeds” in our lives that hinder our spiritual and personal growth. With vulnerability, they share their own stories of overcoming challenges, including addictions and unhealthy relationships, and the importance of a relationship with Jesus as our foundation for true transformation. They close by talking about the impact of social media and alcohol on mental health, and the hard work required to cultivate a fulfilling life.   Conversation Topics Transformation begins with identifying the weeds in our lives. A relationship with Jesus is the most powerful way to be transformed. Common weeds include addictions, unhealthy relationships, and self-destructive patterns. Sin can rob us of a flourishing life, but God's grace offers freedom. Personal stories of overcoming self-centeredness and vanity. Alcohol and social media can be significant weeds that numb our pain and hinder our growth. Tending to our lives requires commitment, wisdom, and hard work. We have the agency to make changes in our lives that can bring freedom and joy. The journey towards an abundant life involves replacing negativity with beauty and goodness.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to the New Studio 02:31 Transforming Your Life: The Power of Weeding 05:05 Identifying Weeds: Common Struggles 08:16 The Role of Jesus in Transformation 10:36 Personal Stories of Weeding Out Negativity 13:46 The Impact of Alcohol and Vanity 16:55 Social Media: A Modern Weed 19:48 The Hard Work of Pulling Weeds 22:43 Tending to Your Garden of Life 25:04 The Journey to Flourishing 27:59 Closing Thoughts and Encouragement   Watch this in-studio episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/ZMk70b-iLDk  Get our Guide: "15 Social Media Boundaries to Protect Your Joy" Get Allie's book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made” Join our Love Her A'Latte campaign — make our podcast possible.

The message was delivered on Sunday, June 22nd, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Celeste Lebak, Guest Minister DESCRIPTION:  What happens when collapse doesn't look like a catastrophe—but instead wears ordinary clothes, lives behind closed doors, and passes for normal? From whispered griefs to quiet survivals, explore what it means to witness the overlooked, name the wounds we've hidden, and honor the sacred mess of being human. Can healing unsettle us more than brokenness ever did? And what if the act of tending—to ourselves, to each other—isn't just restorative, but revolutionary?

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked power of tending to your most basic needs, and how doing so becomes the foundation for real, lasting abundance.What if the wealth you're seeking: energetic, emotional, financial...flows more freely when your inner world feels safe, held, and supported?This grounded, beautiful energy activation will guide you back to the basics in the most nourishing way… So you can clear space, receive more, and experience wealth as a reflection of how well you're truly caring for you.

Healing doesn't come from fixing yourself.It comes from understanding yourself.Not just the polished parts but the scared ones, the striving ones, the parts we hide to survive.This week's guest, Sarah Jones, is a storyteller, artist, and activist known for her fearless exploration of identity. But this conversation isn't just about identity in the outer world, it's about the stories we carry inside, and the compassion it takes to hold them with care.Raised in a racially and culturally mixed household, Sarah unpacks what it means to belong to many worlds and sometimes feel at home in none. Through humor, vulnerability, and incredible emotional depth, she shares how the practice of Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her name, understand, and begin to heal her inner landscape.We explore:Why perfectionism is often just pain in disguiseWhat it means to live with “multiple parts” and how to listen to themThe link between emotional safety and self-worthHow addiction, self-abandonment, and survival can mask our basic goodnessAnd the healing power of play, creativity, and radical curiositySarah reminds us that real self-love isn't about declarations it's about attention. Tending to the parts of us that didn't get to speak, and learning to meet them with kindness.Love,Sarah Ann

In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I explore the concept of the personal economy—the energetic and practical ecosystem of your financial world—and how to work with it intentionally in times of collective uncertainty. Rather than getting swept up in fear or overwhelm about national or global economics, I invite you to turn your attention inward. We'll talk about: Why our brains aren't built to grasp large-scale economic systems How past life vows and spiritual conditioning might be influencing your money experience The importance of tending your energy body (especially the lower chakras) to support financial flow What it means to build a resilient, adaptable financial “greenhouse” that can weather outside storms And how you can stop leaking energy into collective anxiety and instead cultivate a grounded, empowered relationship with money This is a soulful, practical, and energetically savvy look at how to create a personal economy that supports your freedom, peace, and ability to live the life that's truly yours.

This week's preacher: Dr. Davis Chappell Our Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5:1-11

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center)

God's creation was never meant for us to passively occupy or consume — it's always been accompanied by a call to actively participate in its flourishing and fruitfulness. From Eden to now, stewardship is a sacred thing. It shapes creation, reveals our faith, and transforms our lives. What we tend—or fail to tend—forms us and the world around us.

In this empowering and eye-opening episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Nikki DiNezza—a true expert in the world of gut health. Whether you're a runner, a health-conscious human, or someone who's just trying to feel better in your own skin, this conversation will resonate with you.Dr. Nikki shares her fascinating journey into gut health and explains how our digestive system is so much more than what we often think. We talk about why runners, in particular, need to prioritize their gut—especially if you've ever struggled with GI distress on a long run (yep, we've all been there!).Together, we explore the vital role of fiber, why stress management is essential for your gut and nervous system, and the truth about probiotics and prebiotics. Dr. Nikki also gets real about common pitfalls—like jumping too quickly into elimination diets or getting overwhelmed by functional medicine rabbit holes.What I love about this conversation is how practical and holistic it is. We talk about mindful eating, training your gut (just like you train your body!), and tuning in to what your body needs—without falling into restriction or fear.

"God not only created a garden for us, but within us..." - Nicole BoydWelcome to the first part of our season finale! Nicole is sharing over the next couple of weeks and we are so excited to dive into this topic of tending our hearts. God's creation mirrors what He created in us, both physically and spiritually. He not only created a Garden for us, but a Garden in us--a place where we meet with Him and enjoy whole and complete relationship with him. As you read scripture, you begin to see that God's plan is all about redeeming us and bringing us back to this place that we enjoyed in the Garden--to be a delight to Him and have closeness with Him once again!Show Notes: Youtube Short by Dr. Anti Phillips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s28Vh6-wsIEGenesis 2:8-91 Corinthians 14:14-151 Corinthians 2:16Romans 8:62 Timothy 1:9Support the showEmail: sheispodcast@refugecity.churchInstagram: she_is_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheispodcastrccYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sheispodcast4645

Dharma talk given by Lama Matthew Palden Gocha, May 25, 2025. Music by Barefoot Bran Music.

In this message, we explore what it means to be simply devoted to Jesus in our spiritual lives. While salvation initiates our life in the Spirit—bringing us from death to life—it is our responsibility to feed and tend that life. True devotion is not driven by feelings or outcomes, but by daily practices that root us in Christ. When we nurture what God has started, our spirit grows strong—regardless of the season.

Dharma talk given by Daniel Scharpenburg, April 27, 2025. Music by Barefoot Bran Music.

Hey there darlings, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today's episode is one I recorded as much for myself as for you. It's a message I wish 22-year-old me could have heard—back when my dreams felt so big and my limits felt so loud. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what you can't do, this episode is a gentle reminder that there's sacred strength in doing what you can. I'm talking about tending your life like a garden—not in panic, not in perfection, but in presence. Whether you're in a season of limitations, raising babies, or just navigating a world that feels a bit too urgent, you're not alone. There is wisdom in your limits. There is grace in your pace. And there is peace in choosing to be rooted right where you are. This conversation touches on preparation, presence, performance, and the quiet rebellion of slow living. Let it encourage you to stop striving, to tend with care, and to trust that what's within your reach is enough. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always, I bless you until next time.

This message by Leo Parris was preached during the breakout session at our Leaders Retreat on May 3, 2025.

I woke up some years ago… and I ain't sure I ever went back to sleep. Time got slippery. Lost its shape. Like water in your hands—no matter how tight you squeeze, it runs down the cracks, leaves you cold … Continue reading →

Welcome jet pilot, pastor, and author Ricky Brown to unpack the five “hazardous attitudes” every church leader must watch out for—straight from FAA training and powerfully applied to ministry. Ricky draws on his dual experience as a commercial pilot and church planter to share practical, soul-tending wisdom for avoiding burnout and moral failure. Ricky's new book, The 5 Hazardous Attitudes: Ways to Win the War Within, breaks these down through powerful fables and life lessons. Greg and Ricky dive deep into the signs of anti-authority, invulnerability, macho attitudes, impulsivity, and resignation, and how each can destroy ministry, marriages, and leadership if not confronted.

Lately, I felt this deep pull to get away—not to escape life, but to find something underneath all the noise. So I packed up and took my first solo trip to a cabin that's been in my wife's family for generations, tucked right up against a river. No Wi-Fi. No distractions. Just silence, cold water, firewood, and whatever was waiting for me in the quiet. In this episode, I share what it was like to face my nerves, to find stillness in the middle of fear, and to reconnect with something I didn't know I'd been missing. There's a bald eagle involved. There's a soap-in-the-river moment. There's a whole lot of wrestling with what it means to "find your wild." And maybe, just maybe, an invitation for you to find yours too. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Clemenz With a Z. If this episode stirred something in you—if you've been feeling the pull toward stillness, space, or your own version of the wild—I hope you'll listen to that. Even if it's just five minutes of quiet today. Start there. Your support keeps these honest conversations going. If you're new here, or if you've been riding with me for a while—thank you.

In episode 131 of Grow Yourself Up Cath was joined by Dr. Jenny Turner. Jenny and Cath had a wide ranging and rich discussion covering the following: Jenny's path to motherhood and the birth of her son, shame, relationships, the challenges of shifting cycles in parenting, when perimenopause and postpartum collide and how we often have to dig really deep in motherhood and much more.Jenny is a clinical psychologist and founder of 'Mind Body Soul Psychology'. She is based in North Yorkshire, and works online with people from all over the UK. Jenny is also a mum to a four year old son.With an extensive NHS background in child and adolescent mental and physical health services. Jenny is now passionate about supporting Mothers, a central theme of the work she offers is how we can all get our own needs met, while we are caring for so many other people, Jenny believes that the care we receive, our boundaries, and our own healing are all fundamental to the care we offer as mothers, and to our enjoyment of the process of mothering.She is also passionate about helping mothers to navigate through the emotions that society too often (wrongly!) tells us 'we're not meant to feel' as Mothers, such as resentment, ambivalence, anger, rage, trauma, shame, guilt, grief, exhaustion, and burnout.Jenny offers integrative therapy to her clients - She draws largely on systemic, societal, psychodynamic, compassion-based and body-based, trauma-informed models (such as polyvagal theory). As well as the therapeutic model of shame-resilience developed from Brené Brown's research.You can connect with Jenny on her website listed here: www.mindbodysoulpsychology.co.ukOr, Instagram: @drjennypsychologistIf you're enjoying this podcast.

There are moments in life that ask everything of us. When the ground feels uncertain and the future unclear, it can feel impossible to keep moving forward with an open heart. And yet, it is inside of these very moments that something extraordinary can happen. We discover a deeper faith, a more resilient truth, and a kind of love for ourselves that wasn't fully accessible before. When we choose not to numb or distract, but to stay with what's here, we begin to build something steady and sacred within us. Suzanne is here with us today. She's been walking through a series of deep losses — twelve loved ones in two years — and facing the unfolding reality of a chronic illness that's affecting her eyesight. And yet, within all of that, there is a profound spiritual presence inside of her. Her trust in her path, her connection to the Divine, and her unwavering devotion to her purpose are breathtaking to witness. Even while she holds real fears and pain in her human experience, she is also choosing to move toward her soul. In this reading, we speak about what it means to live in two worlds: the physical world where grief and limitation exist, and the soul world that continues to expand. Through the metaphor of a tree, Spirit shows Suzanne the importance of tending to the youngest parts of herself — those still asking to be seen and integrated — and reminds her that the challenges she faces are also gateways to her next becoming. We also talk about what it means to truly integrate rather than release, and how the parts we often try to shed may in fact be holding our greatest wisdom. If you've been walking through something hard, I hope this session reminds you of the strength already alive within you.

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of LIFE for us all.   You can find more resources at the links below…   Website: http://www.SarahNoble.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakened.embodied.empowered/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awakened.embodied.empowered Substack: https://snoble.substack.com/ Email: Hello@SarahNoble.com

Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:32-5Wyatt called to Mom as he raced down the stairs and toward the back door. "I'm heading out to my garden to weed." Wyatt had his own garden in the backyard and was looking forward to caring for his plants.Mom stuck her head out of the kitchen. "Can you take William with you, please? He's been wanting to go outside all day."Wyatt sighed. Taking William with him would make tending his garden go much slower with all the questions he would ask. Wyatt was tempted to complain, but thought better of it. Mom needed to take care of baby Rose since she was teething and feeling miserable. Besides, William could be cute sometimes. "William," Wyatt said, "do you want to come with me to the garden?""Yes!" William shrieked with delight. "Will you help me put on my shoes? Why do we have to go to the garden? What are we going to do there?"Wyatt sighed but smiled as he kneeled down to buckle William's sandals. "We need to go to the garden to pull weeds and care for the plants." William paused a moment, but soon thought of more questions. "How do we care for plants? Why do we pull weeds?" Wyatt continued to answer William's questions as they headed outside. "We care for the plants by checking to see what they need. They may need water or extra support. If we don't pull the weeds, the plants won't have room to grow." He knew there would be many more questions before the day was done. Mom and Dad had told him that asking questions was how William learned and that answering them kindly and carefully helped him grow and showed him God's love. The kind of love Jesus shows us, Wyatt thought. Love that is always patient as He helps us learn and grow.While William paused to chase a butterfly, Wyatt realized something. Showing patience and kindness to William wasn't that different from taking care of his plants. He decided he would keep tending William and do what was needed to help him grow.–Myrical Barton How About You?Do you get impatient when younger kids ask lots of questions? Does it annoy you when friends or classmates don't understand something? Remember that Jesus is patient and loving toward you and that you show His love to others by treating them the same way. Be patient with others and do all you can to help them grow.Today's Key Verse:Be patient, bearing with one another in love. (NIV) (Ephesians 4:2)Today's Key Thought:Be patient and help others grow
