It is a place where there is a great degree of tolerance for ambiguity—that the masculine paradigm conditions us to believe is a problem to be solved. The feminine heart space sees ambiguity as a higher truth, paradox as a vast space of truth. This heart has the capacity, because it is so vast, to hold seemingly contradictory propositions." – Mirabai StarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the BHNN Guest Podcast, East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner discuss the role of song in psychedelics and explore how the ethereal can be accessed through music.In this episode, East Forest and Marisa Radha Weppner discuss:The many ways we can arrive at non-ordinary statesThe power of intention when making musicHow music can act as a bridge to the etherealHow music can influence emotional states and brain statesMusic as a birthright and how anyone can be and is a musicianThe exponential growth rate of societyReclaiming creativity as a necessary technologyPsychedelics and music as propellers into a trance stateTruly giving ourselves over to the musicHaving a guide or therapist to work withThe impact of intention and set and settingAbout East Forest:East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. Since 2008, East Forest's “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion. Known for being the first musician to collaborate with Ram Dass, his latest endeavor is the feature-length film Music for Mushrooms, a narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community.“If you think about psychedelic ceremonies across human history, almost all of them were guided by songs and music. The same thing is used in the background of stores, birthday parties, weddings, working out, music is everywhere. But, it is the one thing that guides a ceremony typically. It could be been dancing, it could've been you always walk, no, it's music. It's showing us the power and potential of how it's deeply connected to non-dual, to the mystery itself, it's a kind of bridge.” – East ForestAbout Marisa Radha Weppner:Marisa Radha Weppner is a mom, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, DJ, teacher, minister, psychedelic therapist, community organizer, life coach, podcaster, and entrepreneur.

Now, it's become something different that we are or aren't, that we relegate to a certain subset of the population. But I would say we all are musicians and part of our awakening takes us back to that.” – Marisa Radha WeppnerAbout Jackie Dobrinska:Jackie Dobrinska is the Director of Education, Community & Inclusion for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and the current host of Ram Dass' Here & Now podcast.

When you think about the menopausal transition, what comes up?I'm genuinely curious actually... Is it the end of the cycling years, no more bleeding?Or the hot flashes, low libido, dry vaginal tissues, maybe even need to focus more on bone or heart health?Does it feel liberating or like something you're dreading?I know some folks here are already well beyond their menopausal years (and I love that you're here), and others are barely even thinking yet about this transition. And that's the thing, many of us don't begin to even think about this time of our lives until we start to experience the symptoms that make it obvious. Today's guest, herbalist and homeopath Seraphina Capranos speaks about menopause from the lens of the Wise Woman Tradition which approaches this transitional time as something to prepare for by focusing on deep nourishment, nervous system and adrenal health. While of course alleviating symptoms is important, there's also an art to preventing them even occurring in the first place. So many of us run ourselves to the ground, trying hard to keep up with a world that glorifies over-extending and production over rest and replenishment. And let's just say, that go-go-go energy is the opposite of what we need to be doing as we head into our transitional years. Instead, we need to be caretaking ourselves.Seraphina shares about some of her favorite herbs to incorporate into this time of life (and before), and also a whole different perspective on what's possible as we pass through this transition - how instead of an entry into the elder years, it's actually often a time of new beginnings and empowered action.Listen to learn:how Seraphina braids together herbalism, homeopathy and ritual into her workthe power of touching your own breasts/chestwhat the foundations of the Wise Woman Tradition arethe Wise Woman approach to health care (and how integrative it is)ways to prepare your body and mind and spirit for menopausea few herbs Seraphina thinks are key for most of us in this timewhy menopause is not typically the entry to "crone" years in modern timesResources:Todays shownotes: Get links (and discount) to Seraphina's programs + workFree guide: 10 key herbs for hormonal healthEpisode 37: Easing into menopause w Dana LaVoieEpisode 40: Herbal spotlight on schisandraEpisode 70: Is it perimenopause?Episode 86: Herbal spotlight on ashwagandhaIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode, I interview Amy Dawson of Yin Dew Herbal Medicine. Amy has a beautiful story to share filled with dreams, connection and loving support from those around her. She had planned a home birth with a midwife, but ended up transferring to the hospital when there was meconium found in the amniotic fluid after her water broke. Rather than focusing on the disappointment of things not going the way she had planned, she focuses on the blessing of being exactly where she needed to be.  Amy is a clinical herbalist & medicine maker rooted in the Wise Woman tradition of healing. She is a co-founder at Yin Dew with her husband where they make beautiful custom herbal formulas & specialty blends using Western & Chinese herbs. They provide their fine crafted herbal medicines at their own practices & formulate or blend herbal medicines for practitioners in other traditional & modern medicines. "I find an important aspect to my own health & relationship with plants is aligning with the seasonal rhythms of the Earth. Plants grow and evolve, like us, in this rhythm. When I receive plants, they remind me of this natural dance that I am born & live within. They show me how to merge with the spiral of life, live in harmony & find balance through the ebbs & flows of my life. I enjoy the sensorial experiences plants give, their mystery & how they always reflect rise & fall so beautifully. Plants are the sweetest reminder of who is really in charge & they are always improvising with us, with me. Merging the Wise Woman Tradition with the myriad ways of nurturing relationship with Earth makes working with plants a journey that keeps me evolving to deeper parts of myself, which helps me continue breaking the barriers to what is possible."

In 2014, The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that global soils were degrading at an alarming rate and predicted that there might only be 60 harvests left before the world's topsoil and soil fertility was basically eradicated. While there is some disagreement around this assessment, most will concur that continuing soil degradation at current rates will further exacerbate climate change and exhaust our global capacity to grow food for the world's burgeoning 7 billion plus population. We are losing the world's topsoil at an alarming rate of 30 football fields of soil per minute, which can largely be attributed to modern farming practices, especially the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, as well as widespread deforestation. This episode explores ecological succession as a means to foster our deeper understanding of the cycle of & purpose behind regenerating soil. Given the state of our planet, understanding succession, can aid us in becoming more attuned and aware stewards, and more effective participants in restoring ecosystems, increasing biodiversity, balancing the hydrological cycle, and nourishing the soil food web. Linda Gibbs is owner and principal land manager of The Gardens at the world famous Woodshed Recording Studio in Malibu [https://WoodshedRecording.com/].

In this episode, Jessica welcomes the first guest to share their story on the Luminary Woman Podcast, Nicole Renee Matthews. Nicole is a mother, partner, herbalist, and apprentice for Susun Weed of the Wise Woman Way — and also happens to be one of Jessica's best friends. Nicole comes on to share her story as it intersects with lifestyle medicine, story medicine, the embrace of her instinctual nature, and the ongoing remembrance of the Wise Woman Way. At the heart of the conversation is the freedom that awaits us when we stop pathologizing our bodies, our childhoods, our intimate relationships, and our suffering, and finally let our hearts rest with no answer to the question why. This episode covers: The Heroic Tradition vs. the Wise Woman Tradition as it relates to wellness, healing, and relationships. How the heroic model uses story as self-punishment and teaches us to relates to ourselves as projects or failures. Daily rhythms to cultivate heart-resonance with the plant world. The importance of extending compassion to our animal selves. Nicole's story as to how letting go of her attempts to save her relationship saved her relationship. If Nicole's story resonated with you and you'd like to connect or learn more about how to get started with learning the Wise Woman Way, you can find Nicole on Instagram at: @nnrlu If this episode inspired you to come on the podcast and share your story, please email Jessica at: jessicaroodvoets@gmail.com For more information regarding Jessica's programs or her upcoming Rewild Retreat to Peru next February, please visit: luminarywoman.com

I spent the weekend listening to the wonderful herbalist and Wise Woman healer, Susun Weed, about the Seven Rivers of Healing. Each week in my midwifery program, we have to give a short presentation on a specific topic, and this week I was assigned the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing and how it applies to birth, which I was excited for because Susun Weed has such an insightful way with the words she uses to speak about the Wise Woman Traditions and they are also very steeped in Chinese philosophy and medicine, one of my other favorite topics to study.In fact, as I was going through her books again and listening to one of her Seven Rivers of Healing courses, I was inspired to create a mini Wise Woman Tradition course in my own online childbirth education program. So I just wanted to share some of this inspiring information with you here so it can serve you on your pregnancy and birth journey as well while I work on developing this new mini-course to provide another perspective of health and birth and how to own your own birth experience.

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with JF Peters. "I believe I paint to help preserve the beauty of nature. My creative process would not be possible without this clear, meaningful purpose. I guess you might say, this is my spiritual trip, to which I am totally commited.  The images of my paintings begin in my mind. They appear as a blend of memory (beautiful places I've experienced) and imagination. After a few years, the image calls me to the point that I begin to slowly and methodically, bring the painting out onto the canvas. When the calling ceases, the painting is born. Nature is my guide and the vehicle for my creation."
