Hiya queridas,
How did last week’s Gate of Beginnings treat you? Did you decide which seeds of passion you want to tenderly nurture and care for as they grow? Did you start anything new? Let me know!
I apologize for the belated release of this episode: I was in rural Colorado at a hot spring finishing up my breathwork facilitator practicum and the internet was sloowwww! I had an amazing week of new beginnings; meeting lots of wonderful new people, soaking in the healing waters of Joyful Journeys, and finally getting my official certification to facilitate guided trauma-informed breathwork journeys. With everything that happened last week, it really was a perfect week to tune out of the social media/news cycle and tune into both my inner world and holding space for other people’s emotional releases and deep processing.
My partner Jackson and our daughter came to “Breath Camp” with me, and it was beautiful to integrate my family into my professional world- (thanks for your support, loves!) It was Jackson’s birthday on Monday July 15th, and we had a chance to record a late-night conversation about the themes of this season. Jackson was born with 3 planets in Cancer in his birth chart, so we chatted about the energies of Cancer, the Cancer-Capricorn axis that will be highlighted with tomorrow’s full moon, and his Human Design/I’Ching sun, Gate 62: The Gate of Details.
Jackson is an audio engineer at Spirit River Sound, a body and energy worker, and a nature photographer, and all of his work artistically taps into the cycles of time and the flow of nature that always exist around us. The way he plays with light, sound, and energy has been deeply inspiring since the day I met him, and I’m so excited bring you this conversation to get a taste of his depth and brilliance.
Thanks so much for listening, and I’ll see y’all again next Monday for our regularly scheduled forecast as the sun leaves Cancer and enters Leo!
All my love as we continue to navigate a rapidly changing world, together.
Alison
