I am delighted to welcome back Octavia Raheem, acclaimed author, rest coach and dear friend, to discuss her newest book, 'Rest is Sacred.'

Together, we explore the significance of rest, what it means to rest, and, more importantly, what it looks like to find rest in the midst of constant “busyness”.

In the teachings of The Middle Way, we learn to embrace tension and paradox. Rather than waiting for the resolution, we become skillful at residing in the middle of it all…

Join me for today’s discussion and guided meditation centered on the power we find while resting in the middle.

The Water Witch draws rituals from aquatic environments, A meditation for your daily practice - no chat beforehand, no distractions. Just you, the forest, and your breath.

The Water Witch draws rituals from aquatic environments, emphasizing adaptability, while the Swamp Witch thrives in the liminal spaces, representing untamed freedom.

Being fluid in change is the superpower of both of these witchy archetypes.

At the end, there is a 20-minute guided meditation devoted to the Water Witch, inviting all of us to sync with the rhythm of our breath and metaphorical ocean waves, fostering inner peace and presence.

The Green Witch is one who sources her sense of power and nourishment from the Earth itself. She is one who might feel deeply connected to plants and animals and finds balance with time outside.

The Green Witch likely spends more time than most contemplating the understanding that we are nature.
In our exploration of the earth and forest archetype, we look at reciprocal relationships with the earth as a source of power and grounding.

Join me for today’s talk and Green Witch-inspired meditation.

This all new meditation series is devoted to the archetype of the witch. Why, you ask? Well for starters, it is spooky season, but perhaps more importantly, because the witch archetype is especially potent for those of us grappling with reclaiming our personal power. 

Join me for today’s episode devoted to the alchemy of the kitchen witch complete with a 20-minute guided kitchen witch meditation and a custom-made kitchen witch soundscape from Nick McMahan.

Today’s episode is an invitation to settle into the deepest listening and to celebrate what we find when we move beyond the noise of humans. Today, we embark on a meditative listening experience crafted by nature field recordist Nick McMahan. 

Together, we will listen to the symphony that arises within Oregon’s quietest ecosystem.

Grab your headphones, close your eyes, and join Nick on a journey through the Basque Hills of Oregon.
