Victoria Bennett, Wild Woman, Poet and Author of All My Wild Mothers
Season 2 · Episode 47
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 • Duration 01:27:07
In this episode, we are simply delighted to be with our beloved bliss sister and dear friend, Victoria Bennett (Vik) who is a poet, author, creative activist, and Wild Woman.
When not juggling writing, full-time care, and genetic illness, she can be found where the wild weeds grow…within ALL MY WILD MOTHERS: her debut memoir of motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden.
Hear the mystic tale of a poet in northern England awakened by Troubadours in the middle of the night.
We dance on tables... and answer the call to free the wild woman in us.
We find when we are our authentic selves in the world, we can create anything and that’s when the magic starts!
Find the small thing worth the gift of your hope. And what is courage but hope mixed with love.
We plant a herb garden and get more than blooms. We are given myths, healing and wise companions on our journey.
We see what can grow in the broken ground of grief and find that life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them.
Some seeds require disturbance in order to grow. If we try to cut out the things that hurt and that are difficult, then we also cut out all the joy.
When we garden wild, we are celebrating a connection, a companionship, an honoring of our place in a vital biodiverse environment.
We blow the dandelion with its seeds of wishes out into the world!
LIFE arrives, reaching for the light, bathing in tears, reckless and determined to grow wild and lush over what was once barren stone.
Her writing spans non-fiction, memoir, poetry and games-based storytelling. It was long listed for the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize (2019), and the Penguin WriteNow (2020) programme, and was a winner of a Northern Debut Award (2020) for non-fiction from New Writing North, and an early extract won the Mother’s Milk Writing Award 2017.
Vik founded Wild Women Press in 1999 to support rural women writers in her community and curates the global Wild Woman Web project, an inclusive online space focusing on nature, connection, and creativity.
Vik shares, “…stone by stone, seed by seed, life grows not in spite of the broken places, but because of them…”
Join us as we look forward to a story of radical hope, to reclaiming our wild spaces and letting the light into those broken places as we transform the rubble into a garden with her!

Bill Philipps, Intuitive Inner Wisdom Guide, Psychic Medium and Author of Soul Searching
Season 2 · Episode 46
Wednesday, May 3, 2023 • Duration 01:15:17
In this episode, we are honored to be in the radiant presence of Internationally Renowned Psychic Medium and author of SOUL SEARCHING, Bill Philipps.
Bill is the author of Expect the Unexpected, Signs from the Other Side, and most recently Soul Searching : Tune In to Spirit and Awaken Your Inner Wisdom.
His life’s mission is to help people deal with the grief of losing loved ones by bringing through validations, evidential information, and beautiful messages from Spirit, which heal and bring a sense of peace.
Explore with us as we find how being committed to the light and to service becomes a saving grace
Discover that our inner child is the essence of who we are...it has access to our higher self...to our intuitive self
Our child self is the threshold that connects us to everything else in the universe
When we find forgiveness we are unshackling ourselves from suffering
PRAY it Forward- we can be of service to others by being an answer to their prayer
It's part of our DNA to be grateful...when we live in a state of gratitude we are aligned with spirit
We go on a spiritual scavenger hunt decoding signs and symbols from our loved ones as they are connecting to us from beyond
Recall that we are all connected to a spiritual web around us of influence, inspiration and connectivity
We're all here to understand what unconditional love feels like for ourselves
Welcome to the era of deeply empathic people
Bill conducts individual and small- and large-group readings and has appeared on high-profile television programs like Dr. Phil and Access Hollywood.
Bill says, “connecting with our higher self helps us navigate and flourish in a world that is becoming increasingly complex. Such a connection takes significant work and a lot of soul searching, but we have the power to make it through conscious choice. It is up to us.”
In this episode, get ready to root and rise up with frontline Community Organizer, Ritualist and Herbalist, Devorah Brous!
Devorah is the creator of fromsoil2soul. She consults, writes, formulates herbal remedies, and gardens with individuals and institutions, designing regenerative practices for soul care, community care, and earth care.
With a focus on ancient and emergent practices, she is deeply rooted at the nexus of burnout and renewal. Dev offers groups and individuals online Sabbaticals to unearth regenerative practices for gardening our inner and outer landscapes.
She has rooted in the garden for over 25 years, growing community food sovereignty, environmental justice, and land rights.
We meet in a 3rd space where the alchemy happens in our ecosystem.
We allow ourselves to fall into the rich cauldron of fallowing.
Find that magic takes place when we surrender and allow the spaciousness all while dreaming audaciously.
Remember that regeneration is coming when we give back more than we take.
Reaffirm the oneness of life and our ability to listen and hear our sacred oneness.
Discover the antidote to burnout.
We don't focus on fighting what's wrong but instead on feeding what we believe.
We can we best show up as catalysts and synergists for our communities when we cross the bridge from soil to soul.
We root and rise!
We found parallels with the work of Caravan of the Heart and Devorah's work...
Taking care of yourself / Shabbat: Soul-Care
Taking care of others / Jubilee! Community-Care
Taking care of sacred earth / Sabbatical: Earth-Care
Devorah says, “I guide folks in ancient ways of tending the soil of our lives growing in tandem with nature's cycles, fallowing to unearth the medicine of the land, and giving back more than we glean." Today we look forward to growing in tandem with her and to the goodness we will glean in our time shared…”
Devorah is a TEDx speaker. Food Champion Award, LA City Council Member David Ryu, on Food Day. Energy Globe Award, Energy Global Foundation. International Peace Prayer Day Award, 3HO Foundation.

In this episode, we are ecstatic to be with and in the sublime and divine presence of Creator, Artist, Author and Podcaster, our bliss sister and dear friend, Mary H. Reaman.
Following the call of her longing, Mary has pursued unchartered territories and taken on a variety of roles over the years including pastor, founder, public speaker, teacher, preacher, creator of ceremonies, author, artist, and podcaster.
We invite the gift that prayer is a friendly talk with God
We are reminded that the greatest love we can give each other is in seeing and calling forth our goodness.
Be baptized in the knowledge that we are ALL already whole.
Remember that playing is praying with creative vitality. It is crucial to keep play incorporated in our lives...its where wonder is, where awe lives and imagination resides!

We allow our unconscious to become conscious by opening a door in our imagination and allowing ourselves to walk through.

Explore why there is a ticker tape parade for your anxiety.
Be a soul adventurer following the clues the spirit leaves.
Recall that it is within the silence of our souls that we find healing, insight, compassion and peace.
Go to where I AM is all that can be said...
After 25 years of honing her skills as a pastor, teacher, and preacher, Mary has redirected her attention to the arts and healing, believing that societal and cultural change, even the possibility for world peace, as well as the desire for peace in our relationships HAS to begin with healing the wars, disease, and dissonance within ourselves.
To that end Mary offers spiritual companioning, art as meditation opportunities, reiki and energy work, spiritual development classes and workshops, threshold ceremonies, and more to facilitate healing and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. She also shares her insights on her podcast, Watering Whole with Mary. Mary says, Personal Website
Perdita Finn, Compelling Writer, Ancestral Healer and Guide on the Radical Path of the Divine Feminine
Season 1 · Episode 35
Wednesday, November 23, 2022 • Duration 01:23:16
In this episode, we are grateful to be in the presence of the compelling writer, time traveler and friend, Perdita Finn.
She is the co-author of The Reluctant Psychic and, with her husband Clark Strand, The Way of The Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary and Take Back the Magic: Getting to Know the Dead.
We are encouraged to not rush for the answers and to step into the mystery.
Explore how womb and tomb are so closely attuned.
Find out how Bourbon, Dark Chocolate and a furry white cat saved her Mom's life.
Be present at the moment of two hearts' cataclysmic convergence in the portal of a Hungarian pastry shop.
We are asked, “What is the one story you would leave behind for people to know about you?”
We are living in a river of prayer that flows to us and through us…pull on a thread and wait for the tug on a heartstring.
What if we could truly feel the souls of our family in the living things around us?
What if the dead were right here and just waiting to be of service?
The dead most want to teach us is that we have all the time in the world because we are all in this dance forever.
A longtime devotee of the earth, Perdita has studied with mystics and shamans, Zen masters and naturalists, but her greatest teachers have been the dead themselves. She is the co-founder of The Way of the Rose, an international rosary fellowship dedicated to the earth and the Lady by any name you like to call Her.
She says, “What if our souls were nothing but threads piercing the veil first one way and then another, sewn back and forth eternally? What if the veil didn’t separate the worlds but was the world—the whole fabric of existence? From this side, we see only the knots, the tangles, the threads cut short too soon. What if we could feel the long thread of our souls entangling with other threads? What if we could follow a red thread through to the other side of the tapestry as it becomes a dress, a jewel, a rose, a pair of lips, a heart? What if we could glimpse the picture of our lives from the other side? That’s what the dead do, of course—they see at last what life is really for. To touch that reality we have only to pull on a thread and wait for the tug on a heartstring.”

In this episode, we feel the all embracing, healing power of meaningful connection...

We invite you to share what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
We become pencils in the hand of God writing love letters to everyone we encounter.
We awaken to love for ourselves, each other and the whole world.
Accept and extend the invitation for meaningful connection in every moment with everyone and this Earth. Embrace connection and be embraced. We embrace you! You are loved! You are love!

Feel how all around us Ancestors are acting as Guardian Angels

In this episode, we are enchanted to engage with Maia Toll, a seeker of magic and award-winning author of the bestselling Wild Wisdom Series which has inspired readers worldwide to explore their human nature through the magical lens of the natural world.
We discover a bookshelf in a willow tree
We enter a world where land is sentient, and the stones have stories
We learn that you can set magic in motion and magic... is everywhere
Through the Lookingglass, we see that we are in control of how we perceive our surroundings
Once we recognize that everything is alive, we start moving through the world differently
We realize…why not choose to believe in magic? It is so much more fun & interesting
We begin to believe that we are a thread in a much larger tapestry and ask ourselves,” what is the purpose of my thread in this weaving?”
We surrender into Connection and find a doorway into Communion
We shift the focus of knowing from our head to our heart
In the natural realm, we realize there's something beyond our interpretation of all these things
We learn that crafting a life takes a lifetime

To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world.

We get a glimpse of what we it means to be a Mother, an Artist, a Filmmaker and Activist while reclaiming our Identity
We discover what happens when you add spice, a bit of voodoo & magic to what is given
We find that with Honor comes great responsibility and that Warriors flow through Love’s veins
Don't play small. Tell your truth and stand tall
Look fear in the face and know that it does not define you - it refines you
See that Your journey is more than your shadows and that the light is how we find each other in the dark
Explore how you have to trace the family line into dark alleys to find exits for new generations…
Don’t lose sight that you are worthy, you are Divine

LOVE IS SPOKEN HERE
“Realizing that life is about transformation means never resisting development at the deepest level. And that requires a profound receptivity on our part - because we can only change the world if we change ourselves, if we can love ourselves unconditionally, and more often than not, hold a stance of uncertainty and humility when it comes to understanding others and the game of Life in which we find ourselves. And in order to do that we have to develop a spirituality for the long haul.”
