#185 The wild edge of sorrow // grief after sudden death20 Aug 202400:51:08

This episode is dedicated to my mum Marina, who passed away suddenly at the end of July. She was incredible - resilient, creative, full of life and hands down the most loving person I know. She taught me how to live a good life full of pleasure and connection even in late stage capitalism. I had 38 years with her and am so proud to call her my mum. 

The wonderful Narinder Bazen joined me for this conversation to talk about grief after sudden death, saying goodbye in the best way we can and staying connected to the present moment in a mammal body while we have one foot on the other side. 

The title of this episode is a nod to one of my favorite books - The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Frances Weller. 

Thank you for listening and sending some love to my mum,

Yarrow

#184 What I am reading & how I am staying grounded this summer23 Jul 202400:25:54

The world is a lot, but then what's new? In this episode I wanted to share a few ways in which I am staying grounded this summer, including excellent book selection, gentle rituals and activism that is doable and kind on my nervous system. I hope it's a helpful space for you to think about your own summer and orient towards the pleasure & joy that is available to you.

Here is info about the tech day I mentioned: https://pinkwellstudio.com/magic/

Thank you so much for listening!

Love,

#175 How do we find our creative voice?25 Dec 202300:19:05

Perhaps an odd day to publish a new episode, but I thought this might be nice to share today for anyone who also feels a little overwhelmed with the festivities at a time of so much uncertainty and upheaval.


Finding and exploring one's creative voice is something I have been thinking about a lot this year - I explored stripping back the media overwhelm, identifying core messages and symbolism and, as always, unraveling perfectionism.


I hope this episode gives you something interesting to think about too!

#84 Receiving ancestral blessings & tending to our grief with Adrienne Sloan05 Jun 202000:46:30

Hey sweet listeners, thank you so much for joining me for another episode! It's my honour to bring you a conversation with Adrienne Sloan, who spoke so beautifully about things that really matter to me right now. I hope this episode will bring you some joy and comfort as you go about your day.  I also want to say that I am in full support of the protests against police violence and that I hope 2020 will be a year of lasting change beyond what we can imagine right now. I know my work as a white person isn't done by just naming my solidarity and I'm committed to showing up in better ways now and in the future. I'm currently completing my book Rituals and am therefore taking a break from social media, but I'll be back soon.  Here is some of what Adrienne and I talked about:  

  • Small rituals for daily connection with our ancestors  
  • Staying present with our grief  
  • De-centering human relationships as a way to deepen our sense of belonging  
  • Cultivating practices for times of quarantine 
  • Finding comfort in uncertainty  
  • How Adrienne understands animism  

Adrienne Sloan is a child of the 70’s, a wanderer between worlds who holds space for visionaries and creatives to embody connection with their ancestors and their deep-time kin. She is dedicated to the unraveling of human-centered narratives through exploration in the imaginal realms. Adrienne is the granddaughter of Jean Lorraine, Elizabeth Ann, Dorothy, Netta, Jenny, and Paloma. https://adriennesloan.com/

#78 Exploring tarot for self-reflection and creativity with Kathleen Callahan20 Mar 202001:04:22

Hey everyone, I hope you are safe and able to stay home. As promised I am sending more podcast episodes your way so that we can least connect through the cosmic internet vibes. This Sunday I am also hosting a donation based grief circle - we'll do some gentle breathwork, meditate together, journal and do some self-massage to ease the lack of touch. You can learn more, sign up and invite your friends here: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/grief-tending/ I really loved talking to Kathleen for this episode and have received several tarot readings from her that I still treasure and listen to lots (they are currently on sale for $25). Kathleen is truly magical, very real, very creative and very wonderful. Here is what we talked about:  

  • - Tracing our journey through life with tarot journals  
  • - Transforming harmful patterns in our lives  
  • - Creating a tarot deck and being in creative flow 
  • - The reality of building a small business under capitalism and worrying about money 
  • - Working with the memories we carry in our bodies 

Although she thinks of herself as an eternal student, Kathleen has been working with the tarot for the past 19 years. Her father was a tarot reader in the 1970s but kept it secret from her until she bought her first set of cards at the initiatory age of 13. He refused to teach her the language of the cards, so she spent many years finding her own way with them. She has taught herself plant medicine and astrology over the course of the last 7 years, and now weaves her love for tarot, astrology, and plant medicine together in her work to support transformation in herself and clients. She is also trained in IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) and Reiki to nourish the space she holds for others. By learning to find the voice within after all these years, she now teaches others how to find their own inner wisdom and that we can be our own healer. https://www.daughterofwands.com Kathleen's tarot readings on sale: https://www.daughterofwands.com/offerings-1/recorded-tarot-reading https://www.instagram.com/daughter.of.wands/

#74 Reclaiming dance and creative expression with Jess Grippo21 Feb 202000:43:18

Hey everyone, happy Friday! I'm loving this episode so much and I hope you will too! Jess Grippo is so fun and wonderful to be around and she has really inspired me to finally f*cking dance again. In this giggly interview we talked about the following, amongst many other groovy things:  

  • - The joy of dancing in your own way and why it's so liberating 
  • - Letting go of ideas about what a dance practice should look like 
  • - Overcoming body image issues 
  • - Creative processes that are joyful and easy 

Jess Grippo is a dancer, performer, writer, creativity coach, and the author of Dance With This Book. After leaving her ballet career and being distanced from the dance world for years, she started making dance videos alone in her room. These DIY expressions would become the catalyst for reviving her creative expression and later transitioning her career back into dance - but this time, in her own way. Since then, she's been invited to speak and perform at TEDxNYU, Lincoln Center's Dance On Camera Festival, the New York Comedy Club, and more. Her programs and videos have been helping people for years to reclaim dance, feel at home in their bodies, and revive their creative expression.

#73 Self acceptance, love and bathing yourself in softness13 Feb 202000:21:09

Loved folks, I could not help but record a mushy solo episode for valentine's day. Sorry, not sorry! It's a pep talk on luxurious embodiment practices, easy rituals, documenting life and remembering that healing is always political. Wether you hate this day, celebrate it or ignore it I hope you can make yourself feel like you're bathing in softness sometimes and that we can talk and dream about deconstructing the binary of self- and community care together.

#72 Reclaiming pleasure and wild unshaming with Luna Dietrich31 Jan 202000:58:35

Hey friends,

happy new moon!

This particularly beautiful Friday feels perfect to bring you an interview with Luna Dietrich, also known as the pussy witch <3 It’s been wonderful and inspiring to talk to them about:

  • Growing out of being a people pleaser
  • How Luna changed their name and married the Earth
  • What it means to Luna to be an ecosexual
  • Why pleasure matters so much and how we can reclaim it

I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did <3

Luna Dietrich (she/they), aka Pussy Witch, is a pleasure centered sex educator, writer, healer and virgo-queer-femme-boss. Raised catholic and a born people pleaser, sex hasn’t always felt shame free for Luna.

At 14 years old, Luna “lost her virginity” (virginity is a myth) and was slut shamed and outcast. In college, she fell into a long term, safe monogamous relationship, losing all sexual desire, believing she was broken. It wasn’t until she discovered queer sex that she learned how much pleasure could be felt in the body, rather than sex just being an exchange for male attention and closeness.

With a focus on trauma-informed, comprehensive, pleasure-based sex ed, Luna has led over 1,000 students through her online courses. Her passion is helping recovering people pleasers and exhausted activists release shame and weave pleasure into their entire lives.

Hey wonderful beings, happy Friday - almost new moon - finally Scorpio season!  I hope this finds you well and that my conversation with the wonderful Jennifer Gleeson Blue feels as exciting and insightful to you as it did to me! It was really good to talk and wonder about natural movements, about patterns and how we are holding them in our bodies and about all the ways in which we can expand and grow into being our true selves.

  • - How modern ways of movement are impacting our biology and emotional bodies

#173 Disability & slow process as devotional practice10 Dec 202300:32:15

In this episode I am talking about what slowness means to me in my practice right now and how I've learned to still appreciate the process when chronic illness and disabilities slow me down. I'm taking a longer view on things, thinking about how slowness makes space for observations and stories to be woven into my work and how stitching and carving supports my wellbeing in so many ways. I'm also asking questions about devotion, the value of time and the beauty of simplicity and simple aesthetics. 

I hope that if you've ever felt too slow you'll find comfort in listening!

#64 My interview with Marissa Correia on cyclical living and womb wisdom06 Oct 201900:53:24

Hey beautiful beings, thank you for listening to another Daydreaming Wolves episode, you are so appreciated!  In this interview I spoke to Marissa of Cyclical Body about body fluency, cyclical self-care and embodiment - as you know all things I am curiously exploring at the moment. I am working with Marissa and am in her membership program, so it feels really exciting to share just a few of the things I am learning from her with you today. Here is some of what we talked about: 

  • - Living in deeper harmony with our bodies 
  • - Our menstrual cycles as teachers 
  • - Finding more inclusive, authentic and open language around our bodies 
  • - Learning to really listen and following our stories  
  • - Shifting out of seeing our bodies as enemies  
  • - Finding gateways of embodied exploration 

Here is what Marissa says about her work:  I offer menstrual cycle education and holistic womb wellness guidance from an earth & body based perspective. My entrance into this work comes through birth work, studying with Whapio of the Matrona and Rachelle Garcia Seliga of Innate Traditions Postpartum. I was led to this path particularly through the ancestral elements of womb work, and at some point fell in love with the menstrual cycle and it’s been my teacher ever since. In the last year I have deepened into pelvic work through studying Holistic Pelvic Care with Tami Kent. I’m endlessly amazed by the wisdom of our bodies and the creative resilience moving through us. I am deeply informed by all the plant friends that have graciously found me on my path, as well as the territories that i’ve been held by – san diego, occupied kumeyaay land and recently lyons, colorado, occupied ute land. You can learn more about her here: https://cyclicalbody.com/ And this is her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cyclicalbody/

Hey beautiful ones, thank you for joining me for another interview episode! This time I spoke to the wonderful Rosemary Roberts about how incredibly fascinating and complex our bodies are. This is a really great episode for anyone with our without ovaries to listen to - I learned a ton and am feeling excited and encouraged to really pay more attention to my body and its rhythms. Here is what we talked about:  

  • - How Rosemary became interested in alternatives after being on the pill for a decade 
  • - What body literacy means to her and why it matters so much to make this work more accessible 
  • - Body literacy as an important aspect of preparing for an uncertain future 
  • - The relationship between permaculture, earth activism and reproductive justice 
  • - What a day in her forest school looks like (it made me want to give myself forest school afternoons)

#61 What Wild Embodiment means to me15 Sep 201900:20:26

What comes to mind when you are hearing the word embodiment? My thoughts are still changing all the time, it's very much an open exploration to me. This is a solo episode in which I am sharing about my current practices and reflecting a bit on the past year. I am also inviting you to write a zine with me, which I am really excited about! Here is the submission form: https://mrjzmkaz.paperform.co/ When I started my membership program over a year ago I was knee deep in my recovery from a sexual assault and wildly (sometimes desperately) interested in finding ways to reconnect with my body, reclaim joy and sensuality and find peace.  Being in community has helped me so so much and day by day working with plants, journaling and drawing cards has been a source of comfort and pleasure for me. I feel truly grateful for everyone who has joined in. This non-judgemental sense of exploration in a sweet framework with lots of easy to use tools and regular check ins is what feels most supportive and exciting to me in this work, so I am bringing even more of it in.

#59 My interview with Bri of Tadpole Magic on astrology for sceptics24 Jul 201900:51:09

Hey friends, I am sending a really beautiful episode with the wonderful Bri of Tadpole Magic your way! This one I think is particularly cool if the recent eclipses got you curious about astrology, but you're maybe a bit sceptical or not sure where to start.  Here is what we talked about:  

  • - Learning from experiences rather than only from books 
  • - Making astrology touchable  
  • - Why being sceptical is totally okay 
  • - The value of archetypes for our relationships, careers and spiritualities

#50 Spring magic + practices for tough times + finding faith19 Mar 201900:35:13

Friends, I can't tell you how grateful I feel to bring you the 50th episode of Daydreaming Wolves just in time for the spring equinox and the full moon in Libra.  Damn, it's honestly been so beautiful to have all these conversations with like minded people, to explore and dream together and to build community with you all. I feel you, even if it's just through the screen.  In this anniversary episode I am talking about my rituals and dreams around the spring equinox (low energy spring cleaning, deeper tarot readings, flower essences, planting seeds and shaking winter off!), about practices for tough times and starting small and about finding faith and inner authority. I'm also reading from Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown, which is a book I think you might love too!

#48 My interview with Danette Relic on self-marriage and creativity14 Dec 201800:48:12

Loved listeners, this is my last episode for 2018 and I am so so happy to end with such a beautiful, honest and inspiring conversation. Danette was my writing coach many moons ago and her love and wisdom is still with me all the time! She is incredibly funny and wise and has taught me so much about life, writing and loving myself.  Here is what we talked about:  

  • - How Danette got married to herself on a beach 17 years ago 
  • - Creating new traditions that are authentic and real 
  • - Getting clear on what we really want to do with our lives  
  • -Sustaining commitment to ourselves and our creativity in the long run 
  • - Why we love podcasting so much 
  • - Making awkward art 

Danette Relic has been married to herself for almost 18 years and it has been by far the hottest and most profound relationship in her life. She is a personal life coach, artist +  writer, based online at Radical Creative Sanctuary and at home in Toronto. Her mission is to help people transform their relationships with themselves. All of her work centers around self love - healing, dreaming, loving and creating from the core of who we are in a new, radical way.  Heartbreak has been her favourite method of learning the importance of self love in her own life. After many spectacular lessons, Danette began writing her first book, Crash Bloom: the 7 Houses of Heartbreak, a creatively empowering guide to heal from a breakup without skipping over the beauty of your own emotions. The book is in the final stages but you can get a quick map of the 7 Houses of Heartbreak when you sign up for her newsletter.  Danette loves to work with individuals who are ready to say yes to falling in love with themselves + their one precious life - even if it scares them. Her most popular coaching program, Radical Self Engagement creates space for her clients to ask what might happen if they treated themselves like someone they truly love - and develop the beliefs and practices to cultivate that change.  Radical Creative Sanctuary: http://www.radicalcreativesanctuary.com/ You can listen on her website: http://www.radicalcreativesanctuary.com/podcasts/

#46 My interview with Miel Rose on eclectic magic magic and staying embodied19 Nov 201801:03:35

Hey dream babes, thank you so much for your patience with this episode - I think it was totally worth it! I am sending you my conversation with Miel Rose, which was really wonderful and had both giggles and depth. Here is what we talked about:  

  • - Yearning for intimacy with the landscape  
  • - Eclectic magic 
  • - Lemonbalm and Mugwort as allies
  • - Sharing between plant and human bodies
  • - How magic supports folks who live with experiences of isolation, chronic illness and suicidal ideation 
  • - Receiving support in building authentic devotional practices 
  • - Staying embodied in this time and place  
  • Miel's beautiful year long class 

Miel Rose is a rural, working class femme raised by hippies in the wilds of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.  She is a textile artist, medicine maker, magic skills teacher, and an intuitive guidance giver who believes in her effectiveness as a wounded healer.  She was raised with a strong anti-capitalist/anti-consumer ethic, which is to say that she believes in cultivating reciprocal relationships with the world around us vs. seeing the world as inert matter for our consumption. She believes in an intersectional view of systemic oppression, which is to say that she believes we are living within the death throes of a soul eating civilization whose main expressions are rape culture, colonization and genocide, white supremacy, hatred for queerness and gender variance, life destroying class disparity, and general ecocide, all of which are interlocking tentacles of the same beast. She believes that it is impossible to survive in this system without accruing some form of trauma, that personal traumatic happenings are related to systemic oppression, and that a “culture” that is based on systemic oppression is traumatizing in and of itself. She believes in centering trauma in magical work, and that committing to the process of  healing our trauma is a magical act, one that ripples out through time and space.

#171 How I am expanding my attention span to dive deeper into subjects I love15 Nov 202300:22:36

In the second instalment of my Getting Ready for Winter series I am sharing things that have helped me pay more attention to what I love - making, cooking, wandering and having conversations. As the days grow shorter many of us feel we want more of those things, but it can be so so hard to make time. If you feel the same I hope this episode will offer you some ideas & inspiration.

#45 The interconnectedness of spirituality and politics with Elinor Predota09 Nov 201801:05:38

Happy belated new moon in Scorpio, wonderful beings! I am bringing you a really beautiful, inspiring episode with my friend Elinor Predota. I think you will love this one if you are into story telling, the interconnectedness of spirituality and politics and alternative ways of building a business! Amongst many other things we spoke about the following: 

  • - Understanding interconnectedness 
  • - Ancestral story telling 
  • - Engaging with our (white folks) history of violence and colonialism 
  • - Transforming guilt and shame into something more actionable 
  • - Listening to the landscape 
  • - Building a business against and beyond capitalism to create spaces of justice 

Elinor supports people who long to make action for social justice an everyday part of their life and work, but who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed, to build their inner resources of resilience, awareness of self, society and environment, and confidence. Elinor offers one to one, group and DIY programmes which are grounded in a long and wide-ranging background in activism, community development, spiritual counselling, ritual work, storytelling, and facilitation of learning. Elinor’s work is rooted in the magic of creativity, of relating across difference, and of becoming alive to all that is present, within and without us, here and now. This is Elinor's website: https://elinorpredota.com/ Elinor's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/elinorpredota This is the Bespoken Bones podcast we mentioned: http://bespokenbones.com/

#44 An audio movement and journaling workshop on embodiment02 Nov 201800:20:34

Hey friends, Fridays are now Daydreaming Wolves podcast days, hurray! Today I am sharing a movement + journaling audio workshop from the Magic of Embodiment program with you - people in the program really loved it and so I thought you might too. I will be sharing bits from the program on here occasionally because I love making things more accessible and want to offer you a peak behind the scenes.  You might want to listen to this at home rather than on public transport or in the car, but all you need is pen and paper. I am sharing some very gentle movement practices you can do sitting or lying down and then there will be some journaling prompts to dive into. Enjoy!

#43 A minisode on how to make small rituals a part of your day when you're stressed AF26 Oct 201800:18:37

Hey beautiful beings, this question comes up a lot: How do we make space for self-care and ritual and magic if everything is falling apart and feels super hard? I don't have a perfect answer, but I gathered some ideas and questions for you in the hope that they feel comforting! Listen to me share about my morning and bed time routines as well as my love for self-massages and the wild art of infusing small things with big intentions.  In this episode I mentioned the free tarot for beginners workshop I am running on the 18th of November, you can sign up here: https://yarrowdigital.com/free-webinars/
