7:40

what being a mystic

7:42

can be like, why

7:44

we would wanna do

7:46

that, and can practices, we

7:48

perspectives, do that, and exercises

7:50

to get your mystic

7:52

vision fine fine tuned. And then last,

8:01

been in the

8:03

making. taken I've taken some

8:05

clients through this particular. concoction

8:09

I've come up with through

8:11

experimentation. And

8:13

it's just so, so

8:15

awesome. It's It's really

8:17

evergreen. I'm really

8:19

creating it so that Anytime

8:21

you need a need a

8:24

restart, a pivot,

8:26

a a pivot, of the a

8:28

clearing of the slate, know,

8:30

8:33

that, all of that. any time.

9:03

you love this podcast, working

9:06

inside the container of the

9:08

moon the Moon Studio, it's like electrical, it's

9:10

like so, so, so good. It's

9:12

so good when we gather. good

9:14

I save all my juice, all I

9:16

save all my all material, I

9:18

save all the good, good good inside

9:20

of the containers. and

9:23

you should come. you You should hang

9:25

out with us. We're super kind,

9:29

kind. inside of

9:31

the workshops. Okay, so we

9:33

of the workshops. the energies and

9:35

the invitations of the

9:38

We work with the energies and

9:40

the invitations of the

9:42

collective and personal archetypes in order

9:44

to transform and grow. And obviously only

9:46

that's not the only thing we

9:48

work with. We work with our

9:51

intuition, but I will say, say It

9:54

can be pretty uncanny and

9:56

pretty helpful to be

9:58

working with. with the the

10:00

year. So an example. an

10:02

example. the year the and channel

10:04

a lot of the themes. of the

10:07

themes and let's think think

10:09

about this year, for example. It

10:11

was a strength a And wasn't this

10:13

a strength here? this a strength

10:16

year? It much backbone. much

10:18

backbone. It required so

10:20

much bravery. much bravery. It It required

10:22

a ton of surrendering. So,

10:25

so, so, so, so, so much

10:28

surrender. There was There was so much

10:30

facing fears, being scared. but

10:32

still figuring out how to how to

10:34

with that fear. that fear. It It really

10:36

showed us where we wanted

10:39

to be more wild, where we you

10:41

know, where we wanted to the

10:43

the heart, like what our

10:45

desires and yearnings and instincts were,

10:47

acted we acted on them or

10:49

not, this is like the

10:51

beginning of this opening. This year This

10:53

year really highlighted how important

10:55

the earth and animals are and

10:57

how important taking care of

10:59

our areas of land and our

11:01

body and our creativity. creativity was

11:03

for a ton for us ton of

11:05

us this year was about seeing our

11:07

shadows. seeing who we who we want

11:10

to be versus who we

11:12

have become trying to, and the

11:14

heart. heart. and our and

11:16

our our creativity our our

11:18

desire to try to get to

11:20

more of like who we wanna

11:22

be. of course course within

11:24

that. are the are the practical ways to

11:26

do that. do that. there was this

11:28

big piece about connecting to the heart

11:30

and reconnecting to the heart heart.

11:32

maybe possibly old dreams or older

11:34

buried aspects of ourselves that a

11:36

lot of us are still working

11:39

through, know, many of us are

11:41

in this stage are in this feels like,

11:43

well, I know what I want

11:45

know I think I know what

11:47

I desire but what do I

11:49

do? Like how do I do

11:51

it? I have all these obligations these

11:53

I've limited capacity or I'm locked

11:55

into leases or I have kids

11:57

I have kids or on and on and on,

11:59

you know. know? even like this one

12:01

that really speaks to the

12:03

year we're moving into. into, I

12:05

I can't figure out how

12:07

to move forward I've I've

12:09

never seen anyone do what

12:12

I I do. to do. Like

12:14

that's a big one, I think, for

12:16

folks. You're like, folks. You're like, I like I

12:18

know what I want, but

12:20

what I want is so singular

12:22

and unique to me, which

12:24

of course which of us that it's

12:27

our dream, our dreams our dreams

12:29

aren't gonna look like everyone else's

12:31

dreams. So if So if this is

12:33

you welcome, you're right on time

12:35

with the messages of the strength

12:37

card and doing strength

12:39

practices. Ultimately, I call this

12:42

heart intelligence. intelligence. So of

12:44

the things we did inside

12:46

of our membership was

12:48

share was share heart practices. practices. I I

12:50

was doing heart opening work, heart

12:52

healing work. I offered up

12:54

a practice to folks inside of

12:57

the I offered I offered up

12:59

a heart meditation. did We did

13:01

energetic practices. were doing a lot

13:03

of that inside of the containers.

13:06

I I think I also had a

13:08

whole episode about the heart, where

13:10

I talked about how the heart

13:12

is the bridge the between lower

13:14

and upper energy centers. and it's And

13:17

it's so important, of course, then,

13:19

to have the energy of an

13:21

open heart flow flow it connects the

13:23

upper and the lower aspects of

13:25

intuition and energy and the the

13:27

and so forth. You can go

13:29

back and listen to that episode

13:31

as well. as well. Another

13:33

episode that I shared

13:35

in in the workshop was was

13:38

into our true our true

13:40

natures. What's your true nature? nature?

13:42

Have you Have you had to be

13:44

the strong one, the the

13:46

one the one with no needs?

13:49

one who the one who had to hold

13:51

it all together for so long. so long that

13:53

you've internalized that identity and

13:55

that is who you know

13:57

yourself to be. to

13:59

be? that, what's your true

14:02

nature there? is And this

14:04

exciting work, exciting work I think

14:06

and really proof proof of

14:08

how these archetypes work and

14:10

how the creation of the

14:12

tarot is just this like

14:15

beautiful. amazing map. I don't map. I

14:17

don't even like using the

14:19

word work here because it's play, it's

14:21

a mysticism, it's a it's depth play,

14:23

depth play, really, because here now

14:25

we see the minor the minor

14:27

at play. Like sometimes we

14:29

have to say goodbye to to things

14:31

that looked good at one point,

14:33

like those coping mechanisms that worked,

14:35

worked, those ways of behaving helped helped

14:37

us get what we want or

14:39

helped us belong, like people or not

14:42

not speaking our truth or putting

14:44

up with less than amazing circumstances.

14:46

so That's so eight of cups,

14:48

right? from Like the away from the

14:50

good enough, a lot know? Because a

14:52

lot of this stuff is like,

14:54

well, there's nothing wrong. wrong. It's just

14:56

not quite right. right. That's so of of

14:58

cups. And we have multiple episodes

15:00

on that you can listen you

15:02

can listen to. Or maybe we had maybe

15:04

we had to learn how to unhook.

15:07

from certain identities, eight which is

15:09

Eight of Swords. there Again,

15:12

there are episodes about that. is

15:14

what we've done. is what we've done.

15:16

This is what we're doing with these

15:18

archetypes. This is how we bring

15:20

the archetypes down to to Earth. And

15:22

when we tune we tune

15:25

into... the messages, opportunities

15:27

and invitations bring us, it's archetypes

15:29

can bring us. It's like

15:31

focusing you feel lens. Like maybe

15:33

you feel fuzzy and you're

15:35

kind of groping around or

15:37

you can kind of see,

15:39

but it's like focusing that

15:41

lens. So it's a great

15:43

idea before this year is

15:46

through to look at your

15:48

personal archetype or archetypes. the to

15:50

look through the collective archetypes and

15:52

see what kinds of themes. up

15:55

in your cropped up in your life. to

15:57

any you come to any decisions or

15:59

different choices? can these these archetypes,

16:01

now that hindsight is more you know, for

16:03

know, for some of us, it's

16:05

harder to make decisions or choices

16:07

when we're in it, in it, right,

16:09

we're we're like in this log looking back, it

16:12

can be easier to make sense

16:14

of certain things and it can

16:16

be easier to make certain decisions.

16:18

decisions. and you can bring in

16:20

these archetypes, reflect on them, you

16:22

can meditate on them and see

16:24

what they have to share about

16:27

where you are. You can You

16:29

can also, if you still want

16:31

the the workshop, if you still want

16:33

to lean on the support of the

16:35

strength archetype, you can purchase it

16:37

on our site. our site. If

16:39

you want this this dive for

16:41

free on strength, I I

16:44

did like four episodes. I just

16:46

just like, I just knew

16:48

we were gonna I just knew,

16:50

right? in strength. I just knew, to

16:52

those. So you can go back and

16:54

just listen to those. And as you

16:56

listen back, any you can see like, if

16:59

there's any wisdom or messages from that

17:01

card and do they wanna give you

17:03

insights about your life now. life now? There

17:06

can be this pushiness or

17:08

this impatience or this, I

17:10

don't know, this kind

17:12

of sometimes that creeps in creeps

17:14

in. with spirituality. almost

17:17

overnight. I didn't almost over and I

17:19

my fully embody my archetype fully

17:21

didn't fully make the most of,

17:23

you know, my card of

17:25

the year know, you know, my

17:27

tarot readings I didn't didn't fully do

17:29

everything I wanted to with

17:32

my practice. And so so I want us

17:34

us to take a deep. Belly

17:36

breath, you've been holding your

17:38

breath, soften your belly,

17:40

take a nice breath, and

17:42

I a nice breath and I want

17:44

to If you if you

17:46

I wanna gently swaddle

17:49

17:51

18:51

18:54

Monday. you know,

18:56

spiritual practices and philosophies

18:58

are meant to make our

19:00

lives better. our lives better

19:02

and easier. They

19:05

themselves are not always easy to

19:07

do. It is not always

19:09

easy to meditate. It is

19:11

not always easy to do somatic

19:13

work or feel your feelings

19:15

or journal when you wanna

19:17

scroll journal when take your, or take your straw

19:20

tonic would much rather have, I

19:22

don't know, soda or whatever,

19:24

right? I'm not saying not always

19:26

feel easy, but they are

19:28

meant to help us learn learn. how

19:31

to transmute things, how to to things,

19:33

how to soothe ourselves, how to

19:36

change thought patterns, They they are meant

19:38

to help us grow and change. And I

19:40

I know for me, sometimes it

19:42

feels like there are are so so many

19:44

things I wanna change, it can

19:46

be overwhelming. And so I

19:48

want to remind you to start

19:50

with one. with one. Like with one

19:52

thing. thing. And I would say And I would

19:55

say a big it a big thing. it's Maybe

19:57

it's something you've wanted to address

19:59

for quite some time. And so then the

20:01

math equation is

20:04

The issue or the challenge, the dilemma

20:06

as it were, plus the

20:08

spiritual practices and philosophies you've

20:10

been studying or training in or

20:12

practicing. in or then you figure

20:52

I also want to bring

it'll collect it'll gather you up,

21:10

it'll collect you,

21:12

problem. really a problem?

21:14

Is Is this something you need

21:16

to expend the energy to solve? the

21:19

energy to solve? Or

21:21

is there Is there another

21:23

issue? is that is more

21:25

root cause. if you if you

21:27

get in there and address that?

21:30

Maybe most of of the other

21:33

problems. will dissolve dissolve or be

21:35

a lot easier to manage. an example

21:38

use an example I just, I you

21:40

know, I to I wanna

21:42

help folks understand what talking about. So

21:44

I am talking about. is that let's

21:46

say You problem is that you need

21:48

been You need more money, you've been

21:50

underpaid, you've been in jobs where

21:52

you've been underpaid for a long time,

21:55

and maybe at first you think, well, I

21:57

need I need different skills for a

21:59

different job. so can make more money. more

22:01

money. That could totally be it for

22:03

sure. I'm not saying that's not. I'm

22:05

not saying that's not

22:08

correct. But when you really

22:10

sit with it. it, The

22:12

underlying root cause problem is that you

22:14

that you have low self

22:16

you were raised in raised in a family

22:18

with no money, who who didn't

22:20

know how to handle money. money, no

22:22

No one around you knew was educating

22:24

people responsibly about money, which by

22:26

the way way is everyone, friends. Like,

22:29

you know, you know, what, why don't our

22:31

parents teach us about money? Like, what,

22:33

what is going on? We should We

22:35

should start learning it in high school.

22:38

So, because of because because of those

22:41

things, you're very uncomfortable around

22:43

money and you can't even see

22:45

yourself having three months of

22:47

savings. savings and and making a beautiful living

22:49

like you can't even think of yourself

22:51

in that way. in that way. That's just

22:53

an example, right? right? It be anything.

22:55

Maybe just maybe by addressing those younger

22:57

parts and emotions, emotions, learning

22:59

about money, you begin to

23:01

grow and build your self -worth

23:03

in other areas like having

23:05

intrinsic boundaries boundaries doing stuff

23:07

around worth and confidence and

23:09

then thinking about what job you'd

23:11

like to have and what

23:13

industry you'd like to work

23:15

in. you'd like to work in. And things

23:18

then for good. You're not

23:20

You're not you're not your

23:22

low self -worth into the

23:24

next job. You know, you're

23:26

not taking your poor spending

23:29

habits into the next tax

23:31

bracket. This is root cause

23:33

healing. And at the the Moon

23:35

we call that transformation from the

23:37

inside out. You break up with

23:39

the inside out. You get to the

23:41

deepest, the clearest part. the deepest,

23:44

address that. part. You address

23:46

in order to change. to change. Because

23:48

if you don't do that. You'll

23:51

break up with the person, but the next person

23:53

you date, it will have the same. it

23:55

will have the same dynamic. Right?

23:57

if you're anxiously attached. attached. you'll

24:00

stay anxiously attached. you

24:02

have to change to secure attachment.

24:06

or to become a little less anxious. less

24:08

You'll keep creating the same

24:10

issues at the next job.

24:12

issues at you do not

24:15

address the internal. address the

24:17

internal shadows, subconscious

24:19

beliefs. beliefs, nervous

24:22

system setups, energetic

24:24

setups. inside of

24:26

of you. just It'll just keep

24:28

happening. This is

24:30

so important to know for next

24:32

year. year. So like start

24:35

now, now, start now with

24:37

that. now with Second question

24:39

to ask yourself. around

24:41

things you wanted to change to

24:43

or things you've wanted to

24:45

try spiritually, if you want

24:47

to, only if you want

24:49

to. only if you want one is

24:51

like, what did you do? what

24:54

did you The second is, is didn't

24:56

you do it? it? And

24:58

be honest. don't be shaming. Maybe don't.

25:01

not have be Maybe you could have gotten

25:03

up five minutes you really did

25:05

not have time. of scrolling. Be

25:07

honest. And you could have

25:09

gotten up five minutes before Ask yourself

25:11

time of times. A meditate A couple of

25:14

scrolling. of times. A couple of times.

25:16

A couple of times. A couple of times. A

25:18

couple of times. A couple of then A couple

25:20

of times. A couple it. A couple of

25:22

times. A or two more times.

25:24

Ask yourself A couple of times. A couple of couple

25:26

of times. times. and then

25:29

get to the get to the

25:31

root cause of that belief and

25:33

change it. meditation. I don't think five

25:36

I don't think five minutes of

25:38

meditation is going to change

25:40

anything. right, well, what do you think

25:42

would All right. Well, what do

25:44

you think would change something? think 20

25:46

minutes it turns out you think

25:48

20 minutes of meditation would change something.

25:51

so you so you have to commit

25:53

to trying that. know, just get really

25:55

honest with yourself, friends. yourself, You

25:57

know, know? maybe you feel like you

25:59

need more to show up online

26:01

because you don't wanna look unprofessional

26:03

or be cringe. Or maybe you need maybe

26:05

you need to practice try you need to try and

26:08

you need to put things up there if if

26:10

you don't feel ready because that's how you get

26:12

ready. ready. The

26:14

second question, why didn't you, is

26:16

also very valuable it's an it's

26:18

an ask to look at

26:21

your environment, your behaviors, and

26:23

your patterns. One of the

26:25

asks that I shared workshop with

26:27

my workshop participants in the Year

26:29

workshop was his idea of creating

26:32

the best conditions to thrive in.

26:34

to thrive in. The The metaphor is

26:36

that the gardener cannot make the make the

26:38

rose. The cannot control how big

26:40

the roses are going to be, how

26:43

vibrant they appear. they

26:45

appear, they can nurture the soil. the

26:47

They can plant them in the right spot.

26:49

They can give them the right fertilizer, water

26:52

and trim and tend to them so

26:54

that they'll be beautiful roses. and tend

26:56

to can be that they'll

26:58

be beautiful gonna be like

27:00

a very big. be very big quest.

27:04

It can be about your mindset

27:06

and your energy. And it's also

27:08

just just like very and material

27:10

as well. And the eight

27:12

that that support this. and

27:14

question and question are the eight

27:16

27:18

27:21

I would want like so much of

27:23

my time on the planet to be the planet

27:25

to often, if I'm being honest. But

27:27

how do you get there? get there?

27:29

Well, the eight of says you need

27:31

energy and ideas, but you also

27:33

need flow. flow. You also need

27:35

momentum and movement at a pace

27:37

that works for you. for you, you

27:40

also need no one or nothing

27:42

blocking you or blocking your flow.

27:44

31:38

I wanted to share just a

31:40

few of the just a few

31:42

of the ways. next we can prepare

31:44

for next year. been Based on

31:46

the themes I've been tuning into, the

31:49

themes themes, the themes of the

31:51

archetype of the year, and we'll

31:53

be going deep, deep, deep, deep. deep

31:55

deep into all of these in the

31:57

the Hermit workshop, as well well as

31:59

the other. two. probably touch upon

32:01

these and more. They're gonna

32:04

be amazing. So, by the

32:06

end. You will have such

32:09

great insights about where you

32:11

are, where you're headed, how

32:13

you'll get there, while also

32:16

being able to be in

32:18

the mystery and really discover

32:21

how you'll be able to

32:23

embody yourself more. It's going

32:25

to be really great. So

32:28

here's a couple of suggestions

32:30

meant to support you. And

32:32

I'm not only talking about

32:35

this. from an energetic lens.

32:37

I'm talking about next year

32:40

as being one where we

32:42

have a very hostile government

32:44

taking over, more than the

32:47

usual, filled with hostile, unhealed,

32:49

hate-filled people. And those people

32:52

are hell-bent on destruction and

32:54

on hurting others, which is

32:56

super real. What I found

32:59

very interesting is how some

33:01

of the energy are typally

33:04

as well as astrologically really

33:06

reflect surviving and thriving in

33:08

these times. The archetype of

33:11

the mystic, the seer, elder,

33:14

the old-growth forest, and I'll stop

33:17

because I'm getting ahead of myself.

33:19

I'll be discussing all of this

33:21

in the Hermit Year workshop, so

33:23

if you want more, if you

33:25

want a comprehensive deep dive like

33:28

no other, you can sign up

33:30

there. Here are some of the

33:32

seeds, though, from many moons from

33:34

all the channeling I've been doing

33:37

around next year to help you

33:39

get prepared properly for all the

33:41

events and opportunities. Again,

33:44

if you want all of this

33:46

in a format, in like a

33:48

material format you can interact with,

33:51

I highly suggest you purchase many

33:53

moons if you haven't already, because

33:55

it's all in there. Everything I'm

33:58

taking and sharing. here is already

34:00

in many months, and you can

34:02

just have it in your hands.

34:05

I got a couple of requests

34:07

from folks who, you know, had

34:09

wanted me to turn, for example,

34:12

my terro episodes into a book.

34:14

If you want what I'm talking

34:16

about in a book, get many

34:19

moons. That's in a book. It's

34:21

there. So the tips for this

34:23

time, and really until March, essentially

34:26

now until March, this is prep

34:28

time. The first

34:30

thing is, if you are feeling

34:32

the pull to turn in words

34:35

right now, trust it. I understand

34:37

this is a holiday time, a

34:39

busy work time. the

34:42

country I'm in pushes this hustle hustle

34:44

go go go work work work kind

34:46

of energy I'm going to suggest that

34:49

you go with your gut and if

34:51

you need more time alone more time

34:53

sleeping that you do so people's exhaustion

34:56

levels have not been higher we all

34:58

need to regroup and rest which feels

35:00

really hard to do and it's a

35:03

luxury and like what world do we

35:05

live in where rest is a luxury

35:07

but here we are I have a

35:10

blog post on the journal about seven

35:12

different times of rest and you can

35:14

look that up. There are ways to

35:17

work and get things done and still

35:19

be more restful and this is really

35:21

the kind of energetic mastery we all

35:24

need to be doing. If your baseline

35:26

is go-go-go, if there is hypervigilance, your

35:28

energy is going to reflect that. So

35:31

getting energetically resonant and energetically restful is

35:33

super key. It's really important. The

35:37

other important part of

35:39

this I want to

35:41

flush out, and I'll

35:44

be talking about this

35:46

more in the workshop,

35:48

is turning inward for

35:51

quality time with the

35:53

self. If whenever you're

35:55

alone you put on

35:58

podcasts or television, I'm

36:02

telling you to stop. That's not

36:04

quality time with the self. Quality

36:06

time is nourishing and restorative time.

36:09

It's time spent really dropped in

36:11

and present. There's a way to

36:13

be present and a way to

36:16

be embodied and grounded for a

36:18

lot of highly sensitive for folks

36:20

with a trauma, history. We don't

36:23

always want to be here. not

36:25

on a subtle level, not on

36:28

an energetic level, because it doesn't

36:30

feel safe to be here, because

36:32

we can pick up on the

36:35

chaos and all the pain and

36:37

all the disease. and

36:39

all of it. And so why

36:42

would we want to root in

36:44

in the present time? Why would

36:46

we want to be here? Why

36:48

would we want to be one

36:51

with the planet? I definitely understand

36:53

this and also we need you

36:55

and we need you in present

36:58

time and we need you as

37:00

restored as possible. This kind of

37:02

flows into the second suggestion that

37:04

popped up. If you're feeling an

37:07

internal conflict, we have to start

37:09

thinking about it as a moral

37:11

injury. It might mean you've been

37:13

going against your values for a

37:16

long time, and it's time to

37:18

step into more alignment with them.

37:20

And the problem is that we

37:22

tend to have this all-or-nothing thinking

37:25

when it comes to change. We

37:27

feel so far away from where

37:29

we want to be or where

37:32

we think we should be, and

37:34

that creates dejection. and dejection creates

37:36

separation and then we shut down.

37:38

And the future self workshop is

37:41

poised to help you with this

37:43

one if you've been feeling that

37:45

space. Your morning, your grief reflects

37:47

your values. Are you mourning for

37:50

the earth? I am. Okay, how

37:52

do you steward that earth? How

37:54

can we foster growth in our

37:57

yards or parks? Is it a

37:59

community garden? Are we cleaning up

38:01

trash on the side of the

38:03

road? Are we involved politically with

38:06

laws and all of that, and

38:08

more than that, how is what

38:10

you're doing life-giving? There's this amazing

38:12

artist I came across online, I

38:15

don't know her name, so sorry,

38:17

but she dresses up like the

38:19

earth, and she wraps. She's wrapping

38:21

about saving the earth. It's hilarious,

38:24

it's fun. She's made like a

38:26

plushy earth that she runs around

38:28

in. And she gets arrested, they

38:31

literally arrest Mother Earth. And I'm

38:33

just like, this is the best

38:35

thing ever. You know, there's a

38:37

reason that data and these great

38:40

more reverent art movements popped up

38:42

during the wars and during times

38:44

of great upheavals. There's a reason

38:46

we saw the 60s after the

38:49

50s, you know. So just like

38:51

try to make things more fun.

38:53

Please, like, please make it more

38:55

life giving. And if that means

38:58

you need to focus on your

39:00

dreams, please do that. We need

39:02

more people alive, engaging with life,

39:05

engaging with what makes them happy,

39:07

engaging with what brings them joy

39:09

to bring more life back to

39:11

the earth. Do we need to

39:14

use our privilege, our strength, our

39:16

courage to resist, to speak up,

39:18

to help those more vulnerable than

39:20

us? Of course. Of course. It's

39:23

not one or the other, though.

39:25

We have to stop, like, this

39:27

is such an issue I see

39:30

that, like, Missouri loves company. that

39:32

you can't be happy while the

39:34

earth is burning, that you can't

39:36

spread joy or be successful, and

39:39

I just want us to rethink

39:41

all of this. It's how they

39:43

want us to be divided and

39:45

unhappy. I want all of us

39:48

to win. I want activists well

39:50

fed, resourced, with their feet massaged

39:52

on Friday nights. I want historically

39:54

oppressed people uplifted and beautiful warm

39:57

homes with the entire support system

39:59

they need, all the health care

40:01

and like everything. I want spiritual

40:04

workers and social workers and caretakers

40:06

all taken care of. And someone

40:08

being, I'll just speak for myself,

40:10

me being miserable and broke and

40:13

unhappy and alone is not going

40:15

to make others well. It's just

40:17

not logical. So it's a very

40:19

very good use of your time

40:22

right now to care for yourself.

40:25

to an extent you maybe

40:27

never have before, to invest

40:30

in your dreams, to get

40:32

re-centered, to get back in

40:34

your body, to get excited

40:36

about life again, to find

40:38

things to look forward to,

40:41

whatever it is you need

40:43

to do, meds, medical leave,

40:45

moving, whatever you need to

40:47

do for you now, to

40:50

the best of your ability.

40:52

It's not selfish because we

40:54

need you here and we

40:56

need all of you here.

40:58

There's a reason why you're

41:01

here, even if you don't

41:03

know it yet. I

41:06

had a bunch of others. I'll

41:08

share it in the workshops and

41:10

I think we're good. I think

41:12

this is a good place to

41:15

end. A lot of this is

41:17

source for many moons so you'll

41:19

be encountering some of this. If

41:22

you have the spiritual guide. If

41:24

you want to have a sturdy

41:26

ground in which to make your

41:28

dreams come true, next year and

41:31

beyond, if you want to get

41:33

really comfortable with your own mysticism

41:35

and your own mystic abilities, this

41:38

is what we're doing together in

41:40

January to prep for. There was

41:42

one more piece I just wanted

41:44

to touch upon because it feels

41:47

very relevant. I'm being told like

41:49

my guides are like just share

41:51

this so I'm going to share

41:54

it. There's so many other like

41:56

places where this is coming up

41:58

because it's so real. I

42:01

think, multiple pieces dedicated to

42:03

this topic in many moons,

42:05

and this is, of course,

42:08

loneliness. There's so much to

42:10

say. It's been said. Loneliness

42:12

is a theme for so

42:15

many reasons. No one wants

42:17

to talk about trauma and

42:19

COVID. There was a literal

42:22

pandemic, the likes of which

42:24

we've never seen before. Millions

42:26

of people died. Millions of

42:29

other people were disabled, permanently

42:31

altered by COVID. in many

42:33

ways, and when folks, like,

42:36

no mainstream media is consistently

42:38

covering this, when people try

42:40

to talk about this, the

42:43

denial and fear and avoidance

42:45

of the other, of this

42:47

reality is off the charts,

42:50

and that relates in isolation

42:52

and separation. There is also

42:54

this other connection between collective

42:57

distrust and fascism. and

42:59

how fascism and extreme rigidity

43:01

in politics affect interpersonal relationships.

43:04

Maybe I'll say more about

43:06

this in other places. I

43:08

would say a good place

43:10

to start is Hannah Arerent,

43:13

the philosopher, and other words,

43:15

also the personal is political.

43:17

So much distrust has been

43:19

sewn over the last eight

43:22

plus years. And of course

43:24

that's going to affect our

43:26

lives, our livelihood, our worldview,

43:28

our nervous systems. But what

43:31

I'm going to talk about

43:33

more in the workshop, specifically,

43:35

is the loneliness that comes

43:38

from being on the spiritual

43:40

path. I don't hear anyone

43:42

talking about this. I really

43:44

don't. I'm talking

43:47

maybe a bit more specifically

43:49

about a spiritual path that

43:51

where one is committed to

43:53

awakening, that's always going to

43:55

have elements of loneliness. And

43:57

then it's always going to

43:59

have elements of like deeper

44:01

connection. spirit or God or

44:03

the universe. It's very paradoxical.

44:05

Often you can't relate to

44:07

dominant culture. You often don't

44:09

care, like, about dominant culture.

44:11

You're like, I don't care

44:13

about this celebrity. Like, who

44:15

cares? Or I don't care

44:17

about the new crocks. Or

44:19

like, you're like, what? You're

44:21

just like, huh? It's hard

44:23

to relate to friends and

44:25

family. And there is also

44:27

this painful. painful part where

44:29

you realize you cannot take

44:31

certain people with you. They

44:33

cannot come with you all

44:35

the way, not if you're

44:37

going to live in integrity.

44:39

And this can be some

44:41

of the deepest pain that

44:43

people can know. We are

44:45

meant to collaborate with one

44:47

another. We want to belong.

44:49

We want to fit in,

44:51

we want to be accepted,

44:54

we want to connect, we

44:56

want to find similarities. And

44:58

for the love of the

45:00

goddess, we have more similarities

45:02

than we have differences. you

45:04

know, I can absolutely find

45:06

similarities with people, like even

45:08

my weirdo self, you know,

45:10

with just about anybody really.

45:12

I've been taking these trainings

45:14

and it's like the first

45:16

time I've been kind of

45:18

dunked in to like a

45:20

population that is like, you

45:22

know, not a population I'd

45:24

normally be in and I'm

45:26

like, oh yeah, the longer

45:28

I spend with folks, the

45:30

more I can relate to

45:32

just about anyone really if

45:34

I see their humanity and

45:36

their vulnerability, I can relate

45:38

to everybody. And also, the

45:40

spiritual path will ask us

45:42

to go our own way.

45:44

And that often does not

45:46

make sense to other people.

45:48

Not to mention being more

45:50

open about it. I don't

45:52

know, like coming out of

45:54

the broom closet, like really

45:56

coming out and sharing any

45:58

authentic part of you, whether

46:00

it's a name change or

46:02

I don't know. you know,

46:04

you like tell your family,

46:06

you like, you're like, and

46:08

I never liked pumpkins, you

46:10

know, like being really honest,

46:12

you know, is things are

46:14

going to happen. And also,

46:16

here's another really big one.

46:19

Rejecting any labels or expectations

46:21

that the world puts on

46:23

you, it can feel so

46:25

incredibly lonely. There's

46:27

this other piece of it too.

46:29

Again, I don't want to get

46:32

too far into it. I think

46:34

I'm going to talk about it

46:36

in the workshop, but where you

46:39

just feel so much more healed

46:41

and you feel so much more

46:43

self-loving, you don't want to be

46:45

around people who can't see you.

46:48

I have so little time left

46:50

on this earth. Why would I

46:52

want to be around anyone who

46:55

doesn't want the best for me

46:57

and doesn't want to care for

46:59

me in the way that I

47:01

deserve? Why do I want to

47:04

be around anyone who insists I'm

47:06

someone else, like I'm someone I'm

47:08

not? It doesn't make sense. It

47:11

creates incongruency and we want congruence.

47:13

Congruence is how we have all

47:15

our power, energy and resources inside

47:17

of us. And again,

47:19

I want to be clear, I'm

47:22

not talking about people you don't

47:24

have a lot in common with,

47:26

but there's deep love and deep

47:28

affection. That's so different. You know,

47:30

I don't have anything in common

47:32

with my pug. Me and my

47:35

pug, I mean, we have very

47:37

little in common other than that

47:39

we're both completely in love and

47:41

vying for the affection of our

47:43

partner. Like, that's what, you know,

47:45

but I love my pug. I

47:48

try to connect to my pug.

47:50

where I can connect. You know,

47:52

like that's a great example, right?

47:54

But I'm talking about like not

47:56

wanting to be part of active

47:59

cruelty, total harm. you

48:01

know, and what is going

48:03

to be? You've heard it

48:06

here first on moon beaming

48:08

productions. One of the hallmarks

48:10

of next year that you

48:13

will start seeing again and

48:15

again is people opting out

48:18

people opting out of cruel

48:20

environments, people opting out of

48:23

institutions that do not care

48:25

about people and do not

48:28

care about life. letting

48:31

go of gigs, boycotting corporations. This

48:33

is so Hermit because what we're

48:35

going to talk about is that

48:38

the Hermit's punk. Like a punk,

48:40

a really great punk rocker. So

48:43

we'll talk about loneliness versus solitude, calling

48:45

in our people, what we have to

48:48

do to stay on the path, but

48:50

not have it feel like a detriment,

48:52

maybe even so that it feels fun,

48:55

and that we have more energy and

48:57

we have more joy and connections. So

48:59

now, for now to prepare. See if

49:02

you can't try to switch up your

49:04

loneliness into solitude. See if you can't

49:06

begin to take the extra steps to

49:09

connect with other people, to look around

49:11

and connect, hopefully in real life. But

49:13

there are other ways to do it

49:16

online and small online communities totally work

49:18

as well. It's time to use all

49:20

your courage and that open-heartedness you've been

49:23

cultivating all year. in our strength card

49:25

year into our hermit year ahead. Okay

49:27

angels I can't wait to gather so

49:30

so soon whether it's at the solstice

49:32

event our January workshop series patrons I'll

49:34

be hanging out with you soon. Any

49:37

number of upcoming gatherings will be having

49:39

together in 2025. I'm sending you so

49:41

much love. I have so much gratitude

49:43

for you. And I'm really truly looking

49:46

forward to having a beautiful, deep and

49:48

expansive year to in in 2025

49:50

because we're going we're going

49:53

to make it. So

49:55

we're going to

49:57

make it that way.

50:00
