Hey everyone, I'm excited to send this conversation with Darcy Leigh your way!

Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the wellbeing wishes for my broken leg, I really appreciate them

Hey everyone, a hundred episodes! Wow. This feels really special and I am so grateful for your support. This is a celebratory episode, of course, but I also have a lot of updates to share. Listen in if you wanna hear about:  How I broke my leg on NYE and what I am learning about healing & recovery The movement for trauma training I'll do next month My art practice and what printmaking magic you can expect in 2021  Why I chose simplicity and presence as my words for the year and how I am working with them How I am gathering together all my past Patreon offerings into one community space on Mighty Networks that you can join What's next for the podcast Honestly my key takeaway is that all the small things matter.

So thank you for coming along!  Here is more info about the Embodied Ritual Community: ht

Hey everyone, here we are, we made it to the very end of 2020!  I wanted to record this episode to say thank you and also to give anyone who needs it permission to not make new year's eve resolutions. We've done enough by just making it through this year without abandoning ourselves and we deserve a gift to celebrate that instead of another to do. Of course if you have a resolution that feels good I am happy for you! But if you are celebrating alone today too and want to hear some thoughts about nice rituals and getting cozy then I hope this episode will feel nice to listen to!

Hiii! First of all, thank you so so much for all your love, encouragement and support this year. I've been feeling it and it means the world to me.  In this last episode of 2020 I've been reflecting on what it means to let things be enough, at least for now. Going into the winter break I want to let go of all the shoulds and could haves and just allow myself to rest and digest. I hope you'll do the same! Listen in for some updates and plans for 2021 as well as some thoughts on 2020 and being good enough.  Love, Yarrow https://www.patreon.com/daydreamingwolves ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host.

Hey loved listeners, I seem to be in a good podcasting flow at the moment and am happy to bring another interview  with the wonderful Sam Wallen your way. Writing has been so precious to me this year, so I am glad for any chance to talk about the practice and magic of putting words to paper. Without further ado here is what we talked about: Exploring what really wants to be written and telling the truth Writing as a restorative practice The importance of having our work received by the world How stories change our realities and shape the future Samantha Wallen is a writer, writing coach, burgeoning deep ecologist, and poet at heart. She offers transformative writing workshops, group and private coaching programs, and retreats for writers, want-to-be writers, and non-writers alike so they can discover their voice, clarify the deep value, purpose, and focus of their writing, and develop structures for committing to a sustainable and nourishing writing life and practice. Sam’s mission is to restore the soul, one

Hey sweet listeners, thank you so much for your kind feedback on my past few solo episodes. I always thought interviews are where it's at, but this year I have actually really enjoyed listening to people ramble by themselves, so I thought I would do more of that too. In this episode I'm talking about how I am thinking of this time as a really long pyjama party by myself with lots of YA books, crafting, teenage feelings and Dawson's Creek, but also a healthy dose of adult cynicism. There are also some thoughts on what I actually want to invite back into my life when the pandemic is over and how I prepare to gently socially re-emerge when it's time.  Here is more info about the creative space sessions I mentioned: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/weekly-creative-space-sessions/ As always thank you for listening

Hey friends, I thought it might be nice to step away from the news for a moment in election week to reorient myself to something I really love - having honest conversations with magical people. Speaking to Mimi Young was really beautiful and I hope this conversation will bring some inspiration and comfort your way.

Hey everyone, how are you doing and feeling? It's a lot, isn't it? This weekend is both Samhain and a blue moon in Taurus, so I wanted to send some love, some resources and some ideas your way. I am also sharing what rituals I'll do this weekend and I have an exciting announcement for low cost creativity sessions this winter.  Here are the podcasts I've mentioned: https://daphnecohn.com/podcasts/ https://forthewild.world/ Some books I am reading - Why we make things and why it matter by Peter Korn and If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie My book Rituals: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/book/ If you'd like to join the creativity sessions this winter you can become a Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/daydreamingwolves Wherever you are and whatever you do I hope you'll have some moments of rest and sweetness!

Hey friends, I am sharing this solo episode on both my podcasts - Daydreaming Wolves and the DIY Small Business podcast because it feels relevant to both projects. I came across the expression voluntary simplicity this week and it's been intensely on my ever since. While I never resonated with "voluntary poverty" there is so much freedom and pleasure in keeping things simple. So in this episode I am exploring how I am valuing simplicity in my life - in the home I bought, the ways in which I allow my business to stagnate, in how I try to get better at letting things be what they are and be led by my values rather than dominant narratives. I am asking what it can look life to be right sized in the space we take up, to find our own kind of success and am also giving a little update on smartphone free life, in case you're interested. Let me know what you think! ⋒ Hi, my name is Yarrow and I am your host. My podcast Daydreaming Wolves explores ritual, politicized healing and creative expression through interviews

Hey everyone, this is just a little seasonal check in - I am sharing what I am doing to prepare for winter, about my new home in Scotland, about my worries for the world and the things I am working on at the moment. I recorded this sitting in bed on a Sunday afternoon while the dogs are sleeping and I hope it arrives in your space like a little soft cloud full of pandemic reflections

Hey everyone, I am sorry for the unexpected podcasting pause! Much has happened in the world, I have moved to a new home and I just didn't have the headspace to edit & upload a new episode in a little while. But I am back and excited to share thoughts and conversations in this way. Today I am sending a wonderful interview with Allison Carr to you - she recently wrote a really touching zine called Sovereign and so around that we explored finding our own truth, questioning authority and teachers and connecting with our bodies. Allison shared what somatic practices mean to her, what kind of experiences she has made in healing trauma and she also gave us a really great intro to poly-vagal theory. I am really excited to share this as the first episode of autumn and I think as we go into the darker part of the year in the Northern hemisphere there is so much to explore and treasure here. Enjoy! Allison Carr is a queer witch, healer, writer, mother and licensed acupuncturist, currently living on the traditional

Hey everyone, I'm happy to be back with a beautiful interview episode - I talked to Katherine May (a fellow writer!) about her book Wintering, our experience of the pandemic, the creative process and many other interesting things. I dropped deep into her writing this summer and read her book in just three sittings, which is magic in pandemic attention span terms. I hope you'll receive some comfort and inspiration from hearing about her thoughts too! Here is some of what we explored:  - What it means to accept seasons if Wintering - Being a wild swimmer and how it is the best thing ever - Being with the truth of loss, disappointment and failure - Self-acceptance and finding your people after an autism diagnosis later in life - Writing anti-self-help books Katherine May is an author of fiction and memoir whose titles include Wintering, The Electricity of Every Living Thing, The Whitstable High Tide Swimming Club, The 52 Seductions, Burning Out, and Ghosts & Their Uses.

Hey everyone, I'm so happy to send this interview with Sheree Mack your way - it's been beautiful to talk to her and I got so much inspiration from the way she approaches creativity, nature and life in general.
