Daydreaming Wolves Podcast

Hey loved ones, this solo episode is pretty much what it says on the tin: an exploration of why I am training as a death doula as an extension of the grief celebrant training I am doing, some thoughts about death, loss and grief and how all this actually makes me feel really happy and grounded right now. I am also sharing a few updates about life in Scotland, about offerings for 2020 and about my communities. Here is more info about the live tarot class I mentioned, its $44 till Dec 1st: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/tarot-as-a-light-in-the-dark-live-class/ If you have any feedback I would SO love to hear from you at hello@yarrowdigital.com and I also voiced a cheeky birthday wish: If you enjoy the podcast please can you leave a review?

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. Fuck yes! Here is some of what we talked about:  - How modern ways of movement are impacting our biology and emotional bodies  - The initiation of motherhood  - Healing through natural movement  - Coming to really honour our bodies and learning about anatomy  - Creating trauma sensitive movement spaces  Jennifer Gleeson Blue guides women to find their freedom, reinitiating their connection to their powerful, majestic and sacred bodies. In her online programs, group coaching, private sessions and workshops, she utilizes a powerful blend of consciousness work and natural movement to unl

Hey beautiful listeners, I am so excited to have arrived back on Fridays being new episode days and also this one is very special - I talked to Eryn Johnson of Living Open about so many things that are currently in my heart.

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)  Rosemary offers full-spectrum education and support for the reproductive continuum as a certified sexual/reproductive health and fertility awareness educator, as well as

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

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 - Why we think no one should let the internet tell them who they are  Bri is a witch, astrologer, writer for their blog, Tadpole Magic, and co-host of the podcast, Open Magic.
