”Yes… AND!” Orient toward abundance

In this episode I explain the concept of abundance mindset as a key orientation for the Pagan Monastery Project, and share a story about a collision I once had with a Christian religious symbol, and how it shaped my current direction.

The Dark Before Dawn

In this episode I talk about dawn goddess worship in April and around Easter, Margery Kempe, the author of the first memoir in English and a weeping mystic, and I ask the question: "what if your special grief is not a curse on your life, but the early morning voice of your unique calling?"

Uploads from Italy

In this episode I get very honest and share personal and professional insights I received while travelling in Italy in April. These insights will change the structure of my life and business for the rest of this year.
In brief:
* Italy, not surprisingly, has incredible pagan monastery potential.
* I had a brush with death there.
* I am ceasing online teaching and coaching for the next eight to ten months.
* I'm writing a book about the abundance approach to paganism!
I hope this episode provides inspiration for entering into a deeper level of clarity in your life and relationships!

Beyond Renunciation

One of the main motivators for early Christian monasticism was the desire to renounce the world. This episode delves into the origins of renunciation in Western culture, and promotes a more complex and life-affirming approach for pagan monastic communities.
