Have you ever woken up from a dream and wondered, "what was THAT about?"

Maybe this happens to you all the time, or maybe you barely remember your dreams. Either way, we all dream.

And learning to work with our dreams from a more intentional or even therapeutic lens can be incredibly supportive in navigating complex mental or emotional states or even past or recurrent trauma in our lives.

Our dreams may have more to share with us than we perceive.

Today's guest, dreamwork and Somatic Experiencing practitioner Julie MacAdam is passionate about the world of dreams and what's possible when we begin to pay attention.

I invited her to the podcast after I attended an experiential dreamwork practice she and her partner guided. It was a powerful journey that helped me to see the beauty in something that felt quite disturbing when I woke up from my dream.

In a way, it was a healing experience. And it helped me to gain insight into he power of incorporating dreamwork into the therapeutic environment, especially when we're moving through hard things - but really even in everyday life.

So many of us have past or current traumas, recurrent stress, or are navigating relational or collective complexities.

So why not begin to explore what our dreams might be offering us?

In this meandering conversation, Julie shares her embodied experience and also a whole lot of direction around ways you can begin finding gems in your dreams, as soon as tonight. :)

What does it mean to be "erotically alive"?

And how can connecting with the earth and your senses enhance that experience?

Today's episode is a beautiful conversation with sex and relationship coach Usha Rose all about how to incorporate your relationship to plants, elements, seasons, the earth and more into your sensuality and sexuality practice.

We talk what ecosensuality is, how that differs from ecosexuality, and ways to embody these practices whether you're outside or inside.

We also explore the concept of sex magic and how it actually works -- as well as the best ways to work with it and why it's not essential to be at climax or orgasm to effectively use it.

You can even engage this practice while dancing or exercising or even just being aroused ecosensually in nature!

She says "I am not ever wasting this erotic energy because it’s powerful fuel that can be directed towards healing of the planet, so at the least I’m sending a prayer with my orgasm" -- and I'm hoping this conversation inspires more of us to do this too!

We are powerful creators, especially when we're in altered states.

So let's spread this potential for our pleasure to bring forward a world we wish to see to those of us who deeply feel, care, and wish for a world filled with integrity, compassion, and earth connection.

We need it in these times, more than ever.

What herbs can help bring your bleed on? This is a question I've been asked in so many ways over the years.

Honestly probably one of the most common. And we ALL deserve access to this information. Especially in these... turbulent times.

I'm not talking abortifacients, I'm talking when you are still in your luteal phase and would be expecting your menstruation in days or weeks.

THIS is the most effective time to be working with herbs. And today's episode is a medley speaking to three key herbs to consider working with for this reason.

While these snippets are not purely focused on contraception, they all speak to how these herbs work on multiple systems and in more than one way.

Herbs are dynamic, and often have a handful or even dozens of relevant actions. Which is why matching plants to people is a practice. It's not just "this herb for that thing" but how and when and why and who.

If you're curious to learn a little more about mugwort, wild carrot or motherwort, this episode is perfect for you.
