A podcast that celebrates the Christopagan or Christianwitch path. Meditative prayers and simple rituals along with discussions of the world, life, and spirituality.
Episode 9: Welcome Brigid! An Imbolc Meditation
If you live in a place without snow or a tough winter, the idea of celebrating the halfway point seems a little . . . silly.  So instead we look at how to celebrate Imbolc by focusing on our thriving and flourishing.  Join me for a meditation to personally connect with Brigid the goddess most commonly celebrated at Imbolc.

Episode 8: Untying the Knot-Shadow Work & Integration Meditation
Shadow work has been getting a lot of press lately (or at least I've begun to notice).  I'm sharing a meditation that I've begun to use in my journey to integrate my Shadow.  I hope that it's meaningful and helpful to you, especially in this time that may be triggering all of your survival shadows!

Episode 7: Christmas for the non-traditional
For many of us ex-vangelicals, the candlelight Christmas Eve service is something that still triggers a yearning for tradition.  I created this podcast for you to use to rekindle some of that old feeling, but in a way that opens the door to other belief systems or your current re-framing. This is a walk through the weeks of advent, leading up to celebrating Christmas.  At the end, there is a reading of the traditional Christmas birth story, but I have tried to focus the rest of the readings on the universal themes of advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.   I hope this is meaningful to you and helps bring you comfort this Christmas season. If you would like to listen to the music I mention in the podcast, here is a playlist.
