Nature and the Supernatural with Norther Emily

What might we discover in the deep, dark woods? This spooky season, we wander to where the natural and supernatural worlds meet with wilderness skills expert and guide, Norther Emily. Gather round the campfire to hear Norther's tales of some seriously strange happenings in wild places — from ghosts, to cryptids, to Bermuda Triangle-like mysteries — and learn from Norther about foraging, wilderness navigation, and how we can create a more harmonious personal relationship with nature.

Tarot for Liberation with Maria Minnis

We are over the moon to welcome Maria Minnis to the Outerknown this week! Maria is a tarot reader, ritual facilitator, educator, and most recently, author of Tarot for the Hard Work. We went deep with her about how the tarot can be a tool to do deep shadow work around internalized racism and biases, as well as decolonizing our ideas about self-love. Maria also gives us a sneak peak at some exciting projects she’ll be offering this fall. We really hope you enjoy this moving conversation!

From the 28-day cycle of the moon, to the 248-year cycle we're completing in this election year with the United States' Pluto return, we examine how to use astrology for archetypal self-discovery, how to ground oneself during collective turmoil, and how to quell our astrological anxiety.
