Empowered Food Systems - Code Switching & Recognizing and Appreciating Differences in Tone as Key to Productive Conversation About Controversial Issues

Two Resources to Wrap Up Leo I and 70 Episodes Signaling the End of Season One - A Few Oracle Cards & Next Steps

I had a plan to slowly phase out season one. But I keep feeling "August 15th" as some sort of line I need to draw for a lot of things in my life, and the podcast season one is part of the pruning. I will keep it open in the event I have "season two." To everything there is a season, there is a season for sharing and a season for learning. Some resources, update on how I am transitioning away from individual "done for you" legal service to "done with you" legal education and DIY contract offerings. Currently working on updating the Gaea Legal website behind the scenes and putting this on "simmer" as I transition to new projects.

This episodes offers a selection from Victoria Loorz's book, Church of the Wild. Some reflections on deer as a way of reflecting on Truths found in nature. Side notes on current cards I am using to brainstorm and organize life. Memo will transition to weekly episodes during Virgo season. One episode for Libra, one episode for Scorpio, and one final episode for 2023 Sagittarius. These episodes will likely be longer (at least one hour). I had always intended the podcast to "go silent" for Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces. It seems that this period every year I just really need to go internal. Will then consider a Season 2 beginning Pisces/Aries 2024 to track the U.S. Presidential 2024 election.
