A New Translation of the Orphic Hymns, Remembering Purpose, Myth of Orpheus in Connection to the Natural World & Belonging as a Spiritual Nerd w/ Kristin Mathis of Mysteria Mundi

A New Translation of the Orphic Hymns, Remembering Purpose, Myth of Orpheus in Connection to the Natural World & Belonging as a Spiritual Nerd w/ Kristin Mathis of Mysteria Mundi

Kristin Mathis of Mysteria Mundi (meaning "Mysteries of the World") is a scholar of ancient Mediterranean esoterica, magic and religion, and is working on a new translation of the Orphic Hymns that does justice to the many layers ad meaning in the texts, which formed the backbone of the Orphic Mystery tradition. The Orphic Hymns mention natural phenomena like the planets, earth, clouds, heavens, etc. as they presuppose a cosmos that is alive and vibrant which we can come into direct conversation with. In this episode Kristin and I chat about her journey of translating this set of hymns in Ancient Greek, sharing the importance of recovering ancestral practices that we've forgotten and how they relate to the world around us, the influence of her childhood in Borneo,  remembering our purpose, the importance of myth in our daily lives and culture, the Myth of Orpheus as a story about coming into relationship with the natural world and listening to the world and its creatures, our struggles of feeling belonging as a "spiritual nerd" and intuitively communicating with an old Willow Tree as a personal healing practice.

Disconnecting and Reconnecting with Nature, Bridging the Gap between Science and Energy & Scat and Animal Tracking w/ Monica Rosenquist of Elderberry Life & Spiritual Coaching

Monica Rosenquist of Elderberry Life & Spiritual Coaching is a certified life coach, lightworker and Reiki Master who helps people reconnect and remember their connection to the earth through 1:1 coaching and courses. In this episode Monica and I chat about her journey from elementary school teacher to intuitively being drawn toward a career in life and spiritual coaching, our moment of disconnect and reconnection with nature, her concept of naked trees and how we can also show up as our true selves, Nature School with the kids, bridging the gap between energy and science, bringing elements of nature into the home, AND.. scat (yes, poop) and animal tracking on the trails. She loves hiking and observing nature and brings her excitement and observations into her coaching container to support her clients.

Monica's Demystifying Energy Healing workshop is coming up on 9/27! Check out the details here.
