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.

Permaculture, Garden Design & Remembering Ourselves as Cyclical Beings w/ Morgan Visalli of Grow with Mo
Morgan Visalli of Grow with Mo is a Certified Permaculture Designer, garden consultant and ecologist with over 10 years of experience in organic and regenerative gardening. She currently tends land on ¾ acre in Ojai, California and teaches how to grow food, compost, and reconnect with nature in a regenerative and practical way.
Her Soil & Soul Workshop is a virtual gathering where we explore and integrate the decomposition part of nature’s cycle, which then feeds our next phase of creation and builds the fertile ground for our dreams to sprout. A guided meditation and embodiment practice helps you release and compost old patterns, habits, and ways of being, in concert with the moon. Join her next online workshop on September 22nd here!
