Axioms Of Grace

In our conversation, "Discovering the Evolutionary Purpose of our Shadow" Astrologer and Transformational Guide Adam Gainsburg shares that the shadow is the antithesis of who we are. This antithesis is so deeply imbedded in our experience in life that we don’t see it. It simply informs an entire subconscious layer of our thoughts and feelings. The shadow gets revealed to us through mirrors in others. The triggers that life brings us that show us where we are uncomfortable, contracted, or in denial are ushering us into the opportunity to more directly meet our own darkness within. Through meeting ourselves more humbly in our limitations, we become empowered into a fullness of all that we authentically are. This profound and loving interview casts a clear and accessible light on shadow work, and the courage necessary to embark on this necessary journey into our humanity. May this episode give you even more permission to welcome your own darkness as the initiatory into your light.

In this episode I explore our relationship to the elements both inside and out. Everything that we know as life has some form of process having to do with the elements as the substance of life itself.

The elements are the constituents the creative mind uses to create and destroy phenomena (or our sensory experience beyond thought or intuition). Just as they are the shells that hold the density and interplay of our world, they also grant us entry into their unique emanations of luminosity and wisdom. The more nakedly we meet the elemental aspects of ourselves arising in our experience, the more we avail ourselves to aspects of our own essential nature. The elements themselves are not polarized through negative or positive qualities, however they express our karmic affinities through their interrelationship with each other. Refining our connection to our elemental nature can penetrate deeply into the remaining density in the display of our lives. Enjoy this exploration into feeling your elemental nature.

Archetypes are often used in myths and storytelling across different cultures. They represent a symbol or pattern inherent in our human experience. When we bring conscious relationship to archetypes they become a means for us to more fully inhabit the fuller spectrum of lives from and through an authentic expression. In this stimulating conversation, return guest Matt Sturm and I explore the role of four archetypes in psyche and sexuality. The feminine archetypes of Priestess and Queen and the more male archetypes of Pilgrim and King offer profound understanding and attunement inhabiting more of our sacred and service oriented feminine and masculine qualities. We explore each of these archetypes through the lens of their light and their shadow, and we articulate how they translate through our sexual expression, our relationship with other, and our service in the world. Conversations with Matt are always enlightening, engaging, and enriching and this one is a precursor to a collaborated virtual initiation we will be hosting later this year.

If you are feeling called to the next layer of unearthing these archetypes in your sexuality, your psyche, and your life join us for a month-long journey into the shadow and light. We will be holding space for teachings, sharing, and embodiment practices in two different circles: for women in connection with the Priestess and the Queen, and for men in relation to the Pilgrim and the King. We will also delve deep into the interfaces of these aspects in relation to the opposite gender role.

Secret according to the Oxford dictionary is defined as something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others. When kept in sacred, present, and safe space secrets become our inner most transparency and intimacy with another. When compartmentalized and hidden as a means not to expose our honest nature out of arrogance or fear they become sickness, feeding our belief in separation and isolation. Here power is distorted. Our shadow, when shared and seen by another through the eyes of love is our bridge from our secret sickness into our sacred humanity. And in this way we expose our innermost darkness and avail ourselves to our innermost love. Here our experience of being included in life, in love is undeniable. From secret societies, to the ritual of confession, to elementary school whispers amongst classmates, to our often secret discovery of sexuality...secrets are a deep part of our cultural and human experience. May this podcast inspire empowerment from your secrets of separation into your authentic sacred vulnerability. So often what we hide the deepest, once revealed and seen becomes the doorway into our greatest liberation.

One of my favorite podcast guests Matt Sturm is back, this time to speak about the Modern Day Warrior archetype in service to Masculinity in NOW times. This engaging conversation delves deep into the archetype that touches some of the darkest corners of human history. According to Matt, warriorship is not about distancing a man from these shadows, but becoming intimate with them in a way that evolves them into a purity of service to humanity. In this podcast, we explore the relationship between needs and violence. We discuss the potency of harnessing a man's erotic nature in service to becoming a peace warrior. And we uncover a glimpse of Matt's true vision of what is possible for humanity through this deeply embodied evolved archetype of Warrior.

This compelling conversation is the tip of the iceburg explored in Matt's book: "The Organic Masculine: Lorebook 2, The Warrior" being published in December 2024. His first book, "The Organic Masculine: Lorebook 1, The Magician" was just released last week. For links to this incredible read (for men and women), and more on Matt see links below.
