#34: The Evolutionary Purpose of our Shadow with Adam Gainsburg

07/11/23 • 60 min

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.

#33 Devotion Expressed Above and Below with Andrea Michelle Haeckel

Astrologer Andrea Michelle is back on the Living Tantra Podcast by popular demand. In this conversation we weave through the expression of Devotion as one of the faces of Shakti (below) and how it presents in the wisdom streams of the asteroid goddess (above). Devotion is a natural expression of and toward what we most deeply desire on a soul level. The more deeply we embody devotion, the more we live a life navigated from the love in our heart and the wisdom of our soul. In this compelling conversation we explore the experience and purpose of devotion in our inner experience and our archetypal reflections. This interview is information, profoundly transmissive, and a deeper invitation into your innate feminine (yes for men too) quality of devotion.

#35 Archetypes in Service to Our Full Spectrum Embodiment with Matt Sturm

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.
