As the frost of winter blankets parts of earth, we find ourselves wrapped in the cozy musings of transition and the gentle guidance of nature's rhythm. Based on our recent travels, including to a snow-cloaked Yosemite, we invoke the power of nature's symbolism to inform our reflections on the year gone by. Our conversation meanders through the interplay of presence, intention, and the art of slowing down. We begin with a guided meditation that invites you to feel the essence of change and embrace the unfolding gifts of the coming year.
With each passing story and shared experience, we unearth the profound influence of humility on our journey, mirroring the unassuming strength of Yosemite's ancient sequoias and the steadfast violet. This episode is a tapestry woven with threads of gratitude, intentionality, and the practice of 'Wu Wei'—effortless action that trusts life's currents. As we look forward to a musical tribute to humility with Ariel Loh, we invite you to lend an ear to the harmonies of "Tiger Lily," a melody that cradles the spirit of open-hearted receptivity. Join us for an exploration of how to stand strong yet supple amidst life's ebb and flow, and welcome the new with grace and poise.

This theme for the second season of our podcast is Collective Acceleration.
We believe stories are maps. These words are a technology to help us navigate life.
The 39 plants in the Gratitude Blooming card deck are wayfinding points to our Collective Acceleration.
Each week we share stories from the frontlines of this new landscape. We will have teachers, healers, leaders and many other changemakers join us to share their emergent practices.
The stories become the map we create together across our lives and even into the metagarden.
For each episode, we will drop a new limited-edition digital art, an NFT. Collecting them is how you can support our podcast, movement and participate in future utility, including discounts at Gratitude Blooming and Hestia Retreat Center.

As we transition to a new year, we revisit the concept of tenacity and how it is represented by the dandelion.
The dandelion is a symbol of transformation, going from a yellow flower to a white puff ball to seeds. Similarly, we can transform our minds by practicing gratitude and shifting our focus from negative thoughts to positive ones. This helps us to cultivate a growth mindset and become more resilient.
As we enter the new year, it's a good time to reflect on this theme of tenacity and how we can cultivate it in our own lives. Remember, we have the power to choose which thoughts we want to focus on and to transform our minds for the better.

In this episode of our podcast, we are joined by Liz Childs Kelly, the author of the book "Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of The Sacred Feminine." Liz shares with us her journey of co-creating the world she wants to live in by trusting in flow, trust, and faith, rather than following a rigid ten-step formula.
Liz tells us about how inspiration struck her one morning, leading her to write her book, but how it took a few more years of living before it could be finished. The pandemic hit, and Liz found herself driving an RV across the country, dreaming of what the future could hold. She shares with us how her work was not done with her. It took six or seven years to complete. Liz was famished for information on the history of the divine feminine and her extensive research shows that even Neanderthals had carvings that resembled maternal symbols.
This episode will leave you inspired to co-create the world you want to live in and to trust in the flow of life. Tune in to hear Liz's unique perspective on the sacred feminine and her journey of bringing her book to life.
