In this episode of Heart Light Sessions, Jenee Halstead sits down with Kathe Izzo, widely known as "The Love Artist," to explore her remarkable journey as an artist, subtle activist, and mentor. Kathe shares how she weaves love, subtle activism, and art into a powerful framework for navigating the challenges of late-stage capitalism, empire, and resistance. Her evolving spiritual practice—shaped by the ongoing occupation and genocide in Gaza—emphasizes the urgency of finding purpose and tenderness amidst global turmoil.
This heartfelt conversation also delves into Jenee and Kathe's shared experiences within the Kundalini yoga community, particularly their time at Ra Ma L.A. with Guru Jagat. Reflecting on the recent HBO documentary Breath of Fire, they examine the complexities of spiritual leadership, cult-like dynamics, and personal growth. With vulnerability and insight, Kathe underscores the importance of stepping away from large-scale consumerism and embracing responsibility for creating planetary equity. Through the lens of activism rooted in love and tenderness, this episode encourages listeners to reflect on their roles in building a more compassionate world.

Cultivating Heart-Led Living Through Flower Consciousness and Daily Ritual with Jessica Allen
Let's Connect! Send us a Text Message.
Have you ever felt a deep, unspoken connection with nature that seems to unlock hidden parts of yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica Allen, a flower witch and feminine ritualist, as we explore the profound teachings of plant medicine and the rituals that can transform our daily lives. Jessica shares her transformative journey from childhood experiences with nature to discovering how yoga helped her articulate the powerful messages she’d always felt from the earth.
Through the lens of lavender, Jessica reveals the subtle yet transformative power of plants in guiding our intuition and helping us embrace our authentic selves. We discuss the delicate dance between mind and heart, where the mind is a problem-solver, but the heart leads with wisdom and deep connection. This episode delves into how cultivating practices of intuition and somatic work can help women reclaim their feminine energy and body sovereignty, ultimately living a more connected, heart-led life.
Join us in this conversation about self-awareness, internal guidance, and the path to becoming an ‘earth warrior’—living with courage, grace, and a deep sense of connection to the natural world.
