As time slows down during quarantine I’ve been so much more observant of the world outside my doorstep. I’ve noticed how the flowers change each day, which plants the bees are most drawn to, new life sprouting from seeds, and how alive and changing the natural world really is when we are still enough to witness.

Today’s episode with Gabriella Takutzima takes us inside the practices of honoring the seasons and cycles of Mother Earth, the importance of ceremony and how to harness our innate inner magic by connecting more deeply with the natural world…

In this episode we discussed:

  • Why do we practice ceremony? Where does it come from?

  • Why is it so important for the modern woman?

  • Shamanism + Paganism and what drew Gabriella to these paths

  • Earth Embodiment + Women's Wellness

  • How connection to our Bodies and Desires is the ultimate act of Worship to the Goddess

  • Connection of our cycles to the Seasons

  • Witchcraft + Women's Magic - the importance of the Witch in modern society

  • How to reclaim our inner Witch + harness our innate magic

  •  Circling with the Seasons - Gabriella’s course to attune to the Wheel of the Seasons as women
