Nurture Pod 52: 2026 fire arrives. But first, in praise of water.

The final day in the Gregorian calendar has arrived. 2025 was a wild ride indeed. On this episode, Iris and Ginger weave threads from from Astoria- Belize as they ponder the lessons of the year and the moment we find ourselves in here on Planet Earth.

One thing is clear. 2026 will usher in more big changes. But never fear, the Nurture Pod will set sail along with all of you as we cross the bar to embark on a New Year.

Nurture Pod 51: Winter Solstice spelunking

Welcome to the New Moon in Sagittarius and Solstice tide.

As the solar year wanes in the Northern Hemisphere the invitation is to dissolve. To unburden ourselves of the many weights modern culture has tied to us.

In northern Belize, Ginger swims into the cave of the underworld filled with the skeletons of human sacrifices and in Astoria, Iris creates a Grotto to the Root Mother.

There are no answers to your questions in this episode but hopefully it will inspire you to question your answers.

A star filled Solstice blessing to everyone!

Nurture Pod 50: Full Moon in Gemini 5oth celebration

We have made it all the way to episode 50! A huge thank you for listening and supporting the Nurture pod.

This is a milestone moment of the podcast and marks one and a half years of production since we began recording on Spring Equinox 2024.

In this episode Ginger and Iris use the luminous full moon in Gemini to weave a conversation with the four elements air, fire, water and earth (honoring the theme of that first podcast).

As 2025 draws to a close we invite you to "play along" at home as we call in the energy of 50- of full moon- and of the beautiful nurture future our hearts know is possible.

Nurture Pod 48: New Moon in Scorpio- Standing on the Threshold

Welcome back to the Nurture Pod and to a powerful New Moon in Scorpio.

In this episode Iris and Ginger talk about the various thresholds, portals, spirals, crossroads, labyrinths and other liminal spaces that we find ourselves in.

How do we navigate spaces that are neither here nor there? Those in between times where the old has fallen apart but the new path has not yet appeared.

This time between Hallowmas and Winter Solstice (ruled by the astrological sign of death and rebirth- Scorpio) is the darkest time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

It's the perfect time to dive into the the deep waters of mystery and contemplate the cauldron of change.
