Nurture pod 54: Pele Says Hilo

Welcome back to the Nurture Pod. In this episode there is a volcanic eruption, tai chi sweat and a magical tale of one Hawaiian woman's journey to build a temple of Gratitude.

February has been a wild ride. The year of the fire horse begins in a full gallop. Neptune and Saturn conjunct at 0 degree of Aries pushes the cosmic reset button on 6,000 years of human development and more Aries fire is coming in March and April.

Iris reporting from the mighty confluence of Columbia river and the Pacific ocean and Ginger checking in from the lava encrusted coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Nurture Pod 53: Dream of the Blue whale

Aloha from Maui! After a wild January and potentially even wilder February Iris and Ginger reconnect across the mighty Pacific ocean.

The humpback whales have gathered around the island of Maui to give birth and mate in the warm tropical waters. They also spend many hours hanging suspended in the ocean sending frequencies to the depths of the ocean, filling the water with their songs.

In this final shed of the wood snake year and on the threshold of the year of the fire horse new moon, a solar eclipse and historic Neptune and Saturn conjunction at 0 degrees of Aries all in one week! Hold onto your hats. Big transformations are underway.

What can whale magic teach us for these times? Listen as we dive in.

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.
