Episode 166. Beginning Anew with the Sun + Podcast Pause Episode 166. Beginning Anew with The Sun + Podcast Pause Air Date: June 3, 2021 [Introduction] [0:00:00] Hello, Loves. Before we dive into our episode today, I just want to take a brief moment to let everyone know that enrollment for my eight-week Tarot course, Tarot for the Wild Soul, which starts on Wednesday, June 9th, that enrollment for that is going to be closing on Monday, June 7th at 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern. This is a totally brand-new, rebirthed version of this course. It's just — it continues to kind of blow my mind with how powerful and with how deep it is. We go over all 78 cards of the Tarot through a spiralic, nonlinear, seasonal framework. It's a very, very unique way of learning Tarot, one that I'm really enjoying teaching and creating material for. There are two hour weekly live calls with me every week for the eight weeks of the course, where you can ask questions, where you can connect with your fellow participants in breakout rooms. There's so much deep, sort of creative inquiry prompts, exercises to engage with for your own learning in our gorgeous workbooks. It's just a really, really special course. And yeah. And if you're drawn to working together this summer, I would be absolutely honored and delighted to join in the course journey with you. So again, enrollment does close soon on Monday, June 7th, end of day, 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern. And then we will begin our course journey on Wednesday, June 9th. © All materials property of Lindsay Mack and Tarot for the Wild Soul So thank you so much for being here. And if you'd like to know more, and if you'd like to learn more about the course, sign up for the course, you can go to tarotforthewildsoul.com, or you can click the link that will take you directly to the course page in the show notes for the podcast. Thank you again for being here, Loves. — (Instrumental intro music) [0:02:31] Hello, Loves, and welcome back to Tarot for the Wild Soul podcast. I am your host, Lindsay Mack. And as always, just so endlessly thankful and grateful to be gathered with all of you in this virtual shared space. Thank you so much for being here with me today. So this is a really special episode for a couple of different reasons. The first is probably most significantly that this is our final episode together before our extended podcast pause. I have all the feelings (Lindsay laughs) about our pause. There's tremendous contraction, there's wild expansion. Expansion can feel just as uncomfortable as contraction sometimes, so there's lots of big, evolutionary discomfort, which is always a great sign that something is growing, up-leveling, entering a necessary phase of rebirth. And so I'm holding all of the feelings that are arising (Lindsay laughs). And, you know, in light of that, I feel a lot of grief. There's been a lot of tears. Even though it's just a pause — it might even be a short pause — there's something about it that feels big. And perhaps I won't know why until a little bit later. But I do know whether this pause be very, very short — just a couple of months — or whether it be a year before we connect again, because I do think that might actually be possible, that that kind of time might want to be offered to this, what I do know is that I will certainly be back in this space and will likely have new, or at the very least, fresh things to say with hopefully a little bit more overflow in my cup. It's been, you know, quite the year (Lindsay laughs). And I've been blessed and privileged to have felt a call to serve this year. I've had so much creative overflow with my offerings, with my courses. And that's wonderful, but it is starting to catch up with me a little bit. © All materials property of Lindsay Mack and Tarot for the Wild Soul And I do know that for my process and really, I think, for anything, space, time, and nourishment are needed sort of across the board to allow for there to be new inspiration and a little bit of new life breathed into it. And I’m… I love this podcast, this podcast is its own being, as kind of out there as it sounds. And it's pretty clear to me that it wants to evolve and change to kind of match my growth, especially over the last two years in particular. It feels like it really could come back from this pause in kind of a really super different form. Maybe there could be different opportunities for education and community engagement in the new format. It might be really not that different at all. But maybe internally, it will feel differently for me. It could be externally super different (Lindsay laughs). I really don't know. I'm walking into the mystery, just the same as you. I think, just simply put, I'm ready for a pause. The podcast feels ready for a pause. There just needs to be a little bit of, a little bit of space and time in order for there to be, again, some necessary change, some perspective. And my deepest hope, and I think that's a part of all this is... you know, I don't often share things like this, but when I first started this podcast, you know, a couple years back, I had a lot more time on my hands. It was a lot easier to freely offer this podcast. It’s always been a huge energetic extension. And I don't say that, like… I love doing this podcast. Again, it's a privilege to do this podcast and a joy. But it does require quite a bit. Now the episodes are transcribed. Now they're, you know, handled with a lot more… there's a lot more hands on deck. And I want to make sure that I have a little time to brainstorm about ways to make that a bit more sustainable for me, for my energetic output, for my team. So yeah, a gentle pause just, for a million reasons, just feels absolutely appropriate. [0:07:31] So this is a full pause, which means that there won't be any Monthly Medicine episodes while I'm away. But I would strongly recommend if you are not signed up for my newsletter that you do so because I will — I always offer a little bit of an additional channel download in my monthly newsletters. © All materials property of Lindsay Mack and Tarot for the Wild Soul But now that I'm not doing Monthly Medicines in this podcast space, they will likely be really kind of deliciously robust (Lindsay laughs) going forward in my newsletter space. And by extension, maybe even my website space. Like, we might do a full blog post for each month and then link out to it in the newsletter, who knows. My newsletters are a really lovely source of learning, of podcast extras, of, you know, typically sometimes even taking a theme I've talked about and diving into it a little bit more deeply, special spreads that I don't share anywhere else. So I highly recommend signing up for it, not just to stay in touch with me over this pause, but to receive special incentives that only my subscribers do. And I'm also going on pause with Instagram (Lindsay laughs) for most of the summer, again, just in the same spirit as sort of a pause in the space. So the link to sign up for my newsletter is in the show notes. It's also on my website, tarotforthewildsoul.com. In addition, in the show notes, there's also a link to a special journal post on my website that goes into just sort of a little bit about what I shared here regarding the pause and also lists some of my favorite episodes if you kind of want to go back down memory lane and explore some of the back podcast eps while we're on pause together. And of course you know you can always find me, again, at my website. You can always email us at [email protected]. I will likely have a moment or two, other than the Tarot for the Wild Soul course starting on June 9th — I will probably take some time before I do another course. But it won't be too long because I already have — my body is exhausted, but I have a million ideas (Lindsay laughs) for different offerings that want to come through. So there will probably be a gentle break after this course. But there are still going to be offerings. It’s, again, just creating the necessary space to allow for that kind of growth to happen. So you'll still hear from me. We’ll still be in touch, even though I'll just be drawing a little further back into my own sort of self care and filling my own cup up. But you can also see some of those specially chosen past episodes that I personally really like on that journal post. That's also in your show notes. And eventually, I’ll be touched back in on Instagram, albeit probably less so, little by little.

  • The Hierophant, the Lovers, and the Chariot
    Tarot for the Wild Soul Episode 148: Deepening Tarot Connections: The Hierophant, The Lovers, and The Chariot Air Date: January 14, 2021 __ [Introduction] [0:00:00] (​Instrumental intro music) [0:00:12] Hello Loves and welcome back to Tarot for the Wild Soul podcast. I am your host, Lindsay Mack, and as always, it is such a joy, a delight and an honor to be gathered with you in this virtual space that we're sharing. Thank you so much for being here. I just want to start the podcast by offering a lot of love and acknowledgement to the nervous systems, hearts of all the folx listening to this. If you are still feeling rattled and deeply affected by the attempted coup by insurrectionists, white supremacists, that took place in the United States on the Capitol Building, it is not only utterly and completely understandable but, in fact, normal to have such a strong or overwhelmed response to such a violating event. The ripple effects from it are imbued with injustice and rage and the absolute need for accountability, for accounting of harms, to name a few, like demands and needs. I just really wanted to name first and foremost that if you're feeling tender, touchy, exhausted, enraged, all of the feelings, they're all valid and I am with you in them and witnessing you in them. And I hope that, in the best way that you're able, that you can really nourish and honor your body and your nervous systems as best as you can.

  • La Verde Copenaghen Si Collega Al Mondo Attraverso L’ESC
    * La Guida all'Eurovision Song Contest 2014 è ora disponibile anche in versione e-book. Scaricala gratuitamente sui principali store digitali o sul nostro portale al link escne.ws/ebook La grande festa Europea della musica C’è chi la definisce “La Champions League” della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L’Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d’Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l’EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l’ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d’Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l’abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l’abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2014 37 paesi aderenti all’ente organizzatore. L’idea venne nel 1956 a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio: un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente. Da allora, nel corso degli anni, la manifestazione è cresciuta in maniera costante, passando da evento da teatri e auditorium per un ristretto numero di spettatori a festa popolare. Dall’inizio degli anni 2000, quando la manifestazione comincia ad approdare nei palasport, negli stadi e nelle arene, l’Eurovision Song Contest è diventato un vero e proprio kolossal paneuropeo.
