Taurus 2025 Reflections:

Kristi notes common themes with her massage clients, introduces proprioception and interoception as a starting place for developing a mindfulness practice, -Gabrielle notes themes in the collective conscious related to Chthonic energy and Dark Moon Goddesses- noting Scorpio as the Taurus polarity point and invitation for release. And we close with a conversation about of Bhramari Pranayama (bumble bee breath) and finding your authentic voice.

In this episode, I have a conversation with two landscape designers, Jo Salmon and Bettina Baschy as a way of deepening our understanding of the wisdom of Taurus season. They both articulate the experiences of being in and working with the garden, not only as an artistic expression, but also as a way to enjoy the 5 senses, create privacy, play with color/texture/height/sound, boost the immune system, and invite life into your yard. Whether you are into gardening or not, their descriptive language will transport you into a calm, relaxed and grounded state of being.
