What does it mean to truly listen to the land? In this soulful and thought-provoking conversation, Mahala Frye shares her decades of experience working with devas, nature spirits, and sacred land. From her early connection with mountains to her training in Peruvian shamanism and the Paralandra co-creation model, Mahala invites us to imagine a world where energetic healing begins with relationship.

We talk about forest bathing, land clearing, daily grounding rituals, and how to reawaken our intuition in collaboration with the more-than-human world. Whether you’re a seasoned earth-based practitioner or just beginning to explore spiritual ecology, this conversation will inspire you to deepen your relationship with the living Earth.

Tune in to hear:

• What devas and nature spirits are (and how to work with them)
• How energetic land clearing works—at home and across continents
• Why spiritual practice starts with listening
• And how walking barefoot might be your best medicine yet

Walk in beauty. All is made beautiful.

In this soulful, story-rich episode, the Crones wade into the sacred, emotional, and energetic aspects of water—how it shapes the land, nurtures our bodies, holds memory, and even responds to intention. Drawing from science (Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water crystal studies), personal ritual, and ancestral traditions, they share reflections, stories, and a powerful water blessing practice you can try at home.

You’ll hear about sacred wells, dolphin encounters, moon rituals, and ceremonies that balance masculine and feminine energies in young people—all rooted in our deep connection with water. Plus, you’ll learn how to charge your own water with loving intention and experience the difference for yourself.

If you're feeling thirsty for connection, transformation, or just a little magic—this episode is for you.

Highlights:

• Reverence for water in spiritual and daily life
• A guided water blessing technique
• Childhood and adult water ceremonies
• Emotional resonance of water and its healing potential
• Reflections on the role of water in building relationship and community

In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the complex relationship between fire and change, exploring how this elemental force can act as both a destroyer and a healer. As cultural midwives, we aim to share wisdom through storytelling and research, and this episode is no exception.

Our discussion begins with a powerful listener feedback from a previous episode, highlighting the myriad ways fire can evoke memories and emotions. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of fire as a change agent, particularly in the context of the devastating wildfires that have become a regular occurrence in regions like California.

We invite our dear friend Diane, an author and horsewoman from Northern California, to share her experiences with fire and its impact on animals. Diane's insights into the emotional toll on both pets and wildlife during fire season are profound. She emphasizes the importance of preparation and the need to think ahead, especially when it comes to our beloved four-legged companions.

Throughout the episode, we discuss practical tools and strategies for coping with the aftereffects of trauma, grief, and shock. We touch on the significance of being calm in chaotic situations, as animals often mirror our emotional states. This connection reinforces the idea that our own grounding and centering can help not only ourselves but also the animals in our care.

The conversation also highlights the reciprocal relationship between humans and animals during crises. As we share stories of resilience and survival, we recognize the importance of community support and the need to be there for one another – both human and animal alike.

Listeners are encouraged to think about their own preparedness plans, including creating go bags for their pets, and to consider the emotional needs of their animals during stressful times. The episode serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings and the healing power of shared experiences.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of fire, trauma, and healing, and discover how we can better support ourselves and our animal companions in the face of change.

Tune in now for an enriching conversation that will leave you with insights and tools to walk your talk and act from your heart's desire.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the fascinating and multifaceted topic of fire as a healing element. Hosted by Linda, Betty, and Sally, our conversation takes us on a journey through the cultural, spiritual, and emotional significance of fire in our lives.

Fire is not just a physical phenomenon; it is an ancient symbol of transformation and renewal. As we navigate through the chaos of modern life, the energy of fire becomes increasingly relevant. From the devastating wildfires in California to the seasonal celebrations honoring fire, we explore how this elemental force resonates with our human experience.

One of the key themes in our discussion is the concept of feminine fire. This idea encapsulates the notion of inspiration, creativity, and the spark of life that resides within each of us. We reflect on personal experiences, including the challenges of menopause, which can feel like a fiery transformation in itself. These moments of change can lead to profound personal growth, as they encourage us to connect with our inner flames and embrace our true selves.

We also dive into the historical significance of fire, tracing its role throughout human evolution. From providing warmth and protection to enabling the creation of advanced tools, fire has been integral to our survival and development as a species. It is a source of light in the darkness, a catalyst for change, and a reminder of the sacredness of life itself.

As we engage with the spirit of fire, we encourage our listeners to explore their own relationships with this powerful element. Whether through candle gazing or simply reflecting on where the spirit of fire resides within you, there are many ways to connect with its energy.

In this episode, we invite you to consider how fire can serve as a healer in your own life. By acknowledging the transformative power of fire, we can learn to embrace change, release what no longer serves us, and ignite our passions.

So, gather around the metaphorical fire with us, and let’s explore the warmth, wisdom, and healing that fire brings. Tune in to our latest episode and discover how you can harness the power of fire for your own journey of transformation.
