  [SPEAKER_00]: I care about creativity, healing, expression.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I care about balance, beauty, and being in connection to the earth, to the rhythm of the moon, to the mystery of it all.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I love shapes, colors, textures, and patterns.

• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love the ocean and the mountains, I love collecting shells, rocks and feathers, I love books.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm clear sentient, so I feel a lot.

• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll put a link to the membership in the show notes if you're interested in checking that out.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's me in a nutshell.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now let's talk about the wear.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: This podcast is being recorded at our rental house in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: A beautiful, beautiful place, the original homeland of the Abonaki people.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've lived here for a year now.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: My family and I have been living a somewhat nomadic life for the last
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: three years.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as you can imagine that comes with a lot of adventure and a lot of challenges, including just the sheer physicality of moving things from one place to another.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Through this process, we've minimized our physical belongings, which is felt really good for my husband and I, really therapeutic.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even though there was a purpose for each move, I'm calling in steadiness for our family.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're already for it.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as I share about where I am, I really want to speak about the specific land I live on because it's very important to me.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the last year of living in this house, I have established such a profound relationship with the spirits on this land.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are definitely a big part of the energy of this podcast.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is late summer here.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Golden Roddenaster are abundant along the backdrop of the Green Mountains.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our yard is home to several incredible trees, including white birch, some maple, conifer, and some apple trees.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have each become a friend to me and they are encouraging the work that is unfolding around harmony.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know them as the land council and I am part of the land council.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm the human member and it's an honor to be working with them and co-creating with them.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: The land council guides me, teaches me, protects me, heals me.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Learning to harmonize with the many spirits on this land is truly the most incredible honor.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm really eager to see how our relationship blossoms.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just started working on a book that focuses on documenting each member, their name, the spirits name, and I'll be writing and painting in this book.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as I work on the book, I'm sure I'll have some stories to share with you here.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now let's touch on the win.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I plan to release a podcast every two weeks.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: As I said, I have two kids and a third almost with my mother.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Things are always a little unpredictable, but I want to show up consistently.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The episodes will, for the most part, be short-form, as that should enable me to maintain this bi-monthly rhythm.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Next, let's explore the what.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what exactly will I be sharing regarding hermany?
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know this is really broad, but pretty much all things harmonious that I come across.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: A couple of years ago, the word harmony seemed to be following me around.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So much so I started asking, what is harmony really, what does it want for me, what does it want from my soul, what does it want to say to me or through me, what would harmony
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: In some ways, it was a strange word to be hearing in my life, because it felt like, at that time, and maybe still now, a little bit, that things were really crumbling to the ground.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I didn't really identify with this word harmony, yet the word kept returning to me.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So these questions are a lot of what I'm going to be exploring here on this podcast.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: which leads me to the how.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will begin by sharing my own stories and how harmony has shown and continues to show up in my life.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I believe we'll dive into how harmony is woven into the fabric of so many healing modalities and systems.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: and Harmony is present in nature, art, color, music, design, and so we'll explore all kinds of places where Harmony arises.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: There will likely be some conversations with colleagues and friends, and I'll be focusing on four areas of healing with Harmony.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: The physical body, the mind body, the creative body, and the subtle body.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll be exploring all that over time.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: and lastly why?
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why discuss harmony when the world is so out of balance right now?
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is precisely because the world feels so fractured, so fast, so disjointed, that speaking of harmony, exploring harmony, and creating harmony in small ways within our lives becomes essential.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: To me, Harmony does not deny the grief, the chaos, or the imbalance.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Instead, it can hold the wounds while offering a way forward that is healing.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: To talk about Harmony is to remember there is an underlying current of connection between our inner world and the wider cosmos.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Harmony is not a perfect state, but an ongoing practice.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: By naming harmony, we plant seeds of possibility.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: We remind ourselves and others that balance is not lost forever.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: It can be cultivated moment by moment.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Through the choices we make, the beauty we tend and the ways we live from the heart.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this first episode is simply to mark my intention in sharing my voice in devotion to harmony.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be back again in a couple of weeks with episode two, so stay tuned.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for listening.
