On the 15th episode of Mycelial, we speak with Reigan Jackson.

Reigan is a Melbourne-based evolutionary astrologer of Scottish and Irish ancestry, who comes from a Celtic and Pagan wisdom-based lineage. Her approach to astrology is deeply rooted in her ancestral Druidic wisdom and traditions. Her passions and teachings include cyclic living, archetypal understanding of consciousness and using Astrology to support planetary health and human evolution.

In her own words, Reigan is on a mission to bring astrology “back to responsibility” — moving it away from just prediction and escapism, and back towards using astrology as a tool to deeply understand ourselves so that we can find our place within the R/evolution.

In this Episode, we talk about how colonialism has programmed us to turn away from cyclical, soul-led ways of living, and how astrology became one of the ancient wisdom systems dismissed as “woo woo” in accordance with this. We explore why it can be healthy to question what has been suppressed, and what becomes possible when we reclaim these ways of knowing.

Reigan shares her perspective on the transition from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, what this pivotal moment means for humanity, and the movement from Pisces’s escapism towards Aquarius’ action at a time when we are being called to work together for the betterment of all. We also dive into the shadow side of the Age of Aquarius and its technological aspects, from AI and data centres to overstimulation and outrage and explore what it means to take radical responsibility for how we engage with these forces.

Lastly, Reigan shares why she sees 2026–27 as the most significant years for social change in her career, drawing parallels between the Uranus–Pluto cycles of the 1960s and the Uranus–Pluto trine unfolding now, and how we can consciously work with these energies towards liberation, collective action and deep structural transformation. We explore how understanding our individual charts can not only help us work through our shadows and discover our unique gifts but also to find our place in social change — making the question “But I’m just one person, how can I help?” feel a little less relevant. And Reigan shares some practical astrological insights and tools for navigating these times of enormous change — both as individuals and as a collective. And much more…..

This podcast is broadcast from the First Nation ancestral sacred lands of Bundjalung in so called Australia. I would like to pay my respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging, and any indigenous Elders listening in. I’d also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded in this country. Always was, always will be aboriginal land.

On the 14th episode of Mycelial, we speak with Techa Beaumont.

Techa has a background in creative arts and law and advocacy and for a decade worked on the frontlines as an activist in solidarity with remote communities (mostly indigenous) fighting Australian mining companies in places like Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and Africa.

For the past 10 years she has reoriented her activist efforts locally and has been supporting the cultural, environmental and community-led regeneration of our region here in Bundjalung/Northern Rivers NSW, Australia. She founded and runs 'Kulchajam' which is a not for profit artist run venue, Co-founded the 'Mullum Food Cooperative' and is the Executive Director of 'Seed Northern Rivers' which is a local organisation linking and supporting local groups that take action for healthy people, places and planet.

In Techa’s own words "I seek my work at Seed as continuing what has been a decolonial practice and whats been inspiring and motivating me most is how we truly move beyond our conditioning to a deeper act of collaborative practice, interbeing and relationality in how we chart our future together.''

In this Episode, we talk about what localisation is, how vulnerable the global economy is to environmental disasters and geopolitical circumstances like we have seen in the Strait of Hormuz and how much more stable and fortified localised communities/economies are in the face of chaos and crisis.

Techa also shares about how rigged the system is in favour of the extractive global economy vs Earth-centred local systems and about what we unlock when we move from siloed existences into synergies - Unlearning individualism and moving into community.

Lastly, we talk radical hope and how to pass that on to the next generation; Stretch collaboration and how to cooperate for a better world even when we don’t necessarily agree on everything and 'doing conflict well' while working in groups. Even reframing it as regenerative. And much more…..

Massive Gratitude and Respect to Techa for her time, wisdom and action.

On the 13th episode of Mycelial, we speak with Jaja Dare.

Jaja is a Wiradjuri Original and an Artist, producer, curator and designer for cultural advocacy. Jaja is the national First Nations Programmer for Apple Music, creator of indigiTUBE, Decolonise Podcast Executive Producer and Host alongside being a 2025 National Regional Arts Fellow.

In their own words, Jaja has a great passion in reminding others that everything starts with connection to place and Jaja is ablaze with the exploration of how we move forward into what they call the ‘Knu’.

This is the most raw and tender conversation on the pod to date of where we find ourselves in late stage colonial capitalism and the many heartbreaks that stem from that but also the need to still find joy in day to day connection.

In this Episode, Jaja shares their perspective on what colonisation is and its inverse - what it means to decolonise (live and move in a decolonial way), That the internal revolution is just as important as the one in the outside world and How comfort is one of the biggest barriers to decolonising.

We also yarn about the fact the colony is set up in a way that criminalises poverty and trauma with indigenous peoples disproportionately on the receiving end and That the revolution or evolution is multi pronged involving amplifying revolutionary voices and action while also working on new systems to roll out when the colony does really fall in a profound way.

Lastly, Jaja underlines how words are spells and the importance of using our words consciously in the ushering in of new systems for all; and the power of courageous music and art in all its forms to support with decolonial evolution, solidarity and empathy. And much more…
