About this listen

 The void as a symbol represents the cosmic womb, the uncreated place where all things emerge. It is the liminal, the imaginal, it is the womb, the soil. The void is the black of a new moon night. It is seed wisdom. And soil wisdom. It is the oceanic depths, too deep for our imagining. It is the realm of the goddess. And of the moon. And of the creative process. Inside of this podcast, we explore all things change, initiation, and the creative process. Some of the things you'll hear us talking about on the The Void are the mysteries of the creative process, deep world initiations, the psychospiritual descent to soul, and our eros, our sexual lifeforce and kundalini energy rising up through our bodies to meet us with vitality as we vote for life. We will talk about the magdalene mysteries of manifestation as well as the law of assumption, nervous system healing, and feeding your life with new stories, new templates, new codes that have their roots in the old myths of the many faced, multi-aspected goddess. We will talk about somatic mythwork and how when we weave new constructs to live by, the world changes. We talk about relationships and explore regenerating our ways of relating. We talk about psychedelic assisted change processes and ceremony. We will talk about the edges and threshold of identity death, deep change, and regenerative masculinity.

  • The Relationship between Descent and Vision

    The Relationship between Descent and Vision
    May 16 2024

    There is a natural relationship between descent and vision. And in our culture, we don't associate the two together.

    "The descent is also often a process of arriving in the body and, through that, the depths of the underworld. Coming from a society that praises the rational, visible and quantifiable, we may not immediately trust the dark or easily adapt to this new landscape." - Carly Mountain
