longing, belonging, and evolving
Happy New Moon in Pisces, dear ones!
I’m writing to you from a quiet space of dreaming and integrating - from the liminal space between deepening and expanded over the course of a weekend retreat and returning to everyday life with a sense of new possibilities and no clear answers… yet.
So to honor where I am, I’ll keep this brief: new podcast episode dropped this morning!
This episode, like a healthy nervous system, oscillates between the personal and the collective; between our individual stories and how that informs what we see as being ‘up’ for us as humans: what’s being asked of us, what we’re yearning for, and what evolution might, or even must, be possible.
How perfect then that I’m joined by Kristin Urbanus, a Professional Certified Coach, Spiritual Psychology and Somatic Touch practitioner, and yoga and meditation teacher - someone skilled in a multidimensional approach to transformation and evolution; who can both hear the body and hear the subtle and larger currents we humans ride.
The first thread you’ll hear us follow is an exploration of the difference between ‘knowing’ something and ‘experiencing’ it and that seems to come full circle when we wrap up by exploring how we recognize ‘truth’ from mirage; what ‘rightness’ feels like in our bodies.
Along the way, we also wend our way through :
- where orienting around “I think therefore I am” seems to have gotten us and some alternatives that might open up new possibilities for humanity;
- the role spaciousness, animism, body, and a sense of belonging to the wider world can play in making healing less scary;
- where ‘modern modalities’ seem to fall short in effectiveness, why, and what role old ways of knowing and relating might play in modern evolution;
- what we yearn for, why we distract ourselves;
- finding the part of ourselves we trust… and so much more.
There are a couple of moments Kristin flips the questions back around on me, continuing the trend of this podcast being less about interviews and more about conversations - two humans exploring the known and unknown, together.
Gather with us? Awaken with us? Be moved with us?
I hope you will.
There is plenty of room for all of you here.
With much love as we sing, dance, and walk each other home,
Kate

Dear ones - I hope you had a beautiful Beltane (for those in the Northern Hemisphere - Samhain for those in the Southern) - a time when the veil is thin between this world and the other and life is either at the height of bursting forth or at the beginning of its deepest diminishment. There are times when it feels so grounding to tune into the cycles of the year - nature’s rhythms. And times when the beauty of the continual flow of life feels so dissonant with the happenings of our human...
Dear ones - Happy Full Moon in Scorpio - a time for leaning into the death of things which are ready to release to make way for new life and aliveness. I write to you today from the mountains outside of Santa Fe where the warm sun balances the cold wind as it sighs through the cedars; and the full moon is bright enough to cast shadows while the coyotes yip and howl all night long. There are blooms. And on the highest peaks, there’s also still snow. Today’s podcast episode is a continuation of...
Dear ones - Endings are not as final as linearity would have us believe (although what we are mourning or celebrating the ending of - specific situations, relationships, individuals, etc - may never come back into our lives). Remembering the innate cycles and circularity to life returns us to the wisdom that endings are thresholds. And thresholds come with grief, discomfort, relief, excitement, fear, pain, and pretty much everything else a human can be capable of feeling. We often arrive at a...
