As i write this we are moving into the New Moon in Taurus, and the giddy reality of spring in northern Wisconsin. The grass seems to be greening right before my eyes. To be enchanted by and engaging in the upswelling of spring is a gift of life and aliveness!
This New Moon brings a collaboration with cultural architect Adriana Forte and our emergent conversation exploring the medicine of the underworld, why underworld journeys matter in young women’s lives and other rhythmic realities. If you haven’t listened to the story Demeter & Persephone, shared earlier, it is the foundation for our conversation.
If you are new to A Year & a Day, welcome! Thank you for dropping in for this 13 month journey in praise and exploration of the seasons of women’s lives. Each month until April of 2026 i’ll share a story around the full moon and around the new moon, some ripe experimental collaborations iterating & emerging from that story.
Also if these posts hold meaning and value for you, please consider becoming a paid subscriber, supporting the energy & time that going into this offers.
Thank you for your bright listening!
Yours in the ongoing
