The beginning of August is punctuated with high-intensity astrology that is sure to send shockwaves through our collective and individual systems. Mars is a key player, making a combative opposition to Saturn right before the Aquarius Full Moon on August 9th. We might let out a sigh of relief when Mercury stations direct on August 11th, but there will be plenty to integrate during the Mercury shadow period. These times are intensely political, witches. We aren’t shying away from bringing the mundane astrology to the forefront of this episode. With such egregious atrocities being perpetuated by authoritarian forces, we must continue to speak up and speak out. It’s important to stay grounded, stay awake, and stay in your power this Leo season!

Can prayer be a tool for deep healing and sacred connection?
Join us in conversation with Heidi Smith, psychosomatic therapist, herbalist, and author of The Bloom Book and The Uncommon Book of Prayer, as we explore the healing power of prayer as a somatic, spiritual, and ancestral practice.
Heidi shares how her work with survivors of complex trauma has evolved to include ritual, flower essences, and the wisdom of the body, and how prayer can be a sacred container for transformation. Together, we discuss the beauty of slow healing, the role of nature in trauma repair, and why reclaiming prayer can feel both radical and deeply personal.
✨ Whether you’re curious about trauma-informed ritual, or looking to reconnect to your spiritual guides, this episode offers gentle insight and embodied magic.
