This week’s episode is a mixed bag, a treat bag party favour, if you will - we covered the topics of the “capital C” Community (building one online and how to find one in real life), we dove into the Taurus eclipse and Celtic willow tree cycle, we chatted about the tarot cards associated with this astrological time, and we offered a few ways for you to tap into this energy personally.
Digressions include miniclip.com, the phone numbers from childhood you’ll never forget, giving yourself time to heal your social battery after a time of collective trauma, and how to befriend your neighbours in a non-creepy way.
