Virginia invites Susan and Tamara to explore role models, archetypes and the choice of looking to the world stage and our local communities to identify those shining ones who inspire and encourage us.How do you embody an archetypal example of arrival, growth and manifestation?

As promised from day one, we three end our first year of podcasting talking about DEATH. And the bewitching and often difficult task of "living while we're alive", because holy hell, who knows what comes next?!The Crones share intimate tales about sitting vigil at the deathbeds, near-death experiences, living day-to-day with the knife-edge of death looming near, and the ways in which we can practice surrender to the unknown during this season of dark mystery and all things which go bump...
It was all Susan's idea, so you know where to place the blame...we veered away from any whiff of wisdom and avoided the quest for answers completely. We've been away from our 3 Crones posts for a month now...because...LIFE! It felt like time to truth-tell and let it all hang out...a "venting" episode you might call it. Heartfelt, emotional, open, vulnerable. True confessions that even I might field as "whining" if I were standing in a different more upbeat energy and t...

Episode 8: Double Deep Dive

A listener asked us to keep delving deeper into our personal relationships with the Earth. If we care for (or harm) ourselves in the same ways that we care for (or harm) our Great Mother...then where might the questions and discussion lead us in terms of reciprocity and reverence...our love of Gaia...HOW exactly do we love the planet?"What would happen if you brought that tiny cauldron outside, burned your list of all that doesn't serve you in broad Moonlight. What would happen if you n...
Virginia guides our trio through an exploration of Gaia theory, and of course we wander and stray "off" topic only to end up precisely where the essence and truth of our Great Mother would have us BE.We wend our way through the passages of personal struggles with death, war and physical and emotional pain to meet our unending capacities for healing, presence and compassion. And if we can practice integration and balance for ourselves, we know that we can (and will) transform pain and su...
How else would we begin again in a new year, but with the essential Step ONE...self care. This is a topic to return to over and over throughout a lifetime. How can we hold ourselves AS WE ARE in devotion, acceptance, respect and loving kindness so that we can live fully and vitally into our relationships, days and experiences? Because without prioritizing this question, we will likely be diminished and deflated with the demands of a misguided overculture and our own critical...

Go without sight,and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,and is traveled ...
Virginia guides our discovery of Hecate at the Crossroads...this quintessential Crone archetype offers a way to look more closely at the aspects of aging and maturing that increase power and authenticity rather than diminishing our light as a patriarchal society would have it. What is the value of a woman if she is past the age of child-bearing? How does the over-culture disfigure feminine beauty, relevance and brilliance?What aspects of Hecate are alive in your life right now?Whic...

Episode 26: Sex

At launch, we promised our podcast listeners that we'd "talk about it all" and then took 25 episodes to tiptoe into a conversation about SEX. This month, Virginia and Tamara venture into this vast topic with their musings about sexuality and culture, womanhood and coming of age, the rites we are missing and hopes for new generations. We know this is only a drop in the ocean of intimacy, primal desire and sacred sexuality. Let us know which waves you'd like to hear us r...
Tamara invited us into a talk about NAVIGATION...and it feels just right for this time, sorting out a direction but also a state of being that allows for wild cards and rerouting.Where are we and where are we headed? How can we tell if we are "on course"? What tunes our listening to the "still, small voice" that assures our arrival in a reality that suits our soul?Join us three as we wend our way through the brambles around these questions and more. Especially at a time when...

We love retreats! We lead them, we take them, we dream them up in our waking hours and in our sleep. We've been hosting them together for a long time and we've learned so much over the years.How women NEED retreat. How everyone is transformed, no matter what. How traveling to touristy, "best" destinations with other yogis really isn't the ideal anymore, rather a beautiful spot to settle into and rest does the body and soul good. How once per year is not enough.Su...
