Neil Moseley, consultant, bird guide, and all around lovely human joins us for this Inauguration Day special. When we dig at the root of the word Inauguration we find an invitation to cast a future of our own imagining. If today feels particularly challenging to you, we want you to know that you are in good company. This conversation invites us all to notice how we feel, admit the reality of the challenges we face, to spend time processing with our best dumb-dumbs, to check in on our neighbors, and to be attuned to our intuition. In this next Trump era we invite you to be rooted in community, allurement, and love. We get to cast the future, friends. Let’s collectively make it something beautiful for all people. Cool stuff we mention this episode (or meant to anyways): Pleasure Activism by: Adrienne Maree Brown The Three Evils of Society by MLK Jr. Exodus 1 Spell for Grief or letting Go by: Adrienne Maree Brown Where to Find Neil Moseley: He cannot be found.
