This is a gentle exploration of the grief that come up when we look at patterns in our childhoods and families in more detail. I am sharing what is coming up for me since my mum passed, what helps and what I am orienting towards.

I mentioned two books by Clare Alexander: https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/287509/claire-alexander

and the ACA newsletter: https://adultchildren.org/email-subscriptions/

This week I’m joined by Georgia Wall, a ceremonial teacher and artist based in New York City, who weaves grief, creativity and ceremony together with such care. We begin with a reading from her book, The Circle Room: a book in ceremony. I really loved her October letter! We talk about how grief threads through everything we love, what it means to turn 40, and what her five-year-old twins are teaching her about impermanence.

Georgia also shares how art school, a decade as a teaching artist and years of spiritual seeking led her into ceremony work, and how she made her book from a residency to a small fabric-bound print run. We also talk about Sacred Bridge, her six-week online group experience for anyone moving through a transition, with its next cohort starting in January. You can sign up for her monthly Love Letters newsletter, and if you’re in Brooklyn on 22 November, she’s hosting a live grief circle with writing, altar work and space to hold whatever is showing up for you.

Thank you so much for joining us!

I feel re-energized around my tarot practice and I know many people return to their decks this time of year, so I wanted to record a little episode on approaches that can help us deepen our relationships to our decks and read in a way that feels more meaningful without adding a whole lot of faff that no one needs.
