In this conversation, Ciela and Omar explore the multifaceted nature of change, creativity, and the human experience. They dive into the discomfort that often accompanies change, share personal stories of transformation, and discuss the role of language and love in navigating life's challenges. Omar reflects on the pivotal moments that have shaped his understanding of self and the world, emphasizing the importance of embracing pain as a catalyst for growth. The conversation illuminates hope, and encourages listeners to recognize the beauty in change and the love that surrounds them.

Omar Salam spent his childhood traveling and living throughout Europe. Initially believing that words were the best way to communicate with the world, he started studying film but later realized that he could tell more intricate and vibrant stories through fashion. “Clothing is a language within itself,” he says. Omar graduated from Parsons School of Design with a degree in fashion. In 2001, he started working for Sonia Rykiel in Paris and became Visual Director for the New York City office. He spent seven years with Madame Rykiel, fostering a meaningful relationship with the designer. In 2010, he joined Christian Lacroix and spent two years with the house. In 2012, the designer established his own fashion house called SUKEINA after his late mother, meaning “bright light.” “Light is what reconciles us with the value of everything, and without it, all goes missing,” the designer says. Omar’s passion for making women look and feel special along with a unique worldview, shaped his approach to fashion in a way that is progressive, innovative, and powerful while still elegant.

Welcome to the finale of Season 1 of The Astrotherapy Podcast! It has been a great run, and I’ll be going deep within to come back out with new explorations and inner adventures to share. Now is the time for change! This episode is an inquiry into writing as a doorway into the moment. Writing has been a vehicle for helping me to integrate my inner process, which I’ve shared weekly over the past 6 years without pause. I currently find myself at a 7-road intersection with many choices. Dreams are coming to fruition and audacious visions that began as seeds are slowly sprouting. In a world full of chaos, there is still beauty, there is still possibility…

This Gemini New Moon indicates a strong shift in awareness that only Saturn, Lord of Karma can bring. A sobering reality check will be just the gravitational pull some may seek with so much air stirred up by Jupiter in Gemini. If you are feeling light on your feet and without much earth to ground you, perhaps this Saturn weight will help you align with your true heart's desire. Venus conjunct the Sun and Moon blesses this otherwise challenging moment and offers a soothing balm while navigating this cycle.
