Mary, Mother of God (Embracing the Divine Feminine)

Mary is the thread woven through every sacred story. The mother of Jesus, the bearer of the Divine, the figure who both divides and unites traditions. In this episode, we journey through Marian apparitions, contested titles, and the ancient tension between mother and goddess, asking: what does it mean to embrace Mary as the matrix of Christ and the Church? Together, we reflect on how devotion to Mary invites us into radical acceptance, deeper belonging, and a love that knows our faces. Where church politics have tried to silence the feminine. Mary remains: uncontainable, transforming, and present in every culture. This is an invitation to find the sacred feminine not just in myth, but in the heart of our own spiritual lives.Thanks for reading!

Living the Path of Holarchy (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

What does it mean to live as a whole, unique self—nested within circles of kinship, woven into the superorganism of Earth, the Noosphere? In this episode, we synthesize the great threads: holons, hierarchy, third story, and the challenge of real connection in a divided age. We explore the tools and practices—affirmation, journaling, narrative work—that help us move from isolation to fractal kinship, healing the wounds of the meaning crisis. You’re invited to walk the unitive path: humble, evolving, and alive with possibility. The journey is slow—until transformation bursts forth.www.fractalkinship.comThanks for reading!

Exploring Holarchy As A Practical Living Alternative (A Christopagan practice of Fractal Kinship)

In a world shaped by hierarchies, is there a better way to live out the sacred? This episode explores holarchy. A living, spiraling web of sovereignty and kinship. Where every circle holds both power and responsibility. How do we build communities that honor the dignity of each, without losing the strength of the whole? Join us as we move beyond thrones and ladders, toward a practice of sacred, ever-unfolding relationship. Reimagine what it means to belong and to build together.Thanks for reading!
