Somatic Connection Through the Moon: a Conversation with Freedom Guide Betsy Kudlinski
Our astrological Moon tells us what we need to feel “fundamentally okay” – where we can find the core of our connection to self, where safety meets comfort. This is a body-based experience, so it was a no-brainer to invite Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Freedom Guide Betsy Kudlinski to talk with me about nurturing our nervous systems through the lens of the Moon.
In this two-hour conversation, we talk about what “okayness” looks like for each element and go through some embodiment exercises to try. Everyone can benefit from these, but especially people who get frustrated with conventional suggestions for grounding or relaxation.

Through the Mirror: Understanding Your Ascendant
The Ascendant (or Rising Sign) is a mysterious part of the chart, because it’s the filter through which we view the world.
Understanding that filter shows us how we instinctively skew our view of “the world out there,” including other people, because we are seeing through our OWN archetypal nature. We’re looking through a part of ourselves…but it looks like it’s “the world”.
By examining this filtered view, you will understand a great deal more about how you navigate your life, because it tells you what “the world” is like…and we all respond to what we believe we are seeing!

Chiron: The Unhealable Wound
Chiron is a place in our chart where we feel pain, shame, resentment, and bitterness. Like this astroid’s namesake, we didn’t do anything to deserve this experience — which makes it all the more excruciating. Unlike the Path of Mastery, Chiron’s wound isn’t something we can fix. However, with patience and compassion, we can learn to tend to it and carry it well. Understanding this place of pain on a deeper level can help us be more gentle with ourselves and others.

Saturn's Path of Mastery
One of Saturn’s key roles is to point out areas in our life where we feel hopelessly out of our depth, yet compelled to persevere. Understanding your Path of Mastery means understanding the challenges you’re meant to tackle AND why it can feel so difficult. Everyone has a Path of Mastery to walk towards a rich, meaningful life; what’s yours?
I teach the essence of the Path of Mastery, and then walk through Saturn in all 12 signs of the zodiac so everyone can find their own challenges discussed here.
This bundle includes two recorded teaching calls (Part 1 is 90 min and Part 2 is 2 hrs) and two transcripts.

Down the Hole with Mercury Retrograde
During the Mercury Retrograde of summer 2018, I took a 5-week journey with some intrepid folks into what a Mercury Rx really is. Let’s just say it’s NOT the “OMG BE AFRAID” fest that most people try to make it.
We used Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland as our framework, because if there’s someone who had to learn the HARD WAY how to play in a Mercurial world, it’s Alice!
