S2E12 - Taking a Sacred Pause with Willow Defebaugh

Dear listeners,

It's the Summer Solstice today, when light stretches deep into the evening - a reminder to illuminate and nurture the darkest parts of ourselves. The Summer Solstice marks half a year. Take a moment to celebrate all that you've experienced, and all that is to come.

Our guest this week on Voices in the River is Willow Defebaugh, a writer who transmutes the teachings of nature for this era of climate crisis. As Editor-in-Chief of Atmos Magazine, author of The Overview, and host of The Nature Of podcast, she has a remarkable ability to hold darkness and light in tandem, re-enchanting the natural world for those who wish to see the magick in it.

In time for the Summer Solstice, Willow joins us by the riverbank to discuss the ritual that allows her to take a meaningful pause, how she tells the difference between instinct and intuition, and how it feels to age into becoming more and more herself.
