Nurture Pod 37: Death Cults and Renewal
Recorded on a misty Oregon coast Easter (Ostara) Sunday, Iris and Ginger discuss spring renewal; in mythology, personal practice and as a necessary part of life.
The beauty of spring in 2025 is juxtaposed against the unprecedented political rise of techno-fascist-deathcults that seek their own eternal life through AI and biotechnology while at the same time accelerate the destruction of natural life here on Earth.
What can we learn by stepping back and viewing the current moment with the mythic lens that all parts of life and in a constant state of death and renewal?
How do we harness the energy of renewal to help us respond with creative, vital and powerful energy to a culture and economic system that is in drastic need of change?
