Moonbeaming

What is it about New Age Spirituality™ that gives us the ick? How do so many people get caught up in cult-like communities, or actual cults?

This week, Sarah’s unpacking the red flags within pop-culture spirituality, the New Age realm, and holistic wellness spaces.

She’s joined by Katya Weiss-Andersson, an herbalist, astrologer, yoga practitioner, and plant-based chef who has an insider’s perspective into the pitfalls of contemporary wellness and spirituality. You can hear more from Katya on her podcast “Love and Light Confessionals,” keep up with her on Instagram, and check out her website to book astrology and tarot readings.

Sarah and Katya’s eye-opening conversation covers:

• Communal love bombing and the promise of ego validation
• The dangers of the prosperity gospel in cults and MLMs
• Re-creating power structures based on Whiteness, cis-ness, and wealth

In this Tarot teaching episode, Sarah shares tools to help us navigate the un-sanity of our world. We’re using Tarot as our road map to explore what to do in periods of uplevels disguised as discomfort.

We’re unpacking the 7 of Wands’ virtues — like energetic reset and growth — and its challenges — like defensiveness and ego battles. Sarah asks:

• Do we speak up when we encounter conflict?
• How do we know when we are matching someone else’s defensive or competitive energy?
• Does it make sense to stay in our comfort zone even when things aren’t working anymore?

Wand energy entails learning through action — it might be time to make some big moves. Tune in to find out how.
