#199 Grief & energy work with Lynn of Full Circle of Love
I'm so happy to share my first interview in this new podcast chapter with you! I spoke to the wonderful Lynn of Full Circle of Love, who has also been touched by grief and shared lots of her insights & magic. Here is some of what we talked about: Navigating the depth of grief & letting it change us Building community in which we can fully be ourselves Slow stitching and art practices that gently slow us downBeing sensitive and living a creative, resilient & connected life Lynn Salmon-Easter is a Reiki practitioner and artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. Lynn finds deep purpose in guiding individuals home to their heart and body using energy work and art making. She finds slow stitching to be magical in bringing mindfulness and awareness alive through its practice, and she vows to bring this experience to life for others through her artwork and classes. Lynn has trained in the Usui lineage with David Kaley of Minnesota.

#197 Trans quiting and community magic with Cordy of Transmissions Quilts
I am finally back with an interview for you! This was a real balm to my sore heart - lots of textile explorations, community arts magic and just true delight with Cordy of Transmissions Quilts. Tune in for encouragement, giggles and a gentle restoration of faith in humanity. Cordy says - I am a white trans quilter living in the East Bay. Alongside my quilts, I work as an arts educator and childcare worker primarily with trans teens and queer families. I hope to exist in a lineage that sees quilts as radical objects that not only represent our collective hunger for freedom but also, through making them, allow us to take active steps towards that freedom. I come from a bloodline that has largely forgotten its creativity and I am interested in resuscitating that, starting in myself. I’m trying to move slower and talk less. One current poetic guide is Chessy Normile.https://transquilts.net/https://www.instagram.com/coanofsilence/
Grief Glimmers is a gentle podcast about the gifts that good grief can offer us through creativity, simple rituals and a wider view on life & death.
Hosted by me, Yarrow Magdalena, each episode explores how loss can open us to new ways of being, making & connecting.
You’re not alone, and there is beauty here, too.
