Biodynamic Living with Ellie VanHouten: Recent Episodes
Heather VanHouten
I’m recreating my entire life after a car accident upended my whole life. Now I’m working on my health, my chronic illnesses and injuries, my creative process as an artist, healing my inner emotional relationship traumas, and building a new foundation for a life based on self love and constantly working to be the best possible version of myself that I can be. I work with all this in tandem with the four seasons, the cycles of nature, and the archetypal journey that these cycles encourage.
The mother goddess theme, books that apply, as well as body positivity, and moving forward with the podcast.
A quick overview of the energy around the full moon on January 6, 2023. Course correction time!
In this episode, I discuss the spring equinox and the theme of balance in multiple aspects of our lives. I also discuss some recent news about deep emotional pain and trauma so please forgive me for not being on my A-game.
Reflecting on the year and my podcast project, discussing the Gemini Full Moon and the Winter Solstice as well as Venus going retrograde and Chiron going direct.
Energetic themes of support for this new moon, the themes of dark and light in the holiday season, discussing my place in the world as a woman over 40, and a passionate reclamation of crone energy.
The podcast has a new name! Things are solidifying in the ideas for this project and I explain that in the first segment. Then I go through some of my favorite ways of celebrating the beginning of fall, the harvest and giving thanks season of the year.
Broken into 3 segments, I talk about intuitive stretching, the starfish stretch, summer solstice picnic ideas, and the great chip inhalation of 2021.
The middle of eclipse season is all about receptivity and curiosity. Moving forward is best done by starting with the basics like breathing and healthy eating so I briefly touch on those subjects as well. I’m still figuring out this whole podcast thing so I ask that you bear with me- it will get better!
I’m creating a whole new life! Despite my messy start, I’m learning how to navigate my new life after everything crumbled for me. I’m figuring things out with my chronic illnesses, creative process as an artist, and my letting go of addictions to certain styles of relationships. I promise to get better at publishing these podcasts but I’m starting here, now, as is, messy me, because there’s no time like the present.
