Happy Autumnal Equinox! Today on the show, Jennifer Mulak and I share our conversation with Dr. Catherine Svehla @drcsvehla a storytelling scholar and consultant in the field of mythology/depth psychology, artist, creativity coach, outdoorswoman, lover of the Mysteries, mentor in the mythic life and host of the Myth Matters Podcast. She helps people reframe their questions or their story, and explore the connection between being true to oneself and spiritual growth. She believes there’s an inner knowing, a source of direction and truth in your psyche that’s waiting for you to rediscover it. Dr. Svehla will be at the Arts Society of Kingston this Thursday, September 25th from 7-9pm for a workshop supporting folks to go deeper into the myth of the Transformation and the Myth of Inanna Workshop where folks will be invited to “EXPLORE THE ROLE OF TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR LIFE THROUGH A GUIDED JOURNEY INTO THE ANCIENT MYTH OF THE GODDESS INANNA AND SEED YOUR PSYCHE FOR DEEPER ENGAGEMENT WITH THE GREATER MYSTERIES RITUAL-PERFORMANCE AT WIDOW JANE MINE.” Previous knowledge of the myth is not required.

During our conversation, Dr. Svehla takes us through her own journey from confusion to creativity and how myth and consciousness helped to shape her own clarity and the way in which she now supports others. Her dissertation on the archetypal exploration of The Law of Attraction in American self-help culture folds into our conversation as we unravel some of the myth of unlimited human potential. Two hours was not nearly enough time to explore these rich topics that she surfaces for herself and others in her work. We’re still in deep contemplation…

Jennifer and I close the show with some sharing on the Equinox and the transition into and through this new season.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

392 Odeya Nini’s “Free Voice” and Tanya Himeji Romero’s “Woodland Pantry”

Today on the show, I am joined by two magical women whose work has woven into my world in a special way. In the first half of the show I get to speak with Odeya Nini, a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are performance practices, gesture, textural harmony, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur.

Odeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally, such as The LA Phil, Merkin Concert Hall, The Broad Museum, and MONA from Los Angeles to Australia, Mongolia, Madagascar and Vietnam. Her solo performance of I See You was included in the The New Yorker’s 10 notable performances of 2021. Odeya is also a member of the 3 time Grammy nominated ensemble Wild Up and is the founder of Free The Voice, leading vocal sound meditations, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice.

Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. She’s joining me by way of Zoom today for our talk, but she’ll be in Kingston soon, September 24th actually and offering HEALING VOICE OF DEEP RELEASE: A VOCAL EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP prior to Kelli Scarr’s Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences at the Widow Jane Mine September 26 and 27.

Then in the second half of the show, I am joined by Tanya Himeji Romero, a multi-disciplinary artist and energetic alchemist whose vision for over a decade has materialized in her work and devotional practices as a forest farmer, plant steward and intuitive culinary herbalist. While she believes any medium can be used to communicate our creativity, reverence and inherent connection, she is especially devoted to the realms of nourishment inspired by that which activates and attunes the inherent potential of our bodies as instrument, vessel and channel.

She has worked as a creative director in the fashion industry, as a team manager for the world’s largest wild simulated ginseng farm, in botanical product development and manufacturing, as well as a farmer and as a cook. The guidance of nature has led her home to her calling as a conduit for plant medicines to be regeneratively utilized in this world. All being is relatedness and at heart, we all desire to be heard, seen and respected. This is the reality she communicates and cultivates within her work.

Amongst other offerings here in the Hudson Valley, she is also a collaborator to Kelli Scarr’s Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences and will be offering an opportunity to nourish oneself and connect with EATING FROM THE TREE OF KIN – AN INTEGRATION NOURISHMENT EXPERIENCE on September 28th at The Bridge in Kingston. An intimate gathering of intentional co-nourishment to bridge and create greater integration in our relational field. Next up Tanya is offering sacred conscessions at the Misery Mother music and more gathering at The Local on October 24th.

Taína Asili, a dynamic New York-based Puerto Rican singer, composer, interdisciplinary artist, and educator carrying on the tradition of her ancestors, fusing past and present struggles into one soulful and defiant voice. She is celebrated by NPR, Rolling Stone, and Billboard for her soulful, genre-blending music echoing calls for love and liberation. With powerful vocals and a multi-genre fusion traversing salsa, rock, reggaeton, Afrobeat, and other global sounds, Asili’s music is both unique and deeply rooted. Accompanied by her brilliant ensemble, she delivers energetic performances at diverse venues nationwide – from iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall with Toshi Reagon, to renowned festivals like the main stage of San Francisco Pride, to historic events like The Women’s March on Washington, to numerous colleges and conferences – inspiring audiences to dance to the heartbeat of social change.

She joins us on the show to share about the inspiration and motivation for her upcoming 150 mile walk from Albany to NYC for Climate Justice. She’ll be arriving in Kingston on Sept. 16th, walking through the Sojourner Truth State Park, and stopping at the Kingston Point Beach at approximately [3:30] PM for a song offering. She’ll likely arrive in the park around [2:30] if you want to join in the walk to the beach. The next day, on Sept. 17th they will perform their new climate justice multimedia show Fever Pitch at Unicorn Bar. Then on the morning of the 18th they’ll be at the Red Fox Ravine in Kingston for a song offering and continuing on their walk to New Paltz.

Midway through the journey, she will sail from Newburgh to Haverstraw (9/21) aboard the historic Clearwater. The pilgrimage will then continue on foot into New York City, culminating during New York Climate Week with a final performance of the walk at UPROSE in Brooklyn (9/26).

The Fever Pitch Pilgrimage is supported by a growing list of sponsors and partners including grassroots organizations, artists, and community leaders. A GoFundMe campaign and sponsorship drive are currently underway to support artist fees, accommodations, and free/sliding scale performances throughout the route.

390 Eliza Swann “The Alchemical Imagination”

Powered by the Simple Podcast Press Player

Eliza Swann, also known as Emerald, is a writer, artist, alchemist and scholar based in New York. Swann’s formative years cultivated a deep interest in the intertwined studies of mysticism and fine art, which remain central to their work as both artist and educator. Swann received a BA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute (2004) and an MFA from Central St. Martins in London (2012). Additionally, Swann is an initiate in Gnostic and Hermetic orders, has studied Vedic cosmology with Dr. Vagsish Shastri, trained in mindfulness meditation at the Insight Meditation Society, and studied herbalism and gardening under the guidance of their witch aunt. These studies inform their expansive approach to esoteric and ecological practices.

Swann teaches art and mysticism as a unified practice and, in 2014, founded Golden Dome, an artist-in-residence program rooted in queer intersectional mysticism. Since its inception, Golden Dome has expanded to offer nationwide exhibitions, residencies, publications, and educational programming. Swann is currently faculty at Pratt Institute, where they teach “The Alchemical Imagination”, a course they created to introduce alchemical concepts to contemporary creative practice. In 2025, Swann transitioned from directing Golden Dome to launch a new initiative: Emerald School, which explores alchemy as a living, transdisciplinary practice.

As a visual artist, Swann has exhibited internationally, most recently at the University of California Santa Cruz and the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. They are the author of The Anatomy of the Aura, Green Mary, and The Alchemical Imagination, and have contributed to numerous publications. Their work has been supported by PEN America, the Foundation for Contemporary Art, the Author’s League Fund, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the Pratt Faculty Development Fund, the Feminist Center for Creative Work, the Hemera Fellowship for Contemplative Practice, and the Wassaic Project.

Today Eliza shares about their roots, literally, the gardens of their aunt and a return to them after living and traveling beyond. We talk about alchemy and how it folds many disciplines, prayer, devotion, poetry, intuition… into its being. Eliza recalls teachers both direct and indirect and what they’re work surfaced. We discuss grief and how alchemy has supported them in navigating both the personal and the global. The Emerald School is the container for their work where they guide folks through the stages of alchemy including a freeing of self and specialty, to move into deeper collaboration with all. “The school becomes a crucible: a space where diverse elements converge, disciplinary boundaries blur, and new ways of knowing can take shape.”

We talk about their upcoming 9 week online course, “The Alchemical Imagination,” Sept. 14-Nov. 16, and their upcoming offering as a part of the O+ Festival, “The Star Inside: Alchemy and the Power of Plants” and why mugwort became a part of the conversation.

389 “Navigating the Void” with Beth Carestia

This month on the Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we sit down with a dear friend Beth Carestia. Living in the Hudson Valley for almost two decades Beth has come to love our vibrant and diverse community. Local Tarot Reader, proud O+ Alum performer with The Goddess Party and soon to be the MC for the O+ Festival Comedy Show second year running.

Playing faithfully with the Rosendale Ukulele group for some time now has brought Beth joy beyond measure. Also being Beth’s fifth time contributing her voice to a Radio Kingston show, all have become sparkling personal highlights.

We chat with Beth about recently leaving her 9-5 and stepping into what’s next. How the yearning to do something more aligned with her passion and purpose started brewing long before the leap, how the loss of the structure has nudged her to look more deeply inward and importantly, how she values and cares for herself. We talk about how she’s approaching life with less structure, more joy and a lot of compassion for self. Having all been there in one way or the other, we all vibe about what it is to be in that liminal space, sometimes called the void or the underworld, between where you’ve been and where you’re going.

This past weekend’s New Moon is perfectly aligned with what we’re talking about and where we’re at.

388 Diana Wassef “Menstrual Cycle and Natural Fertility Coach”

Powered by the Simple Podcast Press Player

Diana Wassef is a Lebanese-Egyptian living in upstate New York with her lovely husband Patrick and two furry creatures Qi-Qi & Umpa. Her work centers on menstrual cycle awareness, natural fertility, and cyclical living as a path to deeper embodiment. She guides women toward reconnecting with their inner rhythm, and runs Cremona Studios — a sustainable fashion label rooted in the phases of the cycle and the stories woven within them.

We begin our conversation hearing about Diana’s background, her love for Lebabon and why she left. After suffering for most of her life with painful menstrual cycles, she at last finds a course that awakens her to a new relationship to her cycle and cyclical living. She shares about the 4 phase cycle and how this awareness transformed her life. After years of building this new relationship and some additional training, she now supports women who are seeking a deeper relationship with their cycle, whether it be because of the inherent beauty of it, or because of a specific need to balance things out or support a fertility journey. Diana shares honestly about her own fertility journey and the two pregnancy losses she’s experienced in this past year. We get a little personal together about these loses we’ve both experienced and how we hope having these conversations will help to normalize the discussion around pregnancy loss to better support those experiencing it.

We also dip into her clothing line, and how she went from a goth designer to one aligned with the seasons of the menstrual cycle. Yes, you heard “Bloody Romper.”

She offers regular “womb circles” in the area. Stay in tuned via her IG account for all the goodness.

Today on The Feminine Frequency, Jennifer Mulak and I talk about Intuition. But first! We revisit the use of the word “feminine” and why we’re working with it, despite feedback that it can feel prickly (my words).

So what is intuition? Where does it come from? Why is it undervalued? How do you recognize it? How has it come up in our own lives? How do you cultivate it? Just some of the topics we consider and share on today’s show.

Here’s the book, Everyday Intuition Jennifer recommended on intuition.

And a Happy Birthday to our Leo Friends! Come celebrate with Sarah Carlson this Saturday at the Unicorn in Kingston… Solarize Dance Party.

384 Merritt Minnemeyer “Creativity, Faith and Rebuilding After Loss”

Powered by the Simple Podcast Press Player

Today on the show… Merritt Minnemeyer is on a mission to eradicate executive mediocrity in entertainment, innovation, and the arts.

As the Founder of Master of One Coaching, LLC she employs 25 years of leadership experience, her background in performance and production, and her entrepreneurial DNA in guiding visionaries to exceed expectations, including their own.

She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coaching Federation, a “recovering” actor, an international speaker, and a passionate catalyst of the conscious business movement. She holds a BFA in Acting from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, a Masters of Professional Studies, and several specialized coaching certifications.

Having rebuilt her life after being widowed at 35 with 3 young, “neuro-spicy” kids, Merritt believes that conscious, creative leaders are the #1 key to a thriving future, and that anything is possible when inspired people channel their power for good with excellence, integrity, and artistry.

She lives with her darling husband of 10 years, Tom, their now nearly grown kids, and their menagerie of furbabies in the Hudson Valley, NY.

Merritt shares about her early interest in theater, how that evolved and eventually soured a bit to encourage her to broaden her horizons. After marriage and many physically and emotionally difficult years trying to conceive, the stars aligned for her and her then husband Peter to adopt their first child. A move and 2 foster children later, Peter is diagnosed with cancer and passes before the twins are legally adopted. Merritt miraculously survives a year where she loses her father, husband and grandfather, and is left to navigate the challenges of her grown family. With time and the support of many, she is on the other side thriving and engaged in purposeful work supporting executives and their organizations she feels passionate about. Our conversation is full of inspiration, honesty and hope. You can learn more about Merritt’s work via her website and take her creative leadership style quiz here.

Happy New Moon this Thursday!
