S.1 E.6 Christie Jordan Barron “Practicing Living and Dying”

Today on the show we are joined by Christie Jordan Barron, an educator, mother, mover, maker, and somatic experiencing practitioner based in the Hudson Valley. Christie believes deeply in our essential need for connection to our own hearts, to nature, and to each other. She is dedicated to holding space for people to sense into and stay curious about the various parts and pieces that make us all tenderly human.

Our conversation weaves through Christie’s work, lived experiences and the deep wisdom she’s landed on along the way. We learn about her work in the practice of dying and how that supports us through deaths of all types and the grief that often accompanies loss. She shares insight into community’s role with grief and how that helps us in moving away from the expert paradigm. Her work as an educator has expanded to include sexual education, supporting youth navigating their relationship to their changing bodies and their autonomy. We talk about her role as mother and the complexities of what that surfaced for her. Our parenting conversation leads us to explore the balance between structure and freedom (masculine and feminine), and we spend some time talking about the challenges of navigating conflict and how to hold one accountable for their actions. Let us know what out conversation brings up for you!

332 Mary Evelyn Pritchard “The Holographic Home”

Mary Evelyn Pritchard is an artist and community weaver whose work focuses on creating sacred spaces and experiences.  In her business practice The Holographic Home, she works as a Feng Shui practitioner, interior designer and land worker.  In addition, she has been actively exploring the realms of feminine embodiment and eros through study and personal practice for the last 8 years, and more recently, has begun sharing opportunities to explore these topics with others.  She has a particular passion for facilitating community ritual as a pathway to individual and collective healing.

Today our conversation plays with notions of the feminine and what it means to embody all aspects of this divine energy. Mary Evelyn shares personally her journey into feminine embodiment when she was initiated by an ectopic pregnancy leading to a major surgery. Her recovery and reclaiming has seeded her with a deep wisdom and a passion for exploring and sharing the gifts of freedom that unfold from an embodiment of the feminine. She sees community ritual as being potent medicine for women who are healing and recovering their connection with the “dark feminine.” We learn about her evolution into the work she now offers in the spaces we reside and how this too is an offering of daily ritual into the places we call home.

She’s hosting a retreat in her sacred home space for feminine embodiment with her mentor and collaborator Whitney Ullom, Tending the Well, July 19-21. She has a few spaces open so if you are interested, be in touch soon!

You can connect with Mary Evelyn via her website or Instagram.
