In this episode we discuss 2034 as The Strength Year, what it means, what to expect, and how to work WITH the Lion of Strength rather than struggle against it. We also consider what tools will be available to us in the Strength Year, mythologies of Strength, what it means to be authentic, post-humanist perspectives on Strength, and how to find our way this year with the Star card to guide us. Finally, we speak to your own PERSONAL card of the Year and what that means for you, so join us! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for our Strength Year workshop! See below

BETWEEN THE WORLDS STRENGTH YEAR WORKSHOP

In this course, you'll learn how the Strength Year can help us find our authentic self, work with our muse, and resource ourselves to create the world we want to find! (All without becoming a monster!) Each one of us has a specific area in our life where we can make most use of the medicine of the Strength Year, and it’s different for everyone. In this workshop you’ll learn how the Stength Year can show you how to gently coax your inner Lion to give its most might roar.
