Forecasting ~ Index of Listening

Short audio exploring intentional, whole-body listening + what grows from there

In an effort to bring some organization and clarity to the diverse landscape of the practice of my work and writing, today marks a first Forecasting audio post. No, it’s not weather. It’s not astrology, either.

Welcome to Forecasting

Forecasting is a unique way to offer education and resources through invitations exploring the field-workings of a mother, researcher and practitioner of somatic healing, parenting, and historical trauma who is studying the ways of nature, bridging worlds of physical and spirit.

Forecasting is an invitation for us readers / listeners to lean into their own sovereignty and authentic/interactive intelligence as beings who are sensing, orienting, and arriving to a space of relatedness with the natural world, encouraging the expanding of their own knowledge, knowing, truths and wisdom.

The weather metaphors are a play on possibility to be worked with, in hopes of inspiring more fun and creativity in learning to live well and whole while parenting, healing, reparenting and co-creating intergenerational / interspecies solutions during these times.

Forecasting audios will be public and published at least once a month, with an Education audio published once a month for paid subscribers.

My goal here is to condense a wide array of topics in shorter bursts, but not so short, (or scrollable), that the information is lost in translation. If there is a topic you would like addressed in either the condensed Forecasting or Education audios, you may send a message or reply to this post.

By eliminating what could be ‘reel’ or video content, readers / listers are invited to tune in while resting, walking, while folding clothes or sitting in the grass with their young, connecting and orienting with the environment around them, etc.

I hope that with an audio of 8 minutes or less, and by keeping accompanying written intros short, you will find meaningful information and support that encourages your agency, inner-safety, parenting and more.

Creating this Forecasting and audio process has been fun for me - a play of possibility, a yes-place for us to play and learn, empowering healing in our homes.

Forecasting is less formal than a podcast episode, more ethereal than an article. Education audios less ethereal and more formal than Forecasting. Both, a living library.

A knowing ~ play is the path to genius. What could we solve as a society if we worked with what we had and felt safe enough to play with possibility?

Forecasting No. 1 ~ Index of Listening

This first Forecasting audio explores the very important, nuanced and multi-dimensional practice of listening well. Often an overlooked part of more popular practices like empathy, attunement, forgiveness, peace, etc, listening well is essential to these frontal lobe process, yet it starts in the very primal regions of brainstem and body.

No. 1 of Forecasting invites us to get a little closer to our practice of listening - to ourselves, to our bodies, to our hearts, to our children, to our longings, to our needs, to Creator, to the spaces in-between, and so on.

The living metaphor of the Index of Listening can be applied in practice as a helpful barometer for the body, for the home, etc.

From a place of centered, oriented listening, we are more likely to come into knowing what is true, what is needed, and what is real.
