4. The Empress: Resting in Power w/ Christina Rosales
Manage episode 406708411 series 3551679
In this episode, we explore The Empress, the vast creative force that moves through nature and gives us LIFE! Our guest is an Empress herself — Christina Rosales, a journalist-turned-activist who developed a video game about housing justice, which she turned into a stage play. Christina also sews her own clothes, is raising a young son, and has two artistic passions I didn't even know about until late in our conversation!
Christina and I talk about the many faces of The Empress and what she teaches us about creativity, interconnectedness, rest, receiving, biodiversity, and collective action. Christina also shares about her Mexican and Catholic roots in South Texas, her organizing with Power Switch Action, "the how-hard-can-it-be?" bone in her body that keeps her doing incredible things, and her journey toward claiming her own power.
We ask The Great Empress of the Cosmos (by pulling a Tarot card): How can we find peace within our family?
Christina shares a lot of wisdom in this episode, and her words are likely to inspire you to create in a new way, take action for your community, or take a creative stance toward something that challenges you.
