New Paradigm Newsletter: All The Latest Things

↓

Dear Reader,

Happy Solstice! Whenever the seasons shift, I'm invited to notice the passage of time even more clearly. While staying fully present, especially amid change and uncertainty, can be tough, the journey toward awakening and presence is more than worthwhile.

There are a lot of delicious updates in this email. Below are the latest goings-on with my work, upcoming podcast episodes, new mailing lists to join, classes to consider joining, and many good articles.

The latest updates

Soulful rebrand: a pivot to authenticity

First, I've been chiseling away internally at some old beliefs. It's an ongoing process, but I'm coming out from behind the Spoken Generation banner. What was Spoken Generation, anyway?

For me, it was an impulse and a vision. That's still true. But I am the unifying thread of my interests, and I am the progenitor of my perspective and authority. So you'll be hearing more from me and seeing some changes as I continue to evolve.

A busy mentoring and advising season

My students are keeping me busy! I am in the thick of college application season and counseling students and families on how to approach the future. If you'd like some insight into my process, you can visit my microsite where I use the same tools as in my coaching practice to help students clarify their own values and find their way.

Recording podcast episodes

I've recorded my first 2-3 podcast episodes and am working on a few more before releasing them to the public.

Podcast audios, auto-transcriptions, and show notes will be available through various podcast distributors. Paid subscribers on our Substack can access full video versions of the podcast and our community discussion forum while supporting our work.

Here's a preview of me talking with Dr. Robyn Short, CEO of the Workplace Peace Institute and our first guest!

We are hiring, so if you have a video editor, virtual assistant, or content coordinator to recommend, please let us know!

My latest Substack articles

You may have gotten a few emails from Substack recently. I enjoy writing there, but there's so much information overload, and that's a problem. If you didn't explicitly opt in to receiving Substack articles, I've removed you to keep your inbox balanced. If you want to read my articles or opt in to Substack emails, go here. My latest articles:

• Why is it so hard for people to learn new ideas and leave outdated realities behind? My article on the radicalism of assimilating a new idea, featuring wisdom from Alan Watts.
• Why do so many overlook the power of the archetypal feminine, also known as yin? My article on the Marvel film Shang Chi and what it shows about our planet's yin revival.
• What does the third decan of Sagittarius teach us? An early release of my article for the Astrologers' Co-Op, exclusive to paid subscribers only—thank you for those who've subscribed!

Help yourself and help our friends create a better world

Emil is hosting a course in November

Emil Ejner Friis of Metamoderna is running a live 4-week course in November called the 6 hidden patterns of history to show you the patterns by which society and culture evolve. He does amazing work in philosophy and sociology and provides a vision for society's evolution and change. Go support!

The diagram above gives us a clue about how the world is changing and what's happening next. If you want to get a feel for what the class is about, you can read the intro and first chapter of his upcoming book on the topic on the Metamoderna website.

Gods' School is dropping an Eris episode

The popular animated web series, Gods'School, is releasing an episode on Eris on November 28! Mark your calendars as it will be quite the event. Despite the show's following, very people know what Eris is really about and why she's so important to the 21st century. We're going to keep amplifying her message.

*If you want to learn more about Eris, remember our on-demand masterclass, Woman Warrior, is available here.

Upcoming events and offers

Mark your calendars for astrology readings in 2025

I'm closed for life purpose and destiny readings at the moment. I'm mentoring and advising pretty heavily from July through December, which means I'll have more space from January through June for readings and sessions. If you want to be specifically notified about this offering, please fill out the form here!

Deeper meditations on COVID and disability justice

I truly feel like the world is stuck and both literally and metaphorically gasping for air. COVID is one of those that everyone wants answers to, but no one wants to think or talk about. Well, I'm willing, and I'm interested in telling fresh stories about this virus and what it really means. To get on our COVID mailing list, sign up here.

Exploring a new offering: Purpose Finder

How do you find and know your purpose in these trying times? I'm exploring an upcoming offering called Purpose Finder, a 3-session private coaching experience with me to help you discover and articulate your purpose. It will guide your course and keep you anchored in a chaotic world. Interested? Discover more here.

These are intense times, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Take care of yourselves, and love one another.

Kindly,
Rayner
