They're joyfully devoted to exploring body-rooted energy practices and poetic inquiries as living portals into remembering our cosmic kinship. You can find Jonathan on their website, IG, and their other podcast Healing The Spirit.Mary Schuch (she/her) is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body. In this lifetime, Mary is steadily walking a resonant path and striving to remember the inherent relationality of all beings. Informed by her upbringing as a homeschooled pastor's kid and the eighth of eleven siblings, Mary is reclaiming her right to exploration and education through meditative multidisciplinary living. She is devoted to practices incorporating writing, music, art, breadmaking, astrology, movement, and being outdoors. A beneficial byproduct of years of manual labor, Mary’s reverence for contemplative time has grown through work in gardens, kitchens, on a commercial lobster boat, and an oyster farm. She is originally from the Chicago area and currently lives on an island in Maine. Connect with Mary on Instagram @maryschuch and book a reading with her.

Mary and Jonathan gets together for a meaty conversation on one of our favorite topics - our devotion to the learning path and to sharing what we're learning. Within our society (at least in the US where we both reside), we often need to declare our expertise in one specific field. In this conversation, we explore how we navigate weaving our multiple interests, holding multiple identities, and belonging to multiple communities.PS - We started using this term 'maven' after doing Jonathan Fields's assessment Sparketype.If you’re drawn to receive a reading from one of us, please reach out!A little bit about us:Jonathan Koe (they/he) is a queer mystic who’s fluent in the languages of music, astrology, tarot, energy work, statistics, and the Akashic perspective.
