Today we pay homage to the greatest Muse of all: Mother Earth.    Our guest, the luminous author, artist and educator Jacqueline Suskin is a self proclaimed “ecstatic earth worshiper” here to ground and guide us back into our primordial rhythms and cycles of creativity.    Suskin has been teaching workshops, writing books, hosting, retreats and creating spontaneous poetry around the world since 2009. From composing over 44,000 improvisational poems on her Hermes Typewriter with the ongoing project, Poem Store, to penning eight books; bringing nature poetry to urban classrooms, and beyond!  Her body of work is imbued with electricity and a deep sense of reverence for the planet.    Her most recent book,  A Year in Practice releases nationwide this week and offers tools to awaken the artist within. Jacqueline shares rituals from the book and her own life to support us in cultivating our own nature-based creative practices, informed by the seasons, attuned to a cyclical way of life.    This conversation is here for anyone who is calling in a more poetic, productive and inspired lens on life.
