Hi everyone!
Welcome to spring 🌷✨
Season 2 of the Hope is Resistance podcast begins today! Our conversations plant seeds of hope for a more liberated, loving world. 🌱
We weave a web of topics within individual and collective healing practices, drawing on personal and professional experiences from artistry, therapy, yoga, activism, teaching, athleticism and more…
We’re leaning into themes of renewal as we begin the astrological new year and feel the land around us waking up. In a world where many of us live disconnected from nature, meeting seasonal shifts with reverence is an act of resistance to reclaim our place as nature, ourselves.
We’ll be in your inbox with new episodes on Mondays 💌.
In this episode, Cassie and Pascale explore spring, not just as a season, but as a threshold for renewal. Through honest conversation and grounded reflection, they look at how spring emerges in moments of quiet change, when what has been dormant begins to stir, and how stepping into this season asks for patience, trust, and a willingness to begin again.
What does it mean to recognize that something within you is ready to grow? How can we learn to move with the rhythms of renewal in a way that reshapes not only what we do, but who we are becoming?

April 12th 1-5:30pm: a ceremonial healing space for women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people
I’m excited to be hosting a mini retreat experience weaving movement, rest, reflection and ceremony. Space was donated for this event by Collective Movement, so I am able to offer this event on a sliding scale (as if I couldn’t love that place any more 🥹).
I’m finalizing some details currently, keep an eye on your inbox for the full details coming your way soon. 👀💌
