250: The Beauty/Power of Ritual with Jaguar Mary X
Description
#250: Jaguar Mary X is a ritual performance artist and creator of Midday and Midnight Medicine Journey. Their transformative work is informed by queer and Black feminist discourse, plant sentience, and shamanism, and they’re here this week to offer their wisdom on the beauty of ritual.
After a life-shifting personal experience with mugwort, Jaguar Mary X has been sharing the plant’s healing properties through powerful ritual smudging performances. In this episode, the two of us explore how connecting with the plant kingdom is an act of interdependence, and the power of bringing both a scientific and woo lens to healing.

Join Nervous System Signals and Safety!
You understand your anxiety. You can name your triggers, trace them back, explain the whole thing. And your body still does what it does - the freeze, the brace, the exhaustion that has nothing to do with how much you slept. Working at the level where the pattern actually lives - your nervous system, your physiology - is what changes it. Signals & Safety is 12 weeks of somatic education and practice built from 20+ years of clinical training. You come out knowing why your body responds the way it does, and with the tools to meet yourself differently in the moments that used to undo you.
