Aligning the Layered Self: Ancestral Inheritance and Leadership with Michelle and Ramon Gabrieloff-Parish

Michelle and Ramon Gabrieloff-Parish make up Once and Future Green, consulting, facilitating, and providing education for community groups, governments, universities and philanthropies working on climate and environmental justice. As partners (married since 2000) and individuals , Michelle and Ramon both bring creative, communal approaches deeply rooted in spirit and ancestral traditions. 

In this episode, Michelle and Ramon talk with me about the lineages they come from and the visions they have for their work and the world. I get their insight as storytellers, mystics and astrologers into our current moment and the potentials we can find in times of breakdown and crisis. 

Michelle and Ramon will be offering a guest workshop with Embodied Astrology on August 21: Aligning the Layered Self: Ancestral Inheritance and Leadership. Find more information and register here
