This new moon is in Virgo and we are beginning to get organized for the end of summer into fall, organizing our life to create the intentions we desire to complete for the remainder of the year. New moons are always considered new starts, for this meditation we use the moon as a marker of time, just like the seasons to signify change. Just like we observe and appreciate beauty in nature, we do that for the moon, knowing it was all created by God. For this meditation we will be traveling and moving into our dream home for fall, a charming coastal cottage on the beach.@topanga_moon

Welcome to the new moon in pisces meditation. Pisces' new moon is all about dreamy, imaginative, mysterious beauty. This is the dream moon as pisces rules our inner dreamland. For this super moon and the last new moon before we enter into the spring equinox we are going big on our desires, using our imagination to cultivate the dreams we have and really feel into them. Where attention goes, energy flows, when we decide on our dreams we can take action through our specific attention.

Today's guest is my dearest friend and most frequent guest on the Topanga Moon podcast! Aneta Sofronova is the founder and creator of the sustainable clothing brand Nusha, a brand rooted in earth-conscious production and clothing made from natural fibres and dyes that are healthy for you and the planet. I am thrilled to have her on the podcast to dive into her mission behind her clothing brand, the design evolution of her brand and how that is connected to her heritage, the history of the hemp fibre industry, today's oversaturation of toxic clothing, her love of using and cultivating plant dyes and so much more!We dive into:The evolution of Aneta’s brand Nusha, the meaning behind her brand name. Her deep connection to plants, growing them and how that was infused into the original name of her brand Immortelle  - meaning everlasting, growing in the Mediterranean. Design that can withstand the test of time. Using her nickname Nusha for the new name, it connects her to her roots and younger self - sweet sentimental and from her heritage. How hemp is meaningful for the region that she is from and important for her brand. Hemp is unlike any other plant and has so many end uses.How Aneta’s grandmother use to grow hemp in her village, and using hemp for so many things. Taking it down to the river for the retting process, breaking down the stocks to reveal the fibre. Uncovering the history of how we create goods and what fabrics we use and why. Hemp is one of the oldest textiles known to man. Even the word canvas, which is a type of woven fabric, the origin of canvas comes from cannabis. How hemp was used in the military, used in the ships that came over to America, even Henry ford was experimenting with hemp. There were two big industries that saw hemp as a big threat: the cotton industry which was popular in America, and the oil industry - which saw it as a huge threat because you could make biofuels and bio plastic from hemp. How it became illegal to grow hemp in North America. We discuss the toxins in our clothing and the fashion industry. Wearing petroleum products on our bodies.The creation of a campaign to demonize the hemp industry and thus making both marijuana and hemp illegal. We also discuss Aneta’s love of plant dyes, the intricate process and how using plant dyes beautifully connects her fashion to nature.Naturally dying fabric consists of many different steps - harder and more expensive but has been used for so long. The more we step away from what is harder to create the less we respect the garment. Aneta shares her favourite natural dyes and the different processes. We also discuss the energetic properties of natural colours, the significance of using certain colours like slate blue for porches, and the frequency of natural fibres.You can check out Aneta's brand here: https://hellonusha.com/@hello.nusha@anetasofronovaAnd find Topanga Moon here:https://www.topangamoon.com/@topanga_moon

Happy New Year! And welcome to 2024. I wanted to share a solo episode about how I am starting the year off with a reset and my predictions for what will create more alignment for you this year - the spiritual trend forecast. I also share about the difficult grieving period that began my year as I said goodbye to my grandma and the important things I learned from those moments with my family. The lesson being that connecting to others is really all that matters, creating memories and being with those you love. I also share about living from the sacral yes, the power of the voice, having a unique POV and the way I am creating my own reset for the year. I also tell you about the things I am loving right now and what I believe will create momentum for 2024. And I fill you in on why I never launched the meditation membership and what I have in store for Topanga Moon.I hope you enjoy this fresh start to the year with this inspiring chat! xo@topanga_moonwww.topangamoon.com shop candles for valentines day!

What do you think of when you hear the word honey? For yoga teacher Estefania, honey represents the sweetness and stickiness in life, the duality that is embraced and what represents The Honey Method, her signature yoga class experience. I am thrilled to have Estefania Lopez on today's podcast episode to share all about her honey method for episode 100! Her wisdom and love for life on and off the mat weaves throughout the interview as we dive into her unconventional journey to discovering yoga, her approach to surrender and using movement to digest life's sticky moments, letting go of a life expected of you to embrace one your soul craves and so much more!In this beautiful conversation we discuss:The duality of living and growing up in Germany but being from Spain. What it’s like being an immigrant. Not being able to express herself in kindergarten because she spoke Spanish.Not feeling home in Germany but embracing and creating her home.The duality of where do I belong? Which was a struggle she had for so many years, and being someone who loved so many things.How yoga found her in an unexpected way. She knew she would wait several years to do the teacher training, because she knew it would change her life.She was a Sub-Saharan African specialist, doing her PhD on the topic of Mozambique.Expressing herself through movement.Talking about how we approach the idea of surrender. How she wasn’t in a rush to become a yoga teacher.Letting go of the ego desire to prove yourself in order to follow your path.How she created her honey method: the sweet and stickiness.Handling and surrendering to the stickiness of life.Repetition as the key to the honey method, you are feeling the stickiness everyday until you reach the sweet part - embracing yourself in this exact moment.Embracing the chaos. Having so many interests, on the yoga mat she is at peace but outside of the mat there is wildness - chaotic in a positive way.The way you move as a picture of your emotions in that moment, a way of getting out of stickiness. Movement is medicine and digesting circumstances to create openness.Her ritual of creating a video of the year.Her upcoming retreats and connection to Ibiza.You can connect with Estefania and check our her upcoming retreats and classes here: https://www.estefanialopezyoga.com/@honey.yoga.by.esteFind out more about the upcoming Topanga Moon Membership here: www.topangamoon.com@topanga_moon
