The Creative Ritual Podcast

Crafts #140

Grief Glimmers is a gentle podcast about the gifts that good grief can offer us through creativity, simple rituals and a wider view on life & death. Hosted by me, Yarrow Magdalena, each episode explores how loss can open us to new ways of being, making & connecting. You’re not alone, and there is beauty here, too.

    Cozy + Calming
    Yarrow makes magic in these podcasts and helps you have a heartfelt turnaround with challenging emotions that are inherently human like grief, sorrow and feelings of being isolated. Always a soft place to land!! I encourage you to cozy up and give a listen.
  • NoTYPlease
    Episodes not playing
    Not sure what’s going on but the grief journals won’t play at all. I’m able to listen to all my other podcasts.
  • Mck048
    Lovely spirit
    Yarrow is such a gentle soul and has a lovely and nourishing presence. I'm grateful to learn from her in whatever capacity she wishes to share. Her podcast is wise and insightful and generous.
  • AlanaGarr
    Gentle, Honest and Kind
    Yarrow's demeanor is so gentle and warm, while also being honest, thoughtful, and aware of... basically... how to be human. Which is to say, how to be alive. They raise questions in the loveliest way that invite one into deeper consideration around broad topics, from living in relationship with all beings, to ritual, creativity, the body, anti-capitalism, plant wisdom, and more. I love listening to both guest interviews and Yarrow's solo chats directly with the listener. Thank you, Yarrow, for sharing your voice in this way. Every episode leaves me feeling soothed and more present.
  • Laura Gale
    Ugh, more woke Covid stuff
    I like some of her reflections, but the wokeness is a bit much. She may be suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
  • Heidi HL
    Warm and cozy
    Yarrow brings so much coziness and gentleness to their podcast, and they have the ability to bring out beautiful conversations with their guests. I love the way listening to this podcast feels; it’s like a warm beverage on a cloudy day surrounded by a cozy fireplace and fluffy blanket. So grab your own fluffy blanket and be ready for some insightful conversation. Thank you, Yarrow, for building such an open and loving space in this podcast.
  • So helpful and insightful!
    Contemplative, insightful, grounded, soothing
    I love this podcast. Yarrow’s insights and way of being are grounded, soulful, contemplative, inspiring and refreshing. I feel like I am settling in with a cozy blanket for healing story time when I listen.
  • Fox & Elder
    So authentic and heartfelt
    I love Yarrow's podcasts so deeply. I thoroughly enjoy the range of guests that are brought on and the conversations that ensue. Even the solo episodes are great! Yarrow is so thoughtful, open, and authentic. There is a lot being shared here and you don't want to miss out.
  • sbanyc
    Lovely podcast
    I always look forward to this podcast. Yarrow’s topics are thoughtfully presented and delivered in a warm, friendly, loving way.

    Episode 50
    I loved this episode and am so excited to start a practice of silly morning dancing 🙂 Also thank you for making the point about gratitude: that we don’t necessarily need to be grateful for things that are painful. I needed to hear this!
  • Puglover39

    This Podcast was recommended to me by a friend. I absolutely love it! Sarah's realness combined with business knowledge is inspiring. Self-Love. Magic. Change. This is the perfect podcast for entrepreneurs learning how to tie everything together and be their authentic selves in business and in daily life.
