Embodied Astrology for Plutonic Times | Lara Charlotte

Lara Charlotte joins us once again for this fresh season of Birdsong. 

 

Her “formal” bio is below, but as I introduce her on the show...

 

She’s a mystic, she’s holistic, she’s a plant healer, divine revealer, wise witch incarnate, fresh from the amazon with that wild jungle glow, she’s a star tracker, a crypto stacker, the rose lover, Venusian stunner... Lara Charlotte. We talk embodied astrology and the era defining shift of Pluto moving from Capricorn to Aquarius. Exciting times ahead!

 

As for Lara: She was born in Aotearoa, New Zealand and descends from settler colonisers of mostly English, Irish and Scottish lineage. Since 2012 she left a corporate career due to a personal health crisis and has since immersed in a journey of soul remembrance, transformational healing and devotional service.

 

She spent over 5 years in full-time training with traditional shamanic plant medicines in the Peruvian Amazon, a path she continues with until now.

 

Lara also co-founded a retreat centre working with hundreds of guests in deep transformational processes. She has trained to be trauma informed and hold a space for others that is mindful of diversity, western mental health frameworks and the ongoing process of personal awakening throughout our lives and across generations.

 

Lara is a devoted lover of the mythic realms that are discovered in deep relationship with self, body, nature and story across time and space. Her current work draws on the range of modalities listed here and is adapted to suit the unique needs of each person and situation. She has also featured on various podcasts and presents to workshops and trainings on her work and life experiences.
