    Just a friendly note from loyal listener to tell you how much I appreciate your work —how needed it is.

    1) I hope a new show is coming soon!

    2) I wonder if the mythologist and astrologer Caroline Casey host of “the visionary activist show” is someone you might bring on to collaborate with…

    3) I agree with the previous review suggesting a “spectator” patreon tier at a lower rate. I absolutely would utilize that to support your work.

  • Great work but please consider opportunity for less patronage per month - lowest tier 1$

    Would consider and love to contribute however 6$ monthly simply not possible for many … but 1$ would be ! No expectations being part of workshops or else, just contributing. You could separate the two ? Thanks anyway 🙏
