To Dare Together, with Erin O'Brien

Hello friend! Welcome, I'm your host, Erin O'Brien, a human being who is daring to create and hold space for decolonized healing and transformation. So let's get ready, To Dare Together. As a licensed psychotherapist for over 20+ years, a relationship counselor, a spiritual intuitive, a shadow worker, and witch, I believe that true therapuetic practice, calls for right-action and remembers all the ways of wellbeing. This is a place that will remember the old truths and reconnect them to their land and to their people. We unite the relational, social, spiritual, psychological, ancestral, and magickal, because it is all sacred and most powerful when working as a whole. 2026 is a time To Dare to create the world that we've been dreaming of. To Dare to be the dream we have been waiting for... Let’s do it.

Together, we will restore right-relationship to ourselves, to each other, to the land, and to the Divine. We will seek to know the truth in the depths, and dare to tune into the wisdom and pleasure of our bodies. To honor the places that hold pain and renewal. To descend and arise, transformed in the cycle of death and regeneration. To reenchant the world around us from a truly embodied and integrated place. To be in honest connection where liberation, love, equity, accountability, repair, beauty, joy, gratitude, sensuality, generosity, prosperity, dignity, and reverence for all life on earth is at the heart of our community.

We will dare to align our body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Ready to couragousely examine our original and chosen families, relationships, communities, cultures, systems in society, intergenerational patterns, ancestral wounds and wisdom, and the great expanse of our collective. Because when we are together, we will seek to know what is true. We will alchemize and transform, knowing that our fates are inevitably intertwined with one another. So let’s will it together. Our bodies hold so much intelligence if we just slow down enough to listen. When we know how to keep silent and just be, just breathe, just listen, we know how to summon our greatest powers of transformation.

My offering each episode will be a combination of solo explorations and deep dives with other like-hearted therapists, space-holders, embodied healers, spiritual intuitives, magickal practitioners, artists, abolitionists, astrologers, visionaries, witches, and more.

We will focus on embodiment, trauma integration, and nervous system regulation. We will work with our unconscious/shadow to illuminate what needs to be transmuted or released. We will dismantle our internalized systems of dominance and extraction so we resonate with the reciprocity and abundance of life. We will understand how colonization wounds are at the core of our dis-ease and disembodiment. We will create ways of relating that promote connection, celebrate differentiation, respectfully move through conflict, and preserve each other's dignity. We will conjure the wisdom of our ancestors to strengthen our communal spaces. We will create rituals to attune with the cycles of nature, lunar rhythms, astrology, and the wheel of the year. We will do pathworkings and divination, and so much more. Are you ready To Go?

Once again, THIS IS THE TIME To Dare to create the world that we've been dreaming of. To Dare to be the dream we have been waiting for... Let’s be it together.

It's fitting that this is going so well, because this is my attempt at a blooper reel to kind of collect all the little moments where you know things did not totally go well but I still think are pretty funny and you know we need to be able to laugh at ourselves. So, yeah, I hope you enjoy. It's not too long, but you'll uh. Yeah, clearly I can be really redundant and so I will just name that Uh, and I, you know, apologize for my long winded tendencies here. I don't know if it's my Gemini, if it's my Scorpio, who knows, but I just ate a bug. Oh, poor buddy, I have a lot of plants in my God.

There are a lot of living beings that are in my therapy office as a result, and one just decided to literally enter my body. So, thank you, I don't think I can lost where I was, where was I? Oh, yeah, okay, I'm also thinking about the town I grew up in, this very small town, very heterogeneous, Sorry, very homogenous, and I always get those two confused. Everybody was the same. Let me just say it plainly. Anyway, to support your awakening, your re-experiencing, your understanding, can I say any more words here? Thank you,
