episode 10: creating sacred moments through ritual - a conversation with julia nethersole, celebrant & ritual artisan

in this episode i engage in a conversation with julia nethersole - celebrant & ritual artisan. she gives deep feelers permission to be witnessed through intentional reflection, rituals, ceremony, and gatherings.i chose to invite julia to this conversation because she entered my life, not too long ago, and i realized that we are kindred spirits. we first became aware of one another on Instagram - likely through mutual connections - and about a year ago, i felt the nudge to ask her out for a tea, in my attempt to emerge from my introverted shell. in the short time that we have developed our connection, we have discovered that we have an uncanny amount of things in common: to name but a few, we are both leos, in relationships with virgos, projectors in human design, attended mcgill university just a year apart, live in the same unit number and are obsessed with brass and gold jewelry. in recent months, i have been supporting her in traversing transition in her business as she has been supporting me in creating an intimate gathering to welcome our soon to be baby - and while the latter didn’t turn out as anticipated, i’m excited to engage in this conversation to share more from her reflective perspective.in this episode, we discuss:• who julia is and how she would describe her essence,• what her business, glass full, started as and how much space it takes up in her life,• how having a full-time job impacts her relationship with glass full,• what her vision for glass full could be as a full-time entity and what remains unclear,• how she defines ‘self-care’ and why it differs from how must people perceive it,• why intentionality should be at the root of all self-care practices to support a holistic state of being well,• how glass full is evolving beyond a self-care community and how that mirrors her personal evolution,• what it means to be a deep feeler and how she supports deep feelers in being witnessed during life’s transitional milestones,• how she defines ‘ritual’ and ‘sacred’ and what is sacred in how she co-creates with others,• what themes have been present in the sacred moments she has co-created with her clients how it relates to her life,• why she is embarking on a sacred pilgrimage with her mother and grandmother as an intentional walk towards motherhood and• what she wishes for glass full in the future.to learn more about julia and her intentional offerings, i invite you to visit her website and follow her on instagram @glass.full.
