The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan
Trust the Shift: Eclipse Energy, Empathic Connection, Signs From Beyond, and Synchronicity
Summary

The episode opens amid power and streaming problems at the broadcast operation, forcing the hosts to use an older workflow and direct listeners to a single Facebook location for comments and questions.

The conversation shifts to an upcoming Santa Fe retreat, where the speakers anticipate hot springs, sound healing, a moon or skywatch ceremony, group activities, and time with like-minded people. They also discuss the practical difficulty of live-streaming increasingly large events and explain that the retreat program will be recorded for later broadcast rather than streamed live. The group teases a future United Stat
