Curious Mystics
Welcome to Curious Mystics — a podcast where wonder meets wisdom. Hosted by two friends on a shared journey of spiritual exploration, we dive into the mysteries of the unseen world, metaphysical practices, and the deeper layers of human experience.
Through open-hearted conversations, personal stories, and thoughtful reflections, we explore topics like intuition, energy healing, dreams, consciousness, spirit guides, and the mystical moments that shape our lives.
We’re not here to claim all the answers — we’re here to stay curious, to learn alongside you, and to celebrate the magic that lives in the questions themselves. Whether you're a seasoned seeker or simply feeling the first pull toward the unknown, Curious Mystics invites you into an authentic, soulful space where exploration is sacred, and discovery is a way of life.
Join us as we walk the winding path of the curious mystic — one conversation at a time.

Animism Explained— The World Is Alive and Available for Relationship
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the world around us isn’t just scenery… but a living system we are in relationship with?
In this episode of Curious Mystics, Aericka explores the concept of animism — the ancient worldview that sees the earth, animals, plants, and natural systems as alive and interconnected.
Rather than something mystical or abstract, animism offers a grounded way of reconnecting with the natural world and remembering our place within it.
Aericka shares why modern life often leaves us feeling disconnected and how simple practices — like slowing down and paying attention to the living world around us — can help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of belonging.
You’ll also be guided through a short exercise to reconnect with nature wherever you are.
In this episode we explore:
• What animism actually means
• Why humans feel calmer in nature
• How modern life creates disconnection
• A simple practice to reconnect with the living world
• The beginning idea of the Shaman’s Net of Power — the web of connection that links all life
If you’ve ever felt restored by being outside, sitting near water, or walking through the woods, this episode explores why that connection matters.
If this episode resonates with you and you feel called to explore this kind of connection more deeply, Aericka also offers one-on-one sessions that blend her background in healthcare with spiritual and shamanic practices to help people reconnect with themselves, nature, and the deeper guidance available in their lives.
