Backyard Magic
Backyard Magic is a podcast about the everyday magic happening in the most ordinary of places.
Grab a cup of tea and join acupuncturist, Chinese medicine and shamanic practitioner Nicole Berrios in her messy backyard for rambling conversations about all things witchy and magical. We talk herbs, spirit, connecting to the land, nervous system healing, and the quirky little magical moments happening right outside your back door.
No retreats, expensive supplies or Tik-Tok worthy aesthetics required. The magic is wherever you are.
Subscribe to the show and join a community of people practicing everyday nature-based spirituality, right in their own backyards.
