Chris Skidmore
Wrestling with Lions: Myth, Edge, and the Animal Body
Speaker’s interview will air on Wednesday 8th October at 6:00 AM PDT / 9:00 PM AWST
Chris Skidmore is a PACFA-registered psychotherapist, a graduate of Metavision’s holistic counselling program, a trained Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, and a practicing astrologer with over 15 years’ immersion in the symbolic, mythic, and somatic arts.
His podcast On the Soul’s Terms explores the archetypal threads that weave through our lives. Each episode is a chance to dwell inside the stories underlying the astrological worldview, and listen to interviews with others in the field who carry their own particular wisdom from their own particular tangent of the zodiacal wheel.
Chris brings a rare ability to bridge the poetic and the practical — tracing how myth, psyche, and planetary forces shape our inner and outer lives. In this conversation, we dive into the terrain where pleasure meets edge, exploring the thrill of being alive in uncertain times, the cultural cost of sanitizing our stories, and how ancient myths and archetypes help us remember that descent, initiation, and wild joy are vital to transformation.
