In this special Earth Day episode, host Marina Press Granger speaks with artist Marie McKenzie about her powerful connection to kelp—one of the planet’s most vital (and overlooked) ecosystems.

What began as a fascination with kelp’s environmental role led Marie to face a deep fear of the ocean. Through learning to freedive, she now paints mesmerizing underwater vistas of kelp forest canopies as seen from beneath the surface.

This episode is a tribute to the healing power of nature, the courage to dive deep (literally), and the role art can play in honoring the Earth.

In this solo episode, Marina Granger invites you to treat the next two weeks as a sacred energetic reset. With both Venus and Mercury in retrograde and fresh off a solar and lunar eclipse, the cosmos are calling us to slow down, reflect, and realign.

Instead of hopping back on the hamster wheel post-vacation, what if you redesigned your everyday life to feel like a vacation — soft, intentional, and in flow?

We discuss how the earth’s electromagnetic field (and yours!) is being recalibrated right now and how to ground yourself with peace, pleasure, and purpose.

Plus, I share details about the Manifestation-Themed Open Call for New Visionary Magazine — and how artists can infuse their work with the frequency of manifestation. The deadline to submit is March 31 and you can do so here: https://visionaryartcollective.submittable.com/submit

This is your sign to pause... and make your art, and your life, feel as good as it looks.
