Well Aware was founded in 2015 on the belief that a world in which we slow down and take better care of ourselves, others and the environment would be a better one. This wellness podcast explains how the energy we create within — our WELLNESS — and the energy with which we approach the world — our AWARENESS — are intricately connected and deeply affect each other and one another. Here, inspiring individuals who have designed a life that brings them joy share their stories and thoughts on topics like body image, minimalism, health, their connection to source, conscious consumption, yoga, daily habits, writing, art-making, and much more. It’s my hope these conversations provide a venue through which you can explore the dialogue with yourself, both mind and body, and the world around you.

WELL AWARE 42: Succurro Founder Owyn Ruck on Being A Sensitive Person, Self-Inquiry, Astrology, and Integrity

Articulate, headstrong, deft, hard working, self-aware, sensitive, nurturing, and collectively-oriented are all words that describe Owyn Ruck, the founder of Succurro. Succurro is a space that helps individuals as well as the collective regenerate humanity and reclaim a right to their own health. It’s located in East Meredith, New York — upstate, but away from all of the recent Brooklyn-transplant activity, claiming a space of its own.

Late last year I took an astrology class with Owyn through Succurro, and it changed my life. It was October, and I was in the beginnings of my healing crisis without even fully understanding what was going on. She opened up my eyes to a new way of thinking about astrology. Instead of rooting it in personality traits, she looks at a natal chart and sees potential and a clear healing journey, taking energetic cues rather than literal ones.
I’ve known about Succurro for a year or so, and I truly cannot remember how I came across it, but I’m glad I did. I was sucked into the mystery — the presentation on the website was so beautiful, their offerings were esoteric, and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Which lead me to reach out to Owyn, and I’m so glad I did! In our conversation we discuss:

What exactly Succurro is, who it serves, and why she created it
Owyn’s sensitive nature and how it manifests
How she navigated a relationship to Spirit in an atheist household growing up
Her best advice to someone looking at Succurro and wanting to create something similar
How to listen to your body, and Owyn’s story of a life-long struggle with hers
Her inquiry technique for clarity
How she came around to calling herself an artist
Whether she believes in ghosts (!)
The interplay of climate change and self-awareness

This episode will especially serve sensitive or highly sensitive people, anybody looking to open up their own healing center, and people interested in astrology and/or self-inquiry. Forward it to your friends, share widely, tag us on Instagram and let us know how this episode affected you.
