Description
In a world where humans who feel vibrant, whole, and fully alive are increasingly rare; where burnout and brokenness is increasingly the norm; how did we get here? And- what cultural practices and wisdom might help us stay true to the rhythm of our aliveness through this wild, heart-breaking, rare and precious life?
Your host: Kate Powell -an old soul who tried 'normal' but found being a semi-feral mystic at the wild edges was a better fit. Now supports other humans who’ve lost their spark and want it back.
Episodes drop on full and new moons.
Intro music by: Oleksii Kaplunskyi
