Collectively our humanity is facing a lot of challenges currently both politically socially and economically and specially spiritually. Over the last seven months I have dedicated myself to really diving in and going within. As I watch everything unfold in Minnesota and throughout the country I felt compelled to talk about spirituality and to talk about some of the things that we can do as we face all of this distribution, hatred and ugliness in the world. As always this space is a space to share our voice, our collective pain and celebrate our collective healing. I know that sometimes facing the day itself can feel tough but I want you to remember how sacred and divine you really are. We must stop listening to outside forces that try to minimize the divinity from which we truly originate. Please listen to the podcast with an open mind and an open heart. #lifecope #collectivehealing #spirituality
