Ok, everything is a concept but in this wonderful conversation with Clare Dimond we explore what is actually happening, in the body, right now, in our experience, we discussed spiritualising away your every day moment to moment experience, with innocent attempts to stabilise an identity where it is never possible, trauma being the origin and maintainer of the identity that I think I am, even when I sharing spiritual shit that sounds great. This conversation really shines a light on what is happening, how and where to look, and most importantly, it’s all ok.
