Episode notes
Deep Trauma Can Yield Deep Medicine
- Deep trauma can produce deep medicine if met with courage and grieving rather than self-indulgence.
- People who heal often embody 'enough', creativity, service, simplicity, and an affinity for nature.
Ceremony Restores the Missing Process
- Modern life lacks ceremonial architecture to guide transitions and healing, leaving people without a process.
- Ceremony brings community, witness, grief work, and imagination to recover a stuck soul.
Start With The Next First Track
- Transformation begins by admitting you don't know and stepping into the unknown with openness.
- Small 'next first tracks' compound into a life aligned with God's will and creative purpose.
