Earlier in the season I invited world renowned author and expert on Druidry, occult and ancient mysticism John Michael Greer onto the podcast.
That episode, Druidry - A Path to Wholeness, has since been the most listen to episode of The Embrace and Expand podcast.
Since all of you listening seemed to enjoy that episode so much I thought it best to invite John Michael Greer back onto the podcast so we could gain some more of his wisdom.
If you didn’t catch that episode go ahead and take a pause now and give it a listen.
Then come back and join John Michael Greer and I for another enlightening conversation.
