In this episode, Dave shares insights from Las Fallas, Valencia's ancient festival where magnificent sculptures are meticulously created only to be ceremonially burned. Drawing parallels between this ritual and our modern lives, Dave explores how we've abandoned ceremonial practices that help us process significant transitions.
He argues that without intentional ceremonial containers, we risk recycling old patterns rather than evolving. Through personal stories about "strategic solitude" and fire ceremonies, Dave explains how transformation requires more than intellectual understanding—it demands embodied experience, witnessed by community.
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, career transitions, or personal evolution, this episode will inspire you to reconsider the power of ceremony as a forgotten leadership tool that can help you release what no longer serves you and create space for meaningful growth.
