In episode 5, we weave a thread in the tapestry of collective liberation, one of the foundational topics of this podcast. We consider some big questions: How do we opt out of individualism and centering comfort? How do we opt into our inherent belonging to the earth and to each other? Entwining together brilliant wisdom from some of our most inspiring teachers with our own personal musings, we explore rest as resistance, grief & gratitude, and a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves. The episode closes with a mindful breath practice.
