Mystics in the MatrixHealing (?) and the Beauty and Generativity of Incompleteness w/ Sophie StrandThis is a conversation with author, poet and brilliant ‘compost heap of ideas’, Sophie Strand. Sophie is kind, generous of spirit and invitational. Our time together was an unhurried meander, getting a sense of each other before we approached the big topics that we planned to speak about. We arrived at things she has recently been writing about, namely challenging our conceptions of both healing and trauma, acknowledging incompleteness as an intrinsic and beautiful part of life, and the generativity that constraints offer us.

But that light - those sacred dreams - they always stay lit. Ready whenever you are.
