📺 Watch this Episode

On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Koudounaris to discuss his latest trip to Indonesia and Tana Toraja's Ma'nene Festival. Every few years, families exhume the preserved bodies of their loved ones, carefully clean and groom them, and even dress them in fresh clothes. This ritual is a celebration of life and a way to honor ancestors. To see the visuals discussed in this episode, please watch on YouTube.
