Ep112: Strength is looking in the mirror: seeking truth and liberation in a strength card year
In this moment of so much global pain and fear, how do we re-locate our bearings and connection to ourselves and each other? How do we combat the onslaught of disembodiment and interpersonal violence that capitalism uses against us? Where do we go from here?
In this first solo episode of season 8, Tavi shares some contemplations, insights and practices for deeper self-reflection and grounding down into our own power and unique gifts in the post-election haze--and winding down of this Strength card year.
Also mentioned: homophobia and racism in ohio v.s. oregon, living through the US’s cartoonish Pluto Return, and some very concrete reality checks and advice for yt folks who want to show up in more tangible ways.
