Ep. 36 – Embodiment and Feminine Archetypes with Rishe Groner

Soaking in the divine feminine energy found in Judaism, Rabbi Rishe Groner and Madison Margolin explore the blessings of ecstatic embodiment.

“The soul, deep down, really still wants to utilize the body to achieve a higher level of soul by taking all of those physical things and elevating them and making them something that is embodied divinity.” – Rishe Groner

• Jewish community building
• Rishe’s journey back to Judaism through therapy and plant medicine
• Bringing ecstasy, embodiment, and immersion into an institutional structure
