On Sacredness, Connection and Being Seen

What makes a space sacred? Is it the rituals we create, the history we honor, or the quiet moments of reflection we bring? In this episode, we delve into a family trip to Washington DC where we visited Arlington National Cemetery.  It’s a place where the undulating hills of headstones spark profound questions about human connection and individuality. Join us as we explore the paradox of belonging to something greater while yearning to be seen as unique. From rituals of remembrance to the universal desire to leave our mark, this conversation invites us to reconsider what it means to create sacredness in our everyday lives. Ava and Andrew - I feel so privileged to have shared such a sacred moment with you. Thank you for sharing your perspective - I hope to get better at finding more ways to connect with you while also celebrating the unique light you bring to this world. I love you!
