52 | From Incarceration to Inspiration with Bruce King

Welcome back to another incredible episode of Sacred Rebels! In this weeks episode, we're honored to sit down with Bruce King, a passionate activist, advocate, and public speaker whose journey from incarceration to transformative healing is nothing short of inspiring. Bruce's life took a transformative turn after a fateful weekend encounter. Recognizing he had strayed far from his intended path, he spent the summer focused on healing and rediscovery. After a seven-year hiatus from active recovery work, a period dominated by professional commitments and raising his daughters, Bruce made a conscious effort to reconnect with deeper energies and larger life concepts. Embracing various forms of journeying and healing, he actively sought to revitalize and realign his life’s trajectory. Bruce shares his profound beliefs in the universe, the critical role of community in dislodging trauma, and the importance of starting healthy habits early.

Join us as we explore Bruce's work with Maine Inside Out, an organization using theater to help young people in detention facilities tell their stories and change the system. Bruce’s lived experience with incarceration has empowered him as the Co-Executive Director to promote vulnerability and disrupt cycles of violence among young men.

This episode dives deep into the healing potential of somatic practices, neuroplasticity, and breathwork, as well as the unique paths of recovery from addiction. We reflect on our own journeys, the significance of community, and the multifaceted modalities that support personal growth and emotional release. Bruce also shares his experience with AA, touching upon its controversial aspects and his reconnection to spirituality through recovery.

Before we close, we delve into the challenges of expressing emotions, the ongoing journey of self-awareness, and the vital need for authentic leadership. Whether you’re seeking hope, community, or practical healing methods, this episode is filled with wisdom and encouragement. Tune in, breathe deep, and let's embark on this healing journey together on Sacred Rebels.
