In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Rebe Huntman.
Rebe is a memoirist, essayist and poet who writes at the intersections of feminism, world religion and spirituality. Rebe holds an MFA in creative nonfiction from The Ohio State University and lives in Delaware, Ohio and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She is also the author of “My Mother in Havana: A Memoir of Magic and Miricle” released February 18, 2025. In her book she offers a window into the extraordinary world of Afro-Cuban gods and ghosts and the dances and rituals that call them forth. As she explores the memory of her own mother, interlacing it with her search for the sacred feminine, Reebe leads us into a world of séance and sacrifice, pilgrimage and sacred dance, which resurrect her mother and bring her face to face with a larger version of herself.
Christine and Rebe discuss:
· The draw of the pilgrimage quest and why that pull is so strong
· Connection and disconnection when we travel and what it’s like when you leave your camera behind
· Growing awareness of colonization and the deep complexities we witness when we travel
· Rebe’s new book, My Mother in Havana: A Memoir of Magic and Miracle
