This week we are joined by the dazzling Dajé Alōh aka The Story Doula, and DANG do we get blessed by her presence. She takes us all the way to church and to the underworld beneath the church, and has us swinging from the rafters by the end of it. We talk recovery from fundamentalist Christian upbringing, and mining the jewels from the faith for a more creative, more gritty OF THE EARTH AND DIRT kind of spiritual fortitude.
We talk about the patriarchy killing our relationship to worship and awe.
We talk about how everybody can be a land-steward regardless of your location or occupation, and how our relationship to the land we live on has everything to do with our relationship to the Divine.
I got drunk on the magic sauce up in this one. Enjoy enjoy, babies.
