In today's society, it can be easy to find ourselves overwhelmed by unease and fear and simply grieving what used to be. In this episode with healers and storytellers Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy, they share about learning to manage our sense of discomfort around others with differentiating views and how we can use the power of positive belonging and community for healing and understanding.

Lewis and Barbara co-direct the Coyote Institute, where they are committed to bridging Indigenous wisdom, storytelling, psychology, and modern medicine. They share about their exciting 5th Annual Two-Eyed Seeing Conference coming up in January and tell stories of spiritual healing across many disciplines. The episode ends with a powerful metta meditation to offer yourself acceptance and kindness so that you can go on to wish those same affirmations on the ones we love, as well as those who make us uncomfortable.

Lewis and Barbara were the very first guests on the Walk Through Grief with Grace podcast, and as these four years of the show come to an end, it is an honor to welcome them back on for a message of love, deep listening, and collaboration in a divisive world.
