In this episode, we are joined by our first guest, Nova, a seminary student, new thought practitioner, and aspiring spiritual leader who pushes us to think about ritual as a transformational practice and way of being. They talk us through the ways that ritual can be conscious or unconscious and can cause harm or be liberatory. Together we also delve into the body's connection to ritual and how powerful conscious embodiment can be with respect to healing bodily trauma and humanizing our existence and connection to each other.
