Micah Springer is the author of Keepers of the Story, co-owner of Vital Center for Mind-Body Health, A Bowspring Instructor ( a postural paradigm revolutionary to the yoga industry), a Presenter on Sustainability in Art, Africa, Ayurveda, Astrology, & Sacred Circles and Rites. and my favourite part, she is a gifted storyteller.

In our most powerful episode to date, we explore the many layers of Grief. 

In an era of positive thinking, memes, affirmations and mantras, I see more and more emotions and behaviours labelled as negative; denied the flow of expression and suppressed within, becoming toxic.  "Cancel Culture" I feel is harmful, and limiting, to the true potential of the human race - because it disallows for growth of character, of integrity and denies us the full human experience which has to allow for mistakes. Mistakes are more often than not made not just in ignorance, but under the influence of pain, and grief. 

Cozy up with your favourite cup of hot comfort, grab a blanket, light a candle and settle in for deep revelation in the spirit of love.
