(21:12) The proof that community is not a luxury, but a human necessity. (23:24) Why "staying strong" is BS. (24:47) Imaginal Cells clustering in community, and how, together, they set in motion each other's transformations. (25:40) How to practically apply within your own community what you learn during these festivals. (30:30) The Archetypal Quest of the Guardians of the Earth. (32:57) How 'Satori Rising' in Pensacola, FL started a Deep South Revival. (35:16) How to build a conscious community.
