Today I've invited my good friend Moriah Helms to join us on the show to talk about some topics that I feel are part of the journey, wherever you are in it.
"The cult of individualism has led some of us to believe that we can be well by simply eating the right foods and doing certain (often appropriated) spiritual practices. But in reality, this way of being leaves a deeper spiritual toxin firmly rooted in our beings. Without confronting white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, and how they all interconnect and influence us, we can never be truly well. I believe that excavating these toxins (a lifelong process) allows us to plant the seeds of belonging and creative potential in our lives." - Moriah Helms
Moriah lives in midcoast Maine, Wabanaki territory, where she practices lymphatic bodywork and energetic healing, stewards a large garden, engages in transformative justice and mediation within my community, reconnects with her ancestors, and runs around in the woods with my dogs.
