In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our dear friend, Jae Side, to discuss the global movement of Transformational Festivals – how they are transforming us as individuals and as a society and paving the way for a more conscious planet. (5:10) Jae Side's Introduction. (7:15) What is the Global Cultural Renaissance? (8:18) Where Jae's research on Transformational Festivals began in the jungle of Costa Rica.  (10:33) How we can use Transformational Festivals to make an impact on our world and how they transform us individually and as a society. (15:37) The importance of practicing vulnerability as a community. (18:15) Finding your Higher Purpose within these gatherings. (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.
