This episode was recorded one day before the outbreak of the LA fires, so first and foremost our hearts are with all those impacted. We are deeply sitting with all the loss and grief both personally and collectively as we navigate what is to come for family and friends who have lost everything. Our hope is that this episode can serve as a compass and connector to the greater forces surrounding us so that we feel more firmly planted within the cosmos.
