In this timeless, we explore the “ladder” - the system of hierarchies that tells us which bodies are worthy and which are not. From racism, ableism and capitalism to beauty standards and perfectionism, the ladder keeps us climbing for external validation and always leaves us feeling not enough. Radical self-love offers another way. It asks us to step off the ladder, to revisit the stories that placed us on it and to begin divesting from the messages that keep us trapped. It calls us back to our inherent worth, our divinity and our wholeness. Sonya Renee Taylor Sonya lays out her radical...

info_outlineHow can the wisdom held by indigenous communities help humanity evolve and heal?
In this episode entitled Through the Keyhole: Walking with the Divine Mother, Amisha sits down with internationally renowned spiritual leader Jyoti, who speaks about her early life as a woman waking up in the Southern United States, and how a series of calls, visions and sacred synchronicities led her to assemble a council of 13 indigenous grandmothers to wake up the world.
Together Amisha and Jyoti speak about the ways that we can respond to the overwhelming crises that we face on a global scale, the indigenous prophecies of what is to come in the next decades and how to listen within to find our path to healing and to service in the world.
“Our work right now is to move around the planet and try to hold these pieces of people’s hearts while they are opening. Our indigenous original cultures know how to walk through this – they have the prophecies that give us the instructions on how to walk through this.” ~ Jyoti
