How does our spiritual path call us to transform how we show up and engage with the world? On the latest episode, I explore this question with sisters Christabel and Ruby Reed, the creative force behind Advaya, a global platform for alternative education and transformative experiences that sits at the intersection of ecology, well-being, and spirituality. As they say, they are building a community of change-makers around the principles of radical regeneration and joyful change, and have organized more than 150 events, featuring the wisdom of activists and leaders like Vandana Shiva, Bayo Akomolafe, Woman Stands Shining Pat McCabe, Riane Eisler, Rupert Sheldrake and many others. During today’s episode, we discuss activism as spiritual practice and the need to shift away from paradigms of domination, the prevalence of cultural anxiety, the importance of inquiry into wild feminine ways of being, and how and where we find joy amidst the chaos and stress of collective culture.
