Belonging to the Wild
Ep. 32: Spiritual Sovereignty & the Ground of the Soul with Dr. Mackenzie Amara
I am thrilled to have Dr. Mackenzie Amara back on Belonging to the Wild! In this conversation, we talk about spiritual sovereignty, spiritual violence, and the embodied difference between knowing and certainty. We also talk about some of the experiences we might encounter as we step into more sovereignty, in particular the experience of being and feeling misunderstood. Our conversation returns repeatedly to the importance of cultivating complexity and embracing the many stories as we navigate these big questions. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
