Host Nina Powell discusses topics such as welcoming the concept of Lady Death, engaging with Somatic Shadow Alchemy, and manifesting dreams into reality.

It offers listeners a reflective and embodied approach to personal transformation.

The problem with us humans is that we always want to know our destination
The problem with us humans is that we always want to know our destination. And we find it very, very hard to go putting one foot in front of the other without knowing exactly where we’re supposed to end up. And why that’s a problem is because you actually can’t.
