Stories of Awakening

This month we are releasing a conversation we had with Steven Washington that was recorded in February 2020.  We recorded it with the intention of releasing it in December, and full of the feeling that 2020 would change us all dramatically between the recording and release.  Oh man, were we right! 

This conversation leads us into the topics of conscious endings, holding suffering, and compassion fatigue.  We dive into the deep waters of how to be together at this threshold that requires each of us to claim our own journey as uniquely ours.

Steven Washington is a healer, teacher, podcaster and writer.  From his Qi gong and Pilates instruction, to his heartfelt writings about recovery and the nature of transformation, you can find a wealth of support and inspiration on his website:

This month's Stories of Awakening conversation with Elizabeth Russell is a deep one, so deep and special in fact, that we couldn't finagle a smooth technical connection.  This episode is for those thirsty for the material and willing to be patient with the occasional glitchiness of the recording.  I promise it is worth it!  We look back over 2020 with insight and compassion and look forward with wonder-filled curiosity to 2021 and beyond.  (The audio version may be easier to listen to, if that is the case, you can access the audio mp3 of this episode at this link.)

Elizabeth Russell is the sacred space holder of Be Space, the creator of Dreamfruit Almanac and the New Moon Cafe.  She is our first returning conversation partner, brought back with enthusiasm especially because her first episode is a community favorite.  You will not want to miss out on the energetic swirl of wisdom and truth that she brings to Earth with her...
