a conversation with Micheal Reilly McDermott on the Sounds of SAND podcast
I had the truly great pleasure of being in conversation with Micheal Reilly McDermott on the Sounds of SAND: Science and Non-Duality Podcast last week, and the episode has recently aired. It was a conversation with breadth and depth, and I hope you will listen.
I’m linking here to the Sounds of SAND website so you can find the episode wherever you enjoy listening to podcasts.
In this conversation, we explore embodiment as a political and spiritual practice, embodiment as a framework for systemic change, and how returning to the wisdom of the body can help us imagine and build a more just, interconnected future.
