Tenneson and I have a conversation about the difference between believing that we are human beings that sometimes have spiritual experiences or spiritual beings that are having a human experience.

Quanita Roberson interviews Tenneson Woolf about his new book, A Cadence of Despair: Poems and reflections on Heartbreak, Loss, and Renewal.

Tenneson and I wanted to invite our Fire & Water online community to our online living room for a coffee/tea call. A big part of Fire & Water is the ability to pay attention to the unseen as well as the seen. In this call we gathered as larger community together and shared what has our attention in this unprecedented time. This episode is the follow up from that call.

As we step into our work with our Fire & Water 2019-2020 Cohort we are asked often what do we mean by initiation. Here is a conversation we had about the topic.
