Orange Ripcord

Education EN ↓ 96 episodes

The instruction, the jump, the free-fall, the ripcord pull, the floating, and the landing. We embody and re-tell these stories of our lives where we pull the ripcord. Join me on this journey as we celebrate storytelling, great courage, and inspire each other towards new levels of healing and wholeness. For the full experience, this podcast is best enjoyed in a quiet space—perhaps even with your eyes closed—as you allow these stories to sink in and resonate more deeply within. Audio Production by Ryan Caldwell, Bird Garden Studio
