This episode was assigned to me by Spirit a few nights after returning from Sharm and the first Hold Us Sacred Retreat. It is a tribute to MarleyAyo, and eulogy of sorts, that I believe Oya, compelled me to record and rewatch to aid me in my own grieving process, and to give me full permission and power to rebuild MarleyAyo from my deepest desires and knowing.  I also believe I was called to recor...

Listen with care and kindness for yourself and all you love

This episode is a heart opener for those of us who have never experienced true safety in our bodies, and our environments. The kind of love and safety that disarms us and cradles us into sweet transformation, from rock to water, from fire to wind. Apologies for two mispronunciations. Sharm el Sheik (should be pronounced Sharm el *Shake) and the name Mahmoud should be pronounced Mah-*mood). Please...
