About this episode
I’m going to be honest, we go a lot of places in this episode. The throughline? Poetry. Poetry and how we organize our values, poetry and rituals, poetry and manifestation, poetry at the end of a crumbling empire…
I told you. We touch on a lot. Tune in to hear:
Why we (i.e., humans) choose “words of the year” — and another ritual you might want to try.
A few poems! And how poetry defies timelines.
Why poetry and art matter (on both a global AND personal scale) in times like these.
