01. Finding Refuge
Welcome to The Finding Refuge Podcast!
This podcast emerged from work based in the exploration of collective grief and liberation. It exists to remind us about all the ways we can find refuge during unsettling and uncertain times, and to remind us about the resilience and joy that comes from allowing ourselves to find refuge.
Michelle C. Johnson, author, yoga teacher, healer, social worker, dismantling racism trainer, activist, and grief-worker, offers monthly interviews, engaging and amplifying the brilliance and wisdom of people who have found ways to honor their grief and stay centered amidst the turmoil in the world. It uplifts the brilliance and wisdom of people who are invested in creating conditions for liberation for the collective. We feature spiritual teachers, movement practitioners, activists and social change makers, and people who hold space in various ways for healing.
By listening, you will gain ideas about how to find and create refuge for yourself and others. You will learn about rituals to move through grief and find freedom. You will learn tools to prevent you from being swept up by the chaos of the world. You will reaffirm your capacity to heal.
We look forward to sharing these conversations with you, and to cultivating a larger community through these interviews.
In solidarity,
Michelle C. Johnson
