In this episode of our podcast, we reconnect with RG Shore, author of the spiritual memoir "The Ocean Inside Me." Expanding on our previous discussion last fall about his book in the making, RG delves deeper into his extraordinary journey of healing racial trauma. He shares his unique experience of finding peace and self-awareness while incarcerated in a predominantly white prison, emphasizing the paradox of discovering healing in a place of confinement. Central to RG's journey is the practice of visual meditation, which he used as a sanctuary amidst the chaos and a tool for introspection.In our last conversation with RG (Episode: 'White Noise, Brown Trauma: A Story of Awakening ft. Ro Shore'), we explored his profound story of personal growth and the transformative impact of meditation and embodiment practices during his incarceration. This episode builds upon that foundation, offering new insights into RG's continued journey and the evolution of his healing process.Throughout this episode, RG also delves into the process of self-publishing and the evolution of the publishing industry. His decision to control his narrative by self-publishing is a powerful statement on authenticity and self-determination. This episode not only explores RG's book but also his broader vision of healing and growth, which extends to developing a masterclass on Udemy and creating a supportive community through his nonprofit organization, Northwest Wisdom. His holistic approach to healing invites others to explore their paths to inner peace and healing.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, healing, and the transformative power of storytelling. RG's insights and experiences are not only inspiring but also offer practical approaches to overcoming personal challenges.
