Listen "Navigating Rites of Passage: Laura Deva"
Episode Synopsis
Initiation is an unavoidable part of life. We’re constantly being initiated into new experiences, whether we like it or not. Sometimes we thrive in these experiences, but sometimes they can be traumatic. Sometimes we get stuck in a loop in the process. What a dedicated space for initiation can provide is a way to go through important rites of passage deliberately, powerfully, and with the attentive support of a community…Laura Deva, who is a ISTA + Highden Temple facilitator and psychotherapist, illuminates this on our show. In conversation with Simon, she explores the differences and similarities between therapeutic spaces and spaces of initiation. Some of the topics Laura touches on are: Getting stuck on ‘loop’ when life is giving you an initiationThe importance of resolution and integrationThe power of group processesThe element of surpriseLetting our bodies guide usReaching out for helpIf you like this episode, please leave a rating and review!
