This week’s guest is Cassondra Kenny and we dive in on red flags in the spiritual industry.
How we can be informed and empowered, in the face of the questionable scenarios that can arise in this space around integrity, sovereignty, empowerment, and capitalism?
Cassie is an artist, creative, & space holder. In the modern crisis of disconnection and distraction, Cassondra seeks to guide others in cultivating and recovering the innate wisdom available through deep relationship to our bodies, and rediscovering the nourishment and grace that is available through grounding into and opening up to the natural world around us.
