Jade and I sit down to discuss The Circumstances, how they're impacting us and our communities. Our conversation touches on concepts of community, isolation, land stewardship, spiritual practice, silence, retreat from the city, and more.

Jade is a writer, and long-time spiritual practitioner. She lives in a tiny-house in the woods with her cat, surrounded by silence and the voices of nature.

They discuss Angie's background, the intersecting challenges we’re facing in the States, the importance of grounding and self-care, and how communities can prepare for uncertain futures. The conversation delves into the need for intergenerational mentorship, addressing collective grief, and the vital role of storytelling in healing religious trauma. Tune in for an enriching dialogue on evolving community connections and resilient spiritual leadership.
