EPISODE #2 OF THE PSYCHED SOUL PODCAST
"PEACE & PEYOTE: RESOLVING INTERNAL CONFLICTS FOR COLLECTIVE LIBERATION" WITH SHIRI GODASI
About this Episode
Have you ever considered peace in itself to be an emotional trigger? How can it be leveraged towards deep shadow work and dismantling victim consciousness? What is the role of integrating different experiences, worlds, and ontological realities as the pathway to peace? And how can we investigate and resolve our individual internal conflicts as tools for collective healing and liberation?
In this episode Shiri shares a poignant account of recent events affected by the war in the Middle East: a traditional and humbling Peyote ceremony; a too-personal encounter with online cancel culture; a roundtable conversation with a Palestinian woman; and a spiritual dance with a trusted elder. Listen to this episode to learn how these real-life moments were leveraged as repeated opportunities for psychic healing, clearing internal violence and embracing peace within, to ultimately integrate harmony into the collective.
