Opening Ceremony

According to Metzner (2009), ceremony or ritual is a “‘...purposeful, conscious arrangement of time, space, and action, according to specific intentions,’” and this opening episode is just that. Faith calls upon the wisdom of all who came before, inviting the energy of birth and life-forwarding medicine as she shares her intention of the podcast's inception. May it be a rite of passage: an initiation for us to enter into the forest and befriend our own wildness, returning with more wisdom and clarity of how we are to serve.
