“I identify with many parts of the story she tells regarding the spiritual exfoliation that can happen in the desert.”

Love this quote! I want to say I recently learned about the fasting aspects that can happen in the desserts and how this is a common place of wholeness.
I’ve seen in other pieces, you’ve mentioned spirituality and Christianity and I’ve been on a similar journey. I document it in my podcasts and would love your thoughts if time permits
Wow wow wow I have absolutely loved read both of these stories. Thank you for sharing. It's given me so much to think about. More recently I have found myself having frequent, silent conversations with a 'God' that guides my spirit and soul and I've been wondering how and where to go to explore this further. You've given mu much to consider and I will look at the books you have recommended. Reading this has brought back my own memories of church in childhood. I can only imagine how absolutely incredible this trip must have been for you Jolene. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Sarah! So glad to hear you found a resonance in my words. I think a lot of people are more God Curious these days, especially after everything we’ve all been through since 2020.😊
Such a beautiful, powerful share, Jolene. I'm excited and inspired by your capacity to listen deeply, follow the threads (rather than conventions or notions of "progress"), learn and unlearn and learn. And in a whole body-mind-spirit way. One that speaks to you now, and traces deep into time and beyond.
Also, love this: "We’re laid bare there; it’s a place to become new."
Thank you for bringing this share back from the latest chapter of your story.
Dana, I love your way with words and appreciate your kindness and support so much. It has been great meeting you here - even though we haven’t met in IRL, I know you get it. We walk as fellow sojourners on some of the unconventional roads and it’s nice to know you’re out there, walking your walk too!🙏❤️
