Cowrie Shells podcast is premised upon the tradition that cowrie shells have been called ornaments of treasure and that our faith stories themselves can be as treasure.

Through the medium of both interviews and narrative, listen in to their inspirational stories and get ready to identify and share your own. Hosted on Acast.
