In this episode, you will find me in a very tender spot as I speak about my experience leaving a toxic work environment where who I am was not celebrated consistently. When you exist in the liminal, in the margins, living your truth out loud can feel like a death sentence. As I navigate what is next for me, I want to share my experience with the Ensoulment Community. I also mention a circle I will hold this coming Friday, December 15th, at 10AM EST. It is called “At the Hearth” and here we will sit and commune in collective meditation led me by with a reading asking where we can put our energy, and invite grief to sit outside of our bodies during this holy, dark season. It’s $9 to drop in with access to infinite replays. If this feels resonant, visit my website here. Get full access to samar writes. at samarjadecreative.substack.com/subscribe

Erin Kelley of Slow Magick stopped in for a conversation centering our practices of ancestor work, veneration and how this impacts our way of living our truths out loud.

We also briefly discuss the wound of whiteness and its impact not only on the global majority in its oppression, but also white folks. Please note: Death is discussed in this episode. While there is no mention of trauma or specific experiences in detail, if you are feeling tender, listen and remember to keep yourself grounded with embodiment practices.
