What does it mean to be a full-spectrum human? What are all the pieces that weave together to form our experience and how do we distill them down into something that holds deep resonance for us?

These questions lay at the heart of the conversation that unfolded when I got together with Dajé James, aka the Story Doula, a storyteller, flower essence practitioner, and space-holder for wild-hearted leaders and creative entrepreneurs, who supports creatives in owning their voices and waging beauty with their unique medicine.

Our explorations of:

• ancestral connection;
• distinguishing instinct from intuition;
• the roles of ritual, initiation, and elderhood in our development;
• and what’s meant by “finding your medicine”

are all interwoven with Daje’s own story - from running away from a cult to go to college, to the visceral intensity of experiencing her first big spiritual awakening and initiation, and what she’s passionate about cultivating in the world now.

If you’re someone who is curious what else might be possible for our culture and our future; if you’re someone with a deep spiritual connection; if you’re someone who wants to open your intuition and develop your capacity for subtle communication… I think you’ll find something of resonance in this conversation.

Gather with us? Open to the Great Mystery with us? Welcome your full-spectrum experience with us?

I hope you will.

Your medicine is wild, unique, and necessary.
