  • Ep 10 Bonus: The Shambala Warrior Prophecy

    Ep 10 Bonus: The Shambala Warrior Prophecy
    Jun 20 2024
    In Episode 10, “We Are the Great Turning,” Joanna shares a story called the “Shambala Warrior Prophecy,” which was told to her by her friend, Tibetan Monk Chogyal Rinpoche. Joanna was tasked with teaching this prophecy in the West, and it’s one of her most famous teachings. We wanted to separate the story from Episode 10 so that you can come back to the story again and again, whenever you need the inspiration and wisdom it offers. Here is Joanna telling the Shambhala Warrior Prophecy. We recommend starting a podcast club with friends or family to do these practices together.
