In this episode I'll share insights from my recent Substack post on the metaphor of the butterfly life cycle and why as a society we are in a "chrysalis phase" right now. This episode includes:

  • The need for grief rituals - both individual and collective - as we navigate this time of dissolution
  • Why forgiveness is an essential part of grief work
  • Why each of us must find our own unique form of creativity to bring to the world
  • How to protect what is new and fragile
  • Recognizing other "imaginal cells" in order to collaborate
