Today, I’m joined by my dear friend Portia for a conversation about naming and embodying the sacred roles that shape our work.We explore the challenge of finding words that honor what we do without diminishing it.Then we trace the paths of the teacher, priestess, jester, and more — slowly weaving the webs that hold us in the world. Healing work is essentially facilitating space in which people can meet the part of them that knows, and can touch the part of them that’s already whole. That’s all I’m ever trying to do. — grace allerdice Portia is a London based filmmaker and coach.
