Ep 24 — Is Beauty the Fear of Dying? Beauty as a Birthright
-
- Mode och skönhet
Mangda Sengvanhpheng is an artist, healing practitioner, and the Founder of BACII. Her life’s work is guided by her Laotian last name, which means “the light of the full moon.” She explores ways of illuminating our fears and bridging the duality of living and dying through her platform, BACII. Additionally, she has been immersed in the mystical and healing arts for over 15 years, and is currently enrolled in New York Zen Center’s Contemplative Care program.
In the episode, Mangda talks about her work as a "death doula" and what it was like growing up mixed-race and multiple cultural in a primarily white-dominant neighborhood. She shares about how her mother's own relationship to beauty had an impact on her ideas of beauty, as well as what she believes is on the other side of death. Tamsin draws a comparison between death in the Western world and Eastern Asian Medicine, and Paige shares her perspective on after-life consciousness.
