139. The Sacred Polarities Panel, Part 1: Archetypal Relationships, Toxic Masculinity and the "Us and Them" Illusion featuring Seven Wise Colleagues Awakening Aphrodite

How would you define the sacred polarities of masculinity and femininity?

How do the light and shadow characteristics of these intrinsic energies play into our daily lives and shape our modern culture?

These are just two of the many aspects of duality that we ponder in this week's special episode, featuring 7 of my favorite holistic coaches, healers, colleagues and friends. I am BEYOND excited to share this discussion with you with the hopes that it sparks introspection, inspiration and perhaps a deeper curiosity and reverence for the archetypal patterns that both challenge and support our collective human development.
