TENTANG EPISODE INI
Yara Travieso is a brilliant artist, film maker, big feeler, and wisdom sharer. Yara embodies so much love and power in this world. I have been healed and quoted Yara many times in this life (“The more I heal, the less ambitious I become.”) and I will continue too. This is one of my favorite and most powerful conversations I’ve had on here. And now I have the privilege to share it with y’all. Enjoy.
Some other clips of Yara’s wisdom:
PS. a poem this convo inspired:
Make the body tender.
Not too soft
Not too firm.
Tender
Open like earth after rain.
The body is ancient
It spills, It seeps, It builds bridges.
It is where all the answers are.
We live through practices of connection. We learn that skin is not a wall But a prayer, A possibility.
We turn up the volume On the desire to be more alive. Let the ache be a signal. Let the longing be a guide.
Turn up the volume
On our liberation. Until the silence of oppression cannot hold its shape.
Let the body lead.
Tender,
Ancient,
A map we were born with, A revolution we carry.
