Cannabis + Spirituality - Feels Good To Hear Kindred Spirits
My first episode and it almost brought me to tears. It’s such a deep indescribable joy to hear women in Cannabis speak about spirituality in a way that’s so so so so so familiar to me. From negative childhood experiences, shame and guilt that stigmatized my bloodlines beautiful ancient earth-based traditions to the transcending storm one of the host’s experienced. There’s an electricity that’s ignited in a woman when she can see herself reflected back to her. It’s a form of validation that she didn’t even know she needed. I ran from my spirituality for a long time because the world didn’t reflect it back to me in a way that made sense to others. I’m grateful to all that is for my current comfort in my own spirituality and am glad to have heard this. Thank you!
