  • Summary

  • This bonus episode was inspired by a question Davide asked in our interview with Hayley and Katie (Season 3 Episode 6).

    Tune in for an introduction to polyvagal theory (including a quick overview of the ventral vagal, dorsal vagal, and sympathetic nervous system responses) and our take on why understanding this theory can support us in forming connections and building communities.


    RESOURCES

    A book that unexpectedly changed our lives when we read it earlier this year was Waking Up to the Dark: The Black Madonna's Gospel for An Age of Extinction and Collapse. Our thoughts on light and its impact on the human body and psyche mentioned in this episode are tied deeply to this book. We highly recommend it.


    Although neither of us have read Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use it for Good yet, it's at the top of our list! We really respect the work of Kimberly Ann Johnson and have no doubt that this book, like all she shares, is incredibly valuable.
