In this episode, I’m joined by long-time friend of DevaTree, the incredible Kristi Corlett. Kristi’s a yoga instructor, shamanic practitioner, author, and kirtan musician. But just like you and I, she can’t only be defined by what she does.
Episode 002: We all have our current roles and passions, but aren’t we so much more? Aren’t we ever-becoming? And why do we have such an attachment to how we define ourselves? Kristi shares the process of her shamanic journey work and how tapping into this practice can help us answer some of these big questions.
In our conversation, Kristi shares how she was led to meditation, yoga, and shamanic journeying and how they’ve played an immense role in her healing. She talks about the empowerment that comes from working with challenges and how stillness can help us germinate our potential. She shares the lessons she’s received through her off-grid lifestyle, how it isn’t always easy, and our interconnection to all that is.
