Ep005: Radical Friendship with Kate Johnson

Описание: Have you found your people? How have those relationships helped you love yourself more?

In this episode, Layla Saad interviews Kate Johnson, writer, Buddhist meditation teacher, and facilitator, who leads courses and retreats integrating somatic movement, social justice, creativity, and the practice of wise relationships.

Her book, Radical Friendship: Seven Ways to Love Yourself and Find Your People in an Unjust World, is an incredible piece of work chock full of stories and practical methods to nurture the relationships in your life.

Together they explore:
Mindfully building relationships as a spiritual and revolutionary practice.
Holding space for both misalignment and intimacy in relationships with each other.
Quieting the internalized voices of our critics and elevating our own voices in our work.

Radical Friendship published by Shambhala is our July 2022 selection in the Become A Good Ancestor book club (https://www.becomeagoodancestor.com/b....

“Another reason I wanted to write the book is I needed a book-length piece of paper to be able to write out what I feel is the spiritual practice of holding our awareness both in the ways we are privileged and the ways we’ve been oppressed by society, and learning how to be in right relationship with other people who also have their own constellation of privileges and oppressions.

That is a mindfulness practice and it is one that takes kind attention and a lot of love. The opportunity there is we get to wake up to the ways we’re not free yet. I think that can only happen in the rub of relationships.”
