#54 | Collette Davis | Belonging to Everything

Today I’m joined by a dear friend and colleague, Colette Davis.We got together to discuss the intersections of Shaiva Tantra and Depth Psychology, but in the end we enter deep waters as Collette opens up about the tragic story of her relationship with her mother who passed earlier this year. She brings a depth, sensitivity and vulnerability to this personal yet universal theme of love and loss between mothers and daughters. From Collette's Bio: https://www.samavesayoga.com"I’m an Embodied Flow™ facilitator, Senior yoga teacher and humble shepherd of the Samāveśa School of Yoga, where I offer online and in- person trainings, courses, retreats and community. I’ve been a devoted student and practitioner of Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra since 2014 and have studied with some of the world’s leading teachers, including Tara Judelle, Sianna Sherman, Hareesh Wallis, Leila Sadeghee, and Adyashanti."I don’t get down so well with hierarchical systems of power and am interested in disrupting the teacher-student binary. I advocate for circular communities where we get to co-create a safe and kind space together, weaving trauma informed practices so we all feel held and supported. I’m a mama bear at heart so you can expect a big generous holding field and a healthy friendship that honours boundaries on both sides."My Clark Kent job, for twenty years, has been as a copywriter and brand consultant and I have been the Director and Creative Director of Found for Words since 2010. I have two Masters degrees with Distinction and my most recent degree was in Interdisciplinary Psychology, which I thread through my teachings and trainings."Artwork: Frederic Leighton - The Return of Persephone (1981)Join the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.
