Ep.102 - Sydney's Story | Hearing the Call & Trusting the Way to Freedom | Sacred Pathways Podcast

“The call for liberation is a call from our True Nature. It is a call to remember who we are beyond the consciousness of domination—the very root from which all oppressive systems and ways of relating grow: whether in our relationship to oneself, other humans and beyond-humans, the Earth and, now, Life herself. This consciousness, ultimately, veils the Truth of Life within and around us.” - Sydney Searchwell-SimpsonVideo link: https://youtu.be/Y8zIVxpXJbA Subscribe to listen to Sacred Pathways on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Youtube!In this episode of the Sacred Pathways Podcast, we journey with the host, Sydney Searchwell-Simpson, through her personal story of uncovering liberation and the mission she lives in and creates from today.
