Revealing Our True Selves Through Grief in July’s We Conspire series

Walking Through the Transformative Fire 

How have the fires in your life transformed you? In many spiritual traditions, transformation has been likened to an encounter with fire—first, we experience disorientation and pain, but in the end, we experience a truer version of ourselves.  

In this moving conversation between Mirabai Starr and Jacqui Lewis on the podcast Love Period, learn to embrace fire as a symbol for purging what serves us in loving more deeply. 

Love Period is a spiritual podcast by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and the Center for Action and Contemplation
