Jaya and ashe discuss the sacred material that makes us; all the joy, all the trauma, all the experiences and how those come into play to encourage us to let go of punishment as what motivates us. To be open to love, as the way to move.

We reflect on how moving with love can be easy, because it is in harmony with what we are. What if we put as much energy or more into something out of love, as we do out of fear? Or ran as fast towards something you love, as from something you fear?

Permission for that.

We're talkin' about Love and we hope you enjoy.
