S2 E30: Music & Nature for Spiritual Connections | A Southern Dialogue with Irminsul

S2 E30: Music & Nature for Spiritual Connections | A Southern Dialogue with Irminsul

Our guest Irminsul went from being a staunch desert witch in Utah to deeply connecting to the tropical environment of a Pacific Island, and we talk about his experience connecting to the nature and culture of Hawaii. If you've been transplanted into an environment that is different from what you are used to, he's got some great advice for you. The topic of appropriation in these circumstances is also brought up! We also talk about the power of the elements, and his experience as a professional musician and how that relates to his spiritual path. What a wonderful conversation, y'all come on in!
