5: Poetry in times of turmoil (with Mazarine Treyz)

I’m going to be honest, we go a lot of places in this episode. The throughline? Poetry. Poetry and how we organize our values, poetry and rituals, poetry and manifestation, poetry at the end of a crumbling empire… I told you. We touch on a lot. Tune in to hear: Why we (i.e., humans) choose “words of the year” — and another ritual you might want to try. A few poems! And how poetry defies timelines. Why poetry and art matter (on both a global AND personal scale) in times like these.
