Listening to a recent Lorde interview and she says the artist's job is to stay as close as possible to the animal body. In this frame, what do you all think the job of the healer is?

@nopranablem thank you @nopranablem !!!

@justavagrant_ awesome!! I'll reach out soon about it!

Ok, I'm so excited this is finally shareable – check out Sherpa, a beginnings of a database of healing journeys!

This was inspired by many convos where we were all like 'man, we sure wish the healing space was a little easier to navigate'. It's something like a proof of concept for what a journey-based navigational guide could look like.

Link below, check it out and let me know what you think <3

I founded a startup years ago called Potential, an app for building better habits. That gave me a frame of phone-based self-improvement, which I now look at as a questionable frame.

Over the years, I've come to appreciate how I was trying to find a technological solution to what is fundamentally an emotional problem.

If you're in a studio apartment doing individual practices, you're going to be in pain in some way – emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. While you're in that frame, using phone-based self-improvement tools can help you cope so that you can get out of that frame. But getting out of that space is the main goal.
