Public Space: a Community for the In-Between

Public Space [Season 2] Sensuality of Self (March 11 2026)

Together, we will foster a supportive community that empowers individuals to reclaim their voice, embrace their unique journeys, embody a Path-Maker Archetype and find solace and strength in the company of like-minded individuals. Public Space Dialogue: "Sensuality of Self"  Date & Time: March 11, 2026  Synopsis:  In this episode of Public Space, we enter a deeply personal and embodied conversation with photographer and creative Wren Morrow about what it means to reclaim sensuality after purity culture, religious conditioning, and the quiet ways many of us learned to distrust our own bodies. Wren’s work as an outdoor boudoir and erotic adventure photographer emerged from her own journey of unlearning the rules she grew up with in the Bible Belt—rules that framed the body as something to control, hide, or transcend. Instead of continuing to perform those inherited scripts, she began exploring sensuality as something far more honest: an inherent quality of being alive. Together, we explore how sensuality becomes a form of self-recognition rather than performance, and how returning to the body can open pathways for healing religious trauma, reclaiming agency, and rediscovering a sense of belonging within one’s own skin. Recorded during the threshold between Pisces and Aries season, this dialogue moves between reflection and courage—between remembering and becoming. In this conversation, we explore: * How purity culture shapes our relationship to the body and desire * Photography as an embodied and spiritual practice * The difference between performative sexuality and authentic sensuality * Healing religious trauma through presence, nature, and self-trust * What it means to live visibly and truthfully in one’s own body Sensuality of Self is an invitation to listen inward—to the quiet intelligence of sensation, the rhythms of the natural world, and the possibility that the sacred was never somewhere else to begin with. For anyone navigating life beyond inherited frameworks of shame or certainty, this episode offers a gentle reminder: the body is not an obstacle to spiritual life—it is the doorway.

Sher introduces us to the mind as a dynamic, living ecosystem — one shaped by memory, emotion, environment, habit, trauma, imagination, and the stories we tell ourselves. Rather than treating thought as a mechanical process, Cognitive Ecology offers a nuanced, compassionate framework for understanding how our inner landscapes evolve and how we can learn to navigate them with greater clarity. Sher’s approach is accessible, deeply human, and rooted in both psychological insight and lived experience. Whether you’re moving through transition, seeking greater self-awareness, or simply curious about the invisible structures shaping your thoughts, this conversation offers a powerful guide to understanding the landscapes within. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of how to see your mind differently — and how that shift can transform the way you live.

Public Space Dialogue: "Embodying The Goddess"  Date & Time: January 10th, 2026  Synopsis:  In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author, educator, and yoga therapist Cynthia Abulafia for a powerful conversation on embodiment, healing, and spirituality beyond rigid frameworks. Drawing from her Shakta-tantra lineage and her upcoming book, Embodying the Goddess, Cynthia invites us to reconsider the role of the body as central—not peripheral—to the spiritual path. Together, we explore how patriarchal and transcendence-oriented spiritual systems have often severed seekers from their bodies, intuition, and lived experience. Cynthia names this pattern as “transcendence bias” and offers a trauma-informed, compassionate response rooted in non-dual traditions, subtle body anatomy, movement science, and breath-based practices.

Raised within multiple belief systems and trained as an engineer, Prashanthi brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to spirituality — one that blends ancient wisdom with the daily realities of work, family, and inner growth. Together, we explore how Taoist principles like Wu Wei, openness, and reflective awareness can help us meet uncertainty with clarity and compassion. This conversation invites listeners to rethink the role of paradox in modern life — not as a source of confusion, but as a pathway to balance, resilience, and gentle transformation. Through practical rituals, lived insight, and a deep respect for the Tao Te Ching, Prashanthi illuminates how simple shifts in perspective can open space for peace amid constant change.

Public Space [Season 2] Divine Astrology-Part 2 (Dec 24 2025)

Episode 3: Divine Astrology (Part II) — After the Retrograde In this continuation of our conversation on Divine Astrology, Public Space returns to a dialogue that began under the disruptions of Mercury retrograde—a moment when communication faltered, technology intervened, and only fragments could initially be spoken. What began as a 12-minute interruption now unfolds into a deeper, more spacious exploration. In this episode, Dr. Aaron Waldron, M.Div., continues reflecting on the work and teachings of Dr. Louis Turi, expanding the conversation into astrology as a living dialogue between cosmos and consciousness. Rather than superstition or prediction, Divine Astrology is approached here as a sacred science of the soul—one that invites participation, discernment, and embodied awareness. Together, we explore how Divine Astrology carries an ancient wisdom that transcends institutional and colonized religious frameworks, returning us to a direct, experiential relationship with the Divine through the cosmos itself. Beyond dogma and doctrine, astrology emerges as a theopoetic practice: an art of reading the sky as scripture—not written in text, but expressed through symbols, rhythms, cycles, and archetypes. In this expanded dialogue, the planets are no longer distant celestial bodies but mirrors of personal and collective evolution—revealing how spirit, psyche, and sky participate in a shared language of meaning. This episode invites listeners to consider: * What if the stars are not fortune-tellers, but storytellers? * How might cosmic consciousness help us remember our place within a living universe? * Can astrology become a bridge for those healing from religious trauma—restoring wonder, destiny, and divine order without fear or coercion? With reflections drawn from Dr. Turi’s cosmic philosophy and a renewed clarity after retrograde disruption, Episode 3: Divine Astrology (Part II) becomes both continuation and integration—a reminder that sometimes meaning arrives not despite interruption, but through it.
