Tessa Bielecki: On Betrayal and Becoming Alive

The Soul Purpose with Liza J. Rankow

Dr Liza J. Rankow argues these apocalyptic, alchemical times make it all the more essential to find and follow the soul purpose of your path, to find the healing that is yours to live and to give, so that your life becomes Soul Medicine for a Fractured World (the title of her brilliant book that explores Healing, Justice, and the Path of Wholeness).
