This episode of The Sober Shaman podcast serves as a companion piece to the recent written post of the same name. In it, we explore the year’s first Shamanic wRites topic—trust—and how a shamanic perspective can provide insight, connection, and empowerment through my response to the prompt.

Here are some bullets on how we can do this:

* Going to where the truth resides

* Merging with my spiritual bones

* Writing from this place

* Receiving the messages of truth as merged with the spirit of The Bones

Join me as we explore all of this in the podcast.

You can read my full response to the prompt, as well as any preparation work you’d like to do before undertaking your own wRites from the prompt, here in the written post:

I’m inviting anyone interested in collaborating to reach out. Ways to participate could include:

* Sharing what you received from the writing or journey exercises

* Proposing a writing prompt or offering a place in Non-Ordinary Reality to take a Medicine Drum Journey to that explores a recovery, mental health, and/or spiritual topic of concern

* Discussing how these exercises have worked for you, or, if you're a medical or mental healthcare professional, how they’ve worked for your clients

This could take the form of a written Q&A, a recorded Zoom session, or even through the new Substack live option.

As always, feel free to message me here on Substack or reach out directly via email: Spirit@RandalLyons.com

With blessings,Randal
