56. Toko-pa Turner
Today's convo is with Toko-pa Turner. We discuss her book, "Belonging" and I get to read some of my favorite passages of her book which was transformative for my healing journey. We also discuss how she's practicing belonging today, what inspired the creation of " Belonging", and her gift of being a dreamworker.
Blending the mystical tradition of Sufism in which she was raised with a Jungian approach to dreamwork, Toko-pa founded the Dream School in 2001 from which thousands of students have since graduated. She is the author of the award-winning book, Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home, which explores the themes of exile and the search for belonging. Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa’s work focuses on restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, and facilitating grief & ritual practice.
