LOVE & the Power of Stories w— Michael J Morris
Too often we think of the truth as an objective reality we find outside ourselves. But what if it’s actually a story we tell together?Today we welcome Michael J Morris back to home—body for a soulful conversation about the stories we tell and how we tell them. We explore the nature of Beauty, Life and Time as we weave astrology, mysticism, physics and myth together.What shifts for us in our day-to-day lives if we understand that what’s happening right now is part of countless cyclical stories unfolding at the same time? How then do we take action differently? — Michael J. MorrisGuest bio: Michael J. Morris is an astrologer, tarot reader, dance artist, writer, and educator.
