DEVOTION with Nisha Moodley

Things are changing, but what will they change to...?

So many folks are asking deep questions right now...

What can the future hold, beyond these capitalist systems? What is the future of my work? What is the future of climate change? Where do I want to live?

The BIG questions of our world, are shaping and fueling the big questions of our life.

But when we place a high value on certainty and clarity, there can be discomfort with uncertainty, and an avoidance of the feeling of confusion.

This discomfort and avoidance can have us cling to the status-quo, rather than courageously and creatively envision and map towards new ways.

In this episode, I’ll share:

:: How we can normalize the feelings of confusion and disorientation for ourselves and others, so we can stay open to new possibilities for a more beautiful future.

:: The importance of creating intentional comfort, so we can navigate the intensity of entering the mystery.

:: Ways to identify your “pillars of nourishment”

:: How to discern who has the capacity to walk with us through the journey of questioning.

:: A bit of my own journey with unmapping from the pace of the world, towards embracing my own pace.

Ep 6: An Intimate Story - My Father’s Death

In these times when so many people are facing death in ways that lack the intimacy and connection we may long for, I offer a very personal story of a redemptive, beautiful, and intimate death – my father’s.

I share this with the belief that in times of crisis, we need more stories and experiences of connection, beauty, and joy... and, if this is a tender topic for you at this time, please feel free to forego this episode.

In this episode, I’ll share:

:: My journey with surrendering to my father’s dance with death

:: The rituals we did to honor his body after death

:: Our experience of having children present in his last days (and moment) of life

:: Lots of tears...
