How do we appreciate the important maternal figures in our lives? We are joined by Raj Escondo (she/her or they/them) a healing justice practitioner who hosts mother-daughter retreats and supports the integration of body and land for people and organizations. As we celebrate Mother’s Day in its many forms, we also recognize relationships are not easy. The challenge can allow us to grow like what writer Anais Nin says: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”Find out more about Raj at:Instagram @rajpractice rajpractice.comPlease join our metagarden: https://discord.gg/MeRrhxKax4Collect one of our NFTs: https://objkt.com/profile/gratitudebloomingWe appreciate your support and help so we can bloom!
