I do not know how to describe my third Sacred Conversation, with Laya F. Saad. We just finished our conversation, so my heart is still so full and crying. Layla lives in Qatar, has done groundbreaking work on the harm of and healing from supremacies, and has been on a beautiful personal journey involving her ongoing discovery of her neurodivergence. She shared so openly with me. I guess you can say that our conversation is about embracing your true nature, including your creative nature, and just how life saving and changing it is to do so. Our conversation felt to me like playful prayer. I hope it does for you, too.
Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other’s journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way.
