Bayo Akomolafe, PhD, was born in Nigeria and steeped in Yoruba teachings as well as Western academia. Trained in clinical psychology, he refers to himself as a \u201crenegade academic\u201d and is globally recognized for his poetic, unconventional, and soul-stirring views on our current global crisis and the opportunities we now have for social change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this podcast, Sounds True founder Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Akomolafe about how sanctuary is where slowing down and healing happens. They discuss: how the function of slowing down in urgent times is not about simply resting so that we can continue forward in the same direction, but about how to engage in deep inquiry about where we are going; pouring drink to earth\u2014an African spiritual technology that expresses our indebtedness to our ancestors and all that makes life possible; standing at the crossroads\u2014how the ground underneath us is going through a seismic shift that is allowing the unsaid to now be spoken and intelligible; the invitation of the slave ship as a place of spiritual contemplation and as a site of renewing our connections with grief, loss, trauma, and tragedy; grieving as a form of activism; and more.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19584,"template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[392,386],"tags":[170],"contributor":[1016],"class_list":["post-19583","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-and-healing","category-spirituality","tag-insights-at-the-edge","contributor-bayo-akomolafe"],"yoast_head":"\nLet Us Make Sanctuary | Insights at the Edge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Listen to this Insights at the Edge podcast exploring let us make sanctuary.
