Podcast: Mara Branscombe, Ritual as Remedy

Mara Branscombe is a mother, writer, yogi, artist, teacher, mindfulness leader, ceremonialist, and spiritual coach. She is the author of “Ritual As Remedy: Embodied Practices For Soul Care.”

Mara is passionate about weaving the art of mindfulness, self-care, creativity, mind-body practices, and earth-based rituals into her life and work, and she has been leading community ceremony since 2000.

“My work as a spiritual coach is to hold and embrace people in an emotional sense as they…connect back to a deeper place within themselves, so that one can spark intuition; so that one can see through the eyes of wonder.”

In this episode, Mara and Rabbi Rami discuss divine timing, modern mysticism, and taking care of the energy body.
