Episode 3
Drisana (Dru) McDaniel, mother-worker-activist and co-founder of the Transformative Teaching Collective, speaks to the power of sitting with paradox and how reorienting ourselves to the present moment can support us with integration and transmutation - what she calls becoming the everyday alchemist. Through sharing her lived experiences and her perspective on ‘turning towards’ versus ‘turning away,’ she provides a transformative and courageous foundation for engaging with the world.
