In this episode, hosts Sangodare and Alexis explore the concept of the 'love ship' as a profound spiritual practice and a journey in relationships. With references to black feminist thought and their personal experiences, they outline three 'North Stars' guiding love ships: spiritual depth, mutual participation, and constant compassion. The episode also addresses a listener's question on balancing differing spiritual perspectives in a partnership, emphasizing the importance of mutual consent and intention in forming a true love ship. They conclude by inviting listeners to join their upcoming cohort for those seeking intentional partnerships.
