Summary

Toko-pa Turner is a Canadian author, teacher, and dreamworker. Blending the mystical tradition of Sufism in which she was raised with a Jungian approach to dreamwork, she founded the Dream School in 2001 from which hundreds of students have since graduated. Her bestselling book "Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home" explores the themes of exile and the search for belonging.

In this episode we dive into Toko-pa's theories behind Belonging and Dreamwork, and her inspirations and experiences pertaining to both. She teaches us that perhaps belonging isn't a place at all, but rather a skill that we can nurture and strengthen within ourselves.

Discover:

The longing to belong drives so many of us to places of false belonging
How family and ancestors have influenced our belonging
When we come back into belonging, there is a beautiful cemetery that occurs
As we learn to become our whole self unconditionally, we no longer seek places to belong
What are the initiations by exile and why they are necessary
Why dreaming and curiosity are the most valuable tools we have

You can find Toko-pa on lnstagram, and on her website at www.toko-pa.com.
