The Trickster: How disruption awakens truth and remembrance in a world of illusion.
A reflective meditation on the archetype of the trickster — how shadow figures, both inner and outer, catalyze growth by shaking us from passivity, revealing the stories we unconsciously live by. Rather than resisting these unsettling forces, we’re invited to see them as mirrors, provocateurs, and ultimately, necessary guides in the soul’s evolution. This is not a conversation about villains — it’s an inquiry into awakening.
