Practice: Radical Gratitude Spell (by adrienne maree brown, read by Fhatima Paulino)

A 5-minute practice to show gratitude for yourself and others on the path to liberation. The only way that feels appropriate to end this first, long season of Healing Justice Podcast, is with GRATITUDE. Thank you to adrienne maree brown for granting us permission to read this powerful spell, and thank you to Fhatima Paulino (of epsiode 15) for reading it with such kindness and sending us out with a blessing. --- radical gratitude spellby adrienne maree brownread aloud with permissiona spell to cast upon meeting a stranger, comrade or friend working for social and/or environmental justice and liberation: you are a miracle walkingi greet you with wonderin a world which seeks to ownyour joy and your imaginationyou have chosen to be free,every day, as a practice.i can never knowthe struggles you went through to get here,but i know you have swum upstreamand at times it has been lonely i want you to knowi honor the choices you made in solitudeand i honor the work you have done to belongi honor your commitment to that which is larger than yourselfand your journeyto love the particular container of lifethat is you you are enoughyour work is enoughyou are neededyour work is sacredyou are hereand i am grateful   * This spell as well as other incredible writing from adrienne can be found here. * --- ✨ STAY IN TOUCH WITH US ON OUR BREAK ✨  As we enter into a seasonal production break for reflection, restructuring, fundraising, and discernment, we need your accompaniment. Will you let us know what you’ve loved, what you want more of, how you’ve used the practices, and how you want to show up in this community?
