81. The Power of Community Witnessing in Magical Work

This is a topic that continues to teach and humble me. It's so potent, juicy, and rich. It's also very healing. 

The truth of it comes down to vulnerability. Being witnessed and being a witness are both deeply vulnerable experiences. As I share, the root of vulnerable come from "to wound," such that vulnerability means our capacity to be wounded. What does it mean to be openly seen as capable of being wounded and to still show up anyway with your magical gifts in service to others? This is what I most care about.
