Rituals are actions repeated with intention. According to Tracee Stanley, author of Radiant Rest and The Luminous Self, rituals are also powerful tools for knowing yourself more deeply. Join me for a candid conversation where Tracee shares personal experiences, observations, and ideas that led her to share deeply personal stories and sacred practices with the world inside her recently released book The Luminous Self.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: How Covid influenced The Luminous Self to become more personal, vulnerable, and mature than the book Tracee was originally inspired to write. How Tracee is working to transition from a vertical model of community to a horizontal or circular model. The role of community care and supportive relationships for creating sustainable transformation. How to craft an environment that supports growth. The responsibility for teachers to embody and digest their practices instead of treating them in an extractive manner.   EPISODE LINKS & RESOURCES: Tracee Stanley’s website The Luminous Self Follow Tracee Stanley on Instagram @tracee_stanley   LINKS AND RESOURCES: Follow YTR on Instagram @yoga.teacher.resource  Join the Yoga Teacher Resource email list Join the Yoga Teacher Resource Facebook Group Learn more about the Impact Club Leave a review on iTunes Ask a question for the podcast on the Yoga Teacher Resource website or on SpeakPipe
