Burn Out, Joy + Accountability to the Soul w— Langston Kahn
"There's a certain joy that arises out of a fierce accountability to the soul."
Somatic + shamanic practitioner Langston Kahn weaves us through our mutual accountabilities to our constellation of selves + collective healing. Join us as we talk about the difference between happiness + joy, the spiritual roots of burn-out and how we can re-frame triggers as gifts towards our healing.
LANGSTON KAHN is a Black, Queer teacher and shamanic practitioner specializing in radical human transformation, ancestral healing, and restoring an authentic relationship with our emotions.
He stands firmly at the crossroads; his practice is informed by somatic modalities, contemporary shamanic traditions, initiations into traditions of the African diaspora, and his helping spirits and ancestors weaving it all together.
Langston gives workshops and lectures internationally, in-persoin personn, and online. He is a senior teacher in the Cycle of Transformation. He has served for five years in the Last Mask Community, a collective of people striving to live in alignment with ancient shamanic principles in service of personal and collective liberation.
