Religion & Spirituality


This conversation explores bridging one's lived experience among many binary realities. Léon began bridging binary worlds growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico and visiting their white father in Texas. Léon now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico which is where Léon transitioned and came to embrace their non-binary gender-self, Léon.    Léon shares their contemplative perspective around conflicts such as "land ownership," money and value, emotional labor and abundance. Léon shares such depth of wisdom on their process of moving with shame, humility, languages, race, fear, spiritual life, capitalism, vulnerability, gender, physical reality, and powerlessness to step into their true self. Léon embodies how consciousness grows through expanding one's consciousness. Léon names how as humans we have individually and collectively created our experiences.   Perhaps in engaging in this conversation listeners will find empowering threads to shift and move with your lived experiences.
