In this episode, I share a bit about how we got here.
From Day 1, January 2020, the essence of Brave School (as an idea, an entity) has always contained this vision of "dreaming our world back into wholeness." In those beginning days, I, Daje, wrote a lot about what it could look like to have a "politics of dreaming". I wove it into the most present modality alive in my work, brand strategy, because brand strategy provides straightforward, tangible, and grounding systems for us to channel beauty into the culture.
I honestly didn't see any difference between the power of the nervous system and the power of a strategic system -- they both help us carry stories that can make way for transformation. Both systems are wired to build, heal, comfort, serve, solve, and hold space for our wholeness to be birthed in waves upon iterative waves of innovation in the world.
In the building of business entities, and ideas, if the physical body and the stories they hold were the brick, then brand strategy could most certainly be a mortar of some kind.
Back when Brave School began as a 6-week Brand Strategy Intensive in January 2020, I couldn't have imagined that this door would lead to exploring wholeness, belonging, authenticity, and voice-honoring magic in the work, but I'm so glad it did.
In this week's episode, I talk about what I think Regenerative Mysticism is. I share how we got here.

Carly Mountain, author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories and Embodying the Inanna Myth, joins the podcast to discuss the psychospiritual descent to soul and the wildly misunderstood sacred rites of passage that many women secretly experience. She emphasizes the importance of calling this wisdom back into the lives of women and normalizing the nature of both descent and rising as part of the feminine path. Carly explores the concept of sacrifice and the need to let go of certain aspects of ourselves in order to rise and embody our true selves. She also highlights the role of desire and pleasure in the journey of descent and rising, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate these transformative processes.
There's something that happens when we walk through a soul-level initiation: we discover that we may have extrasensory gifts. These gifts don't often feel like "gifts" at first. Sometimes they feel intense, like the veil is a bit thinner than we thought before. If you're like many people, you take to google to try and figure out what's happening to you. Perhaps you have dreams or premonitions about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps you feel more sensitive to other people and environments. These experience may sound cool and exciting, but they are not always pleasant. They come with a tax to the body. It doesn't always feel pleasant to perceive the mixing of many people's energetic cocktails through your one little body. It's not always fun to wake up from dreams that feel prophetic, but a have a tinge of fear or darkness that we may not feel comfortable holding or working with.
