The Relationship between Descent and Vision
Manage episode 418579031 series 3574218
There is a natural relationship between descent and vision. And in our culture, we don't associate the two together.
"The descent is also often a process of arriving in the body and, through that, the depths of the underworld. Coming from a society that praises the rational, visible and quantifiable, we may not immediately trust the dark or easily adapt to this new landscape." - Carly Mountain
