In the 32nd fascinating episode of the Sacred Dynamics Podcast, hosts Ro and J enjoy a profound conversation with Rupda, an internationally recognized Somatic and Trauma Therapist, Personal Development Coach, and Group Facilitator. Rupda shares her incredible journey from childhood abandonment to becoming a spiritual and personal development leader.
Rupda relates her unique life experiences, including her early exposure to Tibetan Buddhism and her time in Osho's Ashram. Her journey portrays the power of healing and self-discovery, as she transformed her early traumas into a mission to empower others.
The conversation delves into the modalities that influenced Rupda's approach, such as Somatic Experiencing, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Non-Violent Communication. She emphasizes the importance of community, connection, and embracing life's playfulness in spiritual growth. Listeners gain insights into navigating personal challenges, embracing their authentic selves, and moving from a state of abandonment to one of embodiment and presence.
