In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we are talking to Azriel Lume about what it truly means to be an ethical, embodied spiritual practitioner - and what to look for when searching for spiritual spaces. We discuss the anatomy of ethical facilitation, why trauma-informed practice is non-negotiable, and how spiritual work must be grounded in accountability, activism, and continued learning. This is a must-listen for anyone on the path of healing, holding space, or guiding others in sacred work. We explore: How to identify and cultivate safe, ethical spiritual spaces Why ongoing education and mentorship are essential for facilitators The importance of embodiment and knowing your own triggers What it means to be a truly trauma-informed practitioner Why naming your lineages and teachers matters The role of cognitive dissonance in harm and healing How spirituality and activism are inherently connected Honoring client autonomy and consent in healing spaces The real responsibilities that come with holding space for others Resources Mentioned: Connect with Azriel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azriel.lume/ Find Azriel's website and offerings: https://linktr.ee/azriellume To learn more about, or to register for, the Sacredness of Grief Ceremony, follow this link: https://www.themysticinthewoods.com/GriefCeremony Connect with Kate: Instagram: @themysticinthewoods YouTube: @themysticinthewoods Find all her current offerings here.
