Marieme - A Cosmic Dance (#260)

Marieme - A Cosmic Dance (#260)

Author: East Forest May 24, 2023 Duration: 1:04:11
Six months after Marieme was born in the African nation of Mauritania, her life changed forever. When war broke out between Mauritania and her parents’ native Senegal, Marieme and her family were forced to escape. “We literally got on the last plane before the war went crazy,” Marieme explains from her current home base in Santa Monica, California. Her father, a top executive at a major electrical company in the region, was stripped of his livelihood. Before the war, the Diop family had a large home with staff and two cars; after, they were left with nothing. Marieme and her siblings went to live with their aunt in Senegal while her father and mother moved to the United States, settling in New York City’s Bronx neighborhood. It would be five years before they would be able to bring the rest of the family together again.

East Forest’s Ten Laws with East Forest exists in the space where melody meets mindfulness, and conversation becomes a tool for personal navigation. It’s built on a simple, potent question: how do we live with more integrity and ease during times of profound collective change? The answer unfolds through dialogues with a fascinating array of voices-artists, scientists, philosophers, and healers-who often defy easy categorization. You’ll hear from musicians about spirituality, researchers about the body, and dreamers about practical wisdom. This podcast is not just about talk; it’s an experience. East Forest weaves in unique, guided meditations and shares exclusive musical pieces from his own work, creating a sonic landscape for reflection. The discussions naturally touch on themes of mental clarity, physical well-being, and spiritual inquiry, reflecting the holistic path of the host. Each episode feels like an invitation to explore the internal laws that govern a more authentic life, all while remembering the profound connection between sound, silence, and our shared humanity. It’s a resource for anyone looking to deepen their practice, broaden their perspective, or simply find a moment of grounded inspiration amidst the noise.
