In this episode, I speak with Rebe Huntman, a memoirist, essayist, and poet whose work explores the intersections of feminism, world religion, and spirituality. Rebe shares her deeply personal journey of losing her mother at a young age and how this profound loss shaped her exploration of the Divine Feminine.
Our conversation delves into Rebe’s experiences with dance as a sacred practice, her time studying Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions, and the transformative journey that led her to write My Mother in Havana: A Memoir of Magic and Miracle. Through her storytelling, Rebe offers a powerful perspective on grief, healing, and reconnecting with the mother energy that surrounds us.
