Finding Freedom: Healing Racial Trauma through the Ocean Within | R.G. Shore’s Story

Grief and Light Podcast

How do we free ourselves when we’re confined?

How can we heal from the trauma of our lived experiences?
THE OCEAN INSIDE ME is an award-winning and Amazon best-selling, spiritual memoir about healing racial trauma as a person of color incarcerated in an almost all-white prison. Amidst harsh conditions and blatant racism, R.G. Shore learned to meditate by going into his body, befriending his shadow, and learning to sit with the traumas held by his younger self.
Through his journey within, R.G. Shore learned to love and accept the cause of his deepest pain -- his brown body. His prison radio became the conduit by which he transcended the limitations of prison. The static white noise helped transform a world of concrete and injustice into a world where he could connect to nature and find healing through the element of water.
His embodied spiritual journey eventually led him to studying law, where he advocated for the very men who oppressed him.
A Master in meditation, R.G. Shore found a way to liberate his inner child in the most unlikely place, and is now offering a path for you to find healing as well.
This spiritual memoir also offers practical guided steps for you to begin your healing journey.
