What does it mean to make your life a living prayer?
In this heartfelt and powerful conversation, Charisse welcomes her dear friend, creative collaborator, and soul sister Rosanne — award-winning designer, artist, and spiritual channel — for the first episode of a new segment on Charisse’s podcast, Wise Body, Ancient Soul: The Bellydancer and the Native.
Together, Charisse and Rosanne open sacred space for a rare and moving conversation with Grandfather, Rosanne’s wise Blackfoot ancestor and spiritual guide, who makes his podcast debut to share timeless teachings on simplicity, surrender, and spiritual maturity.
