## Resource

Are we living in reality, or just navigating a map of symbols, metrics, and dead things? Rushkoff stepped away from notifications, Google Calendars, and his always-on world to attend a shamanic workshop in Costa Rica. He experienced a kundalini awakening that revealed a different way of navigating existence: One based on somatic resonance rather than strategic manipulation. 🤝 Team Human is proudly supported by Groucho.
