46 | Adi Cohen | Between Ruin and Renewal: Walking the Path of Love, Peace, and Resistance
“There’s nothing to fight for but Love, as the essence of who we are.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
In this tender and unflinching conversation, Adi shares from the deep well of her lived experience as a woman of Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi, and Israeli descent—lineages shaped by exile, migration, and the generational longing for safety. Speaking from within woven landscapes of both inner and outer war, Adi invites us into an exploration of what it means to live in the mystery, to surrender to the unknown, and to return to love as the essence of true power.
We trace the arc of her journey through dissonance, doubt, and division. Growing up in Israel amid the backdrop of conflict, Adi reflects on the rupture between her ancestral roots and the land she was born into. What emerges is not a story of blame or sides, but a clarion call to dissolve separation, to meet chaos with presence, and to walk the dark Feminine path of trust, tenderness, and embodied prayer.
This episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to lean into the deeper current beneath division—the unspoken yearning of all people to live freely, in peace, and in love.

“There is nothing to fight for but love, as the essence of who we are.”
A Call to Remember:
We do not need more trauma to awaken
Building from heart-wisdom and embodied knowing
Living as bridges between separation and wholeness
Rooting into love as the structure for what comes next
