Скачать или смотреть The Surrender | When Power Comes From Letting Go ( Episode 16)

Welcome to Folklore & Flourish.

In today’s episode, we explore *the surrender*—the moment when effort gives way to trust, and control loosens its grip. Across folklore and spiritual traditions, surrender is not defeat. It is the quiet turning point where resistance ends and transformation is finally allowed to unfold.

Today’s reflections draw from Greek, Buddhist, and Christian traditions—each offering stories where release becomes the doorway to renewal. From Psyche relinquishing control to trust love, to Demeter loosening her hold on Persephone, to Siddhartha abandoning extremes before awakening, and desert monks choosing renunciation, these stories remind us that power does not always come from striving, but from yielding.

Rooted in folklore, spirituality, and reflective practice, this episode invites us to consider what we are still gripping too tightly. Here, surrender is not framed as passivity or loss, but as spaciousness—an act of courage that creates room for transformation to take root.

This podcast honors stories as they were told and the wisdom they carry, offering space for reflection, remembrance, and growth.
