In this episode, Emily and Kate sit down with Mudang Jenn, respected teaching artist, practicing mudang, and consultant on Muism–Korea’s ancient and enduring indigenous religion. (Mudang is very loosely translated to shaman, we discuss this in the episode!)

Continuing their special series on cultural topics, Catherine and Juliana discuss the ways Korean Americans are observing age-old traditions like Paebek (wedding tea ceremony), Dol (first birthday) and Jesa (ancestor veneration).

Kaycee Felton-Lui is joined by Korean shaman Mudang Jenn for a conversation on spiritual awakening, living as future ancestor, cultural reconnection, decolonzation and more.
