We were lucky to catch up with Ether Glory recently and have shared our conversation below.
Ether , so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
It’s a mix of deep gratitude, Universal Law, practices that foster healthy spiritual hygiene, and uplifting community/like-minded circle.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I started off with various forms of art in the beginning. Singing, Music, Modeling,Styling, Creative Direction, Photography. Then I went through a self actualization and rebirth into Sound Practitioner and Spiritual Life Coach. I now am the founder of a Spiritual Brand called CoExist Ceremonies where we use the mediums of Somatic Movement, Plant Medicine (Non Psychoactive), and Sound Therapies. These ceremonies are based in the South Bronx in a borough that is statically one of the poorest neighborhoods in America! To serve where I was born and give in a space that will shift the frequency of not only NYC but the world. The birth of HipHop, the land of Legends, once they have the tools that can be hidden by wealth and privilege, this community thrive like never before. CoExist next Ceremony will be at Sankofahaus the luxury social hub of the South Bronx! Check out our Instagram @coexistceremonies for more info. Our founder is also launching his healing home near Yankee Stadium. This will hold more intimate and consistent operation from Kundalini Yoga, Trapeze Yoga, Sound Baths, Workshops, Drum Circles, Plant Medicine Ceremonies, Silent Dance Parties, Art Exhibitions, and more!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The Quality of Empathy, the Skill of Active Listening, the Knowledge of Universal Laws.
Empathy allows you to relate to another person. It develops trust, shows emotional capacity and depth, also safety!
Active Listening ensures that you are mutually sharing the conversation, you genuinely connect with another person. By authentically listening you can open up more opportunities that someone too self centered wouldn’t even leave room for. Almost like blocking your blessing. The same goes the other way around in others listening to us as well!
Universal Law to reach very objective ways of living that no being is exempt from. This can bridge into the topic of philosophy, but themes like the Law of Attraction where your mind emits energy to the universe and its responding to us always.
Advice: Look at what isn’t working, genuinely ask yourself and a trusted friend what aren’t you doing differently. Find modalities of release, and then environments that help to cultivate integration & rebirth.
What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?
My skills of communication and impartial discernment! Lately I’ve had to make decisions that ensure the safety of communities, confront relationships that either were not serving for some time or were exposed through moments of behavior. Even asking for support to exercise my abundance of resources and leaning into releasing over extending my nervous system!
