The Latex Nun: Damcho Dyson.

Damcho Dyson is a woman who flows with duality. She is an artist, and spiritualist, who became interested in how mystics transform suffering and become closer to God. With a sudden feeling that she wanted to become a nun, she erased 1200 of her drawings in a live installation and left her world behind to go to Tibet and take on the monastic life for 10 years. And now? Well… she’s a latex fetish queen.

The common threads that tie these surprising paths together? A deeply contemplative nature, a love of ritual and it’s connection to identity, and a yearning toward transcendence and the divine.

This episode is a candid, humorous, and contemplative look at the importance and power of taboo, the potential of the human heart and mind, finding ones limits, and exploding them.
