Exploring the inconvenience of spirituality

The mention of the word spiritual tends to trigger emotional responses - for some it is welcome, for some fear or rejection, for some trepidation, for some dismissal. Seeing ourselves as connected to the web of life is natural and how we've evolved as humans, yet we are living in times of significant spiritual starvation. Whilst major religions, nature connection and other spiritual practices offer many people a deep sense of belonging in life, many folks are growing up without any spiritual connection to life, living without any sense of tethering to a story bigger than the human story, and perhaps feeling a deep sense of lostness as a result.In this week's podcast, we dive into a complex and wonderous conversation about the role of spiritual practice in our lives and cultural stories, exploring some of the blocks to spirituality as well as where we can begin to welcome simple, powerful ways to reconnect with the awe and wonder of lifeIn this conversation we refer to the following:Harry Potter and the Sacred Texts (Podcast series)The Medicine Wheel (Indigenous practice framework)Praying with Jane Eyre - Vanessa Zoltan (book)Taylor Swift and the Golden Rule - Sandy Glanfield (blog) Hosted on Acast.
