    Modern Spirituality: The Shifting Poles of our Moral Compass

    In this episode we talk about the changing views of spirituality, both individually and as a society, for many this means moving away from more organized religion towards esoteric exploration of consciousness and intuition. And for us, it simply means asking ourselves a few honest questions about the topic.

    In our final episode of the 3-part series on News Chaos we look back to the biggest news stories of our time, the Covid Pandemic, the 9/11 attacks and the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting and how our experience of them through watching them play out on the news shaped us.

    News Chaos Episode 2: The Tin Foil Hat Society vs. The Apologetic Self-Preservation Club

    As world events continue to spiral at an increasingly rapid rate, people's mental health and its relationship to how closely they are paying attention to the news has come to the forefront of our consciousness as a society. Exploring our relationship with what we pay attention to is now a critical part of how we move through the world. In episode 2 of the 3-part series on this topic we explore news as "entertainment" vs. what we get out of avoiding the news. We deep dive into how growing up in a time of relative-peace has left us unprepared to deal with the impending doom or our time.
