Spiritual Discernment: Reading the Room, Yourself, and the Weird Stuff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we continue our conversation about spiritual and energetic discernment by moving beyond what discernment is and into what it actually looks like in practice.

Read excerpt
In this episode, we continue our exploration of spiritual deconstruction by examining the questions from the Tempering Path lesson on unlearning binaries. Together, we work through the assumptions we've inherited about spirituality, morality, and the ways we divide the world into simple categories.
