    Open Water

    Open Water is a lyrical London love story that lets you learn languages laced with lovely feelings that leave you longing for lost lessons in the lanes of lasting summers, lazy mornings under luscious sheets. The heart leaps to the left, those lunar lights left on long long ago. Caleb Azumah Nelson created a great love story, a fluid love song. Song mentioned in the podcast: Wretch 32 - His & Hers (Perspectives) Music credit: Soulful Grove by Chelikok REMINDER: “If you love life, nothing is worth closing over. Nothing, ever, is worth closing your heart over.” - Singer Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    A Thousand Splendid Suns

    A Thousand Splendid Suns is a step into Afghan culture. We think about how perceptions can be affected or altered when we place a culture against the backdrop of war. Marriage, education, and family have so many layers when we analyze them through the lens of a culture and how these affect men and women. Music credit: 57 Lapis Lazuli by TOOONE Hosted on Acast.

    The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

    A call for us, as the intricate beings we are, to be more aware and conscious of ourselves as we navigate the world. Reclaim your life through internal excavation and seeking to understand. Be still, and give yourself time to do the work, whether that’s with your psyche, emotions, or experiences.

During this episode, we had a dog in our space who caused more disruptions than we expected. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
