    Examining the world of form with lucid daytime practices (live talk)

    Is the world and, with it, all our thoughts and ideas as solid & fixed as we believe?

In this episode we'll unpack loneliness from an energetic perspective and talk about the various 'portals' (such as relationships, our inner self, and nature) that we can work with to access our shared awareness and ...
