How can we incorporate meditation and spiritual wisdom into the messy realities of our lives? How can we think of spiritual practice as something that happens within life, rather than in retreat? Hi I’m Sarah, and for years I trained in yoga and a form of Tibetan Buddhist meditation, but found it incredibly difficult with two young children to train in traditional ways which required me to step out of my life to sit on my own. What I have discovered over these many years is that many of us need an adapted form of spiritual practice that fits in with our lives. Especially for women whose approach to spiritual practice may be different. This podcast is a continuing conversation about how spiritual wisdom can illuminate our messy real lives as women. Sometimes you’ll get me with some stuff I’ve been thinking about. Sometimes you’ll get me in conversation with another woman about the realities of their spiritual practice — what it’s actually like, how it helps the in practical real-life situations and what inspires them most. We are Messy. We are Luminous. And just Being.
