  • Humor & Soul

    The hosts here exude a wonderful balance of humor and heart-centered curiosity often absent from conversations about spirituality in the West. Most genuine elders I’ve been blessed to encounter over the years have a wicked sense of humor. That trickster spirit is present here in this podcast - along with a genuine hunger for healing & transformation. Thank you!
