Ep 07: The Relationship Between "New Age" and Ancient Wisdom

In today's episode, we explore the relationship between New Age practices and ancient wisdom and what it means to be a genuine spiritual practitioner in a world of influencers. We open up about our own spiritual journeys and dive into what New Age spirituality really means to each of us. We talk about how to stay grounded and mindful with your practice, focusing on your connection with your land, community, and body rather than solely seeking a path for transcendence. 

 We also dive into the shadow qualities of New Age – like how ancient wisdom can often get commodified while acknowledging the ways it's helped people reconnect with traditions and build a deeper relationship with true wisdom. Lastly, we  get into how crises, divine timing, and divine will all play into human connection.
