The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
The God Source Mystery: A Conversation Beyond Belief
In this unguarded conversation, we explore what it means to live in relationship with the unseen; to call it God, Source, Spirit, Universe, or simply Love.
Fresh from a transformational breathwork infused with Reiki session, a circle of luminous women gather in reverence and curiosity to speak about faith, energy, grief, and the mystery that breathes us. What unfolds is an unveiling that every path, whether rooted in Christianity, Buddhism, Shamanism, or the language of nature, ultimately leads us home to the same place: love, connection, and belonging.
In this episode we explore:
- What it means to feel the divine through the body, breath, and nervous system
- Finding trust after burnout, grief, or resistance
- How nature, sound, and art become languages of Spirit
- The bridge between religion and spirituality and how both can serve love
- The importance of reclaiming mystery in a world that wants certainty
