My favourite podcast by far

Lora & Jon are brilliant to listen too. So knowledgeable, great presenters, so genuine & generous. I feel connected to something much bigger listening to them. It's such an anchor & inspiration for my own spirituality and my practice of it, which I have been looking for years how to develop with the limited time & energy that I've had. Their free courses are really rich in quality & content (like the podcast! - they are on youtube too). Paid courses are top notch. They share stuff that is otherwise basically impossible to find. No words for how grateful I am to have come across these guys, which was via the podcast. They have reminded me how to see the magic in life 🙏☘️🐦‍⬛💚

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
