Soul ForumS2E2: Introduction to SoulBody Series (pt.1)In Western religious traditions there is often a wedge driven between body and soul. It can feel like the spiritual can exist on a plane that ignores the body at best. But, body not only matters, it is for many the pathway to a full experience of what it means to live in harmony with all we imagine as sacred.
Orienting more fully to body can invite each of us to feel the soul's journey in our flesh and bones, and maybe even to find some deeper connection to the earth / cosmic body of which we are a...
