Episode 49 - The Strange Business of Being Spiritual
The spiritual path is a circle.
“Everything comes back to just realising it’s about being human. It’s about just being more of you, more of yourself. It’s not chasing all these things.”
Spirituality can begin as a journey back to yourself, but what happens when being “spiritual” becomes another identity to perform? In this episode, I explore the strange business of spirituality and wellness, and why I think the tree is beginning to shake.
I look at practitioners calling out other practices while selling their own solution, the difference between genuine discernment and marketing, and the authority we can give people simply because they look the part. I also question some of what we see in these spaces while remaining open to everything we still don’t understand. Perhaps the spiritual path really is a circle, and after all the searching, learning and shedding, we eventually come back to something remarkably simple: being human, and being more fully ourselves.
