  • God Doesn’t Talk to Me
    What to expect:
    Is... “Everything is a miracle or nothing is”, true?
    Adam may be the most enlightened non-spiritual person you know.
    Am I an atheist?
    You can lose your religion, but can you really lose your faith?
    Is consciousness the same as spirituality?

  • Your Loneliness Is Not Your Fault
    Today we reflect on the year 2020 - what we gained & what we lost. We also talk about productivity & loneliness. As we wrap up the year, it may be hard to find the positives or even admit some of the good things that may have happened to or for us this year... We almost may feel guilty because this year, overall, was a very very hard year. We recognize that. But this is a safe space for all. And if you have anything that blessed you, grew you or positively affected you this year... we want to hear it. Let us cheer you on! Leave some comments down below on ways that this year has positively affected you. :)
