In this month's instalment of our popular 'Soulful Chats' segment, I am joined by a dear friend and colleague, Clinical Psychologist, Mindfulness Teacher & Coach, Alison Dougall. Alison is also an alum from my course 'The Conscious Therapist'.

In this fabulous discussion, Alison shares her journey with spirituality through the wisdoms of Buddhist Meditations and explores in beautiful detail the realisations that she experienced about the depth and breadth that spirituality have to add to life, as she moved from a solely secular mindfulness practice, to one that was more reconnected with it's spiritual roots.
