In this episode of the Winter Soul Care series, Alexander invites you into a gentle writing practice centered on one essential question from Francis Weller:

What core practices help sustain your intimacy with soul?

Listeners are encouraged to pause, set a timer, and write—without editing or judgment—before returning to hear Alexander’s lived response, recorded along the ocean at Huntington State Beach. Through stories of caregiving, music, silence, creativity, ritual, and seasonal devotion, this episode explores how intimacy with soul is formed not through force or productivity, but through repeated, embodied practices of presence.

This episode is an invitation to remember what has always sustained you—and to recommit to the practices that keep your inner life alive, nourished, and connected.
