What if every spiritual tradition on Earth is actually teaching the same universal truth—just using different languages?
In this eye-opening conversation, Sarah Woodard reveals how she successfully mapped over 40 spiritual and religious traditions—from Christianity and Islam to Aboriginal Dreamtime and Taoism—to the ancient Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This isn't about converting to Judaism or learning complex mysticism. It's about discovering the universal patterns your soul already recognizes and remembering the divine wisdom you were born with.
Sarah shares how nature itself is our first and greatest spiritual teacher, offering lessons in letting go, resilience, and renewal through every season and cycle. Whether you're exhausted from trying to fit into religious boxes or simply seeking a more authentic spiritual path, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on connecting with the divine on your own terms.
In this episode you'll learn:
🌳 How the Tree of Life serves as a universal map that unifies more than 40 different spiritual traditions
🍂 Why aligning with your soul's season matters more than following the calendar year
🧘♀️ The truth about meditation—and why traditional sitting practice doesn't work for most people
💚 How to recognize when your soul is speaking to you (through longing, resonance, and even jealousy)
✨ Simple ways to create sacred spaces in nature without elaborate rituals or special tools
Perfect for spiritual seekers, those healing from religious trauma, nature lovers, and anyone ready to move beyond dogma into direct divine connection through Kabbalah, contemplative practice, and soul alignment.
