Functional Spirituality

What is an AWAKE teacher?


Listen Later

Living on the surface of language and concepts doesn’t truly serve us. To grow spiritually, we need to dive deeper — avoiding assumptions and quick conclusions. In this episode, Ava unpacks the confusion around what it really means to be an “awake teacher” and explores a functional approach to spirituality that invites thoughtful reflection.

Tune in to deepen your understanding and shift how you relate to spirituality.
