Spiritual Nomad: Week One

Last year, I did a course called Spiritual Nomad designed to help me better define my particular brand of eclectic spirituality, which is very eclectic indeed.  I never quite finished it, so I was happy to hear that the creator of the course was offering it again this year, and at a reduced price for...

Stuck Again

When we last left our intrepid spiritual traveler, her altars had just reassembled themselves.
