What is Grace?

What is Grace?

Grace. A word that gets used often, its rhetoric and smooth way of evading conviction of definition in what it is. Toe be graceful; simple elegance or refinement of movement.

What does it mean to have grace though? We hear it a lot, and the context most of us known it in is one of religion. Here we dive into what grace is actionably, in terms of what it is that grace can actually do for us. The quality of grace becoming a way of choosing for ourselves what is truly necessary to carry forward.

What is grace for you? Come on a journey with us to inquire deeper.

What Is Surrender?

What Is Surrender?

Part of spirituality is navigating all the buzz words that often make the "work" we're really doing feel more elusive. Surrender is one of them; what is it really? How do we do it? How do we protect ourselves? What is scary about this intimate work....

"You can't control the surrender..."


Amanda and Forest dive into what surrender is, as we go through the transformations of this year (and any other time).

Trust in the process and dive into this episode with us so we can all sink a little deeper into this myth buster of surrender.

Hi! Welcome back, and welcome to Season 2 of Impractical Spirituality.

What is Sacred Space?

What is Sacred Space?

I came into this episode curious, and my friend Teagan came into it asking okay but what IS sacred space? What do you mean by this? And I think the beauty of this episode is the not knowing that allows us to dive deep. So come hang with us as we explore what sacred space means in physical spaces, in our relationships, communities, and how we care for ourselves. It’s a good one.

What is Astrology?

What is Astrology?

What is Astrology? This is such a huge question as astrology and zodiac culture permeate pop-culture and the idea of occultism. It is a diverse world of knowledge that has been used for centuries and has endless pockets and modalities in which it is used and studied. So how can we wrap our heads around this useful tool and find out what's fact or fiction about the planets and stars.

We got together with Anastasia Lemon from @sunmoonsquare to talk about astrology - not just the zodiac signs but how we can approach using it practically in our day to day life. Like should we even be using it daily?

Is astrology a facet of spirituality? What do you need to know about your chart to have a working knowledge of astrology? How can we utilize what show up? What are the true basics? Why does astrology work? Listen to learn the answers to these questions and more as we break pop-culture taboos on what astrology looks like and how anyone can apply it to what they already know in life.

What Is Spirituality?

What Is Spirituality?

What is spirituality? Outside of text book definitions, spirituality is always evolving and changing so the beliefs we live by are supportive of the society and communities we continue to foster and develop. 

There is no one way to be spiritual; no one kind of spirituality. In the light of the fast changing world, what does it mean to be spiritual in today? How do we find this path? What does it look like? How does it feel? 

Forest Greenwell, owner of fiends and Amanda Baiocco meditation and sound bath facilitator dive into their own Spiritual Awakenings - how they use it to foster their day to day lives now, and how it has evolved.
