Intuition got a bad reputation for decades, written off as the mystical magical nonsense in comparison to the logical thinking that has been so revered.

If you are tired of learning the hard, second guessing your self and finding yourself living a life that you don't really want, this podcast can help guide you gently back to your intuition.

Our world is full of rushing, doing and planning the next thing. We have lost our rituals of silence and rest. Spending 7 days in silence is a favorite experience in my life. Silence can bring us home to the truth of our reality with clarity and swiftness that can surprise. Being in silence can feel scary and intimidating but I assure you, silence is a much more natural state than we might remember. I hope you find some encouragement to add a little silence into your own life and maybe even encourage others to do the same.
