Hi, my name is Ava and I’m delighted to offer you “Functional Spirituality”, a free resource of talks, trainings and guided meditations. I use an academic approach to invite critical thinking into energetic, mystical and heart-based practices. Spirituality has a history of disempowering the individual and worshiping the guru or priest, without question. In this podcast, I aim to reduce the dogma that has rendered so many schools and practices ineffective - (and strange AF) - and to elevate the conversation around spirituality. I want to EMPOWER the meditator and yogi, to place the power back in our hands, to live directly from our own experience. I hope you enjoy!

We live in a time where our environment is constantly changing and our society is living in survival mode. When stressed, our thinking mind acts with speed instead of depth, trying to get things done instead of acting intentionally. There is no time for consideration, discernment and deeper thinking. These are key ingredients for living functionally.
In this episode Ava talks about functionality and why it is her # 1 goal. Listen in to learn some tips and ideas about how you can be more functional in your life.
