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!

Meditation is an activity, a craft that we work on and can get better at. At the beginning it may require some effort but eventually the practice becomes an absolute joy and is weaved effortlessly into your life.
If you want to deepen your practice we recommend you to register in the Start Meditation course, a 21 day journey that breaks down the ultimate keys for meditation in the simplest way possible. With expert support and step-by-step guidance, you will experience meditation in your daily life.
