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! For Q&A questions, topic suggestions email Ava at functionalspiritualityretreat@gmail.com Visit www.functionalspirituality.com Follow us @FunctionalSpirituality or @avairani_ and our Yoga Studio at @spandaschool

Triggered in a conversation
Wednesday Jan 05, 2022
Wednesday Jan 05, 2022
Most conversations start off harmless and yet they have the potential to transform into arguments or debates. This is what it feels like to be triggered and when we put up our defences. The walls we construct feel tight, constricted, chaotic, and most of all not very nice.
What can we do when this happens? Join Ava as she walks through the answers to these three following questions:
How can I stay present in the moment?
How do I develop the intelligence to consider different dynamics that are at play?
How do I cultivate the freedom to act in alignment with these intentions?
