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!

Today we are repurposing one of our favourite episodes.
Listen to Ava talk about an important tool of her personal development journey: Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Communication is not about following a book formula or exercises, it is about ultimately embodying the principles of NVC and integrating the humanity in our conversations.
Ava discusses how and when nonviolent communication changed her life and the way you can change yours too.
If you have any requests for upcoming podcasts we would love to hear from you!
