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!

In this episode Ava talks about one of the favourite tools that she has come across in 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 the our conversations.
Listen in to hear Ava discuss about how and when nonviolent communication actually changed her life and the way you can change yours too.
