I've been away but I'm baaaack! Sorry to disappear fam, but sometimes you just gotta unplug it all and hang with the immediates! Nina and Maia got back from summer class at Berkeley (where Nina brought home the gift of Covid) and we all headed back up to The Sea Ranch in Northern Cali...this time Nina drove cuz SHE GOT HER LICENSE 🥳 Nothing like sheer 1000 ft. cliffs on the Highway 1 to scare you straight as a new driver, and now we're rested and back and READY TO ROCK 🔥 Lemme know in the comments if you did any last minute summer shenanigans and I'll see y'all on a live soon!

And we touch on the importance of embracing the unknown as the true entry point to the nature of reality.
Topics covered include:
The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
