Can walking be a spiritual practice? It's NOT a silly question. A spiritual practice can be defined as any regular and intentional activity that establishes, develops and nourishes a personal relationship with Jesus in which we allow ourselves to be transformed. Perhaps your spiritual practice looks different to mine and that's ok. Whatever draws you closer to your Creator, that helps you to grow, that could be a place of deep connection, communion and intimacy with the Father. Perhaps your soul is restless in this season, listen in as we hold space to hear from Jesus.

How can you overcome teacher guilt and show yourself a little self-compassion? It's SO hard right? As teachers, we have an endless to-do list and not getting through it all can cause us a little shame, which turns into guilt, which turns into thoughts about ourselves that are just not true. When we choose self-compassion, we choose effective change in our lives. So grab a cuppa, find a quiet space and listen in.
