Soul School – Lesson 35: The Mysteries of Mysticism

WELCOME TO SOUL SCHOOL

(released every Wednesday!)

I hear lot of people batting around the terms “mystic”, “mysticism”, and “contemplative” lately, so I thought it might be helpful to speak about what some of these terms and concepts mean and speak about some common misunderstandings too.

If you’d like me to go into more depth in an upcoming episode, send me a note or a question!
