I have an Easter treat for you, and of course it’s a gift that will give all year long–no matter when you stumble onto this episode!
My guest is Christine Sine, M.D. an author, blogger, teacher, gardener, spiritual contemplative and the Executive Director of Mustard Seed Associates.
She has much to tell us about Christian spiritually lived in a healthy, whole, and fully-embodied way.
The Show Notes are SO full of links to books and resources. Scroll down for all of those.
