In fact many actively guide us away from that balance. \n\nSo in today\u2019s conversation we\u2019re going to dive into some of the ways this shows up in our culture and how it has a lasting effect on our ability to find meaning in life and develop deep connections to ourselves and the world around us. \n\n\u27a1\ufe0f See full notes on the companion blog:\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/meaning-balance-spirituality-john-v-ep-54/\n\n\u2705 \n \n------------------------------\n \n\u26f0\ufe0f Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats:\n \nNothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!\n \nWe take only 20 people per retreat and there is no other experience like it in the movement world! \n \n\u2705 Check it out and Consider Applying Here:\nhttps://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/retreats?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=retreat_rtts_2020\n \n------------------------------\n\n\U0001f570\ufe0f SCHEDULE\nNew Podcasts are uploaded every Monday.
