FAR OUT: Adventures in Returning Home
FAR OUT chronicles the shared human experience of returning home to ourselves.
What does it mean to heal and follow life’s guidance?
How do we cultivate faith and connection?
What meaning do we find and give in the experiences of being human?
Always in a casual, humorous and real way, you’ll hear about Alasdair and Julie-Roxane’s ongoing journey, others’ stories as they navigate healing, meaning and connection in our current world & impactful conversations with guides and thought leaders that have dedicated their lives to the important work of restoring wholeness for ourselves and the world around us.
We’ll explore our human stories through the lens of ancient spiritual traditions, shamanism and archetypal work.
