One Heart One Mind
What gifts can contemplative spirituality offer to a world that is crying out for a greater Love and Freedom?

One Heart One Mind is both a podcast and sacred space where you can come to rest, deepen your connection with the Divine, and let your heart be as big as it actually is.
