Ep. 20 - Self Awakening with Marisa Radha Weppner
If you've ever wondered what your purpose is, this episode is for you (and we've all wondered at some point!) This week, Marisa Radha Weppner (Radha), guides us on how to re-connect with our life's purpose and tap into our true selves. Through practices like self-awakening yoga, psychedelic assisted therapy, and simply listening to our hearts, Radha shares personal experience and practical wisdom on how we can (re)awaken ourselves and our connection to all the magic this human experience has to offer.

She is the co-owner of Source Meditation Space, and a therapist at the Boise Ketamine Clinic. Her meditation album Guidance, with music by East Forest, is available on all streaming platforms.
