Description
What really happens at a spiritual retreat? Including a powerful guided meditation to bring you right there!
In this episode of Humans Decoded, Kiran Trace, Leela, and Cami reflect on the powerful insights, unexpected moments, and deep transformations that emerged during this year's community retreat. Together they explore how presence naturally brings hidden conditioning to the surface, why emotional discomfort often precedes freedom, and how authentic community supports genuine awakening.
From raw conversations to profound reflections, this episode offers an insider's peek at what authentic spiritual practice actually feels like—not as an ideal, but as a lived experience.
