Exercising Your Spirituality with Susan Taylor and Khephra Burns

MP3 Download

Khephra Burns and Susan Taylor spend their lives seeking ways to help make our world a better place and their optimism and energy will inspire and motivate you to do the same. We often think of the spiritual path as a solitary walk toward inner peace; Burns and Taylor bring up the possibility that spirituality is more than that: "Maybe it's about accepting challenges -- diving into the wreck, getting involved and doing something." We all know life is full of problems, but, as Burns declares, those very challenges present the opportunity for us to develop and grow: "We are where we are and who we are because of the challenges that we face and overcome." Let Burns and Taylor show you the way to "take the reins of your life in your own two hands" and find the fulfillment that comes, not from acquiring more and more material things, but from being useful in the world.
