Embodied Spirituality is a space for conversations about rebuilding faith and identity after spiritual deconstruction. I’m Hailey Mitsui, a Spiritual Director and Somatic Practitioner, shaped by the Evangelical Christian culture of the ‘90s and 2000s. In my work, I meet with people navigating the aftermath of religious trauma, and two recurring themes often surface: the profound loneliness and the fear of ”getting spirituality wrong” in the process of reconstruction.
This podcast isn’t about offering a single path or theology. Instead, it provides a glimpse into the diverse journeys of individuals reconnecting with themselves, the Divine, and supportive communities. Each episode gently invites listeners to explore resources and practices—without obligation or prescription—reminding us that we’re all in this process together.
You’re not alone. We’re all finding our way.

In this episode, Hailey is joined by poet David Gate for a deep dive into his lifelong exploration of spirituality. They discuss how wrestling with faith has shaped his journey, the role of community as a form of spiritual practice, and his thought-provoking insights on the power of desire. David shares personal stories and reflections, offering listeners a fresh perspective on living authentically in pursuit of spiritual and emotional fulfillment. This conversation promises inspiration for anyone curious about the intersections of faith, longing, and human connection.
David Gate is a poet, writer and visual artist that hails from London, UK and now resides in the mist of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.
His work centers around care for the individual (heart, mind, body & soul) and the nurture of community (culture, the earth & environment, the dignity of others and spiritual communities)
