This week, we're welcoming THE ICONIC Leya Van Doren to the Vortex and woooosh, are her words RICH with meaning, wisdom, and deep consideration. Leya is one of the best-spoken and most insightful people we have ever had a conversation with and we are buzzing with excitement for you to hear this convo! IT'S SO GOOD.
We start by diving into Leya's recent move to Washington, DC, and marvel at the way cities create a microcosm for the full spectrum of the human experience. Then, we get to hear Leya's uber-unique origin story growing up in a 10-person family with a Soviet mother and moving to an ashram at age 14. She speaks to her deep roots in music, homeopathy, and spiritual practice (particularly in the yogic & Hindu traditions). We hold deep contemplations around the commercialization of spirituality and the rich Indigenous & cultural traditions that the modern world has separated so fully from their source. Leya believes that nature is our greatest teacher when it comes to returning to the purity of these spiritual practices, and she shares her most postent lessons & learnings from nature as an herbalist!
We freaking ADORE Leya and know that you will, too!
