What does enlightenment really mean to you?
For some, it can conjure up images of sitting in silence with monks in an ashram for days on end in prayer. For people like Paul and Russell Sturgess, however, the path to enlightenment means something much deeper, more realistic and illuminating at a soul level.
Paul and Russell explore progressive enlightenment by way of the Major Arcana of the Tarot this week on Spirit Gym. (Download this PDF handout and follow along with Paul and Russell as they review the Tarot!)
Explore Russell’s work at his website where you can book a free 15-minute session to learn more about working with him and take courses on the Cathar Code and join his Pathways to Mindfulness mentoring program. Check out his lectures on YouTube.
Paul will also be hosting an exclusive Q&A session with Russell Sturgess for Spirit Gym podcast members at a future date so sign up for your Spirit Gym podcast membership today!
