Today, Wendy Porterfield and Liz Kravitz join us to talk to us about how running has evolved into a spiritual practice for them – a place where they can release and let go, where they can process, and where they can connect with others in a sense of meaning and accomplishment. Join us as they tell us their stories of overcoming struggle and discovering personal retreat, inner strength, and freedom.Additional ResourcesLiz Kravitz Coaching Website: <a href='https://lizkravitz.wixsite.com/my-site-1'>https://lizkravitz.wixsite.com/my-site-1</a> Email: lizkravitzcoaching@gmail.com Social Media: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/lizkravitzcoaching'>Facebook</a>, <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizkravitz/'>LinkedIn</a>, <a href='https://www.instagram.com/lizkravitzcoaching/'>IG</a> Justin Andrews – Running Coach Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/justin2ultra/'>https://www.instagram.com/justin2ultra/</a> Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/justin2ultra'>https://www.facebook.com/justin2ultra</a> #Ragnar #TrailRunning #5K #RunningInSeasons #RunningCommunity For Transcript: Go to the &quot;Transcript&quot; Tab.

Discover the gifts of deep listening and spiritual companioning. This podcast is dedicated to helping people become familiar with the wide variety of contemplative practices that have been developed over hundreds of years and are continuing to develop even to this day. We also hope to create a space for people to learn more about spiritual direction, also known as spiritual companioning. Our interest is in allowing "the contemplative" to become a part of our regular life experiences, and so we cover a lot of ground! How does Art fit? Music? Exercise? How does my personality play into my experiences? What if I don't feel comfortable with silence? What if I don't even know what I think about God? And what you'll find is that, since there are 3 of us co-leading the podcast, each of us often comes with a slightly different point of view. So there's no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all conversations! We hope you'll join us!
