The Woods Out Back
David (Avi) James
Welcome to The Woods Out Back! The woods are a space to go out and adventure, to get lost, to get a little scared by the dark and to be in awe of the beauty of the light, all at once.

The pacing of this one is different, and there's background noise from the woods, but I'm hoping it all adds up to a sort of meditative experience. I invite you to slow down, maybe get outside yourself, and reflect on some of these issues alongside me. It's worth noting in...

Spiritual Origins & Journeys feat. Rhiannon K - Ep. 2
Meet Rhiannon, my twin on a spiritual level, the Pisces to balance out my Virgo. Rhiannon's being born into Wicca contrasted with my being raised in an agnostic/atheist household has always made for interesting discussion, so I wanted to share some of that with you here. A little bit of our stories, a little bit of queer stuff, and general sense of spiritual openness and appreciation. (They're named for the goddess, not the song, for anyone wondering.
