Bodhisattva Conversations.
Bodhisattva Conversations is an exploration of the practise of being. How we live, relate, and move through life with greater presence, awareness, and freedom.
Through reflection, Julia Chi explores what it means to create a deeper connection with ourselves and with everyday experience, revealing how inner clarity and presence lead to greater ease, joy, and aliveness.
This podcast is about experiencing who we truly are, moment by moment, and discovering how life unfolds more freely when we live from awareness rather than habit.
