SOUL PORTALS PODCAST
With February’s episode of Soul Portals taking place on Valentine’s Day, we look closely at what makes love a psychospiritual practice.
Our guests Nico Canon, relationship coach and best-selling author of Grace (2023), with his wife Anastasiia Tumanova, share how their deeply intentional intimate relating is a catalyst for personal transformation.
If romance is about being recognized in our essence, the new paradigm of evolutionary love is about the soul work and skillful means it takes to be portals of full presence for each other (both as window and mirror). As someone once quipped, that allows us “to bring more self to the party.”
