#TheVoidProject 10: Tangibles and intangibles w/Wenndi Freer

06/30/23 • 25 min

After we’ve dealt with the tangibles and plumbed the intangibles, what we are left with might be surprising.
Through a ritual called Space Clearing, we can infuse our home with our intentions, and gain greater awareness of our presence.
About my guest
Wenndi Freer is never satisfied with the superficial; her curiosity compels her to search for what’s underneath or behind initial appearances. When she was growing up in Connecticut she lost friends and family to early death, which led her to a number of questions about, and inquiry into death and dying. That unfeigned exploration propelled her onto a deeply personal spiritual path.
As a space clearer, Wenndi leverages the energy of people’s homes and offices to remove internal obstacles, loosen personal limitations, and position her clients to expand into an experience of the life that they truly want to live.

#TheVoidProject 09: Family agreements w/Susan Walter

When someone values experiences over possessions, it’s acceptable to have less stuff. Even preferable. It can become a delicate matter, however, when older generations are ready to pass down their favorite belongings.
Summary
With each move from one home to the next, choices await. About what to keep, what to acquire and what to let go of. These transitions can be opportunities to, "look at a new way of living." And clear organizing principles, with mutual understanding among all involved, pave the way for decision making to be relatively simple and straightforward.

#TheVoidProject Bonus Edition: A good death w/Wenndi Freer

A special bonus edition
Must death be such a taboo topic in western culture? To the curious, the exploration of death can inspire a spirit of discovery and wonder. Instead of experiencing emptiness, there’s a possibility of feeling incomparable fullness. And, perceived from a certain angle, it can reveal something of a spiritual nature to those transitioning and those they leave behind.
