Spiritual Care

What if something as simple as listening to song prayers could facilitate personal transformation in ways that bolstered your resilience thereby augmenting your emotional well-being?

The Shadow is where we put our childhood traumas, the traits we aren’t confident in, the desires we don’t want to show to the world.
