https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-walks-here--6526482Love Walks Here, a touchpoint podcast in which we share our personal practices and experiences of embodying Love, and offering Love, through the nitty gritty experience of being a human traversing these wild and transformative times!.

The podcast is also an audio companion to Maryn’s Substack publication of the same name (Love Walks Here).  In the publication, Maryn takes a “Dear Abby” style Q&A approach to Life, Love, and the nitty gritty experience of being a human traversing these wild and transformative times!

Ultimately, our intention is that the conversation and the publication become a source of solace and empowerment - an energetic transmission that supports us all in standing in our sovereignty, finding our inner roots and stability, and hopefully bringing a little more ease, love and integration into the experience of being incarnate at this strange moment in history.

As we get this project started, if you have any questions you’d like to submit to be explored about life, love, the universe, the times we are living in - whatever is alive for you, they are more than welcome!

And feel free to extend that invite to people in your extended circles who may benefit from it. If the questions are explored in the podcast and/or the publication, they will be kept anonymous.]]>enSpiritualityCopyright(c) 2025 James Tousignanthttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/d16f919365724dda6d55ab7b5d1805f0.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-walks-here--6526482Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:03:51 +0000James Tousignant & Maryn SpanglerJames Tousignantjamest@lorian.orgHello and welcome to Love Walks Here, a touchpoint podcast in which we share our personal practices and experiences of embodying Love, and offering Love, through the nitty gritty experience of being a human traversing these wild and transformative...Love Walks Here, a touchpoint podcast in which we share our personal practices and experiences of embodying Love, and offering Love, through the nitty gritty experience of being a human traversing these wild and transformative times!.
